How did i become a U2 fan??????Hmmmmm ......well it was the nite of the MTV VMA awards one year and i saw U2 come on but i didnt know anything about them at all......anyways they were performing Stuck In a Moment and i said to myself .......i know i know that song i've heard it manytimes on the radio before but i never payed much attention to it..........
.....anways i started listening to them perform and the way Bono sang it was so beautiful .......the way he was.........so gorgoeus standing there..........he totally got my attention........from then and there i knew that i had to find out who this group was and get as much cds as possible.......and i'm proud to say i've been a fan for one year and is still on the road to discover more about the most talented band called U2.
I liked that whole thing from the VMAs...I remember, during "Elevation"-I think it was at the part where he goes, "I need you to elevate me here", how Bono kinda slid down so that his knees were bent but he was still on his feet and all that...I'm like, "Ooh, smooth..." (I saw that after I became a U2 fan, when they repeated the awards show one time).
A thing I've noticed with a lot of these stories: most of us had heard their music before and either liked it but never really knew who it was or never really thought to listen to more of it right away, or we didn't like their music at one time.
It's just funny the circumstances that led a lot of us to finally wind up discovering the greatness of U2.

The first time I ever saw them on TV was in the One videoclip... the version where Bono is sitting at a bar. I was like:"My god... this is what the singer looks like...

LOL, yeah, I know what you mean...like I said, I saw that "When The Stars Go Blue" video and I remembered Bono was the lead singer of U2, and I saw him dancing with Andrea, and I just thought that was so sweet. And he seemed so charming. So I was like, "You know, that lady who wrote in to "People" magazine, the one who said that she liked the Bono article that was in there a few months ago, the one who said that he'd always have her vote for sexiest man alive...yeah, I'm starting to agree with her..."
Heh, and then my sister, one night, she sees me watching the video and she goes, "You're not getting a thing for him now, are you?" and I said, "No", and she goes, "Yeah, right." She eventually figured it out one morning when we were watching videos and the one for "Elevation" came on. I pointed out that Bono had an earring on, and somehow from that bit of information she discovered I liked him.
I can't keep my crushes from her, I know that now. She'll find out eventually.
And after I started liking Bono, and seeing a lot of older clips of him, I realized, "Okay, not only does Bono look good now, but he apparently has looked good for a long time."
Especially when I started seeing pictures and videos of the band's from the late 80s, when I saw how Bono looked during that time, I was like, "
THUD...hello..."
Heh. Another thing I remember-when I was younger I'd seen the videos for "Numb" and "Lemon" on T.V. one time.
My reaction then:
...
My reaction now: This is different...and cool...
And until I'd started becoming a U2 fan, I had no idea they did the song "Staring At The Sun". I'd heard that song on the radio, but had no idea who did it, then one day I was looking at this thing that listed all these songs U2 has had in the Top 40 charts, and "Staring At The Sun" was mentioned, and I was like, "Oh, wow, I didn't know
they did that song!"

YAY! Shannon! 
My first thought was "
Then I thought "Wow! They're really interesting." So I went out and bought Achtung Baby (reccomended by my Sis) and fell in love with it. The rest, as they say, is history! 
...Darren Hayes, formerly of Savage Garden-yeah, my sister likes his stuff, too-I think it's neat that he's a big fan of U2 as well.
