U2 Quiz

[oliveu2cm]

I recently watched the Streets Pop-up Video which had a Quiz on it, and there was one surprise question (I cant remember the others) and so I looked up online some U2 quiz stuff. There wasn't much I didn't know but the ones that stumped me are as follows:

1) "Which band member as a child put his head through a window in order to get attention?"
Bono
Larry
Edge
Adam

(the rest are curteousy http://www.mindspring.com/~twhite21/trivia/U2trivarchive.html)

2) Which member of U2 had a girlfriend leave him for a milkman?
Bono
Larry
Edge
Adam

3) Which member of U2 at one time threw a drum kit at Larry?
Bono
Adam
Edge

4) Which member of U2 has a dog named Angel?
Bono
Adam
Larry
Edge

5) What was one of the main reasons U2 recorded Pop in Miami?
a.Wanted to go to Jamaica but couldn't because of lack of recording facilities
b.wanted to go to Cuba but couldn't because of US's fear of not being able to get them out of Cuba
c.Wanted colorful inspiration for Pop d. Cheap studios
e. Wanted an atmosphere where they wouldn't be as noticed

I'll post the answers after everyone's had a shot at them.

I have NO idea whatsoever about the too first questions, but question nr. 1 sounds like something Bono would do haha.
nr 2.. hm, maybe...Adam..?
nr. 3 : Bono
nr.4 I think this one is Bono too.
nr 5: E

 

[bonorattle]

some of these i know....others are fuzzy...
something tells me most of these are Bono though.

1. Bono
2. Bono
3. Bono
4. Bono
5. B

 

[mrsmullen]

all i know is that number one is larry because i cracked up laughing so hard when i saw that...he did it to get attention, lol. seems very un-larry but he did it when he was 4.

It doesn't matter what songs we sing. I'm a drummer. Chicks dig me. - Larry

 

[MEMHPIS-EVE 007]

I`m not realy sure about the rest but the last one is B. I saw it on some program about the pop mart along time ago.The hostes said that that`s infact the reason... or was it Bono? Or Larry?
Don`t remember...but I`m sure it`s true

Also Three is Defenatelly Bono. It was on the David Letterman show I think.
As for the milkman...
Alison with " the milkman"???? I think not!

Umm.... I know Bono threw a kit at Larry, because that's when Edge punched him in the face, and I know he has two dogs named Fanny and Angel, but the rest....
I haven't a clue.

That was on-stage... in front of The Talking Heads and the B-52s. I think they all thought it was part of the show."

Neat, huh? Apparently, Larry, Bono, and Edge then all ran backstage and Adam was left on-stage, holding his bass, wondering what to do while the audience stared at him.
Poor guy!

Thanks for the story, Sunrazor! I can't imagine Edge punching anyone- freaky! I wonder why they were so mad...

 

[Sunrazor]

I think I heard somewhere that Larry screwed up the beginning of something and Bono was REALLY mad. Maybe he'd been having a bad night. I dunno. You'd have to ask him.

The only question I'm pretty sure of the answer is the last one and the answer is B, they wanted to go to Cuba but would most likely end up in some trouble entering America again.

To get attention... Bono...
Girlfriend leaving...no clue..
Threwing drumkit...got the answer..
Dog named Angel... Larry, I think I've heard somewhere...

Funny thread, more quizes...

Okay.... Here is the story, told by Bono himself, as it appears in Bono: In His Own Words.

"There was a gig in America once where I threw Larry's drum kit off stage and had a go at the band. And The Edge, who is my ideal - he's completely composed - he was so outraged he gave me severe dig in the mouth. It was amazing. I've known him all my life and it was a really good dig in the mouth.

lol no problem! I meant to indicate that most were about Bono, although Larry did indeed put his head through a window! I think I can see little Lawrence doing that as a kid- he didn't seem to take orders too well back then either ;-)
