SOE- 27: And SOE it Begins

[PRB216]

Bono definitely seems to have aged the most in the shortest amount of time (especially since the bike accident). Either that accident/recovery took an awful lot out of him or there's something else going on we aren't aware of. But looking at pictures of him from even just early 2014 he looks much more youthful and vibrant.

But the hair cut and shades certainly aren't helping anything.. It looked like a wig in that TMZ video at the pizzeria.

 

[trainmaniac]

If you look to their show with Fallon after the bike accident see a much younger Bono...

Maybe he's spent too much time watching Metallica and it just took it all out of him?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

His eyes look, I dunno, drowsy. That's where appearance of lost vibrancy comes from. The granny glasses don't help, especially the clear ones, as you can see how shit his eyes look (and yes, I know he has glaucoma, but glaucoma doesn't make tour eyes droopy).

It may be in relation to his bike accident; I know he fractured his orbital socket.

Which is what it's even more baffling that he's wearing these Elton John granny glasses that make his eyes even more visible. You'd think if he needed the glasses to keep the bright lights out of his face he'd go back to the wrap-arounds or at least the aviators.

And that rat on his head needs a bath.


Who's have thought that 40 years in Adam would be the one to age gracefully.

 

[Reggie Thee Dog]

Love all the hysteria about whether or not the album is coming out this year...

Um, they released a single "from the forthcoming album......

Well said.

He could surprise us in a year or so (maybe for the next tour) by making a few changes that would "turn back the clock" a bit. Like get better sunglasses, lose a few pounds, maybe dye his hair a little darker. Hopefully he reinvents his style for the better (instead of for the worse, as he's been doing). Of course, yeah, this is all superficial and unimportant... but he's a rock star, it's all artifice!

 

[Reggie Thee Dog]

Bono = Unhip, Irish Rock Star, but Northside you make good points

Can we talk about how U2 is slated to play some strange high school benefit thing tonight with MC Hammer? Cause U2 is slated to play some strange high school benefit thing tonight with MC Hammer.

No...because.....wait for it...





















Can't touch this...

 

[PRB216]

It's more than just the hair.. He looks really weathered in <3 years time.

Just look at their Graham Norton interview right before the accident (Oct. 2014):


Compared to last night's interview (Sept. 2017):


But I do think a few more pounds lost, a better hair style and glasses would help 'turn the clock back' a good bit.

In all fairness, the older you get, the harder it is to keep up with it, even without major accidents/surgeries. For a dude in his mid-50s, I'm not surprised to see him looking older over the span of 3 years.

Thank you....

 

[Gonna Run 2 U]

Grandma Bono '17

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Yea I'd rather see Bono looking like the angry bar keep at Flannery's than look like his face was molded in cheap plaster... like, oh I dunno, a certain drummer.

 

[prbiker15]

He needs a haircut. He's starting to veer towards Mulletdom.

Agreed.

 

[corianderstem]

Bless his heart.

 

[victor_f]

HATED the wrap around ones. I prefer him in aviators, but I don't mind the circle ones.

For me it seems that the lens of the glasses that he is using lately have prescription on then. I think big glasses doesn’t work with prescription lenses.

 

[Pop Artist]

Could be, especially if he is reading teleprompters and stuff, like 90% of people do at his age (including myself!). And smaller and rounder do work better then, wrap arounds definitely don't work.

 

[BVS]

I can almost guarantee you they're prescription, but they're just a bad shape. It's an unflattering shape for about 90% of the population.

But Bono's one of the most fashion backward men in his field. Always has been, yes even in the ZooTV days.

Shut your whore mouth

Is he growing the hair out to incorporate Zoo TV Bono with SOE tour?

 

[cseggleton]

Maybe we get Zoo/Pop mixed in on next tour. Now that would be ....drum roll...the best thing!

During the JF interview, Bono said that they will be playing some of the songs from SOE on the current tour. I am not going to listen to them, or at least will try my best not to. We already have had three songs, I want to be surprised by the other nine when the album is released. Don't think I will enjoy the album as much if I have already listened to half the album before its release. Anyone else feel this way?

The only songs they'd play would be the 3 they've released thus far.

I'll be shocked if we get anything beyond these three. You have to remember bands don't do these interviews with the assumptions that the audience knows what's going on. Fallon's audience is not a bunch of setlist bitchers. So when Bono says that, some songs probably = Little Things and Best Thing.
