[Headache in a Suitcase]

Bono's fine. It's all a joke. Band will play all week long as planned. Calling it now.

Yes, nothing says good marketing like making every U2 fan not tune in to see U2 play because they think they won't.

I heard Andy Kaufman is the guest on Tuesday.

Yeah yeah yeah yeah.

 

[Hewson]

On what planet would that be a good idea?

(Punk rock on) Venus?

 

[digitize]

Oh, or invite a bunch of "tribute" bands with the look-a-likes playing dress up, in keeping with the skit/comedy spirit of his show.

So would you go straight back to work on the day you just underwent surgery?

Not saying Bono should follow the same example but...
This music video shot against medical advisement, under painkillers effects and already under recovery period, because a new album was already finished, already had a scheduled release date and the first single was already ready to come out.

 

[lazarus]

The other three should do a cameo and photobomb Benedict Cumberbatch tonight (he's a guest on the show).

I wonder if they had a little comedy bit planned for this reunion.

LOL, the intro to Jimmy Fallon said, "Musical guest: Not U2."

Guess they did have some trouble getting someone at the last minute! At least for tonight, anyway.

The haters are loving that!

I'm a little bit bummed out that they won't get to be on with Benedict Cumberbatch.

I firmly believe this is more of Guy O's judo publicity and Bono is resting comfortably in the Exumas this week. By not appearing they get more attention than if they had appeared, so when they do appear, it will be like two weeks of U2. The present absence is actually the absent presence.

Bono shouldn't do anything that he's really not up to doing but depending on the nature of the surgery and injury it's not inconceivable that he could be ok enough by Friday to make a brief appearance on Fallon.

Oh my God.

Couldn't help it.

Jimmy Fallon and The Roots with an amazing performance of Desire to close out the show! Very cool.

That was a cool idea for a last-minute save.

Fallon actually had a pretty decent R&H Bono voice there...

 

[Y2K]

Perhaps "Not U2" will have a week-long residency now?

I have to see that.

 

[trevgreg]

Even with the last minute consideration aside, that was pretty darn good.

Seems like they have a cook lined up for tomorrow's show, but I wouldn't mind seeing an encore later in the week myself.

Definitely. And it would've been best for all if Madonna hadn't done that either.

Is it wrong that I find Not U2's Desire more exciting, interesting, and convincing than any of the performances U2 has done on the promo tour?

Amazing things happen when you plug in your instruments!

 

[djerdap]

It's more interesting than any version of Desire they did since 1993.
