  • @karezza1 you havent heard of John Lydon then lol

  • @karezza1 he was 41 in this interview... i think now he just dyes his hair to his natural to cover the grey hairs

  • @karezza1 Women do it.

  • @karezza1 whats wrong with dying your hair?

  • bono you frikkin moron

  • the only thing i hate about bono is that he keeps trying to tell us about his campaign with africa, he wants to help a 3rd world country, fine give them your money, you don't need to tell us africa needs help, we know that! leave it to people that actually know what they are doing, same thing with other celebrities, you really think some african child wants to play football with a pro athlete, no! they probably have to walk 5 or more miles to get fresh water for their families.

  • Admire you both more so.....

  • yea yea yea yea ye YE EYA YEA YEA YEA YEA YEA YEA YEA YEA YEA

  • He's Irish? Where's his accent?

  • @WandererInWonderland i thought the same thing! but sometimes, esp when he talks rather fast you can hear the irish accent! ;)

  • @Wafelvogel Yeah, a little. It's a pity. Irish accents are lovely.

  • @WandererInWonderland

    Yea Bono is from Dublin like me, but I sound very different!

  • legends die like: Kurt Cobain, Jimmy hendrix, elvis presley, nirvana bandsinger, michael jackson etc and they all had a bad name because of drugs etc. U2 is more then legend and thats why they are still living. Bono still has got the same girlfriend before he was rich and famous, the same manager etc. All the ones who hate Bono doenst know him and they have seen to much south park. U2

  • Well said moonlily1! The majority of people are jealous and envious of those who succeed in general and enjoy seeing someone fail.

  • he looks like john terry

  • Hello everyone, I'm BONO!!!

    I just wanted to let know that I really appreciate all you're comments. I'm getting a bit emotional right because of all the warmth and admiration you all have for me.

    THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! xoxo :) I Love you.

  • lol i love his point about other celebrities. i just went to his concert in seattle for the 360 tour and he tied all of his songs into world problems. it was incredible. you don't see kesha expressing concerns about africa and the middle east..and then singing a meaningless piece of shit like blah blah blah.

  • @bellavator94 Good point. I'm not sure Kesha could find the rest of the world on a map. Bono doesn't grandstand for himself or the band. He makes a point to make others aware of how to make the world a better place.

  • @bellavator94 ke$ha's actually a very smart, conscientious girl. did a big benefit concert for the flood here in her hometown of nashville last year. i get your point, just don't think you picked the best example.

  • bono does do alot of work for charity so it's a good thing..the bad thing is it's predominantly to boost his ego and make himself look like a modern day saint.

    for every pound I give to charity bono should give 10,000 I would be happy to oblige.

  • I'm a U2 fan and even I admit Bono is annoying. But if the world finds somebody annoying, it is a sign they're making an incredible impact. Good on him for being annoying, for putting pressure on Bush to TREBLE aid in Africa and pushing for the debt to be dropped. If you're not annoying somebody, you're playing it safe :)

  • @lukasmayo pressure on bush?? what has bush got to do with aid in africa?

  • Comment removed

  • he is such a wonderful man.

  • im irish and , i think bono has a strange accent who agrees

  • Bono's very good live, dont even care what he's like, he's got damn good stage presence.

  • Why is everyone so shitty to this guy? He's smart, funny, charming, interesting, and good at what he does. And if he's such an insufferable egomaniac, supposedly, it's worth noting that he's get the same friends/bandmates, business associates, and WIFE he's had for over 20 yrs, which is exceedingly rare for even modestly famous individuals. He can't be that much of a dick.

  • @moonlily1 I have a friend who lives in New York, met a ton of famous people, said Bono was the nicest man he's ever met...he's a great inspiration to me.

  • @moonlily1 ...hell yeah, damn good point man.

  • @ToolFan68 If he's a bit short of modesty, at least he's got the goods to back it up. There are way less accomplished people who are just as or even more full of themselves.

  • @moonlily1 A part of the answer to your question might actually (sadly) be South Park. The episode they did with Bono goes a bit too far and some people don't really get comedy and satire and take the shit Matt and Trey say very literally.

  • Self righteous prat.

  • To all you idiots who says Bono needs to give everything away, how much do you give to charity every year? Oh wait, your a middle class AMERICAN who can't sacrifice some Starbucks money for some african child. Whose the hypocrite now?

  • @stealthwolf1 Hey moron, we are not going on tv lecturing people who are poorer than us that we should give our hard earned money away to thrid world nations famous for corruption. We also don't have high priced accountant to hide our money in dutch accounts so we can avoid paying taxes. The only hypocrites are the limo liberals like Bozo who talk about giving money to the poor but NEVER do it themselves. Prove Bozo donated a million to the poor. You can't of course. I rest my case

  • Bono is such a chill guy

  • We just had the most fantastic U2inSL concert doing the Sept 18th concert from France. Come on in and have a look ,

    search for Second Life and then inworld XLR8RRICK I will help you.

  • Bono your band is great but FUCK Africa! Savages that have been pissin in their own drinking water since they climbed out of the trees. And dont tell us to help the poor while wearing a $1,000 leather jacket and $300 shades you fuckin hypocrite.

  • @hogwillie

    1st of all you don't know how much that cost he coulda got that at walmart.

    and 2nd of all he's got millions of dollars and he spends i'd say 50 percent of it to charities all over the world, and he's still got millions of dollars left over i think he can buy himself a nice pair of sunglasses.

  • @hogwillie You're a fucking moron. Helping others does not mean you can't enjoy the life you've built for yourself. What, he has to live in a one bedroom duplex and wear sweat pants and $8 sunglasses bought at a gas station to be taken seriously? Pull your fucking head out you jackass.

  • @Hallucination Hey dickbag, Bozo lobbies our govt to make us pay hirer taxes to support corrupt third world countries. Meanwhile he hides his wealth from the Irish tax system. He spends millions on lavish homes, jets, cars. Then goes on TV telling us to donate 40 cents a day to save an aids child. What a f#cking hypocrite. This fool has never donated his millions to anything other than to promoting himself thru some phony charity. his one campaign is under FRAUD investigation

  • @kellykinsellives Right on!

  • @hogwillie i kno this is just youtube, so i cant really judge u from this comment, and also that u are entitled to ur oppinion, but i have to say, u seem to be quite an asshole

  • @hogwillie Dude, whats wrong with african wanting to live their lives that way, nothing, just because the rest of the world is getting civilized, they should too, fuck you, now, not all of them choose to live thier lives that way, but there are alot of tribes worldwide that want to live their lives without technology like their ancestors, and bono should just stick to giving them his money and he should quit telling us what we already know.

  • does anyone else see the irony when bono pleads to the working class to help world poverty while wearing a pair of 20 grand shades.

  • MY HEART BE STILL!

  • I'M TIRED OF THIS MIDDLE AGED ASSHOLE GOING ON MEET THE PRESS TRYING TO SCAM THE AMERICAN TAXPAYER FOR MORE FORIEGN AID! ESPECIALLY WHEN WE ARE IN A RECESSION. STOP BITCHING ASSHOLE AND APPLY SOME MORE HAIR DYE TO WHATS LEFT.

  • My dream man

  • I love Bono!!!!

  • Dave is a Liberal Tool.

  • Bono. so awesome

  • Bono and the boys are the best!

  • @aorxx his American accent comes and goes he had probably been in America for a while back then but if you here a recent interview with him now the irishness is back

  • Im suprised about his accent,Im from Dublin and i do not sound half american its probly cos he's so used to being around american accents.

  • @aorxx I'm from Alberta, Canada and I just tarvelled through Europe for 65 days. I spent most of my time hanging out with Australians and sharing hostel rooms with them. By the second week I was developing an Aussie accent haha. It happens.

  • he don't half lick america's arse

  • very very good!!!!

  • whats with the fucken accent????

  • He has one hot daughter :D

  • i love bono, i would catch a bullet for him

  • why does everyone hate bono? and if u hate him and still watch videos with him in it u must be jealous

  • Haha the automatic youtube subtitles fail when Bono speaks :P

  • why is he speaking half in an american accent?!ur irish!

  • @xxxoranxxx That's how Irish people sound. They do sound "half American".

  • @yurismir1 No we dont. Bono has just picked up a US accent from exposure.

  • @troykeenanguitar "Exposure" huh? You're so dirty.

  • @yurismir1 Erm - nope, we don't lol!

  • which one is Sting?

  • @khunopie fuck u

  • All this interviews are so flat, most of tehm are propaganda.

    Bono is good to defend anyone, BUT has no guts to defend the Palestinians - why can't he speaks against the sionist wall apartheid?

  • @Reasonable99pct Because he's not a politician, not a rockstar you fuckin asshole. He's using his self-admitted "bullshit" celebrity fo something that made an impact on his life when he visited Africa back in the early 80's. If you want a musician to champion every issue, dont hold your breath. WAIT, on second thought, HOLD YOUR BREATH, indefinitely. Thanks!

  • ♫♪in reverence♫♪ the rare u2 album trumps are now on ebay.....enjoy♫♪

  • Ever notice how Bono bangs on about Africa in between Albums to keep his profile up? Can people not see through this phoney?

     How is the white mans burden going for you Bono? You pretentious prick!

  • To a certain degree I agree.

  • (Yawn)

    I think you're putting false images into the media.

    Don't think less of someone if they are trying to help others.

  • and when I mean others, I mean people who live in Third World Countries.

  • @gaythanbenderson Yeah, huh. (douchebag)

  • Obvious troll.

  • He was so much other than nowadays in 2009/10. He was like "I don't give a sh*t!" But he does! :) I love this Bono! ;)

  • that was funny, irish wit forever outdoing all begrudgers.good job bono.

  • 1.00 really american accent, faker.

  • i agree when did he develop that hes lways had a dub accent?

  • He has an american accent here...

  • Bono is rich and he deserves it. Everybody fight to be someone in life and he made it, good for him.

    At the same time he finds the time to travel all over the world to help people, charities, created the ONE organization, etc. so whats wrong to enjoy the money that you earned with sacrifice and talent?

  • @gonzalocampos good say... I dislike how people think that if he wants to help the world he NEEDS to not be rich... he can't have money otherwise he doesn't really want to help anyone... I just dislike that kind of thinking... I mean 30 something years of work, deserve a pay!

  • i wonder how the show's band felt with bono in the same room as they played their music.

    haha. bono was proabably thinking how bad they sucked.

  • so he's rich? So what? And as fucked-up as Africa is...that's probably where the son of God would be, should he return. He saw dying and suffering and tried to help....HOW AWFUL!!

  • a wayne husseys`s copy

  • lol

  • How come you attack Bono for being rich when you profile says 'I'm very very very rich and clever'.

    who's the hypocrite now.

  • guess your not a fan of bono lolol

  • He is a bit.... but every country should have one

  • go irish!

    don't have too many of thier songs but they're one of my favorite bands ever.

  • really*

  • lol. i didn't even know who Bono was til today. my mom left for Italy yesterday, and she called today and told me that when she landed in Rome, Bono from U2 was checking in his baggage, right next to her. i was like "who the hell is that?" lol. so i had to get on youtube to find out who he was.

  • How did she see him in Rome since he's in the US touring? Hmm?

  • idk. but this is what happened. she was talking to her friend who was standing next to her, and she asked her friend a question. her friend didn't realize that my mom was talking to her. so Bono was in front of my mom, and i guess he thought that my mom was talking to HIM, so he answered her question. then my mom's friend started taking pics of my mom and Bono. afterwards, my mom asked her friend why she was taking pics. and her friend told her that it was Bono from U2. my mom didn't even KNOW.

  • how much does that bonehead dip in his pocket to give not a lot i would think if he likes to save the world start by paying taxes in the uk or ireland worse than scum mps all two faced thievs sell up and go and live in africa

  • South Park is right...hes a nice dude but he still seems like such a douche for some reaosn.

  • I love Oasis.

  • Does anyone besides you even remember Oasis?

  • Most adults know of Oasis.

  • And you are the most retarded, distasteful person in the world.

  • I can assure you, you wouldn't say that to my face. Stay brave little keyboard warrior.

  • Considering I have defending U2 against bigger assholes than you in real life... yes, I probably actually would, ignorant, self-righteous internet jackass.

  • Yeah, of course you would. You do appear very big & brave. Not many people would be so aggressive behind a keyboard.

  • K. Cool. You appear very stupid and you should probably go die, preferably right now.

  • so U2 are more overated than the Jonas Brothers? well I guess thats you opinion then.

  • omg! U2 is the biggest band ever, they have made some of the greatest songs of all time and some of the greatest albums. What more do you ask from them?

  • Well i have to agree, i love stones, pink floyd and some zeppelin songs, but come on! U2 has been the biggest band in the world since the joshua tree album. They are pioneers, they have changed the live performences. And there sound is from another planet. There're unique.

  • @roggbyv

    Rubbish.

  • @roggbyv Wow how does Bono's dick taste? Another fucking planet?! No...it's still shit from this one. Get your head out of your ass.

  • @Foomypoo You're a flat out loser. Nice comments moron.

  • @Foomypoo I'm glad that you ask, it tastes like it's from another planet :D

  • @roggbyv So were all those other bands when their times came and passed.

  • Can I ask the question nobody has ever asked? What is soo overrated about them? Seriously I want to know!!

  • Geez, what is all this talk about his accent? Ever been to Dublin? They all sound like Americans.

    I'm guessing that is why Americans sound like Americans. We had to get the accent somewhere and we sure as hell didn't get it from the English.

  • No, Americans sound like the Irish (& you got your language from the English).

  • dafarreller and TheDerekdub.. obviously bitter and jealous. Now that's an Irish trademark.

  • cunt, i fuck ur mother every night

  • only up the ass.

  • There are loads of irish girls in my class their accentt are very similar wiv the american i reckon

  • I am Irish. I'm following U2 for the last 30 years. I'm an authority on this and i can honestly say bono occasionally pronounces certain words in an American accent. He gets lots of stick for it over here

  • i remember when bono got the u2 dopplegangers together and then tht didnt work out so they got ao=nother group of people todo it with the original bass player . my favourite guy in the dopplegangers was the drummer mainly becuase he is my dad , lol no joke

  • he has a posh Irish accent its Irish stop arguing

  • just shut the fuck up about his accent.. listen to the words..

  • That's a pure Irish accent.

  • abono

  • if that is an american accent then i am michael jackson

  • He is talking with an American accent because Americans cannot understand a northside Dublin accent ffs!

  • how come he is speaking in an american accent when he is from the north side of dublin

  • bc he's been around americans for about 35 years? he got the accent from them

  • that is a pure Irish accent and if thats American than i am Britney Spears!!

  • fuck off yank

  • WTF??

  • That is an Irish accent...

  • He looks better with long hair

  • y is he putting on an american accent?

  • He has probably acumulated it over the years of talking with Americans

  • oh and u no him do u? theres nothing wrong with trying to save the world buddy at least someones doing it rather than u sitting behind a computer blabbling shit because u cant do it in person bcoz u have no balls u should b ashamed its ppl like u that bring the world down u half glass fuk peace and love or else!!!

  • how is he talkin in a american accent ? He's just talking in his natural subtle irish accent

  • why is he talking in a an american accent?

  • is there somebody who can write out this interview? I'm Italian and I can't understand everyhing :( you'll help me a lot, thank u :)

  • I love the guy for ALL the reasons the haters hate him. Thanks to the haters for giving me the inspiration. GOD bless the haters. :)

  • What the go at the start of this video, he extends his neck and says something. It looks like he said 'stop it'. He looks fairly angry when hes doing it. Can any irish read what he is saying?

  • and the man is doing the best he can for the great world we live in YOU better get off ur "half glass" mentality box "QUICK"

  • What's the story with his accent?

  • He's Irish.

  • well you see hes irish ......fool

  • Well where's his Irish accent then??? Maybe I'm a fool. But I am Irish, and any Irish fool can hear he speaks Irish accent when he wants to be liked by the Irish, then he talks like a Yank when he's sspeaking to that market. And i just looked back at the beginning of the thread now. So I'm not the only fool then

  • no but you're still a fool

  • oooh touché - got me there.

  • I bet he's doing a lot more than your are...

  • i respect your opinion but at least his trying all u ppl do is sit around waiting for your "goverment" to save u and tell u that everything is good at least this guy stands up for what he loves and believes in and ur going to judge him for that the only way to get by in this world is to be self righteous and do whats good for yourself give me a call when u have made 17 albums

  • I LOVE BONO!

    Hes Irish too like me which is a slight advantage!x

  • if some of u hate Bono why r u here? why r u watching this video??u actually take ur time and log in YouTube just to write crap about this (or any other) celebrity?? u really r nut case! :)

  • Personally, I have a weird masochistic streak. I actually watch a lot of Creed performances and interviews too...Yeah, nutcase I guess.

  • I like cutting myself too

  • i love bono... God Bless you brother

  • Bono rocks, "FUCK YOU!" to all who hate him :D
