Bono Talks About His Problem-Plagued Spider-Man Musical

Filed under: Broadway Babies > Bono

Though the Broadway adaptation of Spider-Man is having difficulty swinging onto the Great White Way, U2's Bono is giving away the deets about what the show is supposed to look and sound like, including describing what kind of character the iconic superhero would have been.

"Our Peter Parker is much more…not Kurt Cobain, but a kind of slacker, a more kind of shy sort of guy," he says.

Bono proclaims the show will touch upon both opera and rock 'n roll and will introduce a new female villain along with with the Green Goblin. But the biggest shocker for us is his love for bitchress Evan Rachel Whore:

"She's the greatest actor of her generation, she's the one to watch," says Bono. "She happens to sing like a bird, it's like a true voice. She's a very pure spirit and a very bright mind and she brings the part of MJ to life really."

We think you need to stop drinking the water in those third world countries, Bono!

      …what a colossal loss financially if this doesn't pan out. It's a shame. Maybe the fact that the chick sings like a bird isn't a good thing. It's hard to hear a bird from the rafters.



    2. 2

      They had a nation wide audition for the role of MJ and others because they wanted "fresh, new talent" and they wind up picking that chick?!?!



    3. 3

      -YAWN- I AINT EVEN GNA BOTHER TO READ THAT SHIT.

      i'm not a superfan of EVR, perez, but you can't deny she can sing. i could see her as MJ, especially with that kind of music.
      peter parker being kurt cobain-ish? isn't that completely against the character? weird.
      personally, i'm not going to be sad is spiderman folds. i love superheroes, and i love musicals, but the two together is just a bad combination.

      omg stop hating on her so much!!

      Perez, you're such an ass. How can you claim to be serious when you can't separe professional from personal? even if you don't like her she is talented. too bad we can't say the same about you, huh? and the third world countries joke? not funny, just prejudiced. lame lame lame.



    8. 8

      Okay, i get that you dont like her perez. But seriously, stop denying her talent. She is a good actress and a good singer. Bono knows this because they co-starred on "Across the Universe"



    9. 9

      Bono - sell-out, hypocrite.



    10. 10

      woah, perez, you can't deny that Evan has an incredible voice, have you seen across the universe?

      she's a pretty good actress too.



    11. 11

      I think the show is BS. but I agree with him about Wood. ANYONE YOU THINK IS NOT TALENTED MARIO HAS TO BE GOOD BECAUSE YOUR TASTE SUCKS.

      Bankruptcy.

      Hey Barbara, maybe you should quit bloggin' and go back to school.
      .
      It's spelled "bankruptcy". Site was better when your gay bro wrote the blog.

      Hey Perez - you should really stop and read these comments and take note. You can't possible think this amazing actress and singer is not talented…..I mean -really, have you seen her act and sing? Come on - it's undeneiable. I may not agree with her personal choices and you can discuss those all you want - but to insinuate that she no talent? That just makes you look like a fool Perez….



    16. 16

      I guess you weren't able to today…hopfully soon. T me when you can. I'll be yat.



    17. 17

      she has more talent then you could EVER dream about.. although if ass kissing was a talent, you'd be the best out there! in other words, fuck off..



    18. 18

      She actually does have a really great voice, and I think she will be great in this part.



    19. 19

      Not sure why you hate ERW so much. It is very annoying. She is one of the better actors of her age group. I dont think she would do it anyway.



    20. 20

      hey not cool about the THIRD WORLD JOKE. aren´t you cuban? what´s wrong with you perez, trying to hurt our people? i mean, latino people… jeez, sometimes i hate your comments.



    21. 21

      lol….Chickenhawk dissing Bono, someone who knows a thing or two about music. Maybe Chickenhawk, your boyfriend Sliimy should have auditioned for the role of Mary Jane.



    22. 22

      I thought she was fantastic in Across the Universe. Just because she has bad taste in boyfriends isn't justification to rag on her. Jealous much?



    23. 23

      i have to say i agree with what bono had to say..she is the one to watch. talented girl. i'd be willing to bet that we will be seeing her for a very long time so you might want to get used to it or try for a change commenting on her gifted acting abilities as opposed to her dating choices. but yeah i know…what fun would that be?



    24. 24

      Dita is a ratfaced beetch.



    25. 25

      finally, someone with an artistic opinion on Evan Rachel Wood that matters. No one cares what you think of her Perez… you just make yourself look even more ridiculous and clueless with every nasty comment you make about her. She is incredibly talented whether you like it or not. You are a sad, talentless, angry little man who makes his living by leeching off of other peoples achievements… how sad.



    26. 26

      have you seen thirteen? king of california? across the universe?? She's perhaps a whore, but the chick can act no doubt



    27. 27

      I actually didn't think that was her singing on "across the universe" it sounded so wrong coming from her, I thought she was lip synching… but apparently she can sing! Hey, who knew..



    28. 28

      Anything that involves Bono is sure to be crap.



    29. 29

      really? bancruptcy? come on now!



    30. 30

      Actually, Evan Rachel Wood IS beautiful, a super talented actress, and has an amazing voice. Seriously, I don't understand what people have against her. Is it because you love Perez and jumping on the bandwagon and believing whatever he does?

    31. ass says – reply to this


      31

      So you love Bono, but as soon as he says something nice about someone you don't, he's an idiot. You're such a fucking moron Perez.



    32. 32

      Greatest actress of our generation? AS IF!



    33. 33

      Hate Bono but Evan is way cool so piss off Perez with your pathetic hating. You have no personal reason not to like he.Just showing off as usual.Wish someone would sure you for every cent you have plus some………………………
