Remember when U2 were Irish?

[Jeannieco]

Start off in Ireland, end up in America. It's the Irish way.

just like my family.

 

[Zoots]

That's it, folk!
Why do you think that Bono wears sunglasses all the time?
Michael Jackson wore a mask to hide his whiteness, Bono uses sunglasses to hide his blackness.
And Bono made an operation to his throat too, so his voice could be harsher and sound like blues singers from the 1920's.

We have a winner!

 

[LyricalDrug]

Yep, they've been "American" ever since Rattle and Hum.

I think the love affair really started with Unforgettable Fire, and Joshua Tree is their most American album.

 

[Aygo]

We have a winner!

 

[U2lunatic]

When I was 10 years old I thought they were Scottish group so now, maybe it's true
yeah, but Scottish don't drink Guiness, shit, I'm wrong

Now it all suddenly makes sense!

I wonder when Bono will team up with 50 Cent?

 

[Utoo]

Nah, he'll do backup vocals for a Nelly Furtado video. .....which I won't mind, as long as Nelly Furtado wears the same jeans she wore on Saturday Night Live this season....

 

[AtomicBono]

WAT?? U2 IZ MAYKIN A HIPPITY HOPZ ABLUM?!?!11/1

 

[sue4u2]

Well it's been a while since they were Irish, 15 mins or so, but I remember it fondly

 

[Aygo]

Now it all suddenly makes sense!

It won't be far...
He has Alicia Keys and Mary J Blige, 50 Cent and Pharell Williams won't take much longer... Or maybe BEP too...

But I don't know...
I think that Bono could perfectly be Italian too. Well, his father "was italian" (in his mind), Bono looks like a mafia-leader with his posture, his poses and whatever.

 

[silvrlvr]

Nope, it will be U2 with John Legend first. He's the black Sinatra. (I heard that tonight on E! Fashion Police so it must be true.)

 

[corianderstem]

I'd pay money to hear a Bono/John Legend duet.

 

[martha]

That would sound pretty good.

 

[FullonEdge2]

LOL I can't believe you all! Check any history of U2 and it will tell you that U2 were formed in Dublin, IRELAND. Thus, they are an Irish band. I can't believe you consider yourselves real fans. Does the Mt. Temple school ring any bells??? That school just so happens to be in DUBLIN. They may not act like they're Irish all the time, but U2 is in fact an IRISH band. I had to convince my parents that they were Irish too, but I thought interferencers would be a more knowledgeable bunch. I thought wrong.

 

[kingofsorrow]

micheal jackson did not go from black to white. he went from black to invisible.

You're kidding, right? You really think no one here doesn't know they're Irish?

indeed.

I love it when people don't get the joke and proceed to fly off the handle.

Ireland doesn't exist. It's just a myth made up by the New World Order and the Illuminati.

Morrissey said that The Smiths were more Irish than u2 because 7 out of their 8 parents were Irish, whereas with U2 only four of them were Irish.

 

[An Cat Gav]

Dear oh dear, sorry about the typos there "mirroorball mam"

 

[U2girl]

Bono invented Ireland, with the powers of his shades.

 

[Alisaura]

I don't believe in countries with no snakes. As if!

A tear has formed in my eye from too much chuckling! That is priceless. Can I have my spade back if you have finished digging your hole to crawl into.


On a serious note they are surely an anglo irish band with 50% being Irish and 50% being English. Not that it matters of course because they are just fucking brilliant!
