Most of it was things already known (the lemon not opening, ordering pizzas, Adam missing out a show, Macphisto's phone calls, Greg Carrol and One tree hill connection, Stuck meaning, Bono meeting the Pope etc...), but there were a few I haven't seen yet :
About the Live aid - it mentions Bono dancing with a fan, and than apparently he drove away on his motorbike for a few days, because he thought it was a mistake. "I questioned the point of rock'n'roll when there are millions dying," he said.
The following four were my favorites
In 1980, the record label CBS payed them a studio for a day to record eight demo songs. They only did three, because Larry's father came to pick him up, as he had to go to bed.
In 1979, Edge's parents gave him an ultimatum: make it to the top in music business in a year, or go to college.
When U2's career started, Adam's mother had a serious talk with Paul McGuiness as she wasn't sure her son had any talent for a musical career.
Bono is a fan of the band Oasis and everytime he sees their show, he gives them a present appropriate fo their name - a cactus!
Bono on other members:
Adam: "Adam is the most well-mannered member of U2. A man whose bass guitar has mysterous power over women and the only member cool enough who could afford a yacht for all of us to spend a vacation there."
Edge: "The Edge doesn't know all the chords he plays. He makes them up as he goes along. Those chords don't have names. Bob Dylan once said to me: Your songs will live forever, but no one will know how to play them."
Larry: "Larry is the core of U2. He never does interviews. He just lives his life as he'd always done. He's not into fame, because his long time friends from Dublin are still most important to him."
