Re-naming The Edge

[crystal4470]

I have been spreading the word around the town that i live in, Melbourne-Australia, that my daughter has re-named Edge to Beanieman.

I think this name suits him better since all he wears now is beanies..

What do you think? Should we all start calling him Beanieman?

I also would like everyone to post pictures of Egde as "Beanieman" please. I appologize that i haven't as i am working on a friends computer and i haven't got my picture files with me.

Should tell everyone that my daughter is only 4 years old.

beanieman i think it's sweet, though The Edge sounds much cooler

anyway, here's the Beanieman!

 

[crystal4470]

Thanks and keep them coming so i can stock up again on my friends computer.

There's a rapper called Beanieman.

My daughter is in rapture with these photos. Thanks for helping me make her happy.

there's a jamaican hip hop dude who goes by "beenieman." and he is VERY different from edge. even though the spelling is diff, the pronounciation is the same. so.... confusion would arise!

"hey look at beenieman, the guy from u2!!"
"What, he joined u2??"
"Nooo, he's always been in it!"
"Whaaat???"

And so on.

@crystal4470:
Welcome! What did she say this time? if I show Edge pics to others at my school they all don't know who he is seriously.
"Who's U2?" ...

I love this one - look at those eyes

Well, perhaps we should call him Edge-Beanieman? It's a bit long..

 

[SimplyConfused]

Edge and Michael Palin have similar eyes, yer know. Well, Palin when he was younger. You get a good close-up in the Polly/Lumberjack sketch of them. Heh heh. I love Monty Python.

Thanks for the photos. my daughter has them now pinned to her bedroom wall with a great big sign she painted "Beanieman".

I am now looking for a photo of Edge playing his red guitar, cos my daughter has a red toy guitar. I think he plays a red guitar on the vertigo, chicago dvd.

 

[phistolemon]

aww, that is so sweet ^_^ *ones to see that*

do you mean his red Gibson?

you can see him with this guitar when he plays Elevation, for example. I hope you talked about this one

 

[carof_77]

isn't he called "Reg" from time to time? Anyone know where that came from?

 

[Sting]

Its pathetic how I know what words he is singing... I have seen the live DVD's too many times...

I would call him... The Point!... or The Vertice!

 

[crystal4470]

thanks phistolemon.

thats the one.

Now she can play along with her "Beanieman".

 

[edibleflowers]

He is also called Reg. I'm not sure why... but he's even credited as Reg on a home video (I'll have to look through and remember which one).

 

[crystal4470]

ooh edgy reggie!!!!

 

[phistolemon]

I wondered about the Reg name as well I read it's a short form of a name (he doesn't even have lol).

 

[Edgespet]

According to the Flannigan Bible, "Reg" is the nickname that the guys gave to Edge. Sort of an inside joke kind of thing. I'm still looking for the exact quote.

 

[musicfreak]

Personally, I would re-name him to be "Dead Sexy"

How about "slightly off center".

"...Guggi remembers. "We used to try to find a word that sounded the way someone looked - Bono thought I looked like a 'guggi' and it´s stuck - and I thought Dave looked like the word "Inchicore", which is a little village on the west side of Dublin. It captured what was going on physically in his head. It sounds the way he is. Then it got abbreviated to "The Edge" and then "Edge". These days there are even a few people who call him "Reg"....from Word magazine / dec 2005

just say, there´s a coincidence, cause my nick is Reg

Is that Edge with Tom Morello? When was that?

 

[blueskye310]

I don't know what day that pic with Tom Morello was taken but Tom has been a huge U2 fan for some years....I saw him and Owen Wilson at 2 Los Angeles shows last year..
