Well.. people seem to be divided on this.

If he is miming, I apologize for being ignorant about the matter. I hadn't known Bono had perhaps been miming for years. I mean it's obvious that some or all of their live songs since Zooropa anyway have had a karaoke element to a lesser or lgreater extent (e.g. Lemon in the Zooropa gigs). It's just disappointing to learn that Bono is maybe miming on certain songs. I'm sure the average U2 concert goer would not be aware of this.

funny, reading back on the thread, the general consensus seems to be he isn't miming. :eyebrow:

This makes it seem to me that either

you're very naive and blind/not too bright....

or you're deliberately playing stupid trying to stir up shit. :rolleyes:

I'm leaning towards option no. 2.
 
I'm not trying to "stir up shit". And what does that mean? Do you think I would get some sort of kick from doing this?

Thus, by your logic, I am "very naive and blind/not too bright...."

You remind me of someone. :hmm:

That poster no matter how obvious it was that no one agreed with them, they still acted like "people seem to be divided on this".

You are tone deaf if you think this song is "mimed". I mean you could have at least picked a song that was somewhat closer to the album version if you wanted at least one person to agree with you, but Bono's changed the delivery of the verses if you don't recognise that then :shrug: well I'm sorry.

You're just baseless trolling...
 
Does anyone know why Larry doesnt play the drums for the intro of WOWY ?
 
I think the OP has stumbled upon the "great secret"...U2 retired in 1984 and have had 5 (included PM of course) miticulously created clones performing/talking for them ever since. Sometimes the technology fucks up....what can you do?

Because he's lazy. He doesn't even TRY to mime there! Only halfway the song he realises people are looking at him and he does some half ass attempt to play the drums.:tsk:



And about the not knowing what stirring up shit means? I'm laughing. I'm laughing hard. Thanks for a good laugh troll.
 
It's not really Bono up there. It's a look alike. See, after the incident with the hat being escorted on the plane in the elevation era he needed to hide out after so many death threats against him.
 
Bono trapped in a box:

No you're not too bright. Don't try to post under another name and think noone will know who you are. I know who this is and you are really annoying with these posts.
 
I would say its because he has only 1 pair of hands and cannot play several drum parts at the same time. I love it when he does finally come in though. It helps the song build in intensity that way :drool:

But he doesnt play anything, he just sits there.
 
Miming my arse. I was there and I definetly saw his lips move. Although I'm sure when he was taking that drink and the ohh ohh ohhhs were still playing I had my doubts!:applaud:
