Hmmm... I can't help it, but he looks a bit pinched, doesn't he? Is that supposed to be a smile? He often looks like that... *scratchingmyhead*

wat is het toch een poepie zeg...*zucht*
From: Joanna on 2001-09-02 15:28:28
He's just a shy boy , Stateblue, that's it, he's just shy.He does do that thing with his mouth a lot, but, that's a part of his charm. I'd prefer it if he was smiling there, thoughNice close up, how did you get that?

From: Tanja on 2001-09-03 02:06:14
Hi SCG, this is not german, this is dutch! And I am sorry, I dont understand it!
From: ??? on 2001-09-03 04:43:23
Joanna, he's not shy!! He just don't give a f**king damn about smiling, he's afraid he'll look stupid and someone might see..That's our wonderboy, looking the way he always does.. pinched..Btw, why isn't she tucking her hand inside his shirt??
From: Matthias on 2001-09-03 04:55:49
SCG ... i'm most behind the camera but a friend took this pic in Cologne :)http://www.u2-concert-pictures.com/?display=2001-07-12%20Cologne%2Fcol1_05-1.jpg
From: Slateblue on 2001-09-03 05:26:55
Soul cat: Well, what can I say about Matt, let me think... If you're at a U2 show and notice a pair of arms lifted high upon all other people's heads, hands holding a digital camera, clicking away, and you let your eyes wander and see the owner of those arms is rather tall and slim, his face showing signs of utter concentration, and you can almost hear him thinking "I have to take some awesome pictures for my girls in the comments section" - well, then it's very likely you're watching Matt! :-)
From: Slateblue on 2001-09-03 05:29:34
Aaaah, it's so great to have a real Larry lover here! Joanna - are you THE Joanna from the "That U2 Guy" mailinglist? And ???, what nasty thoughts of yours, tztztz... ;-)
From: Susanne on 2001-09-03 10:49:48
Yes soul cat girl, there is a pic of me... and Larry and my friends.. hosted here:http://www.u2-concert-pictures.com/sk/:-)
From: ??? on 2001-09-03 23:14:29
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh... his hands are around you.. or some of you!!!! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh.. who are you??? Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh... that's just not... well, I'm happy for you... you know, after all, it's not The Edge... sigh.. btw, it's not Adam either... poor you... :(
From: Susanne on 2001-09-04 12:26:11
I am the one on the right...Btw, Adam is not my fave! It is Bono!:-)And I still take Larry over Adam I guess! Hehe....!
From: soul cat girl on 2001-09-04 13:31:36
Where in the world did I get that? I think ??? said it somewhere and I took it as fact!!!! So your after the BonoMan too....well well well this changes everything....I will have to watch my man when you show up!!!!By the way I heard you talk...last night Allen took all his Slane photos...Matt said it was a MCD request...what is that? He was upset..me too...all beautiful photos are gone...Matt saved some comments on other photos but alot all gone...crying like a baby.....But we have yours and there Hotties too....grr luv to ya BONO HONEY...grrr by the way I wish I had the guts to ask for a kiss if I got as close as you did!!!!!.....ummmm
From: soul cat girl on 2001-09-04 13:35:30
Very quick: are you the blond or brunette?.....grrr
From: ??? on 2001-09-04 23:22:39
..Oooh confused, again!! Have I once again mixed persons here, or names, I'm good at that one, but.. oh I see, you're under cover.. an Adamite, in fact means a Bono luver? Or Susanne is it you at all?? How many Susanne's do we have here anyway?!? Slateblue, am I right or am I right? You were there???Well, anyway, I'm sorry about my story then.. didn't do quite much for you to spend the night with Adam, then? Well, it's just to move a bit for HV, Scg, Tanja and Ginga then, and give a little space off that butt to Susanne too!!
From: ??? on 2001-09-05 01:20:01
And one quick.. How the he**, do you always know in which hotell they stay?!?I mean, I suppose there are more than one hotell in London.. never been there though so I can be wrong. And even if there was only one, I would probably be standing outside a bankautomat, waiting for the boys to get out, not noticing it's a gawd damn freakin' automat!! So long for the quick one here.. not my style..
From: soul cat girl on 2001-09-05 01:54:47
See that's the same deal here I can't figure out either!!!! You guys have friends in the hotel buisness or something? There's no way to find out unless you have inside help...Or do you just follow them from the airport where you've been staked out for days...on shifts with other people? ..this takes planning with a tribe right? Susanne you do know your story is coming up here soon you know it's unavoidable so you better be a good girl..Ha Ha ha ha giggling like loon luv Bono Honeys all around the world..grr
From: soul cat girl on 2001-09-05 01:58:10
By the way what happened to Ginga? Was she on a work pc too? she might be mad at me for teasing her!!!YIKS...grrr
From: Matthias on 2001-09-05 02:00:52
SCG, MCD is the company where the pics are originally published. They have also a gallery but no comment system .. how useless ;)
From: Slateblue on 2001-09-05 02:08:46
Yeah, I also thought Susanne would like Adam best... didn't she say she always had signs for him and everything? So I'm more than surprised now... Susanne, have you made up your mind who you fancy? I mean, I don't really mind as long as I can keep my third of Edge... right, ???, Sarah? ;-)
From: Susanne on 2001-09-05 02:55:31
Hehe, so did I surprise everyone then with my "love" for Bono?? LOL :-)Well, I have liked him best since I have liked U2 (which is since 1989). Ok, I had a temprorary Adam phase in July as he has been so nice to us then.. that blowing kiss, his smiles and stuff, remember? LOL Thus the signs for him... plus my brown-haired friend is crazy for him and we simply waved the signs together... ;-) But basically the Bono thing never changed! I guess you can see that from the amount of my pix of him. :-)As for the hotel thing..... I dunno, we are just smart... :-) LOL We have our sneaky tricks. ;-) And you just gotta keep on asking, inquiering.. !!! Slate, you also knew the hotel in London, didn't you? Stefan was there at least. Did you know, btw, he called Larry "asshole" (mumbling to himself) when the latter didn't sign autographs at the hotel (which he had told us it was because of the professional traders)? Ts ts... How mean. Larry was so nice to the fans in London!!!Oh, and no reason to be jealous now because of Bono, soul cat, ok? :-)Btw, I am the blonde one!
From: ??? on 2001-09-05 04:11:16
Don't get me wrong now Susanne, I'm not complaining, no way!! But what's wrong with our bunny?? Me, Slateblue and Sarah are more than happy that it's just us, btw have you noticed the amount of Bonoluver's that have been cruising here?? Gawd there are lot's of you!! Anyway, tell me about Edge, have you ever talked to him? Does his voice make your heart take extra bounches.. oh, no I forgot.. Bono.. he bores me...
From: Susanne on 2001-09-05 18:13:45
Ts ts, Bono bores you???? LOL Shame on you! :-)Yeah, I know there is a lot of us Bono lovers.... the singer is usually always the most popular, isn't it??? :-( Anyway... you all did seem to misjudge me... Adam my fave.... Edge last... Naaa!! LOL! ;-)Anyway. No, in fact Edge is the only one we hadn't had a small talk/conversation with yet!! :-( Too bad!!! I love his accent! He is so cool.When we sat in the hotel in berlin to wait for ANYBODY, he came in with his daughters and a fan was running over to him asking for an autograph... I could only sit there and mumble... "There is Edge! There is Edge"! (totally dazzled, it wasd my first U2 sighting off-stage)But I wouldn't have gone there as he was with his family... I still have some respect, you know. :-) You have to see when it is the right moment...But it was so funny - my friend, who cannot see well, didn't see him!! And when we told her... "Hey, he just passed!".. she said "Where?!?! I thought this was a sporting group"!!! No comment! LOL She had just seen Edge's bodyguard (or a pal) who wore a U2 shirt and thought it was (a) fan... and she overlooked Edge.. ts ts! Bad her! :-) We had a good laugh about her anyway!:-) Overseeing Edge!! But he was so small in real life! He he!
From: ??? on 2001-09-05 23:18:28
Yes, I'm good at misjudging.. heheheh, my brains work in such lighting speed that it makes it conclusions, before I've got the time to follow.. or something like that..And sorry, Bono dosn't really bore me, how could he anyway? Probably just me who bore myself!!And thank you about the Edge chat.. ooh, I love it! And his accent too!!Which year in Berlin? this year? Have you met U2 for the first time non-showly this year, loving Bono since 1989??? Please say yes and give me some hope here!!!!!!And I feel so sorry for your friend, believe me, no laughing at this desk, missing him, him being so close!! Poor thing!! .. Well the overseeing thing was funny, you know.. just my thing to see..;)But anyway, I think my heart would have stopped beating, seeing him with his kids.. sweet things. I'm glad to hear you didn't harass them at the moment, I'm sure the moment comes and then you'll remember Me and slate and sarah and all us who he is the number one too!! ...sigh..
From: Susanne on 2001-09-06 16:11:09
Yeah, of course this July in Berlin.... :-)Well yeah, I can calm you down.. I have met U2 the first time off-stage this year. :-) I have to say though that it was the first time I really trieed it.. :-) Oops! LOLWhen I saw them live in 1992 and 1993 I didn't really had the intention to.. I was a fan but not a HARDCORE fan yet! Still too young (and innocent)probably?? LOL I even missed the PopMart tour due to other interests of mine.... grrrgh! Silly me!! Ssssshhhh... Don't remind me anymore!! What about you and the previous tours?
From: ??? on 2001-09-07 03:40:29
I'll tell you my story Susanne, no.. no tours for me.Other interests here too, and I've liked their music.. since.. that would have to be about 1989 too, heh!! But it was just about the music and I was too busy anyway to be a fan for anything.. Then slowly, I started to listen deeper.. I started to hear the guitarr.. I noticed that some sounds actually were quite.. hot, but I still had some other interests. I did know Bono by looks of course I did, and Adam, because of Naomi Campbell and all those fashion magazines I used to read and I knew Edgy's hats. Blind blind woman!! Then once I saw them on a TV interview and I was like, Who the fu** is that and why is he hanging with those old guys?? And I thought that I better take a few rounds in the Internet, to see who he is and at the same time see, who turns me on with his guitarr??Well, I learned the pretty boy was.. yes Larry, none of them was old and I couldn't stop staring at Edge!!! It was love at the first sight, I must say.. I mean, the first real sight..And the interview happened less than one year ago!!!!!! I despise myself!!All the wrong decison I've made in my life, ..if I only would have kept my eyes open!!Now I can only hope you all still like me, even if I'm quite a ..junior here, I've noticed, well, sure not my age but, the loving U2 part..And believe me, when you fall in love at my age, it will be forever..
From: Slateblue on 2001-09-07 06:16:20
Hey ???, of course we still like you! At least I do! :-) You probably feel like it's a shame you didn't realize earlier just how great they are... But hey, I think most people wish they had kept their eyes and ears open for the band earlier. I mean they have been a band for so long now that no matter when you start getting into their music, it will probably always feel like it could have been earlier. A feeling of "God, what did I miss all these years?" I also feel that way, and I've been a fan for a couple of years now. So don't mind... By the way, do you think you would have been attracted to Edge if you had discovered the band in the mid-80s? ;-)
From: ??? on 2001-09-07 06:51:05
I'm so reliefed to hear that Slateblue, *bussi*. I like you too!! All of you!But to be honest about Edgyluv.. probably.. no, surely not, looking back at those photos of Edge!! But can't remember how I liked my men back then, I did wear ripped jeans and stupid wests myself!! Gosh, he could've been my fashion inspiration and I didn't even realise it!! So it's hard to think.. but the way he looked when they started out.. just too cute!! And in the early 90's.. I would've definitely fallen in love..
From: Slateblue on 2001-09-07 09:31:26
Ah, I caught a bussi! Very lovely... :-) What a great place this is, I feel really at home here with you girls!And ???, that's exactly what it was like for me! From the very beginning, Edge was my favourite and that hasn't changed till today. I don't remember what drew me to him in the first place, but I know that back in '93, when it all started for me, I got a huge kick out of watching the Numb video over and over again. And it's funny, coz when I see those pictures of him from '87 or earlier, they just don't do anything for me. It's strange, but it feels like the Edge on those pictures is a completely different person. I know it's only the looks, but geez, I can't help myself... he was none of the sexy beast he is today! :-)
From: Holly (starwars129@ Hotmail.com) on 2001-09-08 14:55:44
I must say this is an awesome pic of Larry!, but I have to agree with some of the girls..he would look Hotter if he smiled:) Oh well I still love Larry and so do the rest of U2 fans out there:)! God Bless ya U2:)!
From: Susanne on 2001-09-09 11:28:31
Unfortunately Larry hardly (fully)smiles when posing for pix! :-(
From: Tanja on 2001-09-09 11:45:17
??? and Slate, love you for this conversation!!! To be honest, before my first concert this year in Cologne U2 was "just" music to me. I didnt care about how they were looking or what they are wearing or whatever...I just sat at my couch and listening to all the great lp´s, old and new. And now after the concert I really need medical help cause I find myself thinking about our men nearly 24 hours the day...its a little bit scary...
From: Slateblue on 2001-09-10 01:46:42
Hihihi, maybe it calms you down to hear that other people feel the same way... uh... like... me, for example. ;-) I *love* thinking about them 24 hours a day! Since I'm back home, I feel I'm all caught up in my little fantasy world, and it's fantastic! I mean, reality's just effing boring, isn't it?
From: ??? on 2001-09-10 02:23:26
Slateblue, about you and Edge in 1987.. are you saying that now you think he looked like a ..goof, or are you saying that even back then you thought he looked.. less sexy?Because now that I've been studying him and me, so, I actually did dress like him!!! That is so scary, but I can't believe that I fancied him.. no, I fancied no-one back then!! But you see, it took me a few years, a lot of mistakes and many tears to understand my faith, but here I am, with you all and ain't going nowhere!!
From: Slateblue on 2001-09-10 02:39:41
That's funny, ???... I'll come back to that in a second! :-) As for Edge, I don't know, he just looked kind of inconspicuous, a nondescript person, a "grey mouse" as we say over here - somebody who doesn't catch your eye, who you don't take notice of. That's what I felt about him in 1987, but I must say that back then, I basically didn't pay much attention to U2 at all. But ???, it's kinda funny to hear that you dressed like him, and I don't mean that in a bad way, coz it's something I did as well. When I fancied some band or one band member in particular in my teens (haha, that sounds as if I'm a granny now ;-) ), I used to try to dress like that person. So I can say I sometimes walked around very... uh... unfeminine, looking kinda ridiculous, you know. I even once went to the hairdresser's with a picture of some guy and said I want the same hairdo as he has! *LOL* Now isn't that embarrassing... I could do that with a picture of hatless Edge, but it probably wouldn't be a good idea! ;-)So did you wear the full gear - ripped jeans, vests, checked shirts and a hat?
From: ??? on 2001-09-10 02:58:12
Ripped jeans?? I still do!! How embarrasing, but not in public anymore!!Anyway, yes, I was the first to wear the ripped jeans and vests in my school!! I prefered white shirts to checked ones, but I got a few checked ones too and my hat was actually my brothers.. stetson.. so what can I say?? I did the full gear!! And I thought I was so cool.. but I can't remember where I got the ideas from.. I never thought it would be Edge, but think of me!!! ..and him...And the grey mouse is, quite what I would say too, but I suppose it has something to do with the fact that he didn't like himself back then.. I've been reading again.. well, I thought it sounded logical, that's how he looked like, like someone searching for himself..Anyway, this style he's got now, is perfect!!And shaving our heads.. probably wouldn't wake any warm feelings in him, if we ever got close enough.. again, would that be for you enviable one..
From: Slateblue on 2001-09-10 03:22:34
Wow, you *did* do the full gear! *applauding* :-) That sounds funny, I'd love to see a picture of you with all that gear on! But hey, you're right: Back then, I too thought of myself as being *so* cool, also because I was the only one who was running around like that. And of course I knew where it was coming from, so it was even cooler. ;-)And I agree with you that Edge didn't like himself back then. I'm just wondering what made him like himself eventually? It seemed to coincide with the breakup of his marriage, because strangely enough, after that, he started to look cool, as weird as it sounds...
From: ??? on 2001-09-10 05:08:45
God Slateblue!! I did have sense enough to not to let anyone take photos of me!! I do have one though, without the hat!! I mean, I only wore it in secret of my brother.. hehehehAnd the important thing to me was also to look unique.. and sure I did! Yes, marriage doesn't suit everybody, sometimes some people loses themself, trying to be something their not, only to please the other person who has the power to make ones life misarable if one doesn't, you know what I mean?? Too sad.. but at least, now we got ourselves a beautiful Edgy, who seems to enjoy life and himself! And yes, that surely suits us..;), but I will not thank Morleigh!!
From: Slateblue on 2001-09-10 06:55:03
Yeah, I think I know what you mean... And he does seem to be a lot more at ease with himself these days. There's an interview line that comes to my mind, something like "I think I've gotten better at being me (...) There were times when I didn't really enjoy being me (...) Which is bad because in the end, you do spend a lot of time with yourself." Something like that, but I've no idea where that came from... I thought it might be the Zoo TV tour programme, but I can't find it there. Though I'm pretty sure it must've been there, I'll have another look.But it definitely shows. And why not thank Morleigh? She's probably played a big part in this development! :-) But of course, with us, he had developed the same way... ;-)
From: ??? on 2001-09-10 07:16:54
Yes that's the interview I meant, when I wrote I've been reading..And believe me, I'm the first to thank Morleigh when she gives us that beautiful man to play with ;)
From: Slateblue on 2001-09-10 08:23:28
Well, we should ask her then! Maybe we could write her a letter or so... Dear Morleigh, we are two tall and attractive women from Europe and we want to play with Edge. As you probably don't need him 24 hours a day, we would be grateful if you could send him over every now and then to make us happy. Any more suggestions? ;-)
From: ??? on 2001-09-11 00:41:06
Yes there is one question, where can I send it???
From: Slateblue on 2001-09-11 01:40:57
I'd sayMorleigh SteinbergL.A.USAwill do :-)Another possibility would beMorleigh Steinbergc/o The Edgethat reddish-brown sort of funny looking houseDalkeyCo. DublinIrelandShould make its way... Of course, you could also wait till Tanja comes back and arranges another meeting for you and Edge (and me in your baggage ;-) ), and then you could drop the letter on the kitchen floor or so...
From: ??? on 2001-09-11 01:53:19
Never again will I let Tanja arrange my meetings with Edgy!! No way..Haven't you heard what happened, with men in black and 007?? Please, do not remind me..Anyway, I think the Dublin adress is fine, shall we try it? Or the real one, the one to her company in Dublin??? hihihihih..
From: Slateblue on 2001-09-11 02:37:30
Oh yes, I remember... but enough of that, don't want to bug you here! Yeah, let's try it! That should be fun! We could also write one letter to each address to make sure at least one arrives! ;-)
From: ??? on 2001-09-11 04:33:56
Do you think I need to attach the photo of me, wearing the vest, ripped jeans and shirt?? Do you think that would do the trick??Btw, who's hair was it you once copied?Have you a photo of yourself, to be attached too?
From: Slateblue on 2001-09-11 05:56:37
No way, I'm not gonna tell! I'm far too embarrassed to be honest... Plus I don't think I have a picture of me from that time, guess I was smart enough to burn them all. ;-) But hey, we should attach pictures of us from nowadays! The other stuff probably won't increase our chances, unless Edge has a bit of a weird taste... (who knows?)
From: boomcha on 2001-10-31 07:59:25
Happy Birthday, Mr. Larry Mullen Jnr.Wish you all the best for your 40th birthday and may you look so young and beautiful as now for the rest of your life!!!!!!!! Good celebration!!!!Much whiskey, beer, champagne and lots of girls!!!
From: Slateblue on 2001-10-31 08:13:34
Hihihi, now finally the last of them has reached the magic line! Happy birthday to you, Larry!
From: ??? on 2001-10-31 08:16:55
Yes Larry, happy birthday and do not forget, I owe you one..After all, it's you who brought me here.
From: boomcha on 2001-10-31 08:18:27
And me too, thanks a lot!!!
From: ??? on 2001-10-31 08:22:00
I owe you one?? Well, if you think so..Gosh, my memory is doing some tricks to me, but as you say.*furrowing my brows*
From: sarah on 2001-10-31 17:28:33
see whathappens when i'm not paying attention! here go my evil edge twins, plotting to exclude me from this plan!! "TWO tall beautiful edge girls" ? i believe there are three. damn you two, you are realy just too evil. of coure, as payback, i must reveal that i already wrote a letter and staked sole claim on edge for myself!! hhahaha! you will regret your selfishness!! *cackles*
