  1. And his legs are too long But really creepy, looks pretty much the same.
  2. If it was real one there would be Edge sitting with guitar right next to him. Good impersonator, good guitar player, but not much of a singer.
  3. I wonder how much money he makes by doing that? He certainly looks the part, and I would be surprised if Bono was tempted employed him to sit in on UN conferences and Charity events
  4. I have seen 2 Bono impersonators in 2 tv series. One of them was Castle, a few months back and the other one i dont remember.

    Must have been either NCIS (LA) or White Collar i think.

    Anyway, there is money to be made

  5. hmmm, might start working on my Adam impression then, there must be a market for that

  6. Do you think you could handle the new hairstyle?
  9. This is a record, I think. Same piece of news posted 3 times in one day
  10. Oops Busy times, didnt check the previous page.

    Sorry, I won't let Duran Duran remain nameless. After a very decent comeback album, Astronaut, they presented the follow up to the label, and the label did not like it. They scrapped the album since the label wanted a more "radio friendly" album, brought in both Timbaland and Justin Timberfake. The album was ok in spots, but not as good as Astronaut. Andy Taylor took the high road and quit. The album is almost no guitar, real drums, and bass. U2 will never do that. They might go overboard on a few songs, reaching for hits, but won't go out like that. I still have hopes that Duran Duran release the album recorded before Red Carpet Massacre, since Andy Taylor's guitar is on that.

    Well at least you knew. Astronaut was a fine album and they followed up with RCM - I do like The Valley but that's it. Then there's AYNIN - a much better album.

    I know U2 would never end up totally getting rid of the three elements (besides vocals) and I'd be sad if it happened. A few radio hits are fine but don't just make an album with 11 or 12 radio hits.


    Wow Drew!! I don't mean to bug ya, but....: A lot on here love Crazy Tonight(Pretend Pop Version Remix), and Boots, and Magnificent. I thought the original Crazy was ok, but a weaker cousin of "Walk On." I pretty much have a reputation for hating the Crazy Remix, which is fine with me, but I loved "Magnificent" as does my best U2 friend. I really like Boots, but it is getting a little stale with me.

    Boots is great. Magnificent I don't absolutely hate (I shouldn't have said crap) but to me it just sounds 'generic'.
  12. Who says "generic" has to be bad?

    If they've got a paradigm that works well, why not take advantage of it?

    As much as it is important to continue to innovate and create, it's also important to root the album in something that works. Magnificent has that "generic U2" sound, but it sure sounds great.

    I remember the band having a similar reaction with the creation of Beautiful Day. They wanted to move past the echo-y guitar sounds, but when Edge found those chords, he said they were simply too good to pass up.
