Once the embers of 1984’s The Unforgettable Fire subsided, U2 decided to go on a different kind of tour. (No, not that Amnesty International tour in 1986 with Sting.) This tour delved into the band’s wonder with America, and it gave birth to one of music’s biggest albums ever.
Ten years ago, U2 released an album that saw their stronghold on pop culture slipping, despite their greatest efforts. But there's a lot to love about No Line On The Horizon.
U2’s third studio album War was released 36 years ago today (February 28.) It was the band’s first true breakthrough thanks to the rallying cry and setlist mainstay “Sunday Bloody Sunday.”
When it comes to the classic rock world, the genre is littered with love songs. In honor of Valentine's Day, let's show some love to ten love songs that sometimes fly under the radar.
Despite the recent news that Bono’s foray into the world of fashion has led to a massive $86.4 million loss since 2004, he and his U2 bandmates have proven their money-making power when out on the road.
After the monumental success of The Joshua Tree and its subsequent tour, there was definitely a sense of “Now what?” with U2. The band, perhaps, didn’t know themselves, which made sense why Bono said at a show in Dublin on December 30th, 1989 that, “We just have to go away and dream it all up again.”
U2’s Larry Mullen Jr., who celebrates a birthday today (October 31), often doesn’t get a lot of attention, but considering he’s the one who started U2 back in 1976 by posting a notice on the bulletin board of Mount Temple Comprehensive School, he certainly deserves a lot more.
If you like bump and grind ‘cause it’s good for your mind, then you’re going to want to check out the all-star T.Rex tribute album that’s in the works.
U2 has maintained a long relationship with Apple long before that time they made a majority of people mad by putting their new album on everyone's iPhone.
U2’s Rattle and Hum, the soundtrack album to the film of the same name, was released 30 years ago today (October 10), and while the film gets knocked by critics and fans for being a bit pretentious, there is no denying the soundtrack album, especially its original tracks, is simply stellar.
Bono has gone through many looks ever since U2’s debut album was released in 1980, but it doesn’t get more iconic than his leather vest phase during the band’s promotion and tour behind The Joshua Tree.
