nay.
Srsly. I can't even vote in this poll because there's no "This is a stupid idea." option. Yes it would be a nightmare for U2 security, but that's not why it's a bad idea.major_panic said:

If there are hydraulics and Bono uses them...it means he has so tapped into the diamondbrunoconscsioussyndrome.
then all u will be lining up to kiss my ring finger.
of course, at that time i may find myself to be too busy for most of u, chatting up eno or someone else on me cell ph.
Because it's completely ridiculous.diamond said:And it's a stupid idea because?

I just find it far too literal. Bono walking on scaffolding above the audience singing "I'm not coming down" and pretending to stumble when he sings "You're taking steps that make you feel dizzy"... I find that ridiculous. The song is not about any sort of physical positions or actions. It's spiritual, it's emotional. It's about what's going on on the inside. To act it out physically in such a cheesy way would cheapen the song tremendously.

luna_lovegood said:Question, while we're on the topic of Gone live; at the beginning of Gone on the elevation Boston DVD, does Bono yell out "Hutch, Hear Me!" ... as in Michael Hutchence? Or am I hearing things?
Well, as for COBL... yes, his antics there are a little bit silly, but COBL is also a very upbeat song, and I find it kind of okay there. And An Cat Dubh... is horrible. I can't even watch that part of the Chicago DVD anymore. It's embarrassing. But I don't even know what the fuck he does in Pride. I am so sick of that song, that I pretty much ignore it. As for UTEOTW... I kind of like what he did there, what with molesting the camera and fighting/kissing Edge. It was kind of hot.diamond said:The ideas suggested were not to be followed literally by script.
Bono is theactrical. He loves the moment, living in that moment and creating theactrical moments-this is his very nature.
Look at him singing COBL, An Cat Dubh, Pride, UTEOTW and his antics on stage-these songs aren't all wrtten to be performed exactly literal.
Now you may find those antics cheesy as well; that's your preogative.
Yes. It's up to the band, not you. But maybe next time you see Bono, you can suggest it to him. While you're at it, suggest he watch Battlestar Galactica so that he can gain political insightfulness from it to use on the next album.diamond said:Musical purists may claim to understand the meaning of U2 songs; but the artist who writes and performs them has the final say how they may want to present their work.
All I offered was a different way for the artist to present one piece of his work. You and I disagree apparently, but I do understand your point, maybe Gone isn't the very best song-but it kinda works for me.
I prefer clarity to agreement however.
