Someone should tell Bono...

[jphelmet]

Bono's 'coolness' is taking a serious hit on this tour. the jacket, the hat are nothing- the way he beats the drum during lapoe is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen.

That's what everyone said about those silly fly wrap around sunglasses. Good thing those didn't catch on.

You're lucky I am a mod

 

[U2dork]

I kinda agree with him.
I've said before that I think Bono looks like an anime character with the bandana and jacket. I'm starting to be less opposed to the jacket though. I think I'm just getting used to it. The man still has boat loads of cool, though.

And thanks, Elessarian! Beaker made a return as my avatar with the Charlotte onsale this weekend. His look represents how I felt trying to log on to the friggin' website. And yes I am going to be at both Atlanta shows

Yeah but Bono's much more entertaining when he's not being "cool". The silly outfits and wierd dance moves make for a good laugh!

yp jimmy page wore that hat too.

i say edge should get rid of that "doo rag" on his head and get one cop hat like bano!!

 

[Axver]

He wears it during Zoo Station. It's not a policeman's hat but more like a train station agent's. Or whatever you call that person. What the hell do you call a guy that runs a train anyway?

Well, you can have a stationmaster who manages the station, the driver and fireman on a steam locomotive or just the driver ('engineer' in the US) on a diesel or electric locomotive, and conductors will manage the actual train if it is a passenger service, check tickets, et cetera, older services would have a guard/brakeman, and ... yeah, I'm a rail nerd.

Who gives a shit? He could come out dressed in an elephant suit for all I care. His 'coolness' is totally irrelevant to the quality of the music.

Nevermind

I think he's going for the Village Police look, I hear the Indian headdress is next

Maybe he's working up to the Full Monty....

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

well that would be nice

I'm just kidding in case anyone freaks out or something..

 

[joyfulgirl]

He did? Must have been for a few seconds, cause I sure as hell didn't see it And he and Edge were right in front of the elipse during Zoo Station..

Not that it's worth going on about, but I swear he had the damn hat on at least for a few minutes during Zoo Station at Denver 1, at least long enough for me to have the thought, "oh, cool, I forgot about the hat--haven't seen it since San Diego 1". I must have been seeing things which wouldn't surprise me after that hellish day in the GA line. But he walked right in front of me and I remember being happy to see the hat.

The axl rose look is having a beer belly these days.

 

[faithingrace]

Ha

I always think he looks like part of the Full Monty! Now that I wouldn't mind seeing!

Oh so true Axver! Bono is the MAN!

 

[bonoed]

I want the top hat back, that was my favorite.
