*desperatelytryingtokeepmymouthshut* No no no... I won't say anything... You all know my opinion on that subject...
From: HomieVox on 2001-09-21 17:47:05
Nooooo! It...can't...be...haaarrgghh...noooooo!!!!!!It looks like Bono's is raising his hand and a bit hypnotized he smoothely says to the crowd: "Shut up, you big bunch of wankers...let me listen to my Edgie's angelic voice..." as edge improvises a heavy metal version of van diemen's land (lol)!!No, no, sorry bono, sorry edge, sorry, sorry, sorry...of course i don't think you two are...or do i? *****LOLing as i'm thinking of edge shouting to the mic, heavy metal style:"HOLD ME NOW, YEAH HOLD ME NOWTILL THIS HOUR HAS GONE AROUNDAND I'M GONE ON THE RISING TIDEFOR TO F***IN' FACE VAN'S F***IN' DIEMEN'S F***IN' LAND!!"

but it DOES look like that...and why not?? I mean, this men live together most time of their lifes...so what would WE do?????
From: Tanja on 2001-09-22 05:52:46
and sorry hv, I forgot that it was slate...she has got this strange thoughts when she looks at our men...:) but this pic could really be a proof...
From: Slateblue on 2001-09-22 09:01:20
Am I seeing somebody convert here? :-) That picture proves what I already know for years! And there are sooo many more pictures around on this site that confirm my theory! But so far, no-one wanted to hear about it... *sniff*
From: Tanja on 2001-09-22 10:19:00
I am just thinking about if I would like this imagination...hmmm
From: Tanja on 2001-09-22 10:22:16
btw, call me miss missing...I am sure you have all seen this show last night where many stars sang for the USA victims. BUT NOT ME!!! I heard of it just before one hour...and our men played walk on...who can tell me about that??
From: Slateblue on 2001-09-23 04:27:22
Aw, that's a shame you missed it... but hey, if you're lucky they repeat it again! They repeated it last night on a couple of TV stations (Sat 1 and Phoenix), and maybe they show it again.It was nice, they played the first verse of Peace On Earth and then headed into Walk On. I liked the performance, Bono was great I think... and of course Edge and Larry and Adam... they had three backing singers, and one of them was Morleigh Steinberg, which I thought was a bit funny. :-) (I still don't know if she's looking over to Edge or Bono... could be both...)
From: Tanja on 2001-09-23 05:22:28
Matthias, thank you so much for the download!!! THANKSSSSSSSSS
From: HomieVox on 2001-09-23 08:57:52
Was it?? LOL, i only noticed one of them was Natalie Imbruglia! And my mother said that the guy behind u2 playing his guitar was Clapton, but i didn't notice!It was great Tanja, i'm so sorry you missed it!! Bono was sooooo intense, you know, and his voice was great, Walk On was just plain powerfull, though I didn't like it in the end when everybody's singing: "Halle...halle...hallelujah" cause it seems like they're all calling Ali or something, LOL!But, tv stations probably repeat again, and maybe again...I was up till 4 in the morning to watch the thing live, and i was just stunned with our babes' performance! Also great was Springsteen, the duet with Fred Durst and the guy from Goo Goo Dolls, they played Wish You Were Here, the wonderfull Eddie Vedder(though he cut his hair, and I don't like it like that very much!), Stivie Sonder was great too, as well as Wyclef Jean, and i really loved the end with Willie Nelson, that man is the best!! Luv ***

Hello U2 huns....have been in a state of helplessness and depression...watching the fund raiser was so emotional think I'm trying to cry it all out of my system so that I can use my brain again...watching U2 over and over I'm blasting it very loud and they are all kicking royal ass it's so powerful and of course they are the most handsome prophets to be born...I luv them so much..They're music encompases every facet of peoples lives...thats why it always seems to fit any given day and the events of that day..this is not just'now' either they've been tapped into that special insight right from the beginning..how the hell did these four guys come to be the best effing band in the world? It amazes me time after time when they put out the most incredible albums on the planet.....This is my top Twelve list of some of my fav's but don't hold it against me: U2,Elvis,INXS,Led Zepplin,Beatles,Stones,Hendrix,Stevie Ray Vaughn,Concrete Blond,Bruce Springsteen,Bob Dylan and Eric Clapton....honorable mention Spinal Tap!!!ha ha...Hope you guys no who that is?...getting back to the show I really lost my sh-- when Paul Simon sang "Bridge Over Troubled Water" because I love that one with (Art Garfunkle voice) but mostly by Elvis..it gets me bad in my heart...I'd luv to hear Bono and Edge duo on that one.WOW would probably faint!...By the way HV that wasn't Clapton but I think could it have been Edges bro or Gavin? Duh if anybody knows, let us know ok?....I did see his wife and I could say..well here goes, does anyone think she looks like a female Edge with lot's of fuzzy hair?Take a look at Edge's photos when he was fuzzy headed!!...ha ha Ok ok but I still think she looks like she could be his sister!!!! Am I a blind *sexy* bat! Ha ha that little zinger was for Triple ?... I also liked Tom Petty alot....Gosh the whole show was just incredibly wonderful, and deep down sad too.....I think America got a knock to her knees girls big time and she's finding it hard to get her feet again because it's a collective pain of the heart and how do you mend that? Maybe we need one of Bono's Red Breasted Stars to put over our nation and the worlds Hearts......Luv SCG
From: soul cat girl on 2001-09-23 13:46:00
Shoot I have to add Sheryl Crow,Pete Droge and James Brown to my list of 15 is it now?...I could lose control if I'm not stopped......grrrrr..Billy Idol,David Gilmore,Cult,Doors,Steppenwolf,Alvin Lee,Moody Blues......out of control out of control...wheeeee spreading Bono luv in vintage vinyl.....
From: ??? on 2001-09-23 23:25:24
Alright, alright, alright, now I'll tell you.. you know about my history with bad luck, but I think.. I don't know... it must be something weird going on as with U2.. I only have good luck!!!I must tell you, that I decided not to watch the show, mentioned above, because I read that there would be Dixie Chicks, Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears!!!! Gosh these rumours in internet.. anyway, on saturday the people on TV told that they would repeat the nights show later on, and I switched the channel, because really, if I wanted to see Britney and Justin, I would have turned the MTV on.. but then came the evening, I was on my way to have a good night sleep when I once again turned the TV off, but by misstake hit the nro 1 button and there was Steve Wonder!! Gosh, I was surprised to see him, I mean he is one of the Big stars, not on my TOP15, but you know a Big Name and I decided to watch who'll be the next.. and you know !!!! God I almost had an heart attack, think if I had came here today and read that I deliberately had not watched the show.. Twice!! Thank you.. whoever!!! If it's you people that have turned my luck, thank you!!! Anyway, I loved the show, lot's of guitarr music, lot's of true stars!! And I must say, that even if I'm not a huge Mariah Carey fan, she got the tears in my eyes, I mean knowing about the problems she gots in her personal life, or at least rumours, she was there, she was strong, she sang for America!!!I'm so happy I saw it, sad I didn't tape it.. I would love to take a closer look of a certain female..grrr.. now that I know.. I thought about it, but wasn't sure, she appeared quite tall, or then Natalia is just a.. really short person.. and I would like to know who the beard guy was, thought about Eric Clapton too, but hadn't time to check him out really as I was too busy to check out Edgyluv.. btw, what About Hallelujah, isn't it a Leonard Cohen song?!? Could it have been him,has he a beard nowdays?And Slateblue, do not say such awful things!! I do not even want to think about the fact that a woman who has the possibility to adore and worship Edge in public, to do whatever she fancies to him.. in public, would ever look over any other man.. that would just be desecration!!!
From: soul cat girl on 2001-09-24 01:01:49
Oh my Gawd you are so lucky girl...sorry you didn't get it taped though damn it..You probably missed Bruce sing " My City's In Ruins"? Wow powerful it set the tone for the rest of the show...I totally agree with you about Mariah Carey I was sort of making fun of her before and was not a big fan but I felt like she was singing from a life line and this song was as much for herself and finding an inner strength as well as she was singing to all of us...so I was pulling for her all the way too..But our boys were so effing awesome I can hardly take it....E-mailed Sarah tonight I want to know if she got her tickets? Mine come up on the 30th...fingers crossed and holding my breath.....grrrr
From: ??? on 2001-09-24 01:13:04
You got tickets!! Oh shit, you're going to see them!!! Aah, really, my head starts to spin.. cool down, cool down..Well, I'm sure sarah got tickets too, I mean, she's one of us, she had to!! Think SCG, five weeks.. but you have to remember to look at Edgy too and to tell us about him.. and to tell him about the shirt!! Btw, if I'll send you a shirt with a question mark on it, will you throw it on Edge?? Carefully of course, but exactly, wouldn't want to Adam to put it on!!!And yes, as HV wrote about Bruce, I love that voice, I cursed myself for missing him, but I saw the boys, I saw U2, and that's all that counts right now!!
From: SC party pooper Girl on 2001-09-24 01:41:17
Sorry ??? I won't get mine until Sept. 30th...thats when they go on sale and it's going to be a fight to the finish...My shows will be in the Oakland Arena in the middle of November..the 15th and 16th I think?...Told Sarah I had planned to go to LA and Phoenix but I'm a Chicken butt and will not travel that far...no not now....Didn't you say awhile back that you heard they weren't going to tour any more? You know I went to the San Jose shows and the first night when I was up close we came away with that impression too because of the way they acted and the things they were saying but then I didn't get that vib the next night so I thought maybe it was just my imagination. I wonder if the other gals have had that impression at all...Matt did you also get that feeling at all? Triple where was this that you read it?...If I get to go I pray to heaven I'm NOT in the rafters..I'm going for the $130 but this is not a guarantee of a good seats...The second night my friends had $130 and they were so faraway... grrr toe nails crossed and standing on one good leg.....

Dave Stewart? Was it Dave Stewart with U2? Anyway, I'll download the video from U2,zero.org, that amazing site, almost as amazing as this ;) ;), and check the guy.. and that female.. grr..anyway on that same site, I took a look at the 'What's going on video', check it out girls, there's Bono.. and Justin and Britney and many more!!..and now I saw the video, no Slateblue, Morleigh had only eyes for that amazingly beautiful man of his!!!God she's beautiful too.. lot's of big hair!!!.. he'll never dump her for me... :(
From: ??? on 2001-09-24 01:47:02
Oh you Wet Blanket, you sneaked on me, sorry to understand you wrong about this one, really!!! But, really SCG, it was rumours I read, in the Internet, look what they almost did to me with the Tribute show!! THe show must go on!!!
From: ??? on 2001-09-24 01:56:37
So, the show is going to be in three weeks!!!! Oh girl, you're going to get your tickets, you are!!! *crossing fingers and toes*
From: soul cat girl on 2001-09-24 02:12:23
You know it could be Dave if he's cut his hair?...ya know I think it is...I would never have gotten that! He looks so different...I taped the making of "Whats Going On" video the hour before the fund raiser came on. It's awesome...he's pretty gaaawd damn cute huh Triple? He is so darn sweet and wonderful I know you like him a little bit just say it...just say it ok...ha ha ha listen I need to go find my fluffy...tomorrow I'm going to go through and read all the list I have to catch up on.I was here this morning but not long...have fun ??? and hold the site down...oh by the way I worked on our rock story and I'm stuck bad...there's so many of us girls the story is too effing long and I can't seem to cut it up so I'm stumped as to what to do? It's five full length pages right now and I'm not even finished...I think I'll write a different one cause this just will not fit....grrrr lots of Bono Honey luv and it comes in 41 flavors....wuff wuff...
From: ??? on 2001-09-24 02:24:49
No no no, don't cut it, oh sh**, I would love to read the total story!! What shall we do about it???!!?? Help someone!! You just need to start e-mailing, Soul Cat Girl!! We do need your story!!And about Davey boy, I read it from that zero place. Anyway, it was difficult for me to try to check on him because you know, Edge was in every picture with him, and I honestly can't take my eyes off that sweet man!! Anyway, there was also a photo and I think the man look so f**ing disturbing familiar, but probably it's just Dave..and SCG, I've said it many times, I love Bono ..then again nope, probably haven't.. I think he is a very sweet person, very lovely and brotherly, and that's it I suppose, I would love to share my kitchen table with him, talk about all the important topics trough the night, drinking a cup, ar a few cups of tea, but when I hit the sack, I want Edgy to be in it!!!Sleep tight my dear friend, and tell Bono, that I'm having my lunchbreak soon, I'll be waiting at the table, in the backroom.
From: Slateblue on 2001-09-24 02:31:03
Well, it *was* Dave Stewart. Someone in a mailing list mentioned he had something to do with Walk On, and it's also written in the CD booklet: "Thanks to David A. Stewart for early inspiration on Walk On." So it makes some sense. Soul cat, how's your leg? What did the doctor say? And hey, congratulations for getting tickets! Now you have something awesome to look forward to, you lucky thing! :-)???, you think Morleigh has only eyes for Edge? Hmm... still not quite sure about that. You're right, she is quite tall. But not taller than him, I think. I once saw a picture of the two of them with Morleigh pushing a pram with baby Sian, and they looked as if they were about the same height.
From: ??? on 2001-09-24 04:54:25
Well, about Morleigh, my special friend.. grrr.. and another grrr.. if she keeps looking at another men!!! Anyway, I've only seen pictures of her alone, and the one with her, Edgy and Dick, but somehow I've always thought she'd be a tiny, little, cute person. Not tiny at all, I am surprised, must I say. And where did you see such photo, with baby Sian?! Remember?Btw, I checked the Hallelujah song by Leonard Cohen and what?? The song was produced by Bono!! And not just it, but also Lead vocal, backing vocal and finger clicks are by Bono!!I'm so impressed with that man, he is everywhere!!
From: Slateblue on 2001-09-24 06:39:09
Hehe, I bet soul cat's gonna come up with a nice reply to that! ;-) And what are finger clicks? He sure does a lot of side projects, I'm always amazed at how little of that reaches me. For example, I didn't know about that song with Leonard Cohen! Gosh, that man does have his hands everywhere... doesn't he, soul cat? ;-)About the picture of Edge, Morleigh and Sian, it was in some newspaper, but I can try to scan it and send it to you if you like. It's a really cute picture, should be from '98 or so, and they both look fine and relaxed, and Morleigh's wearing sunglasses.
From: ??? on 2001-09-24 06:57:49
True Slateblue, what are finger clicks?? I just copied the text, without reading.. I suppose it's the noise, when you click you're thumb and middle finger, you know?? Don't know though.. But on earlier this year, I've been going through Leonard Cohen's sites, reading about his albums and songs, and I've wondered about those Halleluja snippets U2 keep having, as I remembered it as mr Cohen's, but now I'm wiser again..But I would love to see the picture!! Wouldn't put my e-mail adress here, you know, being the mystery woman!! But I'll try to find the picture, where you wrote yours and I'll send it to you, and you'll send me the picture!!! Oh yes, I love it!!
From: ??? on 2001-09-24 07:22:05
Slateblue, I found it!! I'll e-mail you tomorrow, as now I have to run to my bus!! I wonder how U2 is going to surprise me today?!?..can hardly wait!!!
From: Slateblue on 2001-09-24 16:01:30
Hey ???, I've scanned the picture and taken a close look at it again... and I must say, she might just be a bit taller than him! But I'm not sure, it could also be the perspective that's misleading me here... You know we'll have to discuss this issue properly! :-)
From: HomieVox on 2001-09-24 16:59:27
What pic are you talking about? Sorry, still can't concentrate after that s**t in my head!! Oh, yes, Morleigh's pic with sian, isn't it? No pic for me?? Tell me about it!! Wanna see it!! ***
From: soul cat girl on 2001-09-25 01:00:44
Have you girls got the cd or tape of the single "Desire" and "Hallelujah Here She Comes"1988 and Adam is on the cover? What do you think of it? Got a copy and it's a bit distorted...Also..this is dedicated to Slate beings she wanted a good finger licking story...."Finger Clicks Are So Sexy"...click-snap click-snap click-snap doesn't that sound sexy as hell? What no...not to your liking....Well just imagine your a big ol'turtle thats just climbed up out of the sea and you've been dodging motor boat propellers..dodging all the fishing lines that tangle up the coastlines for miles upon miles...dodged the ever present Great White's omni powerful jaws....dodged those drunken sportsman with their mighty potent rifles...dodged all the turtle cancer that's floating in the foam...dodged those foul 'Corporate Turtle Soup Makers' of the world....dodged the blackmarket tortoise shell collectors that think you'd make a cool coffee table...dodged the annual censes takers that want to drag you on board pinch and poke ya and staple a tag to your only good arm before they do unspeakable shell probes on you...well Yep I'd say by the time you heard that click-snap click-snap click-snap you'd be ready for a leisurely eight hour romp with the big horny snapper that made it there riding the waves right on your ass...so see how it can be sexy if you squint your eyes turn your head a little sideways and let your tongue touch your nose...can you see how it is now? ooooo where the hell is my Bono man damnit so he can practice his clicking-snaps on me!!!grrrrr....Bono luv spewing out and cap-sizing in the surf....girgle girgle...
From: ??? on 2001-09-25 01:06:25
???Well, slateblue you ol' turtle, read that and get horny of the thought of Bono clicking his fingers..And SCG, you need to sleep now!! .. or maybe you are, sleeping, having nightmares.. poor thing..
From: soul cat girl on 2001-09-25 01:30:43
See what happens when you watch the National Geographic Channel!!!! It f---s your head up...They should put a warning on that program!!!grrrr
From: ??? on 2001-09-25 01:41:50
Scg, I do not have the tape you mentioned, but is it the one with a naked Adam?! Oh, or is it me hallusinating.. why did it ever come to my mind??And about the turtles, shall we talk about them?? About what we do to them?? Or shall we talk about the bald eagle, what we do to them?? Or maybe the doplhins!! I'm happy I can't see the National Geographic channel!! SCG, are you trying to make me stop singing 'Daydream believer'?? I won't, no I won't!! .. so Cheer up, sleepy Jean, Oh, what can it mean To a daydream believer and a homecoming queen?..
From: Slateblue on 2001-09-25 07:07:02
Uh, I must say, I do have slight problems to follow soul cat here... what the hell are you talking about? And what did that doctor gave you? Are you on drugs? ;-)
From: soul cat girl on 2001-09-25 14:46:59
No Edgy dov but I wish I were on something(though med's make me barf up hair balls)!!My leg is really starting to cramp my style!!!! I can't sit around all day with out jumping out of my skin!! Thank God for U2 video's or I'd be crazy by now!!!! Ok stop it I know what your thinking!!!*crazyasaloonytoon*....I've been thinking about the fact that you guys went to Ireland and to their houses and it must have been so awesome but strange too...Did it feel a little weird but exciting? What the hell would have happened if they came out and started screeching!!!! HV your bus story is tooo damn much!! Girl your out of control..Oh I luv it!!! ha ha ha...So your Mom is a big fan too!! You guys think I'm bad you should get a load of my Mom in action, she's really scary and scares the hell out of me constantly when it comes to doll fases...She loved Michael Hutchins as much as Bono and when he died we both went into a shitty depression...we've got all of INXS's album's and Michaels side projects...in fact I finally found the sound track to the movie 'Barbed Wire'as Michael sings Eric Burdons "Spill The Wine"...Gosh I totally love it..how sad for that whole big mess...sad for all of us who luved him too...sh--! We're any of you Honey's into them? On Michaels solo they do a prophetic song (sniff)...Bono love soaring and soaring up into the heavens..meow
From: Slateblue on 2001-09-25 16:03:32
Yeah, HV, that was a funny story! I just imagined three beautiful Portugese women screaming their heads off realising they are in front of Bono's house! That must have been too funny! :-) I must say, I feel a bit ambiguous about going to their houses... part of me is just plain curious and wants to see where they live, and the other part keeps telling me it's private and I shouldn't be interested in such things. So I haven't quite figured that out... From what I've seen so far, I think Larry has the nicest house, it's really beautiful.
