Wow! what a great shot! u were lucky to get that close to him.

Seems like we get a lot of these kind of picts from Chicago.

Errr, what "kinds" do you mean?

no good concert ones, just ones outside behind this fence like last time. Not that it isn't bad to see the B-man up close, it is just that in Europe there were very cool pictures downloaded on this site and ours suck in a big way.

Hmm, well, you propably are right. These pictures aren't as good as the earlier ones... Altough personally I'm THANKING EVERYONE WHO ARE SENDING THESE PICS, SEND SOME MORE... Since I'm the miserable one, who can't get to concerts. *sob*

I forgot, are you going to University in Helsinki, or do I have you confused with someone else?

Yes, I'm the one (from university of Helsinki). Still trying to read that stupid exam book... I feel I'm going nowhere with it... Except to these sites.... Well, that's not too bad... :)

it is so easy to get sucked into this site and spend a lot of time!!

yeah,and sometime to much time..hehe:)

but I always have some time for U2..

susanne, I share your pain.. I've nver been and won't be able to go to a u2 concert in this tour for sure..

WOAH is it me or is B growing a bearD?

Scruffy b-man

Well, as long as it stays scruffy... I mean, I wouldn't like to see him with the santaclaus-kindof beard..

hmmm maybe hes growing a jesus-like beard... I think he looks more mature with his beard.. but also.. when he's just having little stubbles, they're more like pepper and salt(yes oct, I'm quoting michka) and here it's his own colour...with a little grey/white in it... maybe it's the light... iono.. but I like it ^^

Hmmmmm....Bono is not so young in these picture!

THats the way I like him so now words on how he looks old. I like hot older men anyway. Never been into my own age!!I hate it when I hear about how some people went to their shows and say, oooo they are looking old!!! shut up about it!!! He and the rest look pretty damn good for their age, Tomaz, you should be so lucky as to look like them at that age, so there!!!

I agree, Octu2... They still look as hot as ever...

Octu2, I agree with you, but I want to say that the Bono is not a young guy anymore!!!-But He is in best rock years!;-)

Tomaz,we know you aren't trying to be mean or anything like that..but the thing is that almost everybody (I think) will think that Bono and the other guys in U2 will look sexy and hot even at the age of 80!hehe..so it's difficult for us to say that they aren't young:) I don't think they look old at all..but that's me,other people may think they look old. I don't:)

He looks like a nice and I do mean nice soft gently worn leather jacket :) Wrinkles in the right place and ever so meltable on your skin :)

hmm I'm weak to older men.. .I also had a teacher crush a while ago ghehe... but those wrinkles, makes you wantt oto touch his cute face!

I"m with you Ingrid. I never liked my own age.

well, for you it isnt that bad... but me falling in love with a 34 yo man(I could swear he was 25! he looks like it, and everybody thought it!) that's not very accepted in this world y'know...

At your age right now it isn't, but it happens all the time as you get of legal age. My daughter is 20 and she just married a guy that wil be turning 30 in December. Once you are out of High school and can make your own decisions I think anything goes, if you have enough in common and you really are in love and not looking for money or anything like that. My husband is 3 years older than I am. When we were of high school age, his age group would have never gone out with mine. But when we went to University,then all things change. Oh well. You hang in there and wait to date while you are out of high school and it is so much easier and better.

well I know I can be a child now and then, but I think I'm getting a little too mature for the dudes of my age... I just am more attracted to older guys.... and I just heard that uhh I forgot who it was but he married a girl 29 years younger than him... BONO I AM 29 YEARS YOUNGER THAN YOU ARE ^^ *hint*hint*

heh Ingrid you're falling in love with a 34 year old guy... I watched Flight Plan on its opening night last night and Sean Bean was in it... he was the captain of the plane... I didn't notice it was him but when I did this is basically what happened:*Sean Bean walks onto the screen*Me: Oh, look! Sean Bean!*long pause*Me: Huhuhuh... *drooooooooool*^^ lol ;) Maybe it's just his IRISHNESS that is hhhhaaaaawwwwwttttt lol

ghhe I *could* post a picture of this 34 yo man... but if he ever finds out, if anybody finds out... I'll be quite dead,... so I wont.. ^^ well he is guitarist in this cool band... and they'll break through some day, so you all get to know them.. and I'll tell you that day ^^

oh well....my ex-boyfriend was 40....(I'm 28) and we broke up 10 months ago after 7 years!!...it is not a matter of age...just the heart! :-))

I know, but still, at my age, it's quite illegal you know ^^ and I seem to have this problem, I love men who are allready married ><

My previous boyfriend was 26, and the age difference was no big deal.. i thought you were already 16 ingrid?

oh yeah, I am... is it legal at 16 then?? I thought at 18....

Well, it's 16 over here, I don't know about everywhere else, lol

lol wheres over ehre????

Legal for what?????????????????????18 is the legal age to vote.....21 for drinking.......16 for driving a car........0 on up for a library card...lol ... You need to be 18 to legally get married without your parents consent in Cal.....in USA states rights vary on these rules.... :))Did Sushi say Sean Bean...... *kitty's eyes boing out her head*... ooo yeah hottchi mama I dig a bean-man too......grrrr

we want to know the age where it's legal to date 18+ men... and Bon's goatee is very intriguing ehre... I can't stop staring...

here is the UK, still, lol

Waves to Kat...where have you been??? Hows the new band???? must come tell all......anyways Ingrid you can date an over 18 year old man when your twelve but if your talking about having whooopeee you better be over 18 or the man can get a statutory charge slapped on his behind and sent up the river if the girl is under 18.... this is Cal. law....although if a girl has her parents consent to marry at 16 I think they might over look the stat law but I think the guy has to be under 18 also or he can be charged with a sex offense..... ok I could be totally wrong on all of this..... grrrrIngrid his goatee is intriguing.....he had one along time ago (20 years) and I just loved it....always wanted him to grow it back.... *kitty thanks heaven as they finally answered prayers*...grrrr

I know! 86'when he got back from ethiopia... he had a lovely one, I have THEE best picture of that: I'll upload it... I also have one of Bono in ethiopia with a donkey :Pbeware, this picture is to die for! well I melted and fell off my chair when I saw it the first time... http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/8153/bonoscruffy3xp.jpg

I've been mishmoshing around here there and everywhere, thats where i've been! haha. New band is totally hot. We got us a rhythm guitarist, and he's the cutest thing ever, lol, he can also play eeeeverthing, he's a totally awesome guitarist, I want him playing lead, but Jon would totally brutalise me if i even suggested it, lol. Got our first gig on 22nd or 23rd of November, I can't even remember which, haha, doing some classics like Teenage Kicks, I Love Rock n Roll, Celeb Skin and Whole Lotta Love, so I'm gonna look even more of a lesbian than everyone already thinks I am, lol, I'm bi dammit!! hahahaIt's great to see all you guys still here, living the U2 dream.. Its a yummy one, to be sure :D

do you have some of your bands music online? I'd like to hear taht! also, what do you think of this song:http://www.stateofeye.com/music/State%20of%20Eye%20-%20Got%20it%20all.mp3

No, nothing even recorded yet, but I'm hoping to get into the studio and have a play round before xmas. It's so great how many of my older friends bands are going, Swound and MPK both have EP's out, and Jacoba- a pure straight out IOM band!- have had their album out for almost a year now! I'm hoping they're all gonna help us up the ladder, since we spent so many years being their groupies, haha.. I'll check this song Ingrid.. just having a bit of trouble opening the link, lol

it should popup wmp... well in a minute I'll visit their site, and I'll check if the link has changed...

Ahh, I've got it Ingrid, it just took a while.. it's pretty cool :)

the guitar player and backin vocalist is that music teacher I spoke about ^^ they're a band from amsterdam.. and their first video is made, and about to hit tv :p I hope they succeed in it, and if you'd like, browse around on their site, if you have the time, there are some more of their songs, and you can see that teacher;) hes cute! www.stateofeye.com

Just hearing the synth in there, reminds me, Mr Moog, the guy who invented the synthesizer, died at the end of August! I read that today, lol. gutted!

I went to their site and downloaded all the tracks, haha, they're an ace band!

Hey Soulcat,speaking of where have you been,Where have you been lately? It has been lonley here with the underaged ones:)

Oct I've been Working......working .....and working....I'm starting some new projects and i get very cranky when my muse is such a little tease and have to set on her to get serious....grrrWent to BillyefffingIdol and had the time of my life....met him touched his belly sweat and got an autograph..... he is really sweet and funny as hell....he tore the place to shreds and played for a really long time...the place went ape sh-- he didn't want to leave announcing he was definately coming back to us..... we were so good to him my ears are still vibrating....*awe* ...he was super as usual and it was the best show I've seen of him so far... pssst his skin is unbelievable...of course I'm talking about his hard belly...oh gaaaaawd!!!....rwaaaar!!!!

hahaha.. I love the way my parade was just totally rained on there.. is it any wonder i never hang around :) *hugs* Soulie. You guys take it easy

cool kat, everybody says they're soo professsional and stuff, and I really think they are! I hope they get a record deal soon, cuz they really can be very professional! gheheh I am sort of their advertiser in my town, half my school knows about them thanks to me, and I got an EP from the guitarist, and he didnt want any money for it because it was a little older, 2003, and I think that's what I do it for ^^ ghehe and I hope to see them live soon, cuz I am not allowed to go to amsterdam on my own, and in almere there's not much for them to play, so maybe I cna go to amsterdam with friends.... also, did you check the bandpictures?? ;)

Grabs umbrella props it over Kats head....nobody rains on Kats parade and gets away with it.... kitty slaps self all over the street and then slaps self some more! Ok did kitty kick selfs ass or should I give it another go?????? ....oh my....psssst kittykat Billy was haaaawt' er than hell fire on a' hot summer night'.....oooooouuummm-baby sizzzzzzzzzle.....hhiihi grrrrrrr

Bumity....grrr

have you seen the cover of the New York times allready??? gawd the beardddddddd... it's a pretty pretty picture, and here's a high resolution one in case you haven't seen it yet ^^http://www.bonoonline.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10001/nyt01.jpghe looks pretty serious, but cool there, and also, new colour shades... well they're nearly colorless...

That sucker is so humungus I can count every frigg'n hair in his beard......holy nutso.... lol....I love those glasses.....vera vera cool..... :))

yeah we can finally see his eyes! and did you notice the few white hairs near his nose? hihi and the rest of his beard is reddish brown, just like his pretty hair.... but do you know if he coloured his hair during the elevation era? his hair looks, especially in the beautiful day vid, so black......

I do believe he was dying it from the get go...he had lightened tips when he was just a kid....then he had sort of brown which i think is normal (or was before the grey set in)around Amnesty tour then wham he had it pitch black like Elvis when Joshua Tree got going .... umm baby I loved his hair long and flying on stage and he'd run his hand through it and be drenched from head to toe.... oh yeah the good ol days....the curl your toes sexy good ol days.....RWAAAAAAAArrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

ohhhh don't get me started bout JT era bono... but his hair was brown there, not black!... when I saw the all acces on u2 thingy yesterdya, THEY HAD A PIECE OF AN INTERVIEW WITH Bono from 1988!!!! IN COLOUR~!!!!!!! omg I really really really died there... so.. cute... it was really incredible to see, and bono was soooo adorable! geheh and yeah his hair was quite drenched on the rattle and hum dvd... during bad, sympathy for the devil, when he bows like that, and gets back up, you can see the sweat flying around.. and before that, when he jumps down the stage, singin ruby tuesday, you can see one of the security guys cleaning the place he jsut walked, prolly because it would be dangerous to walk there.. caution: slippery floor! ^^ I thought the Black elvis look came during zoo tv... and what's the amnesty tour :sthe two tone mullet was kinda cute... I have this cute picture of bono with his mullet in a hooded blue sweater... he looked sooo cute ! too bad there arent much colour pictures from those eras...

WOW Soulcat, I'm so happy for you that you got to meet Billy Idol!!!! You must have been on quite a high for a while there!!! my sister and I went to a Green Day concert a couple of weeks ago and we were on a Green Day high for several days after. They are sooooo talented. Very good live. I had to take a couple days off U2 ,but as I have written in another post, our men have been haunting me everywhere I go!! Songs playing in stores and everytime I turn the key in the car,that is what has been on. So, I had my husband put the Rattle and Hum album on my Pod for penance and now all is good. I forgot how much I love Bono's voice on that!!!! Amazing!!!!

Ok first off to Oct...thanks I had a blast..Billy is scrumptious and dripping sexy......glad to hear you had a good time too *wink* and oh yes I love Rattle and Hum....it's effing fantastic....sing...".Love rescue meeeeee'....sweeeeeet... ;))~I wish they'd remaster Joshua Tree....when I play it the dynamics are way lower than the other albums. I noticed it when i put five cds on my 5 cd player and had them on random shuffle....gads the rattle and hum songs were all quite low in volume......Oct have you noticed this? .....INGRID....hun Bono had brown hair (which is his color) BUT he was dying it pitch black alot of the time during the tour(don't forget this tour was really long) I have every magazine every american interview on TV in this time era and he was dying it way before Zoo...during amnesty his hair was growing out from the blond tipped mullet and it was absolutely darling....I have that tape too and his hair is really brown on top and black underneath... but anyways you know how the last five six years his hair is different shades well it was like that then too just darker shades...hope that helps :))....grrrrby the way where is the link to the back thing? .... ;P

Oh Ingrid the Amnesty tour was short for bringing awarness to the organization and getting people to sign on... it was after Live Aide and before Joshua Tree Tour ... it was limited and Sting was on the bill for my and I think back east Bruce Springsteen did some of the shows , but that might have been the year after...duh!!!(oh hell need to go drag out all my junk the brains the first thing to go)hihihi....anyway one of the songs he sings is a killer version of Maggies Farm (Dylan song) makes me piddle right on the spot so damn cute is our man......RwaaaaRRRRRRR

lol it's on one of the other pics I think.. I thought I posted it here... if I find it, I'll post it here ;)yeah I thought something was wrong with the JT cd on the first place, since the volume was sooo low.... and also the Rattle and Hum dvd has pretty low volume too... I really should buy R&H cd soon, I love the songs ;)hmm I never knew he dyed his hair black way back there... I really need more color pictures from that era! I do have a few pretty ones, but most you can find is low quality or black n white... ;) and in the michka assayas book was also bono saying he was going to be a redhead soon, I saw a pic of him with jeff sachs, and hell yeah he was a real redhead there... so I think he had that for a while, and is returning to his normal colour now or so..

argh it's on the same as the u2daily links are... I really can't find it! I can't remember the pic... altho it was bono... I think a closeup of him.. no hat.. I think .. not sure..
