  1. Bono always wears dumb hats

  2. When I first read your comment I quickly tried to think of a defense for Bono...couldn't really think of one.
  3. There isn't one. He just wears fucking dumb hats.
  4. Every time i see a photo of Bono not wearing his trademark shitty, footballer's wife/rich woman sunglasses it gives me a small glimmer of hope that he might just still possess a tiny bit of coolness...

    Adam still has it though.
  5. I think we would've seen it by now, and I know many around here have disagreed with me on this, but I think if U2 really want the next Achtung Baby the first thing that needs to go is Bono's persona, once again. Just like in the 80's going into the 90's, Bono's stage-persona needs to change, including his look.

    Not saying that's what I'm hoping for, but it'd be awesome nonetheless.


  6. Are you sure these pics are current Bono's hair looks blonde?
    In the Aslan video they all look good and fine to me.
    I just want to hear the first release now.
  8. That four-tile shot would make a great album cover. Call it 'The Electric Sessions'.
  9. Or Pop v2.0
  10. Could he still pull off The Fly? Probably not Mr macphisto though, he'd look like Mrs Doubtfire.
  11. He doesn't need a new persona. He's too old. All he needs to do is get a minimalist stage, go tour arenas, stand up there and sing and interact and play guitar. Play 25 songs a night a rotate the songs in the set. And that would be a significant enough reinvention for the modern day U2.

    as much as I'd hate to not see the comeback of MacPhisto or The Fly, you're right. Go out there and do what Springsteen has done to his sets and play a variety of different songs per night, without all the fancy stage set ups. That would probably be what would make me (and maybe even the most of us) the happiest (see "The Setlist through a Tour" thread)
