Request: Band Members Playing Other Instruments

[bigbang]

Please forgive me if a similar thread has been posted before.

Anyone have any pictures of the band members playing instruments that aren't
their traditional ones?, i.e: Bono playing the drums, Edge playing a saxophone, Larry playing piano.
I know a few of these exist (probably not Edge on sax)

My brain doesn't quite register Adam and Edge switching instruments for "40." It's that awesome.

For starters, here's what (I believe) is a pic of Bono playing piano a la Matt Bellamy. He's at the top right of the picture:

I've got some I could post. Do you want Edge on piano, because of course there are lots of those, and it is sort of his instrument I suppose. And I always love that pic you posted above.

Not a photo actually I know, but I made some gifs of Bono on drums.

There are quite a few of these around as well.

Hey Bonocomet these are all brilliant! I especially love Bono smiling
behind the drums and the GIFs of him playing, he looks so happy.

It looks like Larry is about to bust out rapping in those pictures.
With some work, he could be a dead-ringer for Billy Idol.

THIS.

Now, is there a bootleg mp3 of whatever song they're playing?
I'd love to hear Bono's drumming now that I've seen it.

 

[bonocomet]

Bono does look happy in those!

Edge is a handsome man but his expression there is totally something like:

Adam on vocals

and on guitar

I'm sure there is. I used to have a song labeled Bono on drums/Larry vocals, but now I can't find it.

Well, I guess that it one of his regular instruments but thought they PLEBAN folk might like the picture anywho.

This thread is proof that drumming makes everyone happy. I can confirm that.

These gifs are perfect!

Those pictures of Bono playing harmonica are .... delightful, delicious and delovely.

Did you make this one sipsi? I like it, but wondered if you wouldn't mind if I edited the advertising text off of it.

Agreed. It was one of my goals in life to witness this event live. (achieved)
