HA!! Well there you go, someone with a much better memory than me!

I had just Googled "Bono eyeliner" and found that link.

Incidentally, the first photo that popped up via Google made him look like he belonged in Prodigy's "Firestarter" video.

 

[bonocomet]

There was definitely an interview that he talked about it. I'll have to look around.

 

[ClaytonsKitten]

My guess would be that it disappeared after one half of the rhythm section threatened to punch it off.

It wasn't Adam....I bet our Lord Clayton was quite taken with it and probably offered to lick it off.

 

[jeevey]

 

[bonocomet]

Hot. Period.

 

[chork]

That works, too.

 

[ClaytonsKitten]

Hot. Period.

Seconded.

 

[chork]

Jeevey: cleaneth out thine in-boxeth.

 

[jeevey]

Whoops! Done.

I thought sure I had that Zoo era one from the drag shoot where he's wearing the massive feather boa and making a sort of broken-hearted torch singer face at the camera, but I can't find it now.

 

[bonocomet]

One of these??

 

[bonocomet]

Oh geez I need to rescan that second one, the quality is crap! I rescanned the first one recently, love it.

 

[jeevey]

Where were those originally published? The one I was thinking of had the same clothes but him sitting on the bench used in the One video. I haven't seen these ones before!


Also, Edge's face! I think I'll do a crop of that, if that's okay.

 

[bonocomet]

Oh of course be my guest. It's only a crappy screenshot from the video of them doing that photoshoot. I used to have it in my YT account but I think I may have deleted it. I'm sure it's still there somewhere, you might even be able to just get a better cap.

Those Anton shots are from U2 & i. DO YOU NOT HAVE THAT BOOK YET???

 

[jeevey]

No. Hmm, a happy birthday to me gift?

Also, you think they put shadow in the cleft of his chin in that shoot? Cause it's really stark there.

 

[chork]

One of these??

Oh, this one kills me dead.

Can't decide if I want to shag him or go shoe shopping with him...



















(Shag. The answer is always shag.)

YES! YOU NEED THAT BOOK! It's beautiful. And I believe I have seen smaller versions that are less expensive .

LOL I never thought about the chin cleft thing before. But my first thought is that it's because he is so clean shaved... something we never see anymore, and the shadows on that shoot are so insane.

 

[bonocomet]

Agreed on that first Bono pic. I cannot tell you what that pic did to me the first time I saw it. And I mean I CANNOT begin to explain.

 

[ClaytonsKitten]

(Shag. The answer is always shag.)

Agreed. Shag.
Although I would rather have Ad in HIS drag getups! Holy mama.

I liked the eyeliner! This particular look with the fingerless gloves, sparkly jacket, and eyeliner must have been an experiment, since it didn't last long.

That look makes me want to implode with horntastic glee.

Also, I really like it.

 

[jeevey]

Fingerless gloves, always hot.

 

[ClaytonsKitten]

"Horntastic glee"

I love it.

 

[bonocomet]

Bringing these here because

 

[Rachel D.]

I love Bono's tiny boots!

 

[jeevey]

All the winning elements here.

 

[bonocomet]

One of my FAVORITES.

All the winning elements here.

That used to live on the ceiling over my bed in my teenagedom.

Has this been posted before? I have never seen this Bono interview! It was conducted after their performance at the U2 Festival in 1983. I love how upbeat and optimistic his is about U2 music. It is that passion that made me fall in love with U2 music. Check out that mullet!

[bonocomet]

^ Thank you for that! Wow, love it. I liked the bit right in the beginning about his name. Nice back ground too.


So I thought I'd do the next pic spam through the eras. I decided to do whichever band member's thread had fallen behind the rest. And that would be BONO. So here we go.
