Bono's Irish Chicken

Post by GreenKnee »

Ok, so I;m hammered. I hate U2. But I decided I might as well listen to them seeing as they're the only thing remotely watchable at this time. I am glad I did.

Imagine this:

(Irish Falcon)


Then I am sure you have all seen the White Chicken (White Falcon crossed with thin line tele)

So nice by the way...






But Bono at Glastonbury is playing an Irish Chicken.

I am no U2 lover by any means, but that guitar is just THE SEX. Sorry about the bad photo, it's the only one I can find.


Also, Bono playing the Irish Falcon:

I love Gretsch. They are just the sexiest guitars. Huge.

Haha. His poses are so typical Bono. Bell end-ish. His voice makes me laugh, American-English, with him seeming to try to put an Irish feel on it, but it's barely there at all.

He's doing a gay speech now, such a tosser.

haha thank god. If you said you didn't like the white falcon, I'd would make you play mine, just so you would fall in love with it. Everybody does.


I can understand about the others, but gaudy and beautiful and two features I look for in everything in life haha

U2 has even f-ed up Fender and Gretsch at one shot. And they make the most beautiful guitars.
The Chicken not cool.

I don't mind the chicken in concept, but that pickguard and some details are misguided.

What I hate about Bono's Falcon is the stupid "the goal is soul" thing on the pickguard. And the fact that someone who is not noted for his guitar playing AT ALL has his own freakin' Gretsch model. There is no justice.

It's not a production model, you can just go to Gretsch, pay a ridiculous amount of money, and have them do whatever you want. When I say Gretsch, what I actually mean is Fender's Custom Shop. Hence the Gretsch/Fender collaborations on the Chickens.

I'm pretty sure that was a model you could buy - I spent a bit of time on the Gretsch website. It's gone now though.

DO NOT WANT.

The last excellent U2 albums were Boy and War.

The last okay album was Achtung Baby.

U2 sucks, Bono should either become a politician or a musician because right now he is just a hypocrite.

Yeah, but for being Sonny and Cher's only non-gay kid, he's done OK for himself...
