Good to hear from you, Joe! I can totally hear Ozzy doing Dark Lord of Hollywood. I hope he does one day. The other Super Modelz music sounds great! You obviously know your way around a studio. Here's to keeping our respective dreams going! I'll try say hi at the next show. Cheers! Chris WoooHooo! Good to hear from you, Joe! I can totally hear Ozzy doing Dark Lord of Hollywood.

We do it for the U2 fans more than anything. It took me years to finally go through with it as I felt very silly with the idea. It worked out nicely once I decided to take the plunge. I have an original group called The Supermodelz if you might be interested in checking out our tunes. One of my favorites is "Dark Lord of Hollywood" which we wrote for OZZY. I am performing all instrumentation and singing all the vocals on it, (I tried to sound like OZZY so he'd get the picture as we'd love for him to do it and have a hit on the radio for once in 15 years). Unfortunately, he hasn't turned my head since Randy Rhoads died. The lyrics to Dark Lord are written by my writing partner David Ray of Portland Oregon. We have a great thing. You can hear it at http://www.thesupermodelz.com I like to think of my group The Supermodelz as one of the up and coming bands that can hold up to the writing abilities of the classics which I don't hear much of anymore. Anyway, thanks again for the kind words on Hollywood U2. We are going to do it as long as they let us. Hi Chris,

Changed my frickin' world (who wouldn't want to see a 20 foot Bono?) I sent my 60 year old parents to go see it. I saw the IMAX version too.

I'll go see HU2 next time! I have had my doubts about a U2 cover band. However, I've never had a shamrock of reservation about a U2 cereal. I'd buy that sight unseen. WIN-WIN-WIN!!! FYI, the sound system at the IMAX made the Arlington sound like a min-boombox. Your commentary made it just as fun though! :) FINE!! I’ll go see HU2 next time!

I had never realized that was such a mannerism of the real Bono until I saw this guy perfectly imitate it. For those who missed it, they even brought a belly dancer on stage for "Mysterious Ways." Now THAT is authentic. The best part of the Hollywood U2 show was how Hollywood Bono kept running his hands through his hair.

I still have a bootleg from Unforgettable Fire in Houston when I was wee one. Bono forgot the lyrics to "Knocking on Heaven's Door." But they were even better two years later on Joshua Tree, and then there was the 15 meters from the stage Zoo tour show...Oh I could go on... what happened to “Semi-pro?” :)

So sorry we missed this one! Did you think that U23D sounded as good as it looked at the Arlington? I just wanted them to TURN IT UP! p.s. Pint is funny.
