    Plenty of good food on Bono's plate

    HE might be a rock superstar, but U2 front man Bono could easily turn his hand to being a restaurant critic.

    Bono has been Sir Lunch-a-lot since arriving in Sydney at the weekend, chowing down at some of the Harbour City's best known dining establishments. Yesterday, the singer and a mate enjoyed a relaxing afternoon bite to eat at The Pier restaurant in Rose Bay. The casually dressed star - sporting his trademark specs and khaki cap - acknowledged a group of diehard fans who waited out the front of the restaurant to shake hands with the Irish rocker as he departed.

    On Sunday, Bono and guitarist The Edge lunched at Rose Bay nosherie Catalina, while on Saturday night he had a late dinner at Icebergs Dining Room and Bar in Bondi. U2 is Down Under for its 360 Degrees tour, which begins in Melbourne at Etihad Stadium tomorrow night.

    Before they get down to the business of rock and roll, Bono will today flick the switch in Sydney to turn the Opera House and part of the Harbour Bridge red to celebrate World AIDS Day, which is tomorrow.

    Bono sneaks into town for a feed

    KING of the disappearing act, U2 frontman Bono, secretly slipped into Sydney on Saturday - as he has done many times before - and wasted no time heading out to some of his favourite watering holes. The renowned Irish rock institution, who spent two weeks at Bungan Beach with his family in 2006 completely undetected, casually strolled into Rose Bay nosherie Catalina yesterday for a seafood feed with guitarist The Edge (aka David Evans) and the eatery's owner, Michael McMahon.

    Earlier in the day he had met with Foreign Minister Kevin Rudd to discuss poverty and aid. On Saturday night, the sunnies-obsessed singer arrived unannounced at Icebergs Dining Room. And, like all diners, he had to wait for a table at the "no bookings" restaurant.

    "Bono was having a red cocktail but didn't get to finish it because a table then became available," said an onlooker.Bono has been travelling with an entourage of five, including a burly Irish security guy. While he will turn the Opera House and Harbour Bridge red tomorrow, the U2 360 tour actually will kick off in Melbourne on Wednesday night.
  4. I always wonder if U2 is devided in to two sides at the one side: Bono and Edge and on the other side Larry and Adam. You always hear/see Bono and The Edge togheter without Larry and Adam....

    I feel like Larry's the family man who isn't interested in being in public, and Adam is a very low key figure as well. Adam/Larry just doesn't garner the publicity that Edge and Bono do, either.
  6. Yep I agree if you ever see Adam in Dublin he will stop chat sign an autogrpaph and just go about his life like a normal Dubliner, as for larry he would rather be with his family or spending tme out on his fishing boat.

    Thats true, but I meant that at diners like in the article which was posted here, it says only Bono and Edge went to diner. I wonder were are Adam and Larry then and why can they go with the whole band.

    I also remember some pictures after the Istanbul gigs were only Edge and Bono (maybe Im remebering it wrong) were together with their wifes and Larry and Adam werent there.
  8. Well you dont have to spend every second together as a band. Maybe thats why they are holding up so long
  9. I don't think it's any stretch saying Bono and Edge's relationship is stronger than say the relationship between Bono and Adam, or Bono and Larry, or Edge and Adam and Edge and Larry. The two of them work on things together (spiderman), when reading things it seems like they always have the ideas of where things should go in terms of the band direction (but maybe that's just me). That being said, I do think they allow themselves to be viewed more frequently in the public eye than Adam and Larry do. Like Chris said, they're probably together so much on planes, soundchecks, writing processes, studio, that when on tour they like being apart when they can, and Adam and Larry I think just like being away from the public eye.
  10. Moreover, Larry and Adam are closer in the pure musical terms, they're the rhythmical basis of the band while Edge and Bono add melodies and lyrics. Hence their "separation", also in the real life. But I don't see Adam and Larry being as close as Edge and Bono are.
  12. For anyone in Melbourne looking to snag an autograph or picture, the guys are reportedly staying in the private villas up the top of Crown Towers.
