Typically, Bono and the Edge are easiest. Adam is a bit more elusive (usually quite polite to fans though), Mullen the most difficult.  Just had friends who've already met Bono and Mullen on this tour, so Larry might be turning around a bit.  I understand he's still a bit warmer to fans than collectors.

This is an arena tour, so it should be a bit easier to meet them than a stadium tour.

When the band arrived in Phoenix yesterday they were extremely cool.  Each band member got out of their SUV with a bodyguard and came over which blew my mind since they are one of the biggest bands in the world.  As Rich was saying Bono and the Edge were the coolest, they signed autographs for everyone and took pictures with whoever asked.  Adam only signed for 2 of the 11 fans there and Larry only took a picture with 2 girls that he knew and then walked away.  I was lucky enough to get Adam but he signed in the dark area of my Joshua Tree and you can barely see it, I am still kicking myself for not getting the Unforgettable Fire done instead but I assumed he would sign in the light area.  My girlfriend was there with me and got the Joshua Tree in the middle done and the bottom J.T I had from meeting them a few years ago.

No impossible, but decidedly difficult.  He signed earlier this week for my friend in San Jose.  If you're an actual fan of the band, you have a shot.  Those looking to cash in on Ebay might find a dead end instead.

so you mean, if you look like a fan he will sign for you? if you look like a dealer, he will skip you?

Well, I wouldn't try to get multiple things signed, and I wouldn't be pushy.

He's still the toughest one to get, just not as impossible impossible as sellers portray him as.

ALOT of people I talk to say he's in the top 10 hardest music graphs to get in person.  They have been trying 10 years for him maybe getting him once or twice
