[cerveza]

heinekin?? they could do so much better than that. come on boys, yer Irish!

 

[redhotswami]

Sounds like what I had last friday night

But really, Jack??? Come on, they should know better. Jameson is KING!

 

[Cleasai]

Hey, sometimes ya just feel like having a cheap beer.

As for the rest of the demands, I wonder how much actually gets consumed in a night?

 

[Devlin]

They may be ordering for staff, too.
I don't think the four of them can drink that much and still stand.

 

[Galeongirl]

It was, actually for the whole crew AND the afterparty aswell...

 

[2morrow]

I wonder what kind of food they have?

Adam showcased his cappucino machine (he doesn't drink alcohol anymore) under the stage on 60 Minutes...I suspect that's where the Adam Clayton Cool Club meetings are held. Everyone gathers around it to discuss all things pertaining to Radiohead, fret action, and the latest underground fashion trends of Tokyo.

 

[Bono Mot]

Bless their hearts, they had Guinness! (My dog's name.)

 

[coemgen]

I wonder what kind of food they have?

They didn't eat back then. They just drank.

 

[2morrow]

^

I wonder what kinds of vegetarian stuff Larry eats.

 

[zoobeatle]

Bottled beer? U2 sort it out, its cheaper to get cans.lol

[Canadiens1131]

I hear there's a cool vid of George Bush singing Sunday Bloody Sunday going around as well.

 

[Liesje]

When I was waiting for the band at the loading dock in Chicago, a huge truck came and it said something like "So-and-so's Fine Irish Cheeses" on the side. There was also a truck for some brand of alcoholic beverage, don't remember which. The cheese truck made me SO jealous/hungry.

 

[scottyT]

jack is for real rock stars, i'm glad they're keeping to that.

 

[Galeongirl]

NO?????




so the boys like cheese eh? sounds like Bono would be a great dinner partner for me da... he always eats various (French) cheese things after dinner with a glass of wine...

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

That's been up on Smoking Gun like forever. I'd love to see the Vertigo Tour rider and find out what they request now...

pretty much more of the same

 

[Butterscotch]

I heard "Beautiful Day" being played at a Dem victory rally, assuming with u2's permission?

 

[Jeannieco]

Ya, that was awesome! Love it! I have heard it played at the Dem. Nat. Convention also and during Kerry's campaign they also played it frequently.
I am soooo happy! It really is a beautiful day in America!! ( For me anyhow)

 

[Greenlight]

There was an interview with Liam Gallagher a while ago where he was shown lists of backstage demands from other bands. He was his usual mocking self but when he got to U2's he was quite impressed with it . I wonder if it was the same list.

 

[Utoo]

I hear there's a cool vid of George Bush singing Sunday Bloody Sunday going around as well.

Did you know that Ben Stiller did a mock version of One??

Or that U2 did a Godfather skit?

 

[doctorwho]

Sweet!

Now if there was only a thing called the "internet" where we could share this type of stuff...

Someday...
