no, it's tommorow night. they are the musical guests, they get to sing two songs instead of one! (new york and stuck.) i hope there is an interview as well, but musical guests usually only get short interviews if any. but, most guests aren't U2!!!

which part?

they obviously were what everyone came to see, though. They got an even louder response than NSync did. (I made 3 people listen to it, so I have proof! I do experiments

Yeah, the whole VMA's sucked major ass,
and then the network blamed U2, saying it was their fault that Britney's performance got delayed, which is why hers resulted in a piece of crap (but let me say it would have been crap even if there was no delay....)

! So many yummy conspiracies!

1.) The animal things
2.) Bono's hair problems
3.) Sabotaging Britney.

heheh CHEERS to Bono.

That is so evil! I can't believe they did that. But then again, MTV isn't too bright.

11:35, CBS
Oh...and for the MTV thing, I happened to watch repeat of it, and they edited out Bono's comment about how MTV didn't pay the light bill. They should have left it so all could know how stupid they were. They (MTV, not U2)probably weren't prepared to have a band actually PLAYING! EGADS! Who actually plays instruments now...I always thought that was a thing of the past

Err... and the snake dance and the porno-music background had nothing to do with how horrible Britney's performance was?!

How was it U2's fault that Britney was delayed?! I am not going to lie, I am insane jealous of that girl. I think she is beautiful. I also have to confess that I went to see On the Line with my friend today! I'm 23, I have a problem I know. (lance bass is too cute)
Okay! I digress...the reason I mention this stuff is b/c I was watching TRL when U2 was on with Cardboard Adam. I was watching with my old roommate and did any one else notice that Carson Daly addressed a question to Larry by calling him Adam? The boys tried to be nice and blow it off as joke but Carson really didn't know that he was talking to a cardboard cut out. My roommate and I wrote emails to MTV about how maybe Carson should get his head out of Fred Durst and Puffy's ass and learn who the REAL talent is!
Anyway...that has bothered me for a long time...

Cool!

I'm glad to know that there are other Azaleas across the lands!

My name is basically a pun off of a line in ISHFWILF. For years, I thought that Bono was singing "burning azalea" rather than "burning desire"! (I know...I need to listen better!
biggrin.gif
) Azalea also sounds a lot more exotic than my given name of Sarah. When someone shouts "Azalea!" out, there is less chance of twenty people or so turning their heads around!

Well, this is what MTV said, but everybody pretty much thinks it bullshit:

Apparently, Britney was going to play guitar & sing "I'm a Slave 4 U" live, but when U2's performance got delayed (cause a guitar amp blew out) they had to strach that idea w/ Britney & have her lip-sync cause they were afraid the same thing would happen again....

In my opinion that makes no sense because:
1)Britney lip syncs nearly all of her performances
2)Why would they have choreography memorized for the whole song if Britney was going to sit & play guitar through some of it?
3) MTV obviously wasn't worried about U2's performance being screwed up again cause they threw them out there again
4)MTV tried to hide the evidence by cutting out Bono's comments - so the people who missed it & watched at a later time wouldn't know..... (but it's too late fo that 'cause I downloaded their performance & it still has the part where Bono says "We're sorry for the breakdown in transmission....")

And this is why U2 get blamed again for what was going to be a bad night anyways

I was watching with my old roommate and did any one else notice that Carson Daly addressed a question to Larry by calling him Adam? The boys tried to be nice and blow it off as joke but Carson really didn't know that he was talking to a cardboard cut out.

~ Yeah, and Carson Daly did some serious ass kissing up there - and I saw when he called Larry Adam, and Larry just looked at him like "So this is what MTV has become..."
 
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!

I get to see my Larry on the telly!!!!! I hope they let him talk again although if they're going to sing 2 songs they probably won't be interviewed

But I hope he will anyway

The U2 revolution has been reinstated.

"I am a sexy mofo, what can I say?" --What Larry really says to himself when he looks into the mirror every morning

Question from Caller:we want to know how he's maintained his youthful looks. we think he looks so much younger than the rest of the band

Larry:let me put it this way. Michael Jackson got the idea of the oxygen tent from me. and all this hanging out w/ monkeys and shit like that, it's all to do w/ that.
 
I have to give Carson credit, I think he was just a little loopy that particular day. He did a great job introducing the band at the VMAs and when the band was on TRL last year at this time, the guy looked like a poor kid at Christmas who somehow got the present that only Santa could bring. I feel bad-- he has to schlep around with all this crap music but he's a big U2 fan who just got a little confused but a cardboard cutout.

As for Letterman, if you're in the NYC area, a group of U2NYCers are going to try and meet the band after the show. We're getting there around 5-5:30 and the backstage door is on 52st St. I believe just down the street from the Hello Deli. There will be a barricade, some fans and U2's equipment cases on the street if you're trying to find it. Stop by and say hi!

Burning Azalea,

Where do you live in Kansas, if you don't mind my asking? I live in Oklahoma and have a quite a few friends who live there.

Just curious.

Can't wait for the letterman show tonight!
