Robbie Williams experiences the difference (real audio) in his and Bono’s female fans in Amsterdam:
“I thought I’m gonna pick one tonight that’s good looking, because quite frankly a lot of them have been like… mercy kisses. Is that bad? It’s the truth. She gets up on stage… I’ve seen Bono do it, so I’m thinking I’m going to have a roll around like Bono does. And with Bono they are like very respectful and they just lie next to him and listen to him, but with me… “
“…she put her hands down me pants last night, she put a tongue down me mouth, she was trying to rip me vest off and I’m singing Come Undone, really trying to maintain the fact that these people think that I’m a bit cool and that and this girl’s… I’m not in control of, and I actually at one point she was locked like a vise grip, writhing on me. And I’m thinking, this has gone too far now, so I tried to pull her off and sit next to her, a la Bono, and then she straddles the top of me and starts grinding. Now normally this wouldn’t be a problem… but there’s 60,000 other people there and so I tried to grab her hair to make it look like I’m doing a sexy grab her hair bit, but actually what I was doing is trying to pull her off me!”

As far as I’ve heared even Bono’s always having a tough time handling girls on stage, whispering in their ears to keep calm etc. Remember a few incidents with girls sitting on top of him and ripping his shirt. No experienced on my side though (non-female, or maybe just too ugly)

O, I remember Linda from argentina! Bono pulled her out of the audience during a (zooropa?)show in london and she just lost it. She jumped him,stuck her tongue in his mouth, sat on top of him and, well, i for one was happy that at least they still had their clothes on….Bono looked a bit embarrassed afterwards. Edge looked furious. Bono, by the way, picks the girls out very carefully. Always good looking, usually dark haired and the same size or smaller than he is. (What the hell is wrong with a 5 ft 10 blonde? I won’t bite!)

Love the story in Bill Flanagan’s book about the girl who got up and started trying to get rid of his macphisto make up and they talked religion whilst up there…all in a night’s work!

Quick, call the Vatican and have this yahoo put up for canonization!!! How very noble and self-sacrificial for him to bestow his “mercy kisses” on those poor beasts who do not live up to his definition of hot, hot, hot…maybe the bulk of Bono’s women fans respect Bono because he respects them. He could learn something from the B man, the dickhead….

Poor, poor Robbie. Everywhere he goes women (and some men) want to shag his brains out the backside of his head. I feel sooooo sorry for him. I hope he can recover from this extremely unfortunate experience. What an ass!

Yeah Slug, It does seem to be getting kinda thin these days.

I think the fact Bono has Ali may also have a little to do with the difference… 🙂

Well, the thing is, Bono has that 20 years of experience that robbie lacks, and he has learned how to handle people (from what i’ve been told by people who’ve met him, he has an extreeemely calming effect on you.), but also — another reason that i think they lie so “respectfully” next to him is because of the *songs*.

“Mercy kisses?!” What an asshole! Now all the girls he’s pulled up are going to wonder if he meant them, and feel hurt, and it’ll spoil their memory of the event. How could he do that? I never liked him, now I like him even less.

um…ok…so Robbie is contrasting himself with Bono and complaining because he’s more successful at getting his female fans to dry hump him? gimme a break…does he complain about his cream being too creamy or his scrambled eggs being too fluffy? The guy dry humps his own bed on MTV for cryin out loud! He’s just bragging! The guy would be attractive to me if he wasn’t so egomaniacal and chauvanistic.

I think Robbie being cheeky, sarcastic, and egomaniacal is all part of his celebrity bad-boy persona. He’s a great showman and entertainer is his own right – not the same league as Madonna or U2- but still a lot of fun for the under 15 crowd. Personally I don’t think Robbie Williams is willing to put the effort or hard work into cracking the US – he’s not hungry for it like U2 was and still is.

The under 15 crowd? He filled a stadium with 20 and up TWICE here in Amsterdam. Robbie’s the biz.
I think he’s an extraordinary talent who needs 1. a better songwriter and not that hack Guy Chambers who hasn’t written an original note in his life 2. a better manager 3. friends to support and advise him

Being a musician, I believe anyone who doesn’t write their own material should not possess a record deal, unless of course you’re Frank Sinatra. Robbie Williams possesses no musical talent worthy of having a record deal. Manufactured pop music. When’s it going to go away?

It will go away when girl’s/boy’s hormone surges stop guiding their choices in entertainment!

but there will always be hormones of someone guiding them to this kind of music. once these boys&girls grow up, there will be more to take their place …..

Robbie Williams is spectacularly untalented. It boggles the mind as to what passes for a musician these days. I guess as long as you’re cute, can smirk for the camera, and can afford a couple of songwriters, you’re worthy of the populace’s attention.
I want my U2 back!

Robbie’s not a musician, he’s an entertainer. One of the best I think. I saw him do a show in Paradiso in Amsterdam a couple of years ago, not long after the split-up of Take That. He was trying desperately to shake off that boyband image to a crowd that consisted mainly of teenagers that wanted him to sing ‘Back for good’. He succeeded and I was impressed.

I only admire and respect musicians that have a cause other than to just entertain. Music that doesn’t say anything isn’t music at all. Maybe that’s why U2 still shines, because they are the beacon of light that is shining through the bottomless murky pit of “music”. U2 are the pearl, everyone else is just grit…with the small exception of a few other artists/bands that still dare to make said music. I’ll take music with a hearbeat over music with a beat any day of the century. Robbie William’s is a drugged out, over-sexed monkey lover. Me and My Monkey? Pitiful. Thanks for allowing me this space. E-mail any thoughts or additions to my address.

I find Robbie especially arrogant, untalented, and very, very unattractive. What is the appeal?

good question! maybe it’s the fact that he conducts huge shows where he’s the center of attention…u2 aren’t beyond that…wouldn’t you look to see who was there if they had a huge olive hovering above them?

“Being a musician, I believe anyone who doesn’t write their own material should not possess a record deal, unless of course you’re Frank Sinatra.”
Spectacularly blinkered view, if you ask me. Turning this one around, you think songwriters who don’t perform their own music shouldn’t have their work performed?
Also, anyone who can captivate a 50,000 head audience cannot be ‘untalented’. It takes talent just having the balls to get up on that stage without cacking yourself. Anyone who can do that deserves respect. Plus, Robbie writes his own lyrics and while he’s no Dylan, he writes from his heart and his own experience.
Also… Take That were fabbo. 🙂

Cacking? Of course great songs should be performed. I never said anything about performance. I said musical talent, albeit in the form of writing songs, singing, or clapping hands in time. Writing songs and performing songs are completely different things. My sentiment was aimed directly at Bob. Taste is subjective. Then Bono said, “Taste is the enemy of art.” It doesn’t matter anyway. I liken Robbie William’s to Milli Vanilli. People liked it, but yeah, so what. He’s gone when the tub water is changed.

I can’t believe I’m defending robbie williams, but he is a breed apart – a terribly talented singer, a dynamic persona, a beautiful body. he’s the uber pop star, and the aggression in his swagger and speak is only the expression of how desperately he wants to be loved. I sincerely hope he doesn’t self-destruct; the quote of his that spurred this discussion is troubling. what happens when robbie williams wakes up and wants to be a real live grown-up?

well said vonb…then again…we can only comment on this article and not the EU? Is it “grown up” when you go from belly dancers and dry-humping to doing shows for the president and the eu? Is it grown up when you sing about 5,000 people dying instead of 10 who got blown up in Jakarta? I don’t think Bono is respected just for the fact he reads the news; he is respected because he respects himself…and by the way…he has a great life not because of his touring and fans but because he made a lot of good decisions concerning his personal life and professional life. Bravo Bono for being real!!!*applause*
