    Where is the fly? :
  2. last night on earth speech, meggico 97
  3. I'll probbly post a few!! Hard to choose one.

    I'll start with what Bono said about Adam at the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.

    ''Somewhere in the south. We'd been campaigning for Dr. King, for his birthday to become a national holiday. In Arizona,
    they are saying no. We're campaigning very hard for Dr. King. Some people don't like it. Some people get very annoyed. Some people want to kill us.
    Some people are taken very seriously by the FBI. They tell the singer that he shouldn't play the gig because tonight his life is at risk, and he must not go on stage. And the singer laughs. Of course we're playing the gig. Of course we go onstage, and I'm singing "Pride (In the Name of Love)" -- the third verse -- and I close my eyes. And you know, I'm excited about meeting my maker, but maybe not tonight. I don't really want to meet my maker tonight. I close my eyes and when I look up I see Adam Clayton standing in front of me, holding his bass as only Adam Clayton can hold his bass. There are people in this room who'd tell you they'd take a bullet for you, but Adam Clayton would have taken a bullet for me. I guess that's what its like to be in a truly great rock and roll band.''

    That amazing- albeit questionable, as made known by the recent news item on this site/@U2- never fails to send chills down my spine.

    Favorite quote at the moment...

    "If you're really good friends with The Edge, you can just call him The"
    -Adam Clayton

    I knew the story from U2 by U2 but when I watched that induction I got shivers. Must be something special, this band
  6. Another quick one...

    "I want to play the guitar very badly, and I do play the guitar very badly." - Bono
  7. "Dream up the kind of world you want to live in, dream out loud, at high volume, that's what we do for a living..LUCKY BASTARDS!!!"
    -Bono from new years show 89'

    Everything before "that's what we do..." went into my yearbook when I graduated high school
  8. at the MTV awards in Paris (95 or 96?) when u2 was accepting an award Bono said sumthing along the lines "What a night, what a city, what a bomb, what a mistake, what a wanka you have as a president"
    i think it was in reference to france's testing of nuclear weapons.

    yeah and sections of the crowd started to boo and he goes ''what are ya gonna do about it?????''

    legend.
  10. Zoo TV opening night, backstage Lakeland Arena. Bono to CNN reporter:

    "I'm into it, we're into it and the real U2 fans that have been around, they'll be into it.
    We might lose some of the pop kids but...we don't need them"
  11. Some artists become dull when they stop drinking or drugging, but Adam’s not one of them. He’s his old self. He loses none of his rubber-band-shooting, water-gun-squirting, public-disrobing spirit when he doesn’t drink
    - Bono
  12. "I don't know what Zoo TV is...it must be art"
