The first time I listened to, “The Joshua Tree”, I was on a bus to school in Frankfurt, Germany. It opened my eyes and my heart to bigger things, different lives in different countries. I felt a sense of fearlessness and freedom, even as a 15 year old girl, that I’ve never lost. I’ve loved U2 ever since. ❤️

As a man who grew up in a very traditional family, I teared up when the server brought out Bono's fathers drink as tradition.

Ali is so beautiful. Her smile is lovely it's as if you can know she lives a wonderful life because her smile welcomes you in to see the good.

I could listen to this man for hours....or longer ....or FOR EVER!!!!❤❤❤❤

I just turned 60. I first heard a brand new single "I will Follow", in 1979/80 - an after hours club in New York City called "The Nursery". I needed to know that moment who made this song. I begged the dj for some info, even tho his hands were full. I fell in love with U2 right then. I was happy our beloved WLIR put them in heavy rotation from the beginning. Program director Dennis McNamara helped break U2 in the U.S. It's been 42 years for me. I still go to the shows, and get excited for new music. God bless them.

Great to see and hear Ali! U2 and the Alarm have always been my "spirit guides" which helped me, reach higher, but also keep me grounded. There is a lot of pain and beauty in this world, these bands help define the dichotomy.

I'm a few years younger than Bono, so I grew up listening to U2; they were a big influence on me. Their songs have meaning. Great interview!

As a U2 fan since 1987, this interview in 20 minutes made me see Bono in a whole new light.

What a great human Bono ❤

this was FANTASTIC! it made me truly realise omg FORTY YEARS has flown by but i still remember the sensation of hearing U2 for the first time. they changed my world and am forever grateful ❤ thank you for this interview and the songbook of my youth, bono - cheers!

Such a delightful interview. U2 is my favorite band forever. Thank you for your humanity Bono!

Bono Wat a beautiful mess!!! He is enlightening to hear So elequent and graceful Saw him in Vegas a few weeks ago Stilll rocks it hard!!! And with such love and grace for his fans I luv u Bono n U2 U changed my life as a teeen and still do in my 40s may u always sing with the Angels and luv us with your beautiful voice ❤❤❤❤❤ Forever Young!!! Luv Mills ❤❤❤

I loved U2 since I was a kid. And I’m 21 now

That was a really good interview, never seen an interview with Bono before or If I have it was just a minute or two long. He is really down to earth or so it seems here.

This was the best Bono's interview of all the time ❤🇧🇷😍

When I bought my first U-2 album, "October," Bono's name was "Bono Vox." - It was "MTV-Music Video's" in America that turned me on to U-2 when I first heard "Gloria." I still don't understand why that song isn't a regular playing hit here in the USA. It is a Rocking Lovely jamming song. I think I even sang it in the shower when I was 21 years old in the 1980's. I'm going to 65 next year [2023].

I thought this was such a great interview and Bono comes across as a person who despite his life is grounded in self deprecation and reality.

Thank you for this interview. Good to hear Bono's answers and comments, and Ali's as well. When I was young, couldn't understand how folks could have a favorite band, until I heard U2. Thank you.😎👍

thank You Norah ... amazing BONO & Ali ....beeing a FAN since 1983 ; )

Thank you for this wonderful interview.

As an Irishman, how can you not be proud of Bono. His wife is beautiful

As someone who discovered U2 at a young age, and looked up to Bono, this was a great interview. I’m surprised more people haven’t seen it.

This was a brilliant, insightful tour of Bono's past, and present--the perfect prologue to receiving his memoir in the post (eagerly anticipated!)! 22:03 That puzzling placement! Mr. Hewson having to create his own image, alongside Irish Writers Long Past. Not only is the man a living legend--his creative roots took place on that very site! His incredible literary artistry, going unrecognized in his own school! ('Comprehensive', it is not!) This particular 'Temple' needs to place Bono's photo at the apex of that grouping: Top. Centre. And in this case, and always: Never Give Up, Never Surrender--you are, and will always be, the Toppermost of the Poppermost! 🥳🍻

Great book, I can’t put it down. Keep reading certain parts over and over because these stories and his perspectives are so full of meaning and are also sometimes very funny. A great and magical book !! A Fun ride !! Thanks for sharing this Bono, Ali and U2!!

Bono' is so accessible and gracious. Amazing after all the years of adulation, awards, etc. He certainly is humble for a man of his achievements and celebrity .

"give me one last chance and you will be.." I love U2 & Bono ❤

Thank's for all the music while i was growing up Bono and also to the bandmates. U2 will always be one of my favorite bands ever!

I pre ordered his book Surrender and received it yesterday. Been reading it. Anyone else? Love the Bono ❤️

Thank you for being kind and reasonable. I never had respect from someone to really appreciate me for who I am as a beautiful woman. Thank you for coming out to me at GAAMC.

Just received my Surrender book. Can't wait to start reading. Absolutely love and admire this man, his music , his story .

A brilliant interview. So honest and Mrs Bono is stunning and natural

Thank God for U2. They will always be relevant. ❤

Love this side of Bono

What a great interview with Bono's fantastic life story😎.

Beautiful interview ❤ thank you

J'ai adore cette interview avec se chanteur super sympa et très simple merci à vous mon chanteur préféré bono ❤😊

Was 12 years old when I saw them on Top of the Pops. Loved them ever since

Such an amazing interview!

Just An Amazing Band 👏

Really enjoyed that. Brilliant in fact.

I love this. So nice to see Ali.

Great interview, great guy, love U2.

"Your strengths become your weaknesses." Interesting statement. I like it.

BEAUTIFUL BONO U2 🤘🤘🖤

Really great interview, so enjoyable. I would have liked a little chat about their kids, and them moving in the music /showbiz circles.

Ali Hewson is a gorgeous woman..never heard from her or seen her before..just lovely

WOWWW... Ali sin duda se complementa perfectamente con Bono...ella siempre dulce y Bono todo un torbellino de jóvrn e inquieto a sus 61 a.....asombrosos

When the Joshua Tree hit NZ it was off the shelf before you could blink an eye.

I wish there was a longer interview of the couple

Fantastic piece, well done Norah and team.

Bono 😍 Amor 💘 da minha vida 👏👏

" THE REFUGEE " from the THE U2 WAR ALBUM THIS ALBUM WAS A BIG DEAL THAT SONG SENDS ME ...THANK YOU PAUL

Great interview. I like the setting, makes me want to visit Ireland and partake in a pint of Guinness. It would be interesting to hear from the rest of the band too.

Akways great to listen to sell out Bono👍

Yes my love

♥️

Bono💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍

⚘

james joyce, oscar wilde, samuel beckett, bram stoker and I think one day bono will be positioned along side these illustrious irish names.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻☘️

as john lydon says...”anger is an energy” that’s what bono keeps moving

@3:10 what you cannot quite control inside of you is that your soul, a soul that is suffering without spiritual dress, basically your soul is necked and in pain, hope Allah guides you to the right path, I believe you are a wonderful man..

😇😇😇💛💛💛

Lovely looking pints! I miss Ireland

So wise. 🙏🏾 Wisdom born from inner soul searching.

So jealous Norah! Great interview.

Bono. A man in search of a metaphor

📿 rosarys. Dude

Bono doing the rounds

Going to the pub when the kids are 18 is a lie. The first Christmas when you’re 16 is usually the norm.

I hope one day we get aU2 Biopic

IN REALITY, ITS SOMETHING HALLOWED FIRST LETTER OF EACH WORD IRISH THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS TO US

I don´t think he´s particularly accurate when he says the younger audience doesn´t respond very well to their songs... Some of their tunes reach the very bones within any of us

I've fallen in and out of love with U2 since Boy and War came out and will continue to do so until my dying breath.

Bono and O'Donnell going to an Irish pub? What could possibly go wrong!

The only time I know U2 and Bono got an Oscar nomination was for The Hands That Built America from Gangs of New York in 2003. It lost to Lose Yourself by Eminem from 8 Mile.

She had her scripted questions but didn’t follow up on some of the leads he provided, like nave his home life and his family understanding what he did. I wish she’d gone into greater depth with him.

“What do you Want”

7:11 Angrier after anger management? 😂😂😂

I do thanks U2 for the beautiful lirics and music that gave us . I like them for the music , for their commitment for in the past for poor people , but i don t undestand how they can be friend with the evil Davos crowd !!! ....maybe riches made Bono think and be like them!

Bono you have sold your soul!!!

Вono💋

Grandpa Bono

She reminds me of jacky kennedy

Bono is a born again Christian

Good looking pints

One notes old bones has dyed one’s hair !!!!!

I dont agree regarding his voice. Young voice had more expression imo

W.E.F. member, friends with bill gates, Clinton etc etc etc....let's not forget this...

Why does main stream media think anyone cares about bono or u2?

Bono

I love U2's music and bon'o's voice and lyrics.. but, Bono is full of contradictions.."Keep it real" he says... ok , sounds good.... then he just 'wanders' into a pub clearly closed to the public just for him and his team for the interview... (keeping it real indeed)..oh.. before i forget..He owns multiple luxury multimillion dollar yachts, many multi million dollar apartments, mansions, villa's, castles, he owns a private equity firm turning millions in profits every year, he's worth well over $700 million. Christian Aid estimated that $160bn is lost to the developing world each year as profits made by the rich are shifted to wealthier tax havens. U2 did exactly this when Ireland changed a law in 2006 to require earnings over 225k annually to be taxed. U2 never paid any tax before this law. Now U2 still do not pay any tax as they shifted their business to a tax haven in the Netherlands. All these carefully crafted interviews are subject to 2 questions not being allowed to be asked.. 1: where do you live?... (clue: NOT Ireland - he visits Ireland).. 2: Why do U2 avoid paying tax?. The questions are vetted by Bono's/U2's PR team beforehand, and if an interviewer were to go 'off script' at any moment then the interview will be shut down,,,, oh, and Bono's team get the final call on the finished edit of the interview BEFORE it goes anywhere near broadcast. I'll give Bono the final say here.. "we are one, but we are not the same....". Indeed Bono, a contradiction in itself from you in your own words staring is in the face. Brazen indeed.

Lard gad …. He looks so shriveled up For his young years

Bono's peak was 83' to 93. And it's not really up for debate. From War to Zooropa. So I don't think he's a better singer now than then, at all. Sorry. But this version of Bono couldn't sing Lemon or Sunday Blood Sunday like it was on war, or Bad like it is on Unforgettable fire, or with or without you like it was on Joshua Tree. They still play these amazing songs, but Bono sounds very, very tired and far less impactful than even in the late 90s early 2000s. Bono's voice now actually works far better in their newer songs than any of the old ones.

To whom, Bono.

Sounds like he believes it,so...

SOLD HIS R SOUL TO THE DARK SIDE

Bono, coloring his hair? At least he's aging naturally without all that facial surgery..
