U2

There is a story on other hand for U2. No one can be directly at the top. In 1984 U2 lead singer Bono told Jim Miller in Newsweek The message if there is a message in our music is the hope that it communicates. Nearly ten years later after being called everything from pompous and self righteous social crusaders to sincere and involved political activists U2 decided it was time to step out of the identities the world had superimposed on them. Bono Vox who by this time had become simply Bono told Robert Hilburn of the Los Angeles Times We felt we were being made a cartoon of  the good guys of rock and so forth  so we decided to make some cartoons of our own and send them out as disinformation. U2 forged ahead to reach rock icon status with multiplatinum albums including Rattle and Hum War The Joshua Tree Achtung Baby and the group s 2000 release All That You Can t Leave Behind.

 

U2 started off humbly enough as a Dublin Ireland school boy band formed in response to an ad placed on the Mount Temple High School notice board by Larry Mullen Jr. in 1976. Of the several students that came to his house to audition for the rock band Mullen noted that although some could play technical merit wasn t the decisive factor.Members include Bono originally Bono Vox born Paul Hewson on May 10 1960 vocals Adam Clayton born on March 13 1960 bass The Edge born David Evans on August 8 1961 guitar Dick Dik Evans left group 1976 guitar Larry Mullen Jr. born on October 31 1961 drums.
