I never have understood why the hell these jackasses at concerts throw stuff at the band and/or the lead singers.
Bono laughed off a projectile of toilet paper and got a whole beer or huge cup of water tossed on him by a fan while out on the heart at Slane and if you watch the Boston DVD close enough during SBS you can see him move his head just in time to dodge a huge chunk of what appears to be ice that flew right by his face.
I've seen beer bottles, shoes, cups, panties, and all sorts of crap thrown up on stage and at the band members (usually lead singer).
The only exception to this would be a beach ball, cause' they're always at big events and they are generally harmless. Granted, popping Bono in the head with a beach ball during an emotional song like Streets or Kite would not be cool, but it did make a fun moment on the Slane DVD. "Oh look Edge, a beach ball"
To me, this is the biggest insult anyone who calls themselves a fan could do to a band. These people should be ejected from the concert and banned for life.
Post your thoughts about it.
Also, if you happen to be one of these jackasses and have thrown projectiles at Bono or other famous musicians, don't be shy. Tell us why you do it, maybe we'll understand-no promises, you may get flamed.
