| New U2 stage revealed
It's called 'The Claw' apparently..
164ft tall
120 trucks to cart it all about
4 full arena sized PA systems
I know they've got a reputation for big shows, but this just looks silly.. I think they might have got a bit too far.

The thing I like about Bono is that he's a straight talking, genuine sort. Sure, taking a monstrous, whimsical extravagance like this on a world tour demonstrates profound indifference to the environmental impact of his activities and sets a hideously bad example, but at least he doesn't go around like a smug-pussed midget in flying goggles preaching about how us proles should adjust our ethical perspective.

Bonio is always banging on about giving money to charidee... dont see him giving any of his millions to help.
Anyway.. huge stage sets like this are a great tax dodge..

He claims he has a need to wear sunglasses all the time because his eyes have this condition where they're really sensitive to light.

"Although he uses Bono as his stage name, close family and friends also refer to him as Bono, including his wife and fellow band members."

Surely, in this time of financial crisis, they actually are helping others due to employing a shitload of crew for the 120 trucks to cart it all about and 4 full arena sized PA systems?
Or are we all meant to huddle under blankets, not enjoying any form of entertainment, until someone says "financial crisis over"? | |
