MERGED-->All U2 on SNL Discussion 2c

[elfyx]

yeah bono's voice was pretty straight

 

[nurse chrissi]

Bono just came on to Adam - excellent
so much for that reported rift

 

[RobVox]

Screen shots anyone?

[Shade]

I thought Bono sounded good. But was anyone else surprised that the hottest-looking one of the bunch was...ADAM?!

And also...did Bono grab Adam's ass or did it just look that way? NOT that I'd have blamed him. Mrrrowwww.

Adam has embraced the gray hair. Good Adam. Make all us prematurely gray fans proud.

 

[sindaddy]

Was Bono's microphone wireless last time? Maybe they gave him a leash this time. He seemed trapped in the small stage.

I noticed that too!
Lucky, lucky Bono!!!!!
Seriously, Bono looked like he was trying a little too hard. Maybe the show's general suckiness got to him, too.

 

[BVS]

Est. 1979!

 

[gorman]

Haha, Bono felt up Adam.

Bono sounded just fine, but he was WAY too low in the mix. His voice was not the problem. They better fix that before the next song.

 

[RobVox]

yeah last time he was wireless....


RobVox

 

[Queen Bee]

I'll be able to post screen caps but it won't be until 2 hours from how when the show airs here on my end.

 

[Axver]

Damn, that was awesome! Really rocked! Woo. I feel exhilarated now.

 

[ZigZag]

Did you want him to jump into the crowd? This isn't exactly Live Aid here...

And why exactly did Bono have a seizure towards the end?

 

[gorman]

By the way, I recorded the Vertigo performance in AIFF, and will convert it to FLAC and MP3 after the show is over. I'll do the same for whatever is next

 

[U2_Neat]

so the next song is in like.... half an hour???

 

[elfyx]

yeah you know what the hell was up with the sound production? man, it was pretty terrible? you could tell that the boys knew something was off, but they went ahead anyway cause the show must go on.

 

[JOFO]

Adam has embraced the gray hair. Good Adam. Make all us prematurely gray fans proud.

 

[RobVox]

Gorman for President.

[shari schultz]

And why exactly did Bono have a seizure towards the end?

Reminded me of David Byrne from the Talking Heads

 

[Shade]

Embrace your gray, JOFO! Embrace it!

 

[RobVox]

Hanz and Franz was better!


RobVox

 

[mofo82]

i liked the live performance from the CDUK night club thing from a few weeks back ALOT more. much better stage presence then- they werent as fidgety. edge was goin nutz tonight looked strange...oh well

 

[pepokiss]

Great performance, but I still like the Radio one one one one one one... one



Live live live live....

 

[Danny Boy]

Give me a second. It's encoding.

 

[JOFO]

Embrace your gray, JOFO! Embrace it!

many good animals have died for hair coloring.

 

[ladywithspinninghead]

I thought it was great - Bono's voice was fab, his shaking at the end was fab, his jacket was fab, etc, etc!!

 

[ZigZag]

Reminded me of David Byrne from the Talking Heads

This is not my beautiful stage! This is not my beautiful Africa!

 

[mikal]

probably 20 minutes.

makes me wonder if U2 is playing 2 more songs, because they really crammed in a lot of skits in that first half hour, usually the band comes on after 2 skits, where SNL had 4 before the band came on.

 

[pepokiss]

You'd think he's a man from the future...

 

[macphisto07]

"Live, live, live!" I think Bono was letting us know we weren't in for another Ashlee Simpson.

 

[If you shout...]

That opening guitar lick, before the song...when Bono was rambling about the show's liveness....was that not the VERY opening guitar salvo from "Won't Get Fooled Again" by The Who? Back me up on this...it was almost the opening to that song, was it not?
