Agreed. He’s a big pushover. I was in line to meet him just like this in Columbus Ohio back on there pop tour. Some girl gave him a sob story about something or other and he stopped signing autographs and took her backstage with him. everybody was really pissed about it
I remember working in the Airport Police in Dublin during the 80's when U2 were getting picked up from one of their tours by their chauffeur. Two young American girls were waiting for a bus into Dublin city, when Bono arrived. They asked me "Is that Bono" I replied it was and they said do you think he would give us his autograph. I said he's usually very approachable ask him. Not only did they get his autograph but he offered them a lift in their limousine into the city Centre. The joy on their faces was priceless.
@Razor Mouth☘️ this was around the time of The Joshua Tree and to be honest I was surprised myself as I had never seen them close up before although I heard from some workmates at the airport that they were very approachable. That’s why it was so memorable.
I won’t lie. I have had some issues with Bono before, but I have the utmost respect the way he and the Edge showed they truly care about their fans. You just can’t fake that. That is something those fans will never forget. I’ve seen them many times over these many years and listen to them daily. Their music is the soundtrack of my life. To see these seemingly untouchables being so down to earth somehow makes it worth it to me to be a fan.
These Guys right here are responsible for the Joshua tree . One of the greatest albums of all time and made the grey late eighties a lot lighter for me . Thank you U2
Same. It still blows my mind how they went from Joshua Tree(which was obviously one of the greatest albums of all time) that had such a distinct/unique sound… And then followed that up with Achtung Baby(which is just as good as JT, if not better) and has a completely different sound. I don’t think a lot people understand how ridiculously difficult/rare that is.
These is what the really galactic stars look like. Simple, humble, mingling with the fans. That's what makes them huge. Not only the millions of records sold.
There is a lot to learn from those guys. They were so 'present' with their fans. After decades of fame and fortune and no requirement to be so. Gentle, patient, giving. Wonderful. Thanks lads, CU Upstairs one day.
This is really great to see! Most famous people are not this down-to-earth. Bono and Edge seem like they genuinely like interacting with fans!! Great guys🥰
He does. He has been doing this for quite a while. in 2011 outside the Oakland Coliseum and the HP Center in San Jose in 2015 he did the same thing. In 1992 they went through a MCDs drive-through and talked to the guy at the window...
So blown away at where life takes us throughout the years. I was just watching how young he was in his videos " l still haven't found what l'm looking for" and "The Streets have no names" & " I can't live with or without you" . We're all headed to the same place in the end. U2 song's and many many others let us hold on to our youth no matter how old you get ⚘
I wish, more superstars would be like Bono&Edge 🥺♥️ So close to their fans 🥺 Many stars unfortunately forget that without their fans they wouldn't be up there on the big stages, many are unfortunately arrogant and detached 🥺
I had the top of my bucket list moment at Seattle Beautiful Day concert...went day before to try to figure out where they might sign autographs (he is known to generously do this)...day following...day of concert....my guess was right...I had pen and paper in hand...I was so close I could have gotten a hug...but I froze....just in awe.....what a gift he has given the world in So many ways
I have seen these guys few times, I work beside their record studio in Dublin. Always unassuming, just walking about by themselves or with a friend. No entourages or fanfare.
@Razor Mouth☘️ I've heard that about British people too, that they're commonly jealous of each other's success. Not too far across the channel ay chap? That's too bad, I really dig Irish people. No one's perfect anyway.
Met him once in a jacks (toilet ,restroom)in an ltalian restaurant in dublin about 10 years ago just off the liffey river ,sound guy ,and yes we wash our hands before we shook hands ,they say never meet your hero's but hes sound out
Bono So Knows The Fans Gave Him A Great Life.........He Always Says So At Every Concert And Thanks Them On Behalf Of U2...A Gracious Human Being In The Form Of A Rock Star.....Now That Is Cool.
Back in 1983, I met them walking down an alley in Westwood Village in Los Angeles where they asked me if I had change for a dollar.. They were in the car.. I didnt realize who it was until I looked inside and was I like uhhhhhhhhhhhh. Fun times.
When seeing them at 360 tour in NC we were walking around inside the stadium and Bono and Edge were just over in a corner tucked away signing stuff and talking, taking pictures much like this...I was about 5 feet away, and loving them since '82 I completely froze and couldn't do anything but stare at them..they still were there 10 minutes or so..can't believe I didn't start screaming like a girl at a Beatles concert...my sister went over and got close and filmed a lot of it
Estoy asombrada ...cero pretensiosos, muy humildes y dedicados a sus fans, increíble la atención de Bono y Edge a cada uno, entre autógrafos, besos, fotos y hasta escucharlos y bromear...por algo siguen vigentes
MY FRIENDS, NÃO É A TA QUE ELES SÃO A MAIOR BAND DO MUNDO, A SIMPLICIDADE E O CARINHO COM AS FÃS E DEMAIS!!!! U2 ETERNO, BONO, EDGE, ADAM E LARRY JR AMÉM !!!!
If a band is lucky enough to survive the intial madness of becoming rockstars then this beautiful Intercourse between fans and the members can play out. Unfortunately some bands burnout before they can survive the mania that surrounds them. Love U2 and have been huge fans since I first heard their "War" album. I can assure there was a time that fans couldn't get quite this personal or physically close the band members. Maturity is a beautiful thing.
Actually that is not true. I got this up close and personal with all the band members back in August of 1992 during the ZOO TV tour. Lots of people did. They have been doing this their entire career. In fact, from what I've heard, in the real early days, they use to sleep over after the show at fans houses occasionally.
I always thought Celine Dion was the kindest and most generous celebrity with a special connexion with her fans but I am so impressed by Bono and Edge never seen legends acting so normal and down to earth .. beautiful souls.
Awesome !!! thanks for sharing this, i just can cover "with or without you" i'm learning to play "Beautiful day" great to see the masters here :) greetings from El Salvador !!!
My niece went on tour with U2 some years back, as a tutor to their kids. She said they are just a bunch of normal people, raising their families unspoilt and best they can in not so normal circumstances.
If you're watching this and your famous take note. It's not so much about you as it is them. And without an encouraging you bring out the best in people by just being gracious and kind.
I had the top of my bucket list moment at Seattle Beautiful Day concert...went day before to try to figure out where they might sign autographs (he is known to generously do this)...day following...day of concert....my guess was right...I had pen and paper in hand...I was so close I could have gotten a hug...but I froze....just in awe.....what a gift he has given the world in So many ways
I met Bono once...he is the real deal. Super cool, funny . What a great band and what a legacy .
Whether good or bad, poor or millionaire, famous or unknown, it's always wonderful watching an artist being kind and respectful to their fans.
This is the classiest video ever of great musicians reaching out to fans. Much respect for Bono and Edge. Really cool vibes
@Paul David Hewson(BONO) thanks and peace from Austin, Texas !!! A fan for life
what an amazing tribute to the fans. Unhurried. Listening, patient, respectful.
Even when he was in a hurry let them and he apologized for it
BONO is not your average star. He gets what is is to be human, while being a superstar at the same time...
Agreed. He’s a big pushover. I was in line to meet him just like this in Columbus Ohio back on there pop tour. Some girl gave him a sob story about something or other and he stopped signing autographs and took her backstage with him. everybody was really pissed about it
always he is!
It doesn’t matter how much you have as manners cost nothing. Well done Bono and Edge, true icons.

Amazing thanks for sharing tommy
@@neilb3691 Cheers buddy my favorite U2 song is "Unforgettable Fire" Never see any reactions to it on TH-cam
@Razor Mouth☘️ True I met many in the airport and 90% of them would look down their noses at you and were full of their own self importance
@Razor Mouth☘️ this was around the time of The Joshua Tree and to be honest I was surprised myself as I had never seen them close up before although I heard from some workmates at the airport that they were very approachable. That’s why it was so memorable.
Always so gracious to fans. This is how you do it.
I won’t lie. I have had some issues with Bono before, but I have the utmost respect the way he and the Edge showed they truly care about their fans. You just can’t fake that. That is something those fans will never forget. I’ve seen them many times over these many years and listen to them daily. Their music is the soundtrack of my life.

One of the greatest albums of all time and made the grey late eighties a lot lighter for me . Thank you U2
Me too!

These is what the really galactic stars look like. Simple, humble, mingling with the fans. That's what makes them huge. Not only the millions of records sold.
Bono is such an exceptional human being. He kissed that womans hand. That is humbling.
I was a little girl when I found this band. Bono is a great singer and he cares about causes. He is the voice of those who can speak.
Their humility never ceases to amaze me!
There is a lot to learn from those guys. They were so 'present' with their fans. After decades of fame and fortune and no requirement to be so. Gentle, patient, giving. Wonderful. Thanks lads, CU Upstairs one day.
Taking time to talk to fans & give autographs ? No wonder I'm enjoying this. Almost unheard of. God bless you men !
Totally great to see
George Lucas part time security gig for U2. Thats so cool. He must be a big fan to do that.
Yeah . Because U2 is the best Rock Band hall of the time. George is a U2 fan ever kkkkk
He lost some pounds lol
This is really great to see! Most famous people are not this down-to-earth. Bono and Edge seem like they genuinely like interacting with fans!! Great guys🥰
To all those that have ever hated on the "megalomaniac" Bono and the boys - look at this beautiful video of these gracious and humble lads!
Met Bono and the Edge back in the 80s. Great guys
Bono a great guy! Didn’t know he was that open to meeting & talking with his fans.
He does. He has been doing this for quite a while. in 2011 outside the Oakland Coliseum and the HP Center in San Jose in 2015 he did the same thing. In 1992 they went through a MCDs drive-through and talked to the guy at the window...

We're all headed to the same place in the end. U2 song's and many many others let us hold on to our youth no matter how old you get ⚘
very cordial to their fans...hey all you rock stars out there?? THIS is how you treat your fans...just a bunch of great guys...rock on U2...
I wish, more superstars would be like Bono&Edge 🥺♥️ So close to their fans 🥺 Many stars unfortunately forget that without their fans they wouldn't be up there on the big stages, many are unfortunately arrogant and detached 🥺
So gracious. Taking their time greeting and talking to fans. And the security guy behind Bono.....what an incredible head of hair.
Just a couple of guys who appreciate and know the value of a loyal fan base that can easily span back 40 years . Class acts all day long
I love watching Bono’s hands when he sings...does anyone else see and feel the fascination wit the way he sings with his hands?
After all these years, so gracious to their adoring fans.
Great guys for giving back to so many that have given to them. Cheers, boys! We need more like you.
Met Bono buying boots in 1992. A genuine down to earth guy.
Gosh I am 52 I’m a fan since I was 15 never thought Bono was like that ,I don’t know how I could react if I could just give a hug to my lifetime idol
I had the top of my bucket list moment at Seattle Beautiful Day concert...went day before to try to figure out where they might sign autographs (he is known to generously do this)...day following...day of concert....my guess was right...I had pen and paper in hand...I was so close I could have gotten a hug...but I froze....just in awe.....what a gift he has given the world in So many ways
I love how much time they take to each of their fans. This is certainly something that you"ll hardly see with other autograph videos with celebrities.
I have seen these guys few times, I work beside their record studio in Dublin. Always unassuming, just walking about by themselves or with a friend. No entourages or fanfare.
These guys were a class act. I am so proud that Tulsa, Oklahoma was their kickoff tour. I don't know why but it was great.
Love these guys, so humble... Appreciation of the fans goes a long way, so many celebs could learn from this...Absolute Gentlemen 👏
What a guy!!,Absolute legend 💎😎🔥🏴
Wow! Bono & The Edge are so genuinely kind and thoughtful. So happy for you and those fans. ❤️
I love how interested they are in their fans. Genuine guys!
I don't know why so many people hate Bono! Especially Ireland! The guy is so down to earth and cool as hell!
That's why. He shows us how we should be. He is challenging.
@Razor Mouth☘️ I've heard that about British people too, that they're commonly jealous of each other's success. Not too far across the channel ay chap? That's too bad, I really dig Irish people. No one's perfect anyway.
daytime they are uncle Bono and uncle Edge, at night they are the most powerful band in the world. Amazing!
God bless the edge and bono from Mike in Manchester england
That was great when Bono gave the lady a hug. Very touching.
He is such a good soul, and very interpersonal with his fans. I love him. :)
They are so natural and humble!.
Hermoso ser humano Dios te bendiga 🙏Bono saludos desde Torreón Coahuila México
Bono & Edge are so gracious to their fans. My all time favorite album is Rattle & Hum - and their video of the same name is epic.
These are "Rock Gods", But their showing us they're flesh and blood souls just like us. Very Humble, Thats part of what makes them so attractive.
I'm a lifelong fan. I saw them in '83 at the Brady Theater. What a show that was.
That's why U2 still kicks ass after +40 years...
Bono, Edge, Lery, Adam.
U2, fantásticos.
Sandro / Brasil / São Paulo.
Bono was fantastic more than he is always, He's best man of the world!! love love xx
Not always a massive fan, but these guys are the Greatest ever!!
La mejor banda de la historia me encantan sobre todo por su humildad... grandes!!!😍😣
WOW WHAT KIND OF WARM PEOPLE IS THE EDGE........INCREDIBLE ....
Love U2, such a cool band and absolutely lovely hearted people, i cant speak highly enough about them....all DUDES!! 💙
Met him once in a jacks (toilet ,restroom)in an ltalian restaurant in dublin about 10 years ago just off the liffey river ,sound guy ,and yes we wash our hands before we shook hands ,they say never meet your hero's but hes sound out
Bono So Knows The Fans Gave Him A Great Life.........He Always Says So At Every Concert And Thanks Them On Behalf Of U2...A Gracious Human Being In The Form Of A Rock Star.....Now That Is Cool.
U2 fans are so civilized
Is correct, is a generation respectful I belong to that generation..
True stars in every sense 👊
Back in 1983, I met them walking down an alley in Westwood Village in Los Angeles where they asked me if I had change for a dollar.. They were in the car.. I didnt realize who it was until I looked inside and was I like uhhhhhhhhhhhh. Fun times.
This is just awesome to see how patient they are. Can't wait to see them in November for #joshuatree2019
Fantástico a simpatia deles e a forma como tratam seu público. Merecem todo nosso respeito 🎶🎵🎸👏👏❤️😍
When seeing them at 360 tour in NC we were walking around inside the stadium and Bono and Edge were just over in a corner tucked away signing stuff and talking, taking pictures much like this...I was about 5 feet away, and loving them since '82 I completely froze and couldn't do anything but stare at them..they still were there 10 minutes or so..can't believe I didn't start screaming like a girl at a Beatles concert...my sister went over and got close and filmed a lot of it
Estoy asombrada ...cero pretensiosos, muy humildes y dedicados a sus fans, increíble la atención de Bono y Edge a cada uno, entre autógrafos, besos, fotos y hasta escucharlos y bromear...por algo siguen vigentes
Im always still follow you bno.....🥀
Bono just seems like the most genuine person. If the Dalai Lama ever needs a replacement I think we know who gets the job.
one great band. really impressive accomplishments and some of the greatest rock music ever made.
Estos sin son artistas, ante todo la humildad siempre 👍
down to earth
...legends
MY FRIENDS, NÃO É A TA QUE ELES SÃO A MAIOR BAND DO MUNDO, A SIMPLICIDADE E O CARINHO COM AS FÃS E DEMAIS!!!! U2 ETERNO, BONO, EDGE, ADAM E LARRY JR AMÉM !!!!
To all the boys in THE band...KUDOS...fan since 1981😁💖
I’ve never watched a U2 video on TH-cam. So dunno why this was recommended. But still had to watch. 🐐
Super fã de Bono vox.. da banda também.. U2 amo demais..!!!🎼🇧🇷🌷🌷🌷
Really amazing video....fly on the wall stuff! Bono has intense vibe...but sweet as well. The Edge just sweet.
Thank you, thank you! I was there and this captures my moment with Bono perfectly. Much appreciated!

Yes is the band more great around the world, 44 years old this banda the more old age around the world and the most better
He's such a lovely guy
He had full on convos with some of them, SO much respect!!!
Only men from working class areas of Dublin,God love them.xx
You see here why they are the biggest band in the world. Keeping it real.
BONO ENVEJECIO COMO DIOS MANDA Y SE LO VE MAS LINDO 😘😘😘
I always thought Celine Dion was the kindest and most generous celebrity with a special connexion with her fans but I am so impressed by Bono and Edge never seen legends acting so normal and down to earth .. beautiful souls.
Por isso é a maior banda de rock, humildade e carinho com os fãs e o talento.
Che fortuna ...bono.sei bellissimo
Sei e sarai sempre il mio dio
This is a dream ❤️ And I have reached this dream ones in my life in Moscow, I was so on the sky then saw them in 2010
No necesitan un vallado para que los fans los disfruten en vivo y en directo... auténticamente...eso se llama RESPETO! Son unos Genios U2!! 💖
Awesome !!! thanks for sharing this, i just can cover "with or without you" i'm learning to play "Beautiful day" great to see the masters here :) greetings from El Salvador !!!
My niece went on tour with U2 some years back, as a tutor to their kids. She said they are just a bunch of normal people, raising their families unspoilt and best they can in not so normal circumstances.
They bring their family with them on tour?
Bono, maybe made some mistakes With his politics and some things With the band, but you can really say that he cares about his fans alot respect
Agree
Never been a fan. UNTIL THIS VERY MOMENT. Very cool.
If you're watching this and your famous take note. It's not so much about you as it is them. And without an encouraging you bring out the best in people by just being gracious and kind.
So nice to begin my day with them! 😊😊😊
Class act. Love these guys.
Nothing more attractive than rock stars with humility. Bono and Edge both class acts.
Watch and listen up public figures, this is how you do it. It is part of the job.
Very cool of them to be so considerate to the fans
The very definition of cool, gracious, and classy.
what a great video... thank you for uploading
U2. Best concert I ever saw 20 years ago.. I knew I'd never see better and I havent.
Really nice footage!! Sadly Corona has changed such possible encounters for the future though 😢💜☮️💜
I had the top of my bucket list moment at Seattle Beautiful Day concert...went day before to try to figure out where they might sign autographs (he is known to generously do this)...day following...day of concert....my guess was right...I had pen and paper in hand...I was so close I could have gotten a hug...but I froze....just in awe.....what a gift he has given the world in So many ways
