Black Sabbath Posted July 19, 2015 Author Share Posted July 19, 2015 I took some others, but those were taken after I had met them and they were moving down the line. Couldn't really get any when they were right in front of me.Never thought I'd get to meet any of them, so really happy I actually did, let alone Bono and Larry! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Sabbath Posted July 19, 2015 Author Share Posted July 19, 2015 I saw where people were congregated waiting to see if any of the band would come out and walked by a number of times. Ended up walking by just as Bono was coming out. I was a few people back at first and snapped some pictures then walked over to the other side where I could be on the railing and patiently waited. He ended up making his way over to the side and down the line, smiling and carrying a marker, happily signing things. He took a picture with the woman right before me and when he got to me I calmly asked if he'd sign my shirt and he looked and smiled and said "Sure". He went about another 10-15 people down and then left.Larry came out real quick when he got there and I was lucky enough to get on the rail in front. He wasn't doing signatures but stopped for a few pictures and shook just about everyone's hands that was on the railing, mine included, smiling, saying Hi, asking how we were doing, and thanking everyone. Very cool and nice.Larry wasn't out for long, but he wasn't doing any signings. Bono was out for probably at least 15 minutes.We saw Edge and Adam come in as well, but they didn't come out then. Don't think they came out later either.So, even though I didn't make it to the show (turns out they released some GA tickets at the box office around 7:30, just when I got back to the hotel in NJ - ugh), I'm still happy I got to meet those two and get a signature from Bono. I've got 6 other shows after today I'm going to probably try for, and may bite the bullet and at least opt for seats for one if nothing else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 So all wasn't for nothing then. You've got to love these guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bono Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 That's awesome Black Sabbath. I'm surprised Larry did even that haha. He's usually the grunp and gets in and out as quckly as possible. Edge and Adam are alright but yeah Bono seems to do this stuff all the time and has all the time in the world for the fans.... or at lest all the available time he has for the fans. Really cool stuff you got to expereince that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 Jimmy Fallon sang Desire with the band tonight. Can't believe I'm missing these shows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Just go to a show, BS! Even if it isn't GA this tour is worth it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 I know, but I hate to do a 5 hour drive for a seated show. Ugh. Thinking my parents and I may get seats for the last show. We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Sabbath Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 I was over the weekend but couldn't get a ticket. I'm not anymore though and I live in PA. I could take the train from DC but not sure how much faster or cheaper it'd be. Will be happy if I make it to at least one though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty darn cool. And I would bet this tour will be back next year in markets it didn't hit just like 360. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bono Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 (edited) I know, but I hate to do a 5 hour drive for a seated show. Ugh. Thinking my parents and I may get seats for the last show. We'll see.Seriously dude nobody sits at U2. I've been to three shows this tour and the best one of the bunch I was in the stands at an assigned "seat". The three shows I had "seats" for not a single person was sitting in the entire section. I did GA and it was great but this tour the assigned seats are in my opinion better. You're robbing yourself if you're dismissing the shows because you don't want to "sit". Edited July 26, 2015 by Bono Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Sabbath Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 I know I'll be standing, but I guess I should say I hate having a single assigned seat and not being able to move at all. But I think we're going to try the last show, so hope it works out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bono Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Two Hearts Beat As One is awesome!! Lady Gaga meh. I mean she has talent but insists on dressing like a complete skank. Ummmm.... you're there to perform with U2 maybe put some clothes on whore. She shoud let her talent do the talking and stop with the freak show shit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gackt Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I thought her outfit was a bit inappropriate for a U2 show also, but I'd imagine she got it cleared by the band and management before she wore it on stage.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 My aunts and sister were at the show.I think its cool she joined them on stage, but also thought the same thong about her outfit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Castaneda Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 She is a pop star and New York is her home. I serioiy doubt anyone in the band gave a shit at all. And this the 21st century and I seriously doubt it would be a subject of conversation in Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
