Mr. Macphisto - The devil in Bono!

[91aztecking]

how could you have a U2 vid but not U2 music lol

[91aztecking]

@91aztecking oops wait it is lol i've just never heard of it



[BudPeters44]

most people do not realize who Bono is portraying in the photo 20 second mark..and a few others..but it's Nero..the Roman who Killed Christians and used their bodies to put on crosses along the path ways to light up the walking area so they could see ..he slaughtered more Christians than any other Devil..And he has fans ?? Sick

the best rockstar in the world

[dtpc191991]

I think MacPhisto should actually be a Batman villan.

[WiseSpirit18]

@dtpc191991

Joel Schumacher, was actually going to put him in Batman Forever, but he and Bono decided it was not suitable.

[wrightherewrightnow9]

I love watching clips from the Zoo TV Era, but there's something about Macphisto that unsettles me and creeps me out! But then again, I suppose that's the whole point of the character! When I see him doing that jittery walk and talking in that posh English accent, I have to force myself to remember that the real Bono is still inside! Epic band, unmatched now and always.

[WiseSpirit18]

@wrightherewrightnow9

I always tend to forget myself that it was actually Bono. He did it so well! Plus now days when you see Bono, you have to think to yourself.....Were you really MacPhisto? He did it so well, it seems like MacPhisto was a real person and it wasnt Bono playing him.

@WiseSpirit18

ever heard of ppl being possessed willingly.... beyonce is sasha fierce. bowie was ziggy stardust...ect ect.... it's more real than ppl think.

[xcualquiera]

They want you to be jesus, they don't even wear a devil, will you be alive by 33..?

[caesarnaywin]

the lyrics go "They want you to be jesus, They will go down on one knee, they want their money back if your are alive at 33..." i think

[xcualquiera]

yeah, but mine was a message, not a lyricc.

[apatheticemoticon]

What is the name of this song?

[2001chanticleergirl]

"hold me thrill me kiss me kill me"

it is from the batman forever soundtrack

[cantsingbutgotsoul]

Well done!!!

[U2fan003]

Thanks!!

[jeremy5119]

WOOH U2 one of the best bands ever. I love how during ZooTV he dressed up as Macphisto, The Fly, and Mirror Man

[fortitude78]

It was all about the shoes :)

[U2fan003]

PLATFORMS :D :D :D :D

[sixstringglory]

The shoes were the worst part.

[ray1bradbury]

sixstringglory:

Not shoes - Platforms! :D :D :D :D

I love this song, very sexie, heehee.

"You don't know what you're doin' babe it must be art" + "In the headlights of a stretchcar you're a star" :)

[CharredFox]

He knew we like our pop stars to be exciting-- that's why he bought them.

[thephantasm2000]

Mr MacPhisto needs to come back down from his ZOOtv satellite cuz the world is a mess without him !!!

[CharredFox]

heh. The world was a mess because of him, that was the point; but maybe if he came back we'd understand for a while?

[thephantasm2000]

Yeah, now that the Bush administration is coming to an end, we need a new guy to blame. LOL

[CharredFox]

I dunno. Bush screwed up. He screwed up -bad-, and he's by no means a good president.

But it was under his administration that the US gave the most money we've done in history towards relief in Africa. That's why there's pictures of him and Bono together so much.

[thephantasm2000]

And a very noble gesture of course. But we all know that it's cuz of Bono & Bob Geldof and friends, who put pressure on the G8 with live 8 and the make poverty history campaign, that made our governments review their africa policy.

[Pay4MyDryCleanin]

This is the first song I heard of them that made me a fan. HAHAHA! Of all songs this one! I got a bat man comic book and this single cd was in it, I still have the cd, I was in 6th grade,ahha.

[davidnc76]

bring him back. seeing the zoo tv tour and living that moment has got to be one of my greatest moments in concert history.

[antohewson]

great video, i like so much U2 and MacPhisto!! They make me crazy!

[U2fan003]

lol yea they make me crazy too!

Thanks!

[skryber232]

3:06 is the best pic of Macphisto I have ever seen.

[U2fan003]

Yea that one's awesome!!

[dsignrdane]

that's exactly what i thought

[cbono69]

bono took the elvis,,morrison,,frank,,,and dean to the point..He took glam and made it cool...A mirrior will do you good...All in all i used these people to make my high so much more..cbono

[TriplexBergin]

MacPhisto was a cross between the devil and a washed-up rock star who lost his way for the glamorous life and ended up in Las Vegas in the same manner as Elvis. It was continuing the trend of Bono taking the piss out of himself - the Fly sort of represented his present self and MacPhisto was his professed future. Cool pics by the way, "you're doing a bang-up job of filling (the screen with)the old man's shoes"

[U2fan003]

Thanks!! =]

[Rock2U2Forever]

I love this alter ego!!COME BACK MACPHITSO!!We love you!!Great job on this video.

[U2fan003]

Thanks again!

Everyone loves Macphisto!!

[MissMysteriousWays]

I swear to God...Bono is such the showman...what is the real story behind Mr. MacPhisto!

I read U2byU2 and he never really went into detail about how and why he created him...but he sure beat the hell out of Fly!

Great pic U2fan003!

Keep um coming!

[U2fan003]

Hey!

Bono once said that Macphisto represents Elvis and the devil, and he got the name from some movie... don't know why he created him but I liked the idea!!

Thanks for all your comments!!

[U2fan003]

Hey again!

I was just reading a bit from U2 by U2 right now and there's something about Macphisto on page 248 I think... there's alot on The Fly - page 224 the third paragraph by Bono... when I was reading them you came to my head lol

[UltimateMrBoogie]

I agree! MacPhisto rules!

Hope you don't mind me tagging my video to yours - I'll get more hits being tagged to this - it's great!

ZooTV forever!

[U2fan003]

Yea Macphisto is awesome!!

No problem for the vids responses! Thanks infact!

Hope that Bono does something new or maybe he brings Mac or the Fly!

Thanks!

[StephLeeds]

I love this! Where did you get all the pics from though? There's so many I haven't seen before :S

[U2fan003]

hey!

i got them from BonoOnline and Macphisto . net

Thanks!
