Overall Rating:3.60 based on 40 ratings
ItemImageSinger, poet, activist, and believer: few icons in the history of rock & roll have created and performed their art with the consciousness and passion of Bono and only a handful have done it as successfully. Whether preaching three chords and the truth or donning ironic personas, the first and only frontman for seminal Irish rock band U2 has always stood unequivocally for hope, faith, and love — and in so doing has touched millions of people worldwide. ...

Good Voice, Shouldn't bother with the guitar, interesting performer, way too into himself, but overall good.

Bono is the greatest Tenor in rock music. His voice is indeed operatic, very powerful. Not just the voice, but his thoughts, songwriting skills, and the feelings he put into his every performance. There's no other vocalist like him. One of the reasons why U2 made a legacy, they really changed the face of music.

Bono is a pansy and his band is overrated. U2 never struck me as being a talented musical band. They were more of a publicity band.

This guy is a real pain in the gluteus maximus. Here is a good Bono story that sums him up to a tee!

He is playing a U2 concert in Glasgow, Scotland when he asks the audience for total quiet.

Then in the silence, he starts to slowly clap his hands, once every few seconds.

Holding the audience in total silence, he says into the microphone,

"Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies."

A voice with a broad Scottish accent, from near the front of the crowd,
pierces the silence...

"Well, f------ stop doin' it then !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I love Bono's voice and performance skills and some of U2's stuff. The stuff I don't like still has that great voice singing it though.

Boy, is he irritating as hell- but one has to admit he is a hell of a frontman for a band.

U-2 is one of the all-time great bands, and Bono is one of the all-time great songwriters and entertainers.
