it´s a well worthy quote to highlight, imho.

On the opposite side of the scale, the Irish singer-songwriter Damien Rice...

And then send him the pictures of waiting beardos? Well maybe... I just have to get through the itchy phase. Usually take my beard off once it's getting there.

"Maybe I'll get him to buy it back off of me," Mr. Rice said. "I was just doing it for a laugh."

Wow wow wow

He was there long time ago.. But I'm sure that the long beard isn't better

but... but... does Bono actually play guitar??

I truly thought that the other guys were playing guitar (The Edge and the other one) and Bono was only singing

hehe you can see I'm not a big Bono fan...

Lazy feck lets the Edge do all the dirty guitar work.

Canadian Island · 01-20-2012, 01:16 PM

The Edge's guitar work... He's more a sound architect than a guitarist, finding out where to turn the knobs of his 27 delay-pedals so he only has to play two notes per song: http://youtu.be/tHlU2ukrCoU (U2's The Edge playing Elevation without effects )

Edge plays guitar = he's a guitarist. I actually prefer the Edge's singing to Bono's.

borneoman · 01-20-2012, 06:46 PM

^haha and I have never heard the Edge singing... but I do prefer his singing to Bono's too

cille · 01-20-2012, 07:12 PM

Van iem's Land off Rattle and Hum - The Edge sings pretty good on there.

im actualy surprised damien has that much lying around. the guy isnt unknown, but he's not uber rich either. thats alot of money. How many copies did he sell of O and 9. I'd doubt he sold 500,000 total for either album

Joyful · 02-25-2012, 04:00 PM

^ He used the money from that horrendous X factor cover. I think he did well with it.
