U2 Live - Bono Angry: Madison Square Garden

Bono does not like it when you are in the front row talking on a cell phone instead of watching the concert!

[@MarcAl79]

Is that all? There's nothing outrageous about this. And Bono is not yelling, he says: "Put down your fucking phone. You're at a concert, alright? Christ. Hi mom I'm in the middle of Sunday Bloody Sunday it's really going off here bye" And you know what, Bono is right. You're at a concert. If I was the performer and somebody right in front of me would start talking on the phone I would get annoyed to.

[@careyjohn0144]

+Marc Al If I paid hundreds to stand a few feet away from this moron singing, I think I can take a pic every now and again without being hurled profanities by the man that lives a luxurious lifestyle thanks to his fans. And I wouldn't particularly like his stupid American accent, either.

[@gingerrhodes230]

I Agree!! with!! you!! Greenguy67 He should!! not!! have!! Disrespect!! her like that.!! he was!! Rude!! Also!!.he is A idiot!! & moron!!. I Guess!! he forgot,!! or!! whatever!! if it was not for his fans, buying His Albums, he And his band members, will not have been Rich.he should be treating his fans with Respect And kindness All the time.she have the right to take pictures, of Him. she paid lots of money, for that concert, And she was in the front Row.

[@TeamBabylon-dp2xf]

Bono overreacted a bit here. There was no need to swear at the Person, he could of simply said “Put your Phone away please” He was probably just having an off day as we all do. I can understand why this Person is upset about this. Think about it, When someone you have looked up to your whole life speaks to you like this in front of thousands of People, it is humiliating! I really hope this Person got an apology of him, because this must of been an awful experience for them. I love Bono, but i think he was a bit nasty here. We should be allowed to use our Phones and enjoy the concert at the same time! We pay good money to see this after all! I don’t care if you disagree with me, I’m entitled to my opinion.

[@DeclanRyanRising]

The "F" word is a comma in Ireland. No one got hurt here. Nowadays he'd have to scold the whole crowd.

[@skyany89]

He's right!!!! you're in a concert, be IN the concert, you'll be able to keep it in your heart forever, better than in a picture.

[@theempire00]

flash forward to the 360 Tour.......... ''Everybody take out your cellphones and lets make this place into the Milky Way''

[@gregmottola8539]

I agree with Bono about being in the moment, but this was more than 10 years ago. Today, every front row of every concert is full of people trying to capture it on their phones rather than being in the moment. Bono lost that battle. A lot of people did.

[@Fyleps]

In the same Vertigo Tour he was asking for cell phones before one, so was not as it happened in a time before the cell phones, he was in his period of celebrity🤪

[@machinehater]

Bono can be a bit much, but I think he's completely right on here. Nobody lives in the moment anymore -- with the encroachment of technology, fewer and fewer people are unable to have unmediated experiences.

[@adelbertomuggler372]

He got angry because u were filming instead of being present and enjoying the moment.

[@zkotz]

It's like Christian Bateman, err, Bale, going ballistic against a sound engineer in recording the last Terminator movie. At some point these egos become the size of an aircraft carrier.

[@TheOriginalRostach]

Wish he did this when there was a guy in front of me recording everything

[@tapnodyl]

Couldn't agree with him more.

[@EilidhMargaret]

If you're gonna pay to watch these amazing men perform songs that they've poured their heart, time, and energy into, give them some respect and enjoy what they're doing for you. So while you whine about how Bono yelled at you in front of a whole concert, think about how you were probably the only person doing that.

[@TeamBabylon-dp2xf]

Yes, we pay to watch them, so they should respect us for being there. We should be allowed to have a good time as well. Why can’t we just respect them and use our phones at the same time? There’s no law to say we can’t use our phones there.

[@ampbains]

I was there...got pulled up on stage that night. Wow...if he yelled at me like that I would have run off crying!!

[@TT_1221]

He's actually right. If you spend your time recording the concert through your phone, you're looking through your phones screen and your memory is not of the show, your memory is of recording the show. I saw them in 2015 and recorded maybe 4 songs, took maybe 4/5 pics and looking back even that was probably too much. You have to be in the moment at a concert otherwise your not really there and you lose an opportunity to have a great memory of it.

[@NateKyng]

I saw their 360 show, and I took no pics, recorded no songs. I remember it like it was yesterday, from the opening song (City of Blinding Lights) to the last song (With Or Without You), and it completely transcended me. It wasn't just a rock concert, it was an experience, one that I won't ever forget.

[@hosoiarchives4858]

I guess his peace message didn't work

[@andrewferguson8032]

He’s a pacifist until his ego gets bruised

[@sroodjim]

Bono's right. The End.

[@caroll7802]

Lmao It's Funny Because Now Everyone Has Their Cell Phones Out !

[@janetbuick9644]

He has spent so many years speaking out about others. It's really lovely that he is speaking out about his OWN (and the band's ) needs!

[@Carlibengarli]

Bono is so fawking kewl!

[@NOWAYNOTME91]

he's mad at her for talking on the fone, not taking a pic of him

[@ed4253]

15 years later, their concerts are filled with folks on their phones

[@andrewferguson8032]

U2 actually created an app for their concerts where you HAD to use your phone. Thanks, Bono!

[@frostytoes686]

Also why does he have to be so harsh with a word like f*ck to someone that is supporting his well financed lifestyle? Its just not nice, and I dont think that he is cool enough to back it up... maybe it was an emergency call! he doesnt know is my point

[@cwbellor]

I've seen them live and it was amazing. I'm a big U2 fan but when Bono goes off on some quasi-poetic rant, I just imagine the other guys in the band being like, "Oh, here he goes again!"

[@Arsenogenics]

@Maarteuh96 um....well actually that's precisely what he does. He attacks her, takes the piss of of what she's "supposed" to be saying and dismisses her as a vacuous dull asshole American. I'd say that's bullying. He's a small man and used to people listening to everything he says. Bottom line is that she paid in to a rock gig and whether he likes it or not she is the client. Actually he's disgraceful in this and I'm a huge U2 fan. Stengweed is correct. This is bullying.

[@michaeljagger7673]

did bono get stuck in a moment and found he couldnt get out of it? he went a bit weird after he told a person to put the phone down.

[@bottleracket]

Sorry - You can't be a kick ass rebel rock star AND lecture the audience about concert etiquette at the same time.

[@CourtyardPigeon]

Yeah, not Bono's best outfit.

[@codeguy1]

Imagine being onstage like that and seeing a wall of cellphones and you're trying to connect with people. He's right, the last few concerts I was at were ruined by selfish idiots with cell phones

[@stayfrostypatrick]

To be honest Bono is right. Live the moment through your eyes not your phones, iPods, or tablets for crying outloud. Only do that if you are down at the bottom near them, but otherwise don't do what this person did. It's much too far away and you get blurry pics anyways. :)

[@holyland08]

what amazing energy and effort he is putting into a song he has sang to us for almost 30 years. He doesn't do this for MORE MONEY. He admits he craves the connection -he feels he is doing a crap job if someone in the first row seems to be chatting on the phone (even thoough she wasn't)

[@oliounidizlove]

??????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.BONO !!!!.Je t'aime bien, mais je ne suis pas un fan crétin, tu dois des excuses à cette personne qui te nourrit et que tu as HUMILILIEE EN PUBLIC !!!.Cette personne qui a payée sûrement plus de 200€ pour te voir au premier rang, cette personne qui rêve de ce concert des mois à l'avance !!!. Cette personne (nous tous !) qui te fait dormir dans un palace tous les soirs !.. Nous sommes en 2015, et tu le sais mieux que personne, TOI qui nous IMPOSES tes clips biz APPLE, à un public qui n'a absolument rien demandé !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Tu oses critiquer des fans qui te filment ou prennent des photos, toi qui le premier, profite de la technologie pour faire ton biz ???. Tu sais très bien, que si, à la fin des années 70, petit fan que tu étais, tu avais eu ces téléphones, que nous avons tous aujourd'hui, tu aurais été LE PREMIER à filmer Bowie ou les Ramones etc .. Mais hélas, c'est visible, tu n'as aucune, aucune mémoire !!!.C'est triste, triste, pathétique, et pire, paradoxal !!.Je serai à Paris-Bercy le 11 novembre, si tu me fais le même coup, oui, comme un autre l'a écris ailleurs, je te fous mon tel sur la gueule !!!. Il y aura toujours quelqu'un d'autre pour filmer la scène !!!. Tu chantes et tu te tais !!!. Tu n'humilies pas ton pubic (clients ?:)), tu le respectes, et tu dis merci, merci, merci, merci !!!.Tu dois des excuses publiques personnelles à cette personne, c'est à dire, nous tous !!!. Again, thank you for the your Apple sect !!!!!!!.Donnes-nous encore des leçons !!!!!. !Fuckin' phone !!!. Fuckin' Apple ???, no words !!!!!? Of course !!!.:)

[@heretik56]

+oliounidizlove franchement fermes ta bouche déjà le concert en question est du vertigo en 2005 et les casseurs de couilles avec vos portables c'est juste insupportables pour ceux à cotés et le pire c'est pour filmer de la merde avec un appareil de merde !! putain tu vas à un concert profites de ton concert. J'étais le 11/11 et le 06/12 j'ai apprécié les voir et après je télécharge et j'achèterais le DVD de la tournée avec des belles images !! Fuck the téléphone !!!!!!!

[@lilli9822]

I bet he wouldn't dare tell the same thing now since everybody in concerts are holding a smartphone

[@MedalionDS9]

I think sometimes Irish/British humor is lost on people for how dry and sarcastic it can be, which comes across as mean spirited... I don't think he was blasting her seriously

[@martilook]

@holyland08 I agree with you in 100 %. But poor girl.

[@ViciousMandy32]

Brain explosion alert. Get over yourself Bono. Everyone in view has their hands up, so what if someone was using a phone. What a way to drag the whole crowd down.

[@NateKyng]

Yeah, what a way to drag the whole crowd down, who didn't actually stop dancing, cheering or singing loudly to the music!

[@DirtyDayMix]

Bono is right. Put your phone away.

[@paulquinn-compassrose614]

u2 lost feeling after Joshua tree... and gained money???

[@zenalaus]

1) Bono is 1 of the most major heterosexual sex-symbols on the planet. 2) He's not gay but whether someone is or not, 'gay' is not a put-down & shouldn't be used as one. 3) No one cares much what someone thinks who has ANYTHING negative to say at all about this performance which is one of the most incredible & majorly IMPORTANT & interesting & extraordinary performances ever of 'Sunday Bloody Sunday.' (P.S. my use of caps is not shouting here. It's just italics. You & I are co-existing.) :)

[@fastrelief]

10 years later crowds at concerts are all with cellphones in their hand but Bono likes making money so he tours anyways. He still had to have his hair transplant here.

[@Studio2770]

Late to this comment but Bono probably realized it's an uphill battle.

[@U2SaxFan]

Bono made a brief comment about someone talking (or at least he thought was talking) on their cell phone. All he said is put it down you're at a concert. I don't see what everyone's making a big deal about. I mean wouldn't you say something to someone if you were performing at a concert and right in front of you, in the front row, someone is talking on their phone instead of watching your band perform?

[@gingerrhodes230]

I Would not Curse At them.

[@brenner5147]

Lol you've seen what Axl Rose pulls when something gets thrown on stage. This ain't shit.

[@georgs5750]

yeah, In my opinion you are right; on the one hand I think it´s a bad trend to film instead of enjoying the concert; but on the other hand as a star you have to deal with the individual "needs" of the fans of the first row. To have a smartphone and to film nearly anything is the trend now and you can´t condemn the people for being with the megatrend.

[@TeamBabylon-dp2xf]

But he didn't just say put it down did he? He just told them to get the fuck off it. There's better ways he could of dealt with it, instead of swearing at them.

[@lastdaysguitar]

Diva = Bono = needs humility.

[@fortheloveoftunes]

Yeap and with all the money he´s making every minute and this girl has paid the ticket so sing you angry 2:02 pissed megastar .-)

[@SilverDragon1994]

I think he shows his "highly show skills" at this video - turned angry into the interesting part of concert. This is a masterpiecie IMO ^^

[@DuffPaddy1]

Fuck! All those years and he's still THAT intense!

[@oliounidizlove]

Bono, why not fuckin' Apple ????.Fuckin' telephon's fans , is much easy, I think !!.

[@bobjames1992]

Bono isn't right. The person paid their money to be there they should be able to do what they want. They could fall asleep for all anyone cares and Bono would still get his money. Who is paying who here for doing what?

[@MusicMasterTasmania]

Bob James No. Just no. So, you're saying that people pay their money to do whatever they want at a concert? Why even go to the fucking concert then? You pay hard earned money at a concert to EXPERIENCE that show. That is something you will never get again, so take in every little bit that you can. I hate these idiots who go to concerts and get drunk and end up forgetting the night. You might as well go out and get pissed at a bar! People actually want to spend 100+ or 200+ dollars to go to a concert they won't even remember? Its breath takingly stupid! Also, speaking as a musician, a lot of performers, especially Bono, are egomaniacs. A lot of us do not like when people aren't paying attention to the music we're giving our heart and soul to. I don't think with U2 that its just about the money. There is a certain passion and cause they go with to their concerts. For people to not be paying attention to what they're doing is an insult to Bono's ego haha

[@truemanc]

Bono is old and a bit grumpy! dont take it to heart :D

[@radomiriz]

I appreciate Bono was caught up in the moment but what he did and said was outrageous. I'd be super-pissed at him. I'd have thrown the phone at him. I'm a life-long U2 fan and I'd have been pissed. I probably wouldn't have had my camera out either, well I might have had it out a bit.

[@frostytoes686]

maybe the guy wasnt feeling the concert and was dragged there by friends and just needed to make a call or maybe he was so excited he wanted to share his feelings with someone he loved some where else. Either way why cant Bono just focus on his MUSIC? I dont feel im wasting my time, just sharing my opinion like many do on youtube. And from what I can tell your doing the same. Maybe you are just really into this group and it bothers you im not : )

[@MegaTrainspotter]

Although i hate people with cell-phones at concerts myself...I think bono was very unprofessinal here..People pay a lot of money to go to a u2 show and should be treated with a lot more respect than this.During recent concerts bono WAS encouraging people to hold-up their cellphones..I don't get it..

[@daisyduck0285]

I love U2 but come on, Bono your head has gotten big. Remember she obviously is a fan that paid for a ticket to your concert and that money goes in your pocket. Be cafeful who you bark at. Oh by the way BONO, check out how many cell phones were taking photos at the 360 tour this year.

[@scwagcom]

Forgotten where all your money came from. In the trailer too long ....

[@guitarhero73]

My favorite one ever of Bono going off on a fan is when they would play People Get Ready (I believe it was during the Joshua Tree tour) during performances. I found an audio copy way back when Napster huge. Bono stops in the middle of the song after asking who wants to play his guitar to tell some guy, "Listen guy, one more piece of shit out of you and you're out of here. I don't care if you paid for the front row." There was a bit more to the conversation but I can't remember the rest.

[@TT_1221]

I remember seeing him singing "All I want is you" live on stage and some guy threw a plastic cup of water at him, possibly with ice, and he ducked and points at him and says "All I want is you Pal!" 😁 I can't see the incident on YT it might have been part of a DVD show or something.

[@ronnieneo]

She is there because she loves you Bono, and she payed a lot of money for the privilege of seeing you live so let her take as many pictures as she wants.........and this is from a huge U2 fan, not a Bono hater.

[@gingerrhodes230]

I !!Agree!! with you Mr Blue sky

[@kencrowley4573]

Mr Blue Sky and a bit

[@rickytpb6146]

It's about 'living in the moment' though, ESPECIALLY when you're on the GA floor!! And everyone on that floor is supposed to be ONE!! (not quoting song btw, haha) , and when one idiot is NOT into it, it can disrupt others around them WHO ALSO PAID GOOD MONEY TO SEE U2! .... so fyi, if i was next to her i would've also told that bitch to get off the phone!! LOL

[@NateKyng]

I paid money to see them. I told the dumb bitch in front of me to stop recording the concert and indulge herself. I wanna see the show, not a bright ass little screen.

[@jofujenkins]

i have to say that after seeing U2's most recent jaunt thru D.C., i was especially bothered by Bono's bullshit ramblings about this, that, and the other. i literally said aloud, "just sing the fucking song!" i must be getting old. when i was 17, i swooned when Bono did stuff like this. now, at 30, i realize that a rock show is where i want to go to ESCAPE the shit he's always preaching about. - and its funny to hear him ramble about "co-existence" after bitching at a kid in the front row.

[@gerry5468]

I almost always stick up for him but this is a low point for him. Plus the rap and jammy take is mediocre. I saw the philly 2005 show ..prob the best of that tour and an outstanding show. I hope his daughter doesnt have to get yelled at by her hero.he knows he was wrong. U2 always play mediocre in ny and la....they try to hard subconsciously at these american personality hubs.

[@omarkayham6352]

with the mobile thing, I have to agree with him. People have lost it

[@TeamBabylon-dp2xf]

Bono made an error there for me. You're not supposed to swear at people you don't know, it can be taken the wrong way.

[@LHW007]

I think the message is simply to live in the moment... Not worry about if you can show your friends later or post it on FB

[@frostytoes686]

Btw I am glad you enjoy this band and I encourage you too always do so. I am just sharing my feelings, is that ok with you? lol. Coexist man, that means communicate what you feel and encourage others... dont call them out just because you're bothered!!! And if you do be prepared for someone to have an opinion just like you : )

[@fu9955]

The disturbing issue here is that Bono is wearing sweat pants. Who allowed this to happen?

[@margaretsch.3609]

It was a rare occurrence at least.

[@petermoss5341]

He's talking about coexisting and he can't even deal with a girl on her phone.

[@jaggass]

Bono is right though. You should be in the moment at a concert.

[@simonhobbs3826]

shame that bono got to big for his boots saw them in on war and un fire tours , great then saw them at pop tour , what bullshit all show no vibe . best time was 1980 to 1984 then it went down hill from there , the film etc etc , Glastonbury was good but the best times are over move on boys .

[@1cogg]

Crock of shite........1982 ? that was a lifetime ago. Saw them last year at the O2 and was as good as anything I have ever seen....( and I have seen every tour since 1980.....)

[@omarkayham6352]

you´re absolutely wrong there; their best moments were the 90´s

[@1cogg]

I saw Zoo Tv at Wembley, I saw POPMART at Wembley.......the last tour at the O2 was just as good....sorry

[@WillyRand]

That's his whining liberal coming out. No need to mock a fan.

[@Arsenogenics]

@Maarteuh96 Really? Telling her to put her fucking phone down would have been nothing if he'd had a laugh with her about it. It's what he says after that that's offensive. If you can't see past your hero-worship then you'll defy logic as do all zealots and stupid people. Believe what you want I'm not surprised that Bono did this. We Irish have always loved U2's music while knowing that Bono was and is a wanker - admiring his charity work and music doesn't mean I think he's a demigod.

[@comprehensiveboy]

Reminds me of a pissed off teacher talking to an inattentive class. Gotta laugh though.

[@frostytoes686]

@kipperfeast hahaha hey man shame is heavy on the soul. you should relax a bit because life is extremely short and there is no reason to get upset just cause you share an umbrella with a bunch of people you dont like. did I spell it dont instead of don't??? O boy that must mean that Im foolish hahaha. cheers mate.

[@apejens44]

That was uncalled for, Bono. How could you expect people to get your full attention dressed like a clown? I didn't care for this section on the last tour at all.

[@Studio2770]

What clown is in red and black? You're an idiot.

[@gowestward1]

"coexisting and living in Peace" Bono rants...yet he is offended when someone talks on thier phone during "Sunday Bloody Sunday" If this song pisses him off so much then stop singing the fucking thing like you told us you would do 20 years ago!!

[@JakeRyanIsKing]

I don't mind getting Bono getting pissed. I just don't like him doing that gay little clapping dance. He looks like a goon with his bandana and his little clapping foot shuffle. The girl should delete that vid from her phone.

[@steveg.3974]

If someone spends their hard earned money on $200.00 concert tickets, they should be able to do whatever the hell the want. After all, the fans pay for his lavish lifestyle. AND many of them don't evade taxes either. U2's relevancy ended after ZOO TV.

[@MetropolisNoir]

You call that Angry? Wow, you must have a very easy and privileged life! You wanna see anger? Come to one of my family reunions...

[@gowestward1]

Bono, nothing more than a prententious 5 foot leprechaun with his pot o' gold filled with lucky charms.

[@John-qw4vs]

This is definitely before the smartphone infestation....

[@shaunbarnett2972]

Millennials and the next generations will live their lives more and more through a phone or some other device, and will become more and more disconnected from reality, feeling more and more safe tucked away behind their safety blanket and yet missing out on more and more of life and as Bono says 'The moment'. It's a worry, who knows what effect this will have?

[@MrRyanbard]

WWWow. u2 fans are sensitive. There was nothing wrong with what he said. I hate bono and I agree.

[@BeerNotPizza]

Bono's trousers are too high.

[@gerry5468]

Except moment of surrender the last 2 albums imo are enough to convince me its time to let go . retire. Atomic bomb was a masterpiece that wont be topped. id say the last 2 are at the bottom of their ccatalog w pop....the gtr effects...loopy drums...old...bono is onto something w mantra like positive slogans...he should shut up now and do risky creative music . The last great huge rock band. Lotta memories from 82 to 2005.

[@omarkayham6352]

Pop is one of their best

[@omarkayham6352]

except for atomic, I´d say they died in 2000.

[@arniemazmax]

Bono needs to remember their the guests, we pay... they perform.And if he doesnt like that. May i suggest take up fis.ing

[@davidturner4610]

Most rock stars are tolerant most of time when it comes to audience anomalies. I’ve seen quite passive rock stars loose their cool over something someone in the audience has done. Lecturing the person in the audience was a mistake and if bono has got the voice to lecture then he should have the voice to say sorry for that remark. I don’t think it was a personal attack it’s something I would never do in my band as a ‘frontman’.

[@frostytoes686]

I think if Bono is really into the moment he wouldn't care too much about what someone is doing in the audience. I call my mom all the time, not when im at a show because im not into that. And when he says coexist isnt calling your mom a great way to coexist with her and share a moment you feel is special?

[@Ametrida]

Splendid, first Bono shows how rude and aggressive he can be damaging the show for the others (not using cellphones), but he also spread religion bullshit. Bravo, Bono!

[@Studio2770]

People cheered him on. He didn't ruin anything.

[@jackjones3657]

He was jealous you weren't paying attention to him!

[@jaspergillgannon4991]

Well he is a performer

[@underneonloneliness2]

he's smashed

[@DylanRainbolt]

i dont really think he was being mean i think thats just his humor haha anyway i laughed my head off

[@BioCofMN]

I admit he was really annoying here, but he's a great guy!

[@alysiamerdavid-wasser9165]

Well, things sure have taken a turn, haven't they? Now, Bono is *PROMOTING* the E+I tour VIA iPhone's live, streaming service through Apple & (RED). Every concert since May 2, 2018 kickoff in Tulsa has been streamed, and lately, U2 are using Insta, fb, & YT, *themselves* !

[@Feli-ji8jf]

There wasnt any of those in 2005, they’re just adapting

[@deeice5398]

I am in total agreement with Bono on this one! Phones have totally ruined the concert experience not only for the performers but for many of the audience members as well. I think all artists should ban them when performing.

[@frostytoes686]

If he wants to call people out on their bullshit then I feel he should be subject to the same treatment. "I can’t engage with that level of bullshit. Which is a shame, really, and in a way it would help if I could, but I just can’t. I admire the fact that Bono can, and can walk away from it smelling of roses." Thom Yorke.

[@frostytoes686]

@Maarteuh96 Theres nothing special about donating alot of money when your rich, in my view... If i was rich I would make that a priority that doesnt make me special its just the right thing to do simply put.

[@peejnyc007]

I was at this show! =)

[@HavendaleBlvd80]

You are being made an example of... PUT YOUR FUCKING PHONE DOWN!!!

[@AidansAviationAdventures]

Ya bono WTF , one minute its get off your phone your at a concert , next song it , take out your cell phones , those dangerous little devices that can contact your local politician , come on , which side do you want us to be on , Oh wait , maybe on the next tour we can all buy the U2 CONCERT APP for the price of the ticket and watch you from home ,. now theres one you didnt think of . One but not the same , we get to text each other , photo each other .. ONE

[@frostytoes686]

@rcameronswindsor hey this guy thinks u shouldn't use a cell phone i say do whatever you want hahahaha.

[@xEricTheGothx]

you try singing their songs, its a lot harder than you think and you say he's got no talent but can we see please see you develop a singing voice with no lessons, no training, smoking and drinking and still at 50+ able to hit notes most women can only dream of hitting, do that and we'll talk ;)

[@MetalGearGuitarman]

Man that's one raging bono right there

[@j.goebbels2134]

Let's be in the moment, he says while singing a worn-out song from a decade ago for the million time.

[@Netlocd]

@ramorman People think that Bono is some self righteous, pompous ass but what they really don't know is what goes on behind the scenes. Sure, he has made mistakes and done things that he regrets, but who hasn't, really? I think that is a great story. Bono truly does have a good heart, and frankly I couldn't care what everybody else says. He's a great man and has done many great things. I have a question: What have YOU people done for starving children in Africa?

[@CanadaYo]

Maybe they are talking to the baby sitter, you don't have a young crowd coming to see you anymore.

[@Macconator2010]

It's funny because now phones at a rock show is the norm and he kind of just lets it slide now.

[@Studio2770]

They released an app that uses AR on their current tour. They realize it's an uphill battle. They say they might as well give people something to do if they're gonna be looking through their phones.

[@ME-nv4iu]

this was the beginning of the cellphone age at concerts. we know who won that battle but Bono is right.

[@Jordan.Hall1]

I agree with him, You don’t need your phone enjoy the moment and plus he didn’t even get mad at her
