Bono: 'Nice is such a shitty word'

[beeniefide]

on the contrary, i think "shitty" is a nice word.

[noisyrag2]

Larry should've kicked this fools ass.

[KITCHENOFDISTINCTION]

WOW ....please please tell us about your greatest ever ....... TAX TAX TAX TAX avoidance.....................­..You Cunt Bono, used to love you, now I loath you, the more I read about you.

[Netlocd]

I thought it was a great album. :\

[xxleandraxx1]

proud to be irish american!!!! larry is soo hawtt

[EaglesStir]

@amydawned Look, they interviewer shouldn't have said "nice" since the subject was on the album, but Bono didn't have the rebel like that.

[butthistimeitslike]

i really cant understand why people who hate u2 or bono watch u2 interviews and videos and leave bad comments.

[VincentSchraa]

atleast this interviewer has his own opinions

[rarelyzippo]

Anyone know what album they're talking about?

[eggman1269]

It looks like the Atomic Bomb era. Bono looked like that for the entirety of the record release and tour, huis hair was cut and shorter for No Line.

[Teacat749]

Me: "Mom, I'm going to shoot 3 people!"

Mom: "Why on Earth would you do that?"

Me: "They don't like U2!"

Mom: "Take my gun."

[Madnessonman]

What a self righteous jerk.

"I'm a rock star and your not so fuck off!"

The guy is being polite and Boner is being an asshole.

[vracan]

@Madnessonman

WTF???

Bono self-righteous??

HE IS a rock star, like it or not!!!

And he did'nt get to that status just by being on american idol or crap like that, he paid his dues, and wrote more hits in his life than you probably are even aware, since you must be a kid, obviously!

[mrVanDingo1]

i didnt know bono likes men

[zerotonico]

IS ONLY A DOUCHEBAG

[pxdud]

completely agree bonos' a dickhead. just because its "U2" doesnt mean that they deserve automatic praise if the album wasnt good (which i dont know if it is or not since i dont like U2). And yes it was unprofessional of the interviewer to just call it nice but if he didnt like it that much that he couldnt be bothered to use a better then fairplay on the interviewer

[vracan]

@pxdud

OK so obviously you are NOT a musician!.

Let me explain something to you non-musicians (who probably take music for granted), when a band records an album/creates original music, it is VERY personal!

The songs feel like your child, no parent wants their child insulted!

So when you insult a record of a musician- you insult the musician!!

Capitch?!!

[pxdud]

@vracan First of all, lose the attitude. 'Capiche' who says that,... anyway on topic, do not assume that i am not a musician. i play guitar and try to make something half decent (which usually it isnt). I couldnt care less if bono was offended, but it was dickish on bono's part to pick up on the words in an interview environment. USUALLY the people being interviewed would've just gone along with it, the general public doesnt pickup on the choice of words too much. Bono was being overprotective?

[pxdud]

@vracan and by overprotective i mean overprotective of his "baby"

[bottleracket]

shitty interviewer

[phunkyboy]

bono is a complete dickhead anyway .

[Evethemagnificent]

F U BONO

[Georgikinz]

0:16 LARRY IS NOT AMUSED.

this interviewer is a fuckhead.

[dookiebot]

Nice is not compliment. Sorry it's true. Try this, go to a fancy resturaunt and if the chef asks you how everything tastes say "it's nice" or "it's ok" that will piss him off big time. The chef would rather hear "I don't like it" than "it's ok". And Bono has every right to not like what he is hearing. Has nothing to do with being big headed, its called having an opinion.

[svkartisbest]

high on fame .anker

[Reint25]

Even though I'm not a fan from Bono I get his reaction here. When a band or artist just released a new album they always say it's amazing, because that's how it feels to them, no matter how shitty it sounds to others. So when a journalist calls it just a 'nice' album you piss those people off.

[KangoTV]

Agree about 'nice'. I've always had comments about me being 'nice'. If that's all I am, it's time for some changes. Fuck nice. Whenever anyone calls me nice from now on, I want to use Bono's line... but I will probably end up just being nice about it instead.

[Broommaster2000]

HE LOOKS TO MUCH LIKE MY BROTHER!

It hurts.

[Scoob505]

Don't fuck with Larry or he will turn you into jelly.

[uliqed]

Bono had a bad day.

[JamesVibe]

Who the Fu*k got to do this interview????? What an ass the interviewer is!!!! Yo Bono, Larry come over to Brooklyn.... Lets have some drinks at the bar and talk music, life..... etc. We'll shoot it black and white. What do you say. I know i can do better than that ass.

[smurf022]

Peoples ego can be so fucking ugly, message to bono, come back down to earth and pull your head out of your arse, you actually got an interviewer who didnt kiss your arse like the rest do, get over it

[MrAmadaeus]

@smurf022 Well fucking said!

[alternatereality85]

You can tell from Bono's face and his body language (folded arms - Larry too) even before the interviewer says 'nice' that Bono has clocked him and has read him like a book, maybe there was a little banter before the cameras started rolling as well.

[Artemis458]

well played bono

[eguslan]

bono didn't make the largest crap on earth, he "is" the larges crap on earth

[megarocko94]

wow this interviewer is a dick. wtf.

[CocoonSoon]

OMG BONOS head is actually expanding, its like a fuckin watermelon!

[AltRockAddict]

Join us on FaceBook @ American Republicans 4 U2

[rattleandhumgirl]

I love these guys..so full of natural humour.

[7da7n37]

Goddamn! Bono was quick to pick up on that! nothin wrong with defending yourself and your band

[meavid]

Pop...crap album strike one!!

[rattleandhumgirl]

Pop is amazing tho..well everyone has got their own opinion

[crazychicks225]

Wow....guess this interviewer doesn't like U2 too much! :P Bono should've smacked him. Pfft. "Nice album," my ass!

\m/ \m/ U2 rocks! :D

[Sk8terboyzgurl77]

LOL that's awesome

the look on Larry's face like "what are you doing?!"

[HacjienceYukona]

Bono is so leonine here...phwoar! "Nice is such a shitty word." You can hear the interviewer pissing himself.

[nintendoslaaf]

Right after he called it "a nice little album"

Larry hand turned into a fist XD

[Md2802]

... and his mouth tightens

[carolinehewson]

Hahahahahaha!

[crazychicks225]

lol!!!!!!!!!!!!

[moakleydakota]

no line was craaaaaaaaaap these guys have been going down hill after Zooropa

[5unflow3r]

If it's really true that 2 crap albums means you're axed, then U2 should consider themselves axed. I can't even give away my copies of Dismantling and No Line--trust me, I've tried!!!

[MikkiMoore33]

i have no idea how you can hate those albums. there are very good songs on both

[AltRockAddict]

@5unflow3r I will gladly take all your copies of No Line

[seastar623]

LOL at Larry. Hes embarrassed. Looks like he's thinking "Oh, shit now you pissed him off,"

[garrethdavis]

haha

[bodonnavox]

shut up and let me listen ppl

[MuzikLuffur]

you gotta love bono

[anitaac]

hahaaha funny!!

[LayItPlayItDown]

First of all a GREAT little clip ! :)

5 stars for you!

------------------------------­------------

But i really hate the bleeping culture though.

I mean, show somebody's head being blown of, or even to blow somebody's head of (war) = fine. But say "fuck", and you get censored by the same people = complete "fucking" bullshit

[ovidebsco]

Can someone say where can I find the whole interview?

Thanks!

[u2MacPhisto09]

Sure Bono could be a bit overboard sometimes but Larry wouldn't be too annoyed. I mean he practically worships Bono and the ground he walks on.

[ESPspiderXIII]

Good that Bono caught that....he should've just tell the interviewer to fuck off....

[94samosia]

Cool sunglasses

[DummerJP]

yeah y the hell would he start out with nice then say its ok and then say CRAP i know he said "on the fact its not a crap album" but still y say crap at all......this interviewer is an idiot

[calkit86]

Notice Larry's body language when the interviewer says "its an ok album".. It looks like he is a little put off by that comment. I think Bono is also a little annoyed with the interviewer. Something must have happened just before this clip.

[DirtyDayMix]

hahaha i love bono's sense of humor, his irony and his self-parody.

he's an artist n_n

[insomniactor]

@DirtyDayMix What? He popped off. Irony and self-parody? Did I miss part of the 39 seconds? He's a pretentious asshole. Maynard James Keenan is an artist. Trent Reznor is an artist. Clint Mansell is an artist.

Bono likes to wear sunglasses and talk down to people because he thinks he's a rockstar for singing his pompous lyrics over The Edge's overworked delay pedal.

[DirtyDayMix]

@insomniactor Im sorry but i totally disagree with you. For someone who looks this great band from outside it's a kind of hard to understand characters like the Fly or Mcphisto... or the twists in Zoo Tv or PopMart, and just dont get it :), but for someone who follow them from the beginning... well, the complete frame is priceless. Maybe that's what happens to me with Reznor, i think it's a great musician, but a little boring.... well, im just look him from outside just like you with U2

[insomniactor]

@DirtyDayMix I'll give you that. It just seems like Bono is much more pretentious and arrogant as compared to the musicians I consider to be artists who are very reclusive and would rather their music speak for them, rather than condescending to an interviewer to make a point.

[DirtyDayMix]

@insomniactor it's ok, but we can't judge people just for an specific interview, with an specific situation, with an specific answer. There's 30 years of music in his shoulders... and for me this band still looks cool. In southamerica bono dedicates a song for a small local singer from Argentina who is in a deep coma now, and that's a kind of things that say so much for his humility

[Netlocd]

@insomniactor And yet, for a guy who wears sunglasses and writes pompous lyrics over The Edge's overworked delays, he's still very very successful and sells out concerts. 80,000 people showed up for a concert here in the maritimes. He must be doing something right. :-)

[insomniactor]

@Netlocd I'd hardly call Britney Spears an artist either, and I'm pretty sure she's made quite a chunk of money selling out concerts all over the world... just like Bono...

Success and fame do not equal being an artist.

[Netlocd]

@insomniactor What does, then?

[HarlemRain75]

Bono wasn't being rude. Some people are sensitive eh?? He continued on joking with the fella. I thought the fella sounded really partonising when he said 'wow" after Bono pulled him up on it.

[yomathu]

it was a little clash of rough irish humor and american humor. always seems to get bono in trouble. but, meh, people need to get cultured, honestly..

[midnightaria]

TRUE!

[amydawned]

The guy doing the interview was obviously not impressed with the album and he wasn't trying to hide that fact. Anyone, who interviews musicians for a living, would know that saying "a nice new record" would piss someone off. He was being a smartass. Bono & Larry had every right to be mad. Make no mistake, they were both mad. Larry cocked his head and curled his lip up immediately. He just didn't say anything. Bono shot right back at the guy...which he should have. They're U2 for fuck's sake.

[bodonnavox]

what minute is that

[garrethdavis]

@amydawned amen to that!

[habib234]

@amydawned yeh how fucking dare he,,,no better example, those that can't do,,,,interview.......

[Franckdatankpart2]

a nice little album, an ok album, a good album, a fukin great album

[yankees1234577]

larry looks like mark walburgh

[TerryTrust]

i think that he just want some respect for his work cos he put many of him in U2s last album (how to dismatle an atomic bomb). His head is big now so he is rude :). but also i dont think he was realy sobe at that moment.

[mkutz007]

If you ask me, the interviewer was taking a shot at them. Who would ever interview a musican and call their album "a nice little album". The answer is NO ONE!. If you ask me, id say that that was pretty rude.

[ferdelance618]

HAHA Larry's face as soon as the interviewer says "nice new record"

and Bono "nice doesnt work either" he's so cute!

Larry the entire time looks like he wants to fly across the room at the interviewer heehee!

[miarrem]

if looks could kill, this guy would be gone -you can just see it on Larry and Bono's face!

[newpixeldude]

After you spend so many months, or years on writing songs, producing and putting together a whole fucking record and all it takes, the most stupid thing someone could say about it is "hey It´s nice"... I agree with Bono

[nigmil]

bono has such a superiority complex it's unbelieveable - what a dick

[bobafettfreak]

larrys tryin so hard to not be a dick

[LoveAndPeaceOrElsee]

shut up idiot

[gustavo34787]

and you`re trying so hard to not be a idiot

[vers111]

LOL! XD

[ieshaparsons]

pop muzik

[Sk8terboyzgurl77]

LOL thats cute...Bono's got a cute laugh

[sally55510]

You can tell Bono and Larry where on the edge of their nerves lol

[clockIzTicking]

He's talking about the Atomic Bomb album? I think he was being generous calling it 'nice'

[Mr3lectric]

What are you smoking? Atomic Bomb is one of the better records of the 21st century.

[originalquinn]

loooooooooool:D

[HOZZY7U2]

u could tell that larry was getting a little pissed off

[ajaxrulzz]

Haha Never heard him laugh :P

[Nailersy]

The interview guy is taking the piss. ffs. Where's your sense of humour.

[TITANIUMTOMCAT]

The interview guy should be dragged down Oconnel street naked and then impaled on u2 tower

[ellonche]

"The guy doing this interview is the definition of stupid. Insulting the music of the band you're interviewing is not a good career move. "An OK album"...what an idiot. Bono should have bitch slapped him."

...my thoughts exactly.

[amydawned]

The guy doing this interview is the definition of stupid. Insulting the music of the band you're interviewing is not a good career move. "An OK album"...what an idiot. Bono should have bitch slapped him.

[mhmmXitsXkelly]

"nice little album" if som1 said that 2 me bout my album id say the same thing bono said

[scottyrockstheshow]

we dont want racism in our country.

[radiokevin]

not sure if it has any correlation, but for back problems, larry finally took someones' advice and getting shots of bulls blood...no lie! said the back pain disappeared. maybe that's some anti aging thing also. but i don't think we could afford it. damn.

[ayebour]

bono kills the interviewer, ha!

[Kriyn]

All I could think of while watching this video: What anti-wrinkle cream is Larry using!?!!

[ayebour]

haha

[Teacat749]

@Kriyn I know, right?! He looks 20!

[MissSunFlower94]

I think that bono meant that it was fake sounding. Like if you really liked something you wouldn't just call it "nice" there are plenty better words you could use to describe it now that he's kind of saying that the interviewer was stupid for JUST calling the album "nice"

[TiteFly]

Ass is such a shitty place

[tripthruwires]

Let me amend that. Bono's pissed as hell.

LMAO!

[un100n]

larry larry larry!! sin duda el cuarenton mas hermosoooooooooooooooooooooooo :D

[Larrymullenjrlover7]

ummmm how do I say this?

si!es el mas hermosooooo!!!!!

[philichfin]

you said it buddy

[tripthruwires]

this interviewer is an idiot

[tripthruwires]

I love it

"Nice albums won't work either."

[inesju]

I agree. """Better than nice""". Idiot.

[xcualquiera]

lol that last simle of bono..."you´re such a funny jerk"

[jaybird714]

ROCK N ROLL KILLED U2

[Jennyfriendsu2]

Man, how many did him drink that day?

[HungryVermilingua]

Bono is a Tax Dodger.

[saudades]

Bono is soooo drunk on this interview :D

[xcualquiera]

Not drunk. I would get angry with that question. A very simulated kindness with "nice" in it, he would use the same words to ask any other band.

[saudades]

He's not angry :) He's drunk, just look at his smile, his posture! Apparently he doesn't like the "nice" journalist, and I guess he just had a few shots before the interview... this is it.

[xcualquiera]

He was not, i would be

[tripthruwires]

He's either drunk (I doubt it), or he realizes this interviewer is an idiot way ahead of time. To me, that's Bono's cynical look.

[Vertigo190]

my dick was drunk but bono wasnt i can assure you that.

[solittle40]

it's so true.

[kajsie]

Bono: o_o Larry: ó_ò

Nice is such a shitty word!

[U2fan003]

this is great! so funny! [I didnt say nice coz its a shitty word! lol - I will Follow Bono!]

[doichekonnecktion]

bono's a cunt!

[jagrobbie]

haha it looks like larry is about to punch this guy anny time xD

[lalaliciousx101]

this is scarii

[zizzou23]

finally this video is back like for some reason it had to be deleted because it says shit in it.

[tarbalien]

Bono and Larry look like thye freaking hate this guy. Hahaha.
