Bono seemed like he was three seconds away from an idiot-moment and Larry saved him.
I guess Larry really does play a vital role.
I guess Larry really does play a vital role.
Bono seemed a bit drunk...maybe tired.....he seemed to ramble.
Larry interrupted him, rightfully so, and brought it back to reality saying thank you to the crew who leave their families to set up the claw.
Adam chimed in saying the claw looked like a toy.
The Edge made a statement that got bleeped. It was something along the lines of his favourite moment being when they turn all of the "shit" off and the band is surrounded by just their fans in the stadium.
The video montage leading up to it was fantastic. Will i am did the introduction and presented the award.

U2 Appear at Billboard Awards

U2 showed up at the 2011 Billboard Music Awards tonight in Las Vegas to accept the Touring Award -- for both the biggest tour of the year and of all-time. (They also were nominated for Top Duo/Group, but the Black Eyed Peas won that honor.) The show airs 8-10:30 p.m. on ABC, so depending on which time zone you live in you still have a chance to see them accept the award, in the last half hour after 10:10 p.m.
A video introduction to the award featured Paul McGuinness, Willie Williams and Joe O'Herlihy talking about how difficult it is to take the 360 tour concept and stage around the world.
Will.i.am introduced the band, and each member of U2 made a brief statement. Larry thanked the crew (admitting he doesn't know all their names); Adam called the stage "a children's toy"; and Edge said he loved the feeling of the audience surrounding him.
Bono said, "Some of the greatest music is made so quietly, and you can make classic albums in your bedroom and you can play the greatest show of your life on a one-string guitar -- but we don't do that."
Also during the broadcast, Bono appeared, along with First Lady Michelle Obama, Barbra Streisand, Lady Gaga and others, in a video tribute to Beyonce.

That was a really good advert for any tickets left on the N.A. leg. haha
Totally shocked they were actually there, I thought it was just gonna be some sort of little video package of Bono and Edge accepting some consolation award. It kinda made me laugh though that the intro was all about how incredible the stage was, lights were, and screen was, then Edge goes "my favorite part is when they turn all the shit off"

Got lucky, and was able to catch this appearance on TV last night.
Had just finished watching Game Of Thrones and I flipped the channel to see what else was on and I landed on these awards just a couple of minutes before U2 was introduced.
The Tour Highlight video was awesome, got me all excited to see them live again in July

The press conference was hilarious! Bono , teasing Larry after Edge gave props to him for the ONe and Red Campaigns.! "Larry donated the ping pong table to the girl and boys club! " hahaha
Why are they going on Idol? Uggg. I don't like this. But I do like seeing them on the TV I must admit.

They're promoting Spiderman. I heard maybe doing a song with some of the cast members? Or just the two of them? Something like that.
I can't begrudge them for wanting to take the opportunity to promote the show to such a huge audience.

Wasn't Bono a mentor a few seasons ago on American Idol? I don't see an issue with them going on there.
