Nonononono guys, no kissing each other, there's plenty of girls here for that (and I'm the first one in the queu)...
From: Ingrid on 2005-09-25 19:36:53

From: Octu2 on 2005-09-26 17:44:56
Has anyone noticed how LOOONG Larry's eyelashes are? In that other photo with him looking down,they look super long also. Cutie!!
From: knappevent on 2005-09-26 18:48:39
Shal i drop something......... Nobody's noticed the pink cros in his ear??? What does that mean??
From: fanny on 2005-09-26 18:50:10
actually I think it's the light that makes it pink..but I guess the cross itselfis a sign for his believe..
From: Octu2 on 2005-09-26 19:00:40
It is the light for sure.....look at the mans eye lashes though!!!!
From: Ingrid on 2005-09-26 20:03:48
yeah it's silver... just his usual earrings... Ive never seen him with others actually ^^
From: Susanne on 2005-09-26 20:32:31
..."Can't get her eyes off Larry's eye lashes anymore"....
From: Soulcatgirl to Boomie on 2005-09-27 00:23:42
Where did you get your snog t-shirt......I've been looking for one... ummmm btw if I'm not mistaken babyface looks like he's about to plant one on ol' LARRY's lipshkins!!!! ....whoohoo!grrr
From: Octu2 on 2005-09-27 02:51:52
you could always print this on transferable paper and iron it on a nice t-shirt.
From: Soulcatgirl on 2005-09-27 11:31:40
hahahahahahahaha... that was a good one! I want one that says "give him a BIG FAT SNOG!"....and I'm talk'n more like meeee & Bono...hihii...grrrr
From: Ingrid on 2005-09-27 18:21:38
more like printing this on a teeshirt saying "Just Do It"... I'm sure wheneverr you meet bono he'll plant one on your cheek for sure! that's so him!
From: Octu2 on 2005-09-27 23:43:57
Probably!! Did you ever read that article where this girl mad a purse with some image of them and he became obsessed with it and when she had it at a concert he saw her and said,"hey there is that pruse" It was funny,but I can't remember where I saw it.
From: boomcha on 2005-09-29 15:32:30
Hupsala not this one on a teeshirt, the other one with Edge/Bono of course.... We should all have teeshirts for the next tour: GIVE HIM A BIG FAT SNOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From: Octu2 on 2005-09-29 18:13:56
It really would be funny to make some t-shirts with some of these photos. It really isn't hard to do. Don't know that my husband would like a pick like this on me though!:)
From: Ingrid on 2005-09-29 18:16:00
boomie a LITTLE more subtle! btw... you can peek in larrys chest here... so that's a big fat plus! hehe oct, how about my parents seeing me walkin in this one ;)
From: Octu2 on 2005-09-29 20:44:29
Ya Ingrid, I think that would be over the top :)
From: Ingrid on 2005-09-30 16:16:13
more like they'd kill me! hehe or send me into anti-u2 therapy!
From: Octu2 on 2005-09-30 17:25:25
do you mind if I ask how old they are? Do they know who u2 are? I would guess they are about my age,and I can't imagine not liking U2!!
From: Ingrid on 2005-09-30 17:27:49
my dad is 52, mom is 50.. and my dad thinks u2's okay.. but he's not special with them as I am... he's more into french chansons(makes me wanna vomit because we are made listening to it too much during dinner) and that kind of stuff.. well he does like jamie cullum... and oct.. would you allow your daughter to walk around with this picture on her shirt??? heehee including the JUST DO IT sign under it eh^^
From: Octu2 on 2005-09-30 18:06:37
I never said this would be an ok picture,as it could be taken wrong...but I have a real wicked sense of humor and my 15 year old and I have a super great time when we are together. I would totally let her plaster he whole room with any singer she liked. Basically it is very harmless. I feel for you and the French Chansons. That would suck in a big way. I like French rock ,but some of the old stuff is not cool. my daughter is a Larry girl and we had our computer set to the guys and Larry for a while. My husband and I love all sorts of music and MTV or VH 1 is always on. Remember, my husband was in a rock band when he was a student in Sweden. I guess your Parents are about 10 years past the mark for u2. My nerdy sister in law is my age and didn't even know who they were. Her kids are embaressed by that.
From: Ingrid on 2005-09-30 19:49:23
great... my luck.... I wish I had cool parents like you!
From: Octu2 on 2005-10-02 01:24:11
I always swore I would never be a nerdy out of it parent. My two girls love to hang out with me. I'll sit and watch videos with them and also know when to back off if they need some space from me. They also know that it doesn't make me a permissive parent. I guess it is because I'm more of an artistic person, and can enjoy many creative things, in music and other things. I feel bad for my nieces becuase there mom doesn't even know who U2 are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We were at the table talking about my daughter going with us to see U2 and she said Who are they? I said "Your kidding me right? No. I listed all the songs from JT and others ,nothing rang a bell. Then I attempted to sing in a bad way "Beautiful Day" Finally bells went off!!!! That is an out of it parent that is nerballish. She would have a fit if she knew I just went to a punk rock concert with my sister!! BTW she is my exact age, so she should know who U2 are!! I was so irritated when her husband chimes into say that u2 were all drug addicts also. Clearly this parent/human needs to get out there more!!! anyway, I feel bad for you if your parents are out to lunch. I didn't always get along with my mom, but she loved all music and went to many concerts with my sister. She was with it in that way. maybe you can slowly introduce the music you like by playing the soft stuff first, then when you hook them that will be it!!
From: Octu2 on 2005-10-02 01:25:56
i'm real outof it from Greenday and pretty much said the same thing twice.....sorry :(
From: Ingrid on 2005-10-02 17:29:35
sigh... my parents know who u2 are, but they see bono as a 'freek with shades'.... :( so that's not much helping me... and I HATE those french chansons, and all the blues shit my dad likes.. I just had enough of it, hearing it all my life!
From: Laura on 2005-10-02 17:54:53
Haha...I've been training my parents for some time now. Especially my mom started to recognise more and more bands. Sometimes I'm really proud of her :)
From: Ingrid on 2005-10-02 18:04:33
well I nearly fainted, we were at my uncle's and he turned The Joshua Tree on for me(his only u2 album, but still) and my mom was like after streets's was starting, HEY that's bono! ... I was like O_O OMG she recognizes it!... that was quite a miracle for me... but now they do recognize enough songs since I'm playing them here on the attic, and the stairs are open, so you can hear it on the first floor... and downstairs you cant, but if I turn it on LOUDLY as in when I'm home alone, you can^^ *sigh* I really need a pc on my room, for myself, so I can get this as a wallpaper, and fill the whole damn thing with u2 stuff ^^
From: Octu2 on 2005-10-03 05:11:15
Oh my, why would they think he was a freak with shades? do they know how spiritual he is and giving towards others? Well at least they do know who they are and they aren't like my sister in law. She will truly freak out when she hears that I went to Greenday, I can't wait for her reaction. :)
From: Ingrid on 2005-10-03 17:05:57
they don't know a damn about who He really is! they only know him from the band and his appearances on tv sometimes... they have No idea about his africa thing, my dad even says he's an attentionwhore!!! cmon okay he's in the spotlights alot but he has a damn good reason for it!!!! Oct, what would you consider a good way to let them know a little more of the REAL Bono... the lovable guy we know?
From: Octu2 on 2005-10-03 17:25:24
Wait, are you the one who has the book that is called Converstions with ........ If so, next time your Dad is not being so nice,tell him that he should read a bit of this book. It is a good book to inform people about how he feels about his causes and his work. If the book is a bit too much,then print out some articles on all the stuff he is done. Bono is naturally charisamtic and people love him and follow him for pictures, I think even in the book he says that he doesn't like to be too mean to the photographers,since they have to make a living also. I really hate when people all jump on one aspect and say, he is this or that....then it becomes a recording and you hear eveyone saying it. For instance,the iPod comercial last Fall, even my brother in law,who loves U2 ,jumped on the band wagon so to speak and said" I'm so sick of that song and what a sell out that was" it wasn't until I told him that they didn't take a dime for it that he changed his mind a bit. If you love the band ,like us, then it really doesn't matter how many times they aired it for me :) I think the ones that are not informed are the ones that say super mean things about them, especially Bono. Good Luck.Don't know if I helped,but as a parent, if my daughter said,well, read this before you cast a judgement,I would. I didn't really care for the White Stripes very much ,but when my daughters told me a bit about him and I read a Rolling Stone article on him, I changed my mind, then started to listen to some of his music. I enjoy some of it,but he isn't my favorite. I do recognize the talent though. Maybe i'm a rare breed though,but I think parents need to get involved in what their kids like and be a part of their lives. I'm sure you parent's are lovely people though and Love you very much, I also think,if you give them a chance, they may read the articles and meet you half way on the topic of Bono and u2.
From: Susanne on 2005-10-03 17:28:52
Arrrrggggh..... Me and computers... Not ment to each others...
From: Susanne on 2005-10-03 17:29:49
You can also give your father the articles of Time and New York Times, maybe they would be short enough to read...
From: Susanne on 2005-10-03 17:31:26
...And Oct, you seem to be a wonderfully understanding mother... :)
From: Ingrid on 2005-10-03 17:32:12
S..H...O...R...T??????? The thingy is FOURTEEN PAGES!!!! okay my parents would never read taht... or a piece of my book... they just don't give anything about it, yes oct, you are a Rare breed!
From: Octu2 on 2005-10-04 18:30:30
bump.can't lose this one.
From: Ingrid on 2005-10-04 18:40:49

From: Susanne on 2005-10-04 18:42:09
Hmmm, I think I could do that.....
From: Susanne on 2005-10-04 18:42:45
I'm not just sure would I want to! ;)
From: Ingrid on 2005-10-04 18:53:34
look at this picture... Just Do IT!!!!!!! ^^
From: sushi on 2005-10-05 03:05:47
ok I dunno if I've said this before.. it's running through my head like I have, but I dont think I have... so sorry if I have said it before.I opened this pic during computers class yesterday. Both the girls next to me (who call Bono "Bozo") leaned over, squealed and jumped back in horror, then both exclaimed "Is he KISSING the drummer?!" I nearly *literally* fell out of my chair laughing... then I got in trouble for being somewhere I wasnt supposed to be and had to close the window.. I would've shown it the the other U2 fan in the school who was in that class, but I wasnt able to =( He would've liked it ^^
From: Slateblue on 2005-10-05 09:21:29
Oh how I wish he was... kissing the drummer, that is... hehehe ;-))
From: knappevent on 2005-10-05 13:57:02
ghegheghe... this picture is for several things explainable ;-) LOL..But: .. i have downloaded the video compilation from the torrentsite... with this number played on it... & guess who's can clearly be seen inbetween Larry and Bono... ;-) with a big, BIG smile on his face... i can tell you that!! I love this picture even more now!!
From: Ingrid on 2005-10-05 19:16:49
ohhh tell us!!! and can you upload that vid???hehehe sushi, funnny story! and hm I had a lot of ppl calling bono names and u2 stupid, and they heard some old stuff like One, streets and Bad... and they're like... wow... they're kinda good... the idiots download some albums.. and they like u2^^ hehe a friend of mine from work downed the joshua tree, and he likes it... he downloaded elevation live from slane... he said: it's quite, impressive! I was like.... ROFL... *falls off chair**... . hehe but I invited him over when the vertigo dvd comes out, to watch it here;)
From: sushi on 2005-10-06 02:09:54
Hehe... Oh how I wish he was... umm... SLATE FILL IN THE SENTENCE QUICKLY!! *slate:* Kissing the drummer. No... you weren't supposed to say that.. and you probably wanted to say something else anyway *dies laughing* ^^I opened this pic in computers class again today. I showed several other people, they all freaked out.. but once again I wasnt able to show the other U2 fan >=[ But I showed it to a guy who was going through PORN pix... he looked at it for a few seconds then his jaw dropped.. no joke... I was laughing till it hurts, haha! I'm going to print it out and show it to another friend in 8th grade who hasnt seen it yet.. lmao.. cant' wait to see his reaction ^^
From: Slateblue on 2005-10-06 08:31:09
Me?! ... *looksatsushiwithbigeyes* But I would NEVER... *triestolooktotallyinnocent* No no, I have only the purest thoughts... hehehe...
From: Ingrid on 2005-10-06 17:11:31
oh my, way to goo larryyyyy!!! you transformed slate into a BonoxLarry gal instead of BonoxEdgey... ;)Susanne, still waiting for your *edited* picture;) if you want, you can email Knappe for the HIGHpixeled version of this one, If I wouldnt be sharing this pc, I would hehe use that as a background;)sushi you are evillll... hehe but are kids in your SCHOOL actually visiting porn sites inside school?? wow, at least we have filters here.... hehe well maybe you could show the picture of bono in his naked butt;) or the one from the elevation tour... bono on the gorund... I really lolled about the comments there, and slate, yes it was your comment!
From: Susanne on 2005-10-06 18:01:34
Hmm, Ingrid, I may try to do that "edited version" for you, but it might take some time. I have had problems with my Photoshop, it's not working very well so I may have to use university's computers. And well, I don't think I can go to fix this photo there in the middle of the day, people might give me some odd looks (I really don't know why, some people are so restricted ;). I go there some night and see if I can do anything with this. I have some other things I have to do with Photoshop too, anyway.
From: Ingrid on 2005-10-06 18:58:30
heheheh would be funny to see ppls faces when you're editing this picture ^^ cuz youknow, you could also place bono near a picture of you XD hehe well, I want photoshop myself, but the guy who was supposed to give it to me, forgot it, and he keeps on forgetting it... talkin bout annoyin!
From: Slateblue on 2005-10-06 19:52:40
Elevation tour? Bono on the ground? Huh? I understand only train station...
From: Ingrid on 2005-10-06 20:03:46
train station? ... uhhh... do I have to look that pic up? it'll take me a while, I saved every pic I saved with the date and place, so that won't take me much time ^^
From: Ingrid on 2005-10-06 20:36:54
ghehe well, I mean this one, and while searching, I found another one ^^ but with no comments at all... I must say it's a joy to read all those old comments.. hehehe and seeing tese pics ofcoursehttp://tinyurl.com/7c8r8http://tinyurl.com/7smen
From: Slateblue on 2005-10-06 22:14:36
*LOOOOOOOL* Hihihiiiiiii... I had totally forgotten about this! Wow, I should check out those old pictures, too... so much fun!! :-))
From: sushi on 2005-10-07 00:58:24
hehe yes I know I'm evil.. lmao.. wait till you hear what I did today!! =KI printed out this picture and wrote "Just Do It!" in big letters below it, and I printed out the picture from Oslo where Bono is playing w/Edge's. I typed "What is Bono doing here? Whatever he's doing, Edge's guitar is in the way." on the picture. I took them to school and showed it to EVERYONE I ran into. One friend started to call it "porn"... and got ADDICTED to it. I'm not kidding. Whenever it wasn't in her hands she was freaking out and shouting "WHERE'D IT GO?!?!" Scary, huh? One person actually said to me, "I wonder what Bono's wife would do about him doing stuff like this!" which of course made me ROFL... ^^ The two pix were passed around the cafeteria during lunch, but luckily no teachers saw it.. until last period. I showed it to someone who hadnt seen it, and the teacher came up behind him and I started laughing when I saw the kid's reaction, then the teacher said "Get a hold of yourself. It's not that funny. It's just FOUL." But I didnt get in any further trouble.. *whew* I should print out some more.. hehe.. I have computers class tomorrow. ^^ Ingrid they werent actually on porn sites, they were looking it up on Google Images, and that isnt monitored at all.. odd.
From: Ingrid on 2005-10-07 15:41:07
holy sh*t sushi you are evilll! where do you come from btw??? hee hee Just do it... copyrighted by me!!!! and wich guitar one??? hehe the ppl on your school are cool.... ohh susanne I really want a JUST DO IT picture now... help me out pleeeeaaaasseeeee!!!!
From: Susanne on 2005-10-07 19:37:26
Ingrid, I tried to fix this pic today but I wasn't very succesful.. There's that drums thing (what is that plate kind of thingy called? I don't know a single thing about drums) on the way. It was also hard to crop and cut this pic, and when I tried, it didn't look very good, you lost quite a big part of Bono with that, and then the picture lost its meaning.... But I will try it again as soon as I got back to university's computers (and have more time), I don't give up that easy!!! (I tried to do this with my own photoshop just a moment ago, but unfortunately my program keeps on falling). But I will try again...Hehee, btw, when I was playing with this today at the campus, two guys from my class came and saw what I was doing. I was a bit embarrassed first, then I just thought what the hell, let's see if they have a sense of humour... Other one didn't obviously have, since he asked me "have you taken your medicine today?" (which I replied "Yes, but it only made me worse") meanwhile the other just laughed and winked at me... Let's see if I'll get in trouble for this.... ;)
From: sushi on 2005-10-08 01:15:07
I come from the great Pacific Northwest, Washington, Gig Harbor AND NO I WILL NOT GIVE YOU MY ADDRESS!! hehe ^^I'll bump up the guitar one.. I printed out a pic from the Elevation tour where Bono and Edge are singing into the mic and I typed "Screw the microphone, I want you, Edge!!" hee-hee! lol.. and I printed out the Melpop pictures and story.. read on the home pic LMAO! =P
From: Ingrid on 2005-10-08 17:48:07
wahhaah sushi gawd evil gal!! and susanne, it's called a cymbal, and the two smaller ones making the twitchin sound(mostly the nervous making sound, as it is in sunday bloody sunday/stuck in a moment etc) that are the Hi-hats.. ^^ hmm deja vu.,.. I can remember explaining this to somebody here online before...
From: Ingrid *BUMP* on 2005-10-09 20:25:20
*BUUMPPP* this one allmost got looooost!!!! we cant let that happen, and for the record, JUST DO IT!
From: Kat on 2005-10-09 20:29:21
Hi- Hats are dangerous!! Robin from MPK severed his hand on it, during a gig.. it was a bloody mess.. *hopes Larry and Bono won't get any closer that cymbol* lol
From: Ingrid on 2005-10-09 20:35:57
yeah hi-hats are pretty sharp, cuz they're thin... cymbals aren't dangerous at all ^^ and I am starting to get very very annoyed by this single cymbal!!!! get out of the effin way!
From: Kat on 2005-10-09 20:38:03
Well, it really depends on whether its a crash or a ride, to how sharp it is.. but it looks pretty harmless, haha
From: Ingrid on 2005-10-09 20:40:06
and I was reading Elevation tour comments... does anybody have an idea where ???/sarah/HomieVox or any of the other old commenters are? there really aren't enough edgebunnies here... too much babes to share Bono with ;)
From: Kat on 2005-10-09 20:41:35
Triple was here at the start of Virtigo, but I haven't heard from Homie or Sarah for a helluva long time!! I wonder what happened to them.. *sighs*
From: Soulcatgirl on 2005-10-09 21:10:24
Sarah was going to become a vet at university in West Virginia (or somewhere on east coast) and Triple is busy with working and children *teenagers* in Finland and Homie from Portugal was going to modeling school and became a model I presume.....wonder how there all doing?....grrrr ...Homie was a Bono babe...Sara and Triple were the EdgyBunnies twins...... :))
From: Slateblue on 2005-10-09 22:35:55
*sigh* Yes, it was good to have them so Boomie and I weren't all on our own defending the Edge luv!Btw, Matt and I just returned from the Robbie Williams show in Berlin. We had a really good time, but Matt is sad because his camera was taken away at the entrance. :-( Now you can imagine that he's more than a bit upset, also because we had some good spots where he could have taken some really nice pictures... grrrrrrr...

From: knappevent on 2005-10-09 23:09:50
Het mAtt... next time you go see RW, try again!(and plz let me now... i'll go with you!)
From: Ingrid on 2005-10-10 14:59:01
ohhh did you get it back in the end matt???? also, are you or aren't you allowed to take cameras into a u2 show.. cuz the band itself said they dont mind, they don't even mind bootlegging, as long as its not for sale.. and I heard some of you saying on the tix was that it's forbidden... *confusion* IF I am able to get tix, I'll sure try to make some pics! hee hee that rhymes
From: Octu2 on 2005-10-10 18:45:04
Ya, Ingrid our tickets say no cameras or recorders in the arena. People still do,and when I went to the concert in April, they never checked to see if I had anything!! When I went to see Green Day, they did pat people down, but they didn't touch my sister or I. I guess I could have taken a camera in there also. I may try to take a camera to the concert in November, but I'm so high up that it might be more of a pain than anything.Matt did you get the camera back??? That would not be cool if you didn't :(
From: Matt on 2005-10-10 18:56:15
Yes i got the camera back right after the show. They put a little numbered sticker on the camera and my ticket. So no chance to get a better camera back after the show ;) I think it works the same way at any other location. They can't trash your camera or something like that. So i encourage everyone to keep trying.
From: Matt to everyone posting links on 2005-10-10 19:04:11
Just wanted to ask that everyone pasting URLs into the comments make sure these are not too long. This is often the case if images from this gallery are linked. You can make them shorter easily by going to http://tinyurl.com. Just enter the long URL and they give you a very short link that works much better. There is even a little extension for those using Firefox so short URLs are just one click away. Since URLs have no spaces very long URLs make the page wider and you have to scroll left/right to read everything. That was the case on this page during the last days.
From: Ingrid on 2005-10-10 19:14:39
