How about Bono, totally out of control in 1981?

U2 - Out Of Control (Belfast 1981) - YouTube

One of my favorite sexy-B moments from Rattle and Hum

U2 - Exit, Gloria /live/ ( Rattle And Hum) /1988/ - YouTube


and having an ecstatic soul moment at the Apollo just about a year ago.

Great Performances: Bono Live at The Apollo, NYC - YouTube

I love his face at the end. "Come on, give it to me. You know that was awesome."

YouTube bono he moves in mysterious ways this is my favorite version of the song. I also just realized that he says morghleigh sprite teach us and morliegh child at the end. I always that it was more child. But it also reflects how good Morliegh is and how lucky edge is.

that's Mr. MacPhisto to you

 

[jeevey]

I like how he had a little silver in his beard even way back then. Dead sexy.

I believe this here would be my most favorite Bono portrait ever.

 

[jeevey]

What year was that? VERY nice.

Do you happen to have that one I think from somewhere JT through AB, where he's sitting in a dressing room with no shirt on, sitting way down in his chair with his head thrown back? It's B&W in profile, and he's in some sort of hard chair facing left. I should have saved that one when I saw it.

Edge also had that few silver hairs going on in the AB years. Sigh...

I agree! I like the juxtaposition of the two portraits--the one from 85/86 next to the later photo. While I love post TUF/ pre-JT Bono, I love the character in his face in the second one. The lines, the faded scar. It shows a powerful yet reserved (is that the right word?) confidence.

What year was that?

I was wondering that myself.

Love this one. This was my wallpaper for a long time.

This one?

Funny you asked, I had almost posted this at the same time I posted the portrait but decided on just the one for the time being. Anyway I was going to post a few more shirtless Bono's.

I'm not exactly sure on the year for this one actually. I don't have this file dated, which is too bad because most of them are. It looks to be ATYCLB era but we'll have to investigate it further for more specifics.

I was going to guess AB. Either way, wowza.

Whoops! I just noticed that he's in a towel.

Bono + guitar=

anyone else notice that bono has worn the same pants for thirsty years. I mean I can't complain to terribly much can I?

B: Oh my God it's the ultimate shiney!! Thank you the Edge.

OH wait were we talking about different pics on the year? I meant the portrait, that one is ATYCLB era. The towel one is 1992.

YouTube I think this may be my favorite B outfit I know everyone else's out fits are HOT!(especially Adam and Larry.)

Um, I think what happened is that we WERE talking about the same photo, the one that you said was your favorite. Then I looked at the 1992 photo and something kind of happened to my brain.
