Zooropa Grammy acceptance speech?

[Zoots]

Does anybody here have a video file or link to Bono's Grammy award acceptance speech for Zooropa from 1994 I think... for best alternative album? Isn't that the "we will continue to fuck the mainstream" speech? I haven't seen it in ages! It would be sweet if somebody had a link or something. Couldn't find it on youtube, strangely enough.

Found it!!! Well, at least some of it.

Read the account on that page and click on the video link!

Too bad, the video is not of great quality and doesn't expand to full screen size. Bono's bit is at about the halfway mark so be patient.

omg omg omg omg I have been waiting YEARS to see that

Thank you Zoots for starting the thread, and CPTLCTY for uploading it to YouTube, and GG for suggesting that somebody reupload it, 'cause Realplayers never work for me!

And I hate to go all PLEBAn here, but 1994 was a good year, and f-bombs are sexy

Billy Joel's facial expression was priceless, and even more so once he realized that he was on camera!

 

[The Sad Punk]

I wonder what would have happened if Bono had just one more last drink before doing the acceptance speech.

[Aardvark747]

God, Bono looked so cool back then!

 

[kingofsorrow]

yep. i'd hit it.

 

[bonocomet]

Where were the rest of U2?

 

[kingofsorrow]

[bonocomet]

drunker than Bono?

He did look real good.

I like how he said he didn't want the winning envelope, wonder who got it?

 

[kingofsorrow]

u2 were so "arrogant" back then, i absolutely loved it.
