Diablo Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 The first time Bono rode a bicycle without stabilisers he ended up falling off http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-30122767 He promises to only ride tricycles from now on, and he has completely given up on his dream of riding a unicycle one day.

wmsheep Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 neither Neil Diamond nor Ali Campbell actually drink Red Wine as they find it gives them a headache Prince's father is Paul King. Yngwie Malmsteen changed his name from Lars Johan Yngve Lannerbäck following a bad rack of tiles at scrabble. Like others of their species, the band Jellyfish have self digested their brains. Morrisey likes a bacon sandwich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sprocketflup Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) some facts about The Cure. In actual fact The Cure cant stand cats. At some point during the late 70's- early 80's, the band thought it would be fun to rename themselves after modern text speak, even though the mobile phone had yet to be invented. Members at the time included brb Gallup on bass, l8rs m8 Hartley on keys and pmsl Hedges doing production duties. After a month or two, the band decided mostly to drop the monikers, with only the drummer labouring the joke onward, as drummers are wont to do. Scarily hairstyled frontman Robert ROFLMAO Smith was once asked how he got his lips looking that way. "Well,I eat raspberry jam with a wooden spoon" he crooned. The bands seminal hit 'A Forest' was written after a chance encounter with ABBA's pubic stunt wigs in the 70's. It also explains Roberts signature 'do.
