Making of JT screencaps

[PaleBlueDot]

Just got the JT DVD. I really liked it -- even more than I thought I would. I love Bono's facial expressions, getting all shy and stuff, while he and Danny listen to his voice in the studio. And I find myself watching the "Hallelujah" ending of Running to Stand Still over and over again...But I can't watch the song itself. The imagery that Bono creates there just spooks me too much. Same with Bullet in the Blue Sky from the Elevation DVD -- can't watch that, either.

Anyway -- has anyone done screencaps of it here? I feel like wasting some time.

Y'know...I'm going to bed at 2AM EST...

ahem.

Dot.

 

[PaleBlueDot]

ME: if they don't reply, I'm going to bed
CMM: YOu're gonna be hard-pressed for a man. You're gonna want instant gratification in sex all th e time.
ME: come again?
CMM: Dude, just let it simmer a bit.



Dot.

 

[PaleBlueDot]

Sigh. Nevermind. We are experiencing technical difficulties at the moment.

[Kristie]

I have, but I have... like a whole freaking lot of them.
Is there anything in particular you're looking for?

 

[PaleBlueDot]

OK. Here we go. I think y'all are sleeping, that's why no replies. ::nods::

Alrightythen...

::gets chills running down her back::

 

[PaleBlueDot]

Oh no, I meant I was going to post some. But I didn't want to if it had been done before. But now that I've started....dunno if I can stop! lol!

And Bono acting all cute and bashful!

They're listening to his voice part on Still Haven't Found, and he just sorta coughs and fidgets shyly, to which Danny goes "I know you want to talk, but let's just listen to this for a bit."

I remember reading once that he was at a stoplight in his car once and MLK came on the radio, and he saw people in other cars looking at him, and he could feel his face going red. So cute.

I know it's weird for some people to think of Bono as being bashful about anything, but he is. His voice is one of them. When he's performing -- you know, in the moment -- he doesn't think about it. But when he is listening to his own voice, especially when he's really giving it his all in the song, it's actually a little embarassing. And rightfully so, because when you put yourself out there emotionally the way he does, it does make you vulnerable. But what he can't see unless he's on stage, is the power and the force that creates for the listener.



And then he does it again later...

"That's Bono's guitar."
"That's the first time anyone's ever said that!"

Bono: *looks real interested in what's going on*

ah... go ahead, knock yerself out

 

[PaleBlueDot]

Larry pushes his hair back all sexy-like.

I don't think I even remember what he was saying, here. I was just...watching him...in awe.

Larry plays the fake drooms.

Baby Larry plays the drooms.

Guitar lessons with Mr. The Edge

Mr. The Edge proudly shows off his prized possession.

"And THAT -- believe it or not -- is the 4 track cassette which had the demo for Where the Streets Have No Name. The first time I tried to record it was in the house, with just a guitar, and a drum machine, and some keyboards."

 

[adamswildhoney]

wow! i need to get this dvd!!!

 

[PaleBlueDot]

wow! i need to get this dvd!!!

It was made a while ago so it's nothing to write home about as far as DVD's go. But if you're the type who loves behind-the-scenes stuff, it's great. I am kind of a techie, and I love to see how things are done. So for me, this is great. But for some, it might be a little boring. But there is also a lot of footage that I've never seen anywhere else, such as some video of the JT cover photo shoot.

Mothers of the Dissappeared

Bono showing off the tenor skills he inherited from his old man.

What went on in Central America, as Adam said in the video, really hit home with Bono. But a possible reason why is something you may not know -- These so-called "Disappearances" was something that also used to happen in Northern Ireland. During the 1970's, the IRA abducted and murdered ten people, refusing to admit where they were buried or even that they were involved with the Disappearances at all, until President Clinton intervened in the late 1990's.

 

[PaleBlueDot]

This is Anton Corbin...

...He makes me wet.

Did you know Anton is something like 6'2"? Very tall guy. Even taller than the "Yah-shua" Tree.

Bono not paying attention in class. As usual.

 

[PaleBlueDot]

Cigarette-Smoking Man! (The good one. The only one I'd kiss!)

::Wants to touch:: ...but sadly he's behind glass.

Ok. All Done. Bye-bye.

[Desire4Bono]

Where are the best ones of all, the ones of the band in the desert during JT and Bono driving the truck with Larry in the back?

wow wow wow!!!!!...so how is this dvd called??

 

[PaleBlueDot]

It's called "U2: the Joshua Tree" and it appears to be part of a series of documentaries that were made on the making of some of the greatest albums in the history of rock. Distributed by Image Entertainment. The cover design really sucks -- but it's what's on the inside that counts.

Oh no...Bono's driving...

 

[PaleBlueDot]

Sit tight. Gotta go find some more...

Random Adam: Playing the *awesome* bass part he came up with that MAKES Bullet in the Blue Sky what it is. I am not worthy.

The footage we all would give our right arms to see in it's entirety:

 

[PaleBlueDot]

OK that's it. Hope you're happy now.


Dot.

 

[martha]

I gotta get this.

NOW.

My boys all over Death Valley and Owens Valley?!

I guess I know what my $20 GC to B&N is all about!!

 

[Bonofire]

I wish I had a whole tape of that, Martha, but don't waste your money if that's what you want. There is VERY little footage of the JT era outdoor stuff, only a few fleeting seconds, maybe a minute total on the tape. The rest of it is rather dull, Bono and Edge and Lanois discussing studio stuff, Bono looks about 55 years old. It was a big disappointment and I'm sorry I bought it

 

[rockonedge]

wow................nice pics! Those are great!

 

[Ashley]

I just ordered this with my B&N GC for Christmas, and it should be coming any day now.....

 

[sam_hewsonu2]

Oh no...Bono's driving...

But he looks really sexy drivin' isn't he?
