U2 TO PERFORM AT ROXY FOR KROQ - MAY 28
Bono announced on KROQ's Kevin & Bean Show this morning that U2 will do a private show for lucky KROQ listeners on May 28 at the Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles. According to KROQ's website, you need to "listen every-hour, on-the-hour, 9am-9pm this week for your chance to win tickets. Be caller 20 at 800-520-1067 when you hear the cue and win instant access to this exclusive show! You also can listen to The Kevin & Bean Show and the Furious 5 @ 9 daily for more chance to win."
KROQ is also offering a chance to win tickets through a trivia contest, but you need to get a perfect score to qualify.
Bono also shared that his favorite number is 22, that they call the end of the stage the "e" stage (not the B stage) and that perhaps his facial hair in the busking skit on The Tonight Show might have been "a little too correct." We'll link to the podcast with the full interview once it's available.
Cool. Also very import to know that 22 is Bono's favorite number
Noel Gallagher claims that Bono can drink more than Morrissey
Former Oasis guitarist says the U2 singer will be 'on the bar singing opera' at 6am
Noel Gallagher has discussed the drinking abilities of Bono and Morrissey in an interview, claiming that the U2 frontman can handle his alcohol better than the former Smiths singer.
Having been quizzed by Noisey on who between the pair and Bobby Gillespie could drink the most, the ex-Oasis man replied, "Bono, hands down. Bobby don’t drink [He gave up alcohol in 2008]. Morrissey is good crack."
Gallagher added, "[Morrissey] can drink... [he] doesn’t really get drunk though - he remains equally as vicious from the fucking minute you meet him until seven hours later. I lighten up once I’ve had a drink. Not Morrissey.
"But Bono, he is really fucking brilliant company. I’ve been drinking with him, and I’ve been leaving a bar at 6 in the morning and he’s on the bar singing opera. And he’s got a fucking gig the following night with 70,000 people. And I’m being escorted out like James Brown - fucking pissed."
