I think that after Mick had played around with "Mothers...", "I Still Haven't Found..." and "All I Want Is You", he decided what be an EXTREME of this? And he did UTEOTW. Cool as feck.
I recommended he start a ukelele U2 tribute band and call it U-2-kelele.

Me and my buddy Ian used to do all acoustic heart-felt covers of bad `80's hair metal (Motley Crue, Cinderella, Warrant, Poison, Slaughter, Winger, you name it), under the name ROCK THE MULLET - complete with mullet wigs. Did it just to take the piss and have fun.
What can I say... serious about my guitars and U2 but I certainly have a sense of humour.

Sounds rather legendary to me lol. I'd want to do something similar given the chance - only thing is, I already have the stupid haircut so I'm one up on you

A boy from the UK sporting Canadian Hockey Hair? A regulation Kentucky Waterfall? Or just going for that "Vintage Bono" look? Mighty brave of you. Mighty brave. Bono would be proud.
(Just messing with you)
Originally posted by anstratdubh1979Yeah, ROCK THE MULLET was a bit 'legendary'. We'd play the stuff like we truly meant it... full on back to back swaying and strumming and singing and heartfelt... but yeah, we were taking the piss.
Funny thing is one dude came up and said, "that almost brought tears to my eyes". I said: "From laughter?" He said: "That last song just meant so much to me". This coming from a 45 year old dude. What song meant so much? "17" by Winger! I recommended a probation officer that he will assuredly need for the "jailbait" charge he will incur, if "17" means THAT much to him.
So where is that guy now? I dunno... probably on a sex offender list.

Hey Nate. Yep, true story. The guy was literally misty eyed. I didn't know whether to laugh, hand him a tissue or call security.

Well, I didn't want to 'offend' him... after all... he did buy Ian and I a pint!

Now that is some serious hair! It's like a photo negative of Adam's October era curls. Can you stand there all cool with a bass guitar?
lol. Electric, kinda, but not bass. I'm more built like a rugby player so I can't really stand and look cool in any situation, but I try my best. Somewhere there's some pics of me playing guitar at my mate's birthday bash, we did a mini U2 set...I was melting lol. Kinda looked the part though...
