BIOGRAPHY
In 1976, 14-year-old drummer Larry Mullen Jr. placed an ad on the bulletin board of Dublin, Ireland's Mount Temple High School looking for musicians to form a band. Six or seven students came to his house to audition, but a few in particular stood out. One was Dave Evans, whose guitar-playing skills seemed well beyond his years. Another was Adam Clayton, who looked the part of a rock and roller, with his bushy hair and caftan coat, bass guitar, and amp. Then Paul Hewson arrived, and though he could neither play guitar nor sing, this "charismatic character" was let into the band anyway. "I was in charge for the first five minutes, Mullen told Time magazine. "But as soon as Bono got there, I was out of a job." None of the four teenagers realized that out of that first meeting in Mullen's cramped kitchen they would form one of the most influential bands of the last twenty years. But the ragtag group was still in need of a name. For a while, they performed under the monikers Feedback (because that was the sound they made) and Hype (for the lack of it surrounding the band), but they were looking for something a little more ambiguous. A friend suggested U2 because there were so many items with that name, including the spy plane, the submarine, a battery, and the obvious references to "you, too" and "you two." Now they had a name and had learned a few cover tunes, but there was still one problem: U2 was bad. So bad that they had to stop butchering other people's songs and start writing their own. ...More |
