GSOE video and Ghost

Anyone else immediately think that U2 looked like they were dressed up very similar to the band Ghost in the GSOE video? Edge, Adam and Larry are wearing masks very similar to the Namesless Ghouls in the Skeleta tour era and Bono with the top hat and mask covering his eyes looks pretty similar to some of pictures of Papa V.

It’s particularly interesting because I always thought that one of the images of Papa IV from the Rite Here Rite Now video, where he’s wearing a gold blazer and staring at himself in mirror backstage reminded me of Mephisto from the Zoo TV video.

I wonder if their costume artists have done this on purpose.

They’re also wearing beards except Bono… like an Irish ZZ Top.

Am I the only one thinking of Dave Letterman and not ZZ Top? 🤣

Larry looked like Billy Gibbons but yes, The Edge and Adam reminded me of Dave.
