Being a comedy type of show I guess you would expect them to do something like this.  But shit if you are going to, at least make it funny.  Like most others I don't speak German but for anyone that does please tell us if it was just as unfunny as it appeared?

I still reckon the funniest interview ever was the one when they came to Australia in 1993 and Norman Gunston asked questions.  I've got it on DVD here but not sure how to upload to youtube and never seen it on there.  That's some classic comedy, Slash and Duff were laughing and didn't know what to do other than laugh and give him props for the questions.

Yeah I generally found pickup lines rarely worked.  Instead they have to be so lame or so funny that you are almost doing it for a joke.  Then they have a chance as simply being an ice breaker, like in Bono's case.  If you get the girl laughing that's then a great starting point for conversation from there.

My mates and I use used to dare each other to go up to girls and throw out a cheesy pick up line just for laughs.  My favourite was to go up to a girl and say:

"Quick grab your jacket we're leaving, you've just scored". 

I'd like to Facefuck your Twatter

^ Fuck really?  If you are getting paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for one show (depending upon what the bands cut was from the $1M ticket sales), you would think Axl could at least turn up on the same DAY as the concert.
