in my opinion, gavin, the artist, is a tad too extreme for most of bono's mainstream fans to handle. gavin says things other people only think. he can say overtly sexual and/or provocative things and as an artist he generally tends to go over the top. bono does this on occasion, but often reins himself in. when he does go over the top, yes, he often does so with the same type of stage histrionics that gavin uses - strutting, cocky, etc.
i remember a quote from gavin where he once said that he (gavin) had to be over-the-top in order to grab people's attention, but bono was blessed as a performer and didn't have to really be too theatrical - bono from day one could just captivate an audience with his presence alone. as a result, bono can go and be straightforward, while gavin tends to screw with people's heads to get his point across.
