bono is such a girl in the BAD ZOOTV RFK video, i think he was thinking of this after the incident too
Didn't he put a stop to that one, though? He was certainly, um, involved in the Fly clip.
It's obviously not available on YouTube, but I would give anything to see the early gig in the USA circa 1981 when Bono lost it on Larry and attacked the drum kit onstage. Edge, ever the pissed-off professional, then went after Bono and slugged him across the kisser.
Of course they laugh about it now, but it must have been a major moment at the time.
Yeah, he said about that "adrenaline is a powerful drug" or something like that. Brilliant stunt though, do you think he told anyone - band, security, etc - that he was going to do it?
That Fly clip is a bit raunchy isn't it?? Hehe, thought he was actually shagging that fan during the solo
YouTube - U2 - Breathe + Get on Your Boots (Friday Night with Jonathan Ross)
See Breathe.

Is this the one where Bono tells the story of Edge breaking his nose during Electric co at the RR Hall of Fame(New Haven he thinks) or was this another time? I dont recall a Bono-Larry dispute being part of that story. Anyone know any more about this?
I heard that Edge and Bono had a fist fight on the Zoo Tv tour aswell, can anyone back this up or is it bs?
agreeThere's some shit that's clearly crazier than this, but, this made me laugh a lot more than any of the others. I've watched it like 10x and it still cracks me up.
Reminds me of that Canadian date during the Vertigo tour I heard about where some female got too frisky during Yahweh.
Oh, that's nothing compared to this craziness:
YouTube - Pearl Jam - Day on the hill - porch - Kansas
Regarding Bono, his Electric Co. 1983 performances are for sure the craziest shit he's done. Probably inspired good old Eddie too.
Yeah I think there the same stories, it was New Haven 1981 , the incident is briefly described in the U2 by U2 book, Bono kept counting in the song but Larry wouldnt come in, this happend a few times, Bono thought Larry was having a laugh making him look stupid so he fell in a rage, really Larry was just trying to fix his kit, it wasent fixed to the floor and the toms had moved away from playing, Bono didnt notice this so he went back smashed the kit to one side to get at Larry, Larry walked offstage, and Edge knocked some sense into Bono,

I dont' think there is video of it but there was an incident at the "Save the Yuppie" concert U2 performed in San Francisco in '87. Bono goes off on a fan that is waving a sign that says SF U2. Bono thinks it stands for Sinn Fein and yells at the guy for having the nerve to wave such a sign. It is clear to everyone else though that it stands for San Francisco U2.
