I was wondering when did Bono first start wearing earrings? Could someone please post pics of him with our without them so we can determine a time frame of when he got them? We can also look at all his different types of earrings. I think they are mostly hoop ones but we can look!

U2- The Unforgettable Fire still burns!
 
I don't havwe a scanner so I can't post any pictures, but I think that Bono started to wear earrings just before Joshua Tree days. In the the video Pride or Unforgettable fire he isn't wearing any. At first he only wore one, but during the Zoo TV tour he wore two. As far as I know he has always only woren hoops.
 
slightly off topic, but i find it odd that sparky is the only one who doesn't wear earrings! *esp. considering that he was the 'bad boy' of the band!*

ScottPhisto and I were watching the Joshua Tree documentary and he (finally) noticed that Edge's left ear is pierced above the lobe. And I told him "Well yeah, that's so you can still suck on his earlobe!"

ScottPhisto: *combust*

I agree Maria, it's one of those things that's always made me think: hmmmmm...what's up with that anyway, Sparky??

Larry was the first one to wear an earring, then Bono, then Edge....I've always thought that Bono's left earring was uncentered, and always wondered why Edgie chose to put that one little earring where he did, and always wondered, what's on Larry's earrings? One is a cross, the other one...???

Speaking of Bono's ears and stuff....

Last night I was at a Christmas party with the U2LA-ers and a girl at the party was showing that picture that was circulating around from In Style's Halloween pictoral... you know the one... the one with the guy in in a black mask, red shock of flame hair and a studded thingie around his neck. Anyways. So, they said it was Bono.

Moonie: Nuh-uh. It's not Bono.

Other Girl: Yes it is! I was at LA1 and said to Bono as he was coming in, 'I liked your Halloween Costume!' He turned to me and said, 'wow, thank you. How did you know about that?'

Moonie: That's not Bono. He doesn't have GIGANTOR ears like that. Bono's ears are little. And, the fact that the person wearing that wig is BALD tells me it's not Bono.

Other Girl: Well, In Style put it up on their site. It's Bono.

*****************

At this point, I gave up. If she wants to think it's Bono, then sure, fine, whatever.

I know it's not Bono because he was a yummy vampire with little ears, not some flame jester with big ol' GIGANTOR ears. 'Nuff said.

I agree with you. The guy who was in that costume was Patrick Stewart who is bald and wears no earrings. The reason Bono acknowledged the Halloween costume comment was because he did go to a party. He and Gavin Rossdale went as vampires. He probably thought that's what the person meant.

WOW-Bono and Gavin as vampires. If I had been at that party, I think I definitely would have offered my neck to them.

And what's so sad is that I *KNOW* I'm right about that not being Bono, but she didn't see that. GRRRRR.....

Geeze... all she had to do was take that picture and hold it up to one of Bono with his ears showing and it would have been so obvious.

Is that a little ball earring above the cross-hoop? My Little Larry Bear keeps getting harder to make authentic. How do you tattoo bears?
