FUN U2 quotes.....

[Gina Marie]

Bono from George Magazine


Are you a role model for younger musicians?


[Groans] Oh, don't I think a lot of people out there just think, Oh,
yeah, weren't they the band that had all those ideals in the '80s
and then they started dressing up in shiny suits and got all
artsy? I don't think people see us as a role model, and I rather
like that they don't. We're going after the soul music now. That's
where the battle is won and lost for me politically - in the deep
waters of the soul.

Edge from a chat on MSN


What do you think of Sojourner - the Mars Probe?


Edge: I'm all in favor of Mars, I think Mars is a fantastic idea.


------------------
If you are really good friends with The Edge, you can just call him The~ Adam

The right side of my brain is kinda redundant~ Larry

 

[Sherry Darling]

~Osama Bin Laden can kiss my white Irish ass.

~Larry Mullen Jr: a man so handsome he will never sing lead for this band.

Leno: So...you guys are our Coalition partners.
Bono: Well, we sent the guiness boat.

There are soooooo many more, Bono quote are one of my favorite things. But that will do for now.

This one is probably already here, but this is one of my all time fave Edge quotes


"Bass players get the weirdest fans. I tend to get the bespectacled M.I.T. students. Bono gets the poets. And Larry, unfortunately, gets the girls. We should have gotten a Ringo." (Edge, U2 at the End of the World, Bill Flanagan, 1995)

"You can't surrender to melancholy; that's too easy. Joy is a subject I go on and on about. It's one of the only emotions you can't contrive. It's impossible. Despair and anger are easier to convey. Joy is right next to happiness, which is not so interesting, and sentimentality. Great rock 'n' roll, the raw stuff, is pure joy. It's that sense of being alive, of being grateful for your pulse."
-Bono, 2001

 

[Gina Marie]

Larry cracks me up-that dry sarcastic Irish wit.

Why did you title the album Pop ?

Larry Mullen Jr: It looks great on T-shirts.

 

[Gina Marie]

Woohoo-some funny Paul stuff-who knew he had it in him?

Do you play any musical instrument and if so have you ever been on a U2 album?

Paul-

No, I play no musicial instruments. I had an early and unhappy experience
with the piano when I was about 12 years old.

Since then my only contribution musically to a U2 album was some hand clapping
on one track on the War album.
I suppose the lesson from that is that I wasn't good enough to be asked
again.

 

[FallDownJulie]

LMFAO!!!!

i love this thread so much that i must *bump* it!

"Let me introduce you to the scientist in the family. The man who gets sexual pleasure out of the collection of data. The Edge!" ~Bono (Boston)

"EEEEEDGE, BEDAZZLE MEEEEEE!"

"The idea is to eroticize the male body instead of the female." - Bono

"Well, again, within that spirit of not-seriousness... To all intents and purposes, the mystery and power of the penis is, what will it become?" - Adam

"Penises, I'm inclined to believe... are good things." - Adam

When I first read this quote in the U2 bible, I died laughing. See both of my brothers graduated from MIT and The Edge is their favorite member of U2 and their favorite guitar player ever. By the way, I love this thread, good idea sparkys girl!

Just had to come back to add another one from Paul-LOL!!

What went through your mind when the Lemon did not open in Oslo?

Paul-
Utter panic. But also a feeling of immense relief that it was not me inside.
I was standing there as it opened. It did open about a foot and I could
see the 8 feet of my clients but not the rest of them.


As I watched, they tried to close it first and open it again and it was
well and truly jammed. It then made a retreat to its starting position
and they had to climb out the back and out to the B stage. I really felt
for them. It was, of course, the ultimate Spinal Tap moment.

yeah, well I have leaning towards Sparky lately and I do not consider myself or any of the other ladies on here weird. I also think we are all a bunch of hot & sexy ladies!

more quotes.....

i like this one alot too! *we are THEIR PEOPLE!! how cool is that?!?!

"Rock 'n' roll concerts, there's much more subtle things going on than the obvious. People are screaming more for themselves than they are for us because their lives are bound up in the songs. Songs have a way of getting under your skin in a way that movies don't. It certainly affects me that way. We've always had a strong and deep-rooted connection with our people." - Bono, Star Tribune, Oct. 1997

"I don't mean to be arrogant, but ...I do feel that we are meant to be one of the great groups." - Bono, Rolling Stone, 1981

Who knew he was such a laugh riot?

Do you sing
along at the shows?

Paul-
I think I have caught myself singing along once or twice. But I don't think
anyone would want to hear my harmony.


Hmmm-good thing I didn't hear him singing.

Adam: You are, arguably, the best dressed man in rock. How do you do it?

Adam -That's definitely arguable if you talk to me other three mates.

Well, Joan Rivers says Edge is the worst dressed one.

Don't you just love humility! he is such a sweetie, he knows he's the best dressed man in rock, he would never admit it though, he is too classy for that!

"I have a very vivid memory of what it was like. I remember opening with Mofo and just being so aware of....extreme fear, something I'd never experienced before. My whole body was caked with sweat. I was running with sweat to the degree where it made it difficult to play. And there was this feeling
of having no strength in any part of my body.... It was like being on a magic carpet that part of you expected to fly, and part of you knew there was no way it could."
-Adam, Q magazine, on the begining of the PopMart tour

This one makes me LOLLLL
"I just passed Adam, I said, Adam, you're 40, do you have anything to say? And he said, obscurely, How long do I have to sing this song?" - Bono, in the YahooChat, 12 March 2000

Anger is simple. Any artist knows he can do it with a black brush. That's what rock is at the moment. It's an easy thing to do: painting in black. Joy is something else. It's much harder to create because you are dealing with something much deeper and much more emotional. It's a connection with the audience that borders on faith, believing in something together.


Is this the one?

this might be it, too!!!!

hey guys

- I need your help!-

my sister needs a quote for her yearbook! It doesn't necessarily have to be a U2 one, but anything you find would be greatly appreciated!!

------------------
"Songs are the language of the spirit... the melodies are how you sing to God. It's a deep language. But they can't explain everything, because really great songs touch places that you can't explain." -Bono

** U2 Take Me Higher ** <--my "spoons"

Jazz man bass man cool -bluey-

*If I didn't have my spoons, I'd go insane!*

 

[elevatedmole]

Um.. this isn't exactly appropriate, but what popped into my head was something Bono said in a article recently.. "Being born and dying are the two most important things that happen in your life, and you don't have any control over either of them." (not sure if that is quite how he said it..) lol, I'm so strange..

------------------
"Don't call me Shirley." - Larry

"I was drunk, high on him, a shrinking, shadowboxing dwarf following in his foosteps...badly...STARSTRUCK.." - Bono, on meeting Frank Sinatra for the first time

Most of the quotes I submited for senior quotes were U2. Lol the yearbook staff is gonna think me goonie.

I used
"What you don't have you don't need it now. What you don't know you can feel it somehow" (*LOVETH*)


"The goal is soul"

"Dream out loud"

I think I used a Bruce quote from Badlands, too. I don't remember everything else, but that's what I put anyway.
