February 27, 200917 yr EVERYBODY! (ADHD, sorry) No Line on the Horizon came out here today and in the part of the booklet where they thank people, they mention Jay Z, Michael Stipe and....[drumroll]... CHRIS MARTIN which makes Bono's comments really weird. I mean its not remotely funny. And the BBC really doesn't want any more "bad behaviour" now does it?:dozey: oh dude! sorry, i didn't see this before. yes, now i'm 200% convinced bono meant it in an endearing way. you don't generally go out and call someone a w***** that you hang out with, make music with, invite to your christmas party, sing bits of their songs in concert, and thank in your liner notes. i'm not concerned :P
February 27, 200917 yr As a long time U2 fan (more than 20 years) I can tell you that Bono has a warped sense of humor and that what he said was nothing more than his weird, wicked way of complimenting Chris...I think someone said it a few posts above mine when they said it was his way of being cheeky about his worry that Coldplay is catching up on U2's success. As for U2.com, I'm sure they are all slamming Coldplay right about now as they often do on there. I have often been attacked for being a Coldplay fan...I just tell people to chill out and stop being so damn paranoid over Coldplay stealing U2's spotlight. Anyway, I can totally understand why some people would be put off by his remarks...I love Bono, but he is a bit of an a$$.
February 27, 200917 yr Chelsea you can listen to it here (you have to confirm you're over 16 to listen :lol:) http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/jowhiley/ Listen from 1 hour 47 :)

February 27, 200917 yr Viva is Unforgettable Fire! Chris admitted that. LP5 = Joshua Tree. And will be awesome. Methinks that's why they kept Famous Old Painters! Hey, a man can dream. It was such a hyped song, it has to be released :laugh3::laugh3::laugh3: If LP5 is as good as the Joshua Tree I tattoo myself with the album cover.

February 27, 200917 yr OMG, media and people :lol:. that was SO sarcastic! he meant it in a nice, jokey way! :laugh4: everyone needs to listen to the interview in context and cool their jets. i find it strange that radio hosts invite celebrities to apologize for something, however :thinking:
February 27, 200917 yr :laugh3::laugh3::laugh3: If LP5 is as good as the Joshua Tree I tattoo myself with the album cover. i am SO holding you to this.
February 27, 200917 yr Lets not forget he's a firey little Irish man :P "firey" is that what they are calling drunk little Irish men now days. :P :laugh3::laugh3::laugh3: If LP5 is as good as the Joshua Tree I tattoo myself with the album cover. *bookmarks Brigs post and will personally make sure he gets it when the LP comes out is is as good* :evil:

Especially after the whole Jonathan Ross thing, they've got to be soooo careful .
February 27, 200917 yr Sounds like Bono's finally lost it for good. Poor show indeed.:angry: He should henceforth be referred to as "Gone-o".:rolleyes:
February 27, 200917 yr What baffles me more is that Bono is now trying to jump on the Chris and his Friends' bandwagon - thanking people like Jay-Z and Stipe? I personally can't hear their input - but hey, it worked for Coldplay!
February 27, 200917 yr ^And if Gone-o carries on like this, he won't be friends with anyone.................. :rolleyes:
February 27, 200917 yr Rivalry: Bono labelled Chris a 'w**ker' live on Radio 1 You mean W**ker is a bad word? :laugh3: Bono is looking a bit well worn these days :rolleyes:
February 27, 200917 yr Yes...I had this conversation about what a wanker actually was with Mel, Lori and Angie whilst we were hiding from over zealous venue security in Florida :lol: It's something like this :whatever: :D
February 27, 200917 yr Rivalry: Bono labelled Chris a 'w**ker' live on Radio 1 You mean W**ker is a bad word? :laugh3: Bono is looking a bit well worn these days :rolleyes: Or maybe even worn out................................ :rolleyes:
