The Sad Punk
Blue Crack Addict
How the fuck is this any more serious than another thread here?
Great thread JC.....
There ARE people who want to just see the band,,or possibly SAY thank you,, and MAYBE, if lucky, get a signing. Whether you agree or not - doesn't matter, The band is adored and fans want to see them.. Adam, Bono and Edge know that .. and that is why they stop. Even Larry has come out of hiding a bit..
Unfortunately, there are many who believe rules don't apply to themselves.. these are the same people who are disrespectful in many other areas of their lives...
Mobbing them IS dangerous and ridiculous....
There was NO security out after SNL, other than Edge;s and Adams.. it was insane. there were about 40 (?) people there,, and if controlled - if people behaved on their OWN - the rest would have probably gotten their moment ,too.
Shame on those that ruin it for everyone else.
i don't understand the original post. could you please use a bigger font?
I wathc vids of the band meeting people, and i really cringe at some of the stuff people say to them. Some parts of europe, the fans sound so rude and pushy, but am sure its just coz they arent natural english speakers so they sound that way. And some of the US fans are complete ass kissers. If i was in the band...i would avoid that too. Still entertaining to watch tho
I don't understand why the SNL show with fans was way different from when they came in and out of Letterman. Those crowds were pretty good.
TO EVERYONE OUT THERE:
WHEN WAITING TO SEE BONO DO NOT YELL AT HIM!!!! HE WILLGO AWAY!!!
DO NOT RUSH HIM! HE WILLGO AWAY!!! BRIAN WILL DEFINATELY MAKE HIM LEAVE.
IF EVERYONE WOULD STAND THERE RESPECTFULLY, HE WILL STAY LONGER AND PEOPLE WOULD HAVE A BETTER CHANCE OF MEETING HIM.
I KNOW ITS EXCITING BUT COMPOSING YOURSELF IS THE BEST WAY TO HIM!!!!
Is it just me, or did anybody else get a visual of Bono as a wild animal while reading this. I can almost picture a Steve Irwin (RIP) type saying, "And here we have the rare species knows as Bono, indigenous to pubs and stadiums worldwide. Let's see how close we can get, but....*whispers* we must remain calm and quiet lest we want him to scurry away."
Sad.Sad.Sad.
That's too bad. He was their bodyguard for quite awhile.
DO NOT FEED THE BONO
Letterman is filmed during the day, isn't it? So they were coming outside in the late afternoon or early evening. SNL is on the air until 1 am, so they are leaving in the wee morning hours. That could be a big part of the reason the crowd was more rowdy.
For all that doesn't like whats being said then don't read or comment and get out.
So let me get this straight: a thread on a topic that I consider completely insane is posted on a public online message board, and I shouldn't read or comment on it?
Not a chance. I have every right to be here, as does everyone else, because this topic is detrimental to anyone out there that is a simply a fan of the band and its music.
No slight against you, and I mean this in the nicest possible way, but it's the mere fact that you have rules for stalking another human being that gives U2 fans in general a bad reputation to the average person. And I, for one, do not want to be lumped in with them.
I mean, really: read back what was written. Be quiet and respectful or Bono will go away? Don't rush him? We're talking about stalking another human being! That is insane.
To be fair, I haven't read anything about people stalking the band, just behaving appropriately if you do have the opportunity to meet them. It seems Bono and the rest of the guys enjoy meeting with smaller, calmer groups of people.
Yes, Bono was just enjoying a quiet afternoon with
