3rd , springsteen counts as a solo artist.

Really? :eyebrow: It's him and the E Street Band - the article called him the hottest ticket, meaning live show, and the live shows are always specifically Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band even though the albums are just Bruce Springsteen.

(he's my second favorite behind U2, I know a bit :wink:)

- The famous strip down interview.

I thought that was in 1987 during a Joshua Tree Tour interview with Dave Fanning. At least, that's what it said in the U2 Live: A Concert Documentary book.

The naked interview was on Dave Fanning's show in 1987.

There was a radio interview done in the studio with all four guys and they then stripped down to their boxers! That I think was in 87.
 
The 1992 strip down interview is this:

12. Did Bono really take off his clothes in the middle of a crowded restaurant?

This is true. From Newsday March 27, 1992: At a dinner earlier this week at London's celebrity haunt, Nikita, Bono surprised his 18 dinner guests by removing all his clothes - including his black bikini briefs - for no apparent reason. During the Russian meal of mainly vodka and caviar, we're told the Irish rocker sat naked and acted as if being nude in a plush, crowded restaurant was the most natural thing in the world. Which, in some quarters, we suppose it is. "Sometimes people drink vodka and do strange things," Nikita owner Sylvain Borsi told us. But didn't he find Bono's behavior a bit eccentric, to say the least? "No, he was very nice and very civilized," Borsi said. "I think he just felt more comfortable with nothing on." But he had a really good reason! From Newsday March 30, 1992 : His spokesman says Bono was actually being interviewed by a journalist during dinner when the Irish rocker decided to undress, as we reported. "The writer was so unimaginative, so frozen, so unloose that Bono thought it would be a good idea to take his clothes off," the spokesman said. "And there wasn't much of a reaction." [MJS]

Update! In a Hot Press interview with Dave Fanning dated 02 Apr 2003 (you can read it on Hotpress.com if you're registered):
OT: Tell me about the famous nude interview?
DF: We were all nude except for underpants. I think only Adam was completely naked. The head of radio came in because at that time they were quite big and he looked in and he was stunned. There in his own radio station are five people drinking live on air naked. It was a bit of a sight for him, I can tell you (laughs).
