U2's Bono was one of the few real rock heroes of the 1980s, leading the Irish band to international recognition with a charged, political approach to music. The band's early efforts brought a stadium-size presence to alt-rock, with Bono's expressive vocals and the Edge's distinct guitar lines interacting seamlessly with the rhythm section of bassist Adam Clayton and drummer Larry Mullen, Jr. In 1987, U2 broke through to superstardom with THE JOSHUA TREE, a grand culmination of their '80s soun...Read More >

When my brother and I were in high school we bought a 1967 Chevy Impala with a 283 V8 and 4 barrel carb, complete leaky fuel line and a hole in the roof above the rear view mirror, paying $25 for it.
We promptly went to the Fisher Big Wheel (a sorta low-rent K-Mart) and bought a tape deck and two small speakers for $35. At this point we were broke, and proceeded to make some sweet cassette tapes of various albums. Not having anything to cut through the rear seat deck p... MORE

Technically, this is a song from U2's "Rattle and Hum", but I didn't discover it until I bought this greatest hits package. I have always been lukewarm about U2. They are incredibly hit and miss with me, but I liked enough of the songs that they put on this disc to go ahead and just buy it.
I thought that maybe I would warm up the band a little more if I exposed myself to some of their better material. Well, I still woul... MORE

I keep heading to the U2.com web site to see if there's any new news on the band’s upcoming album, but instead the site is flooded with nonstop banter about U2 in 3D (soooo two months ago) and "The Ballard of Ronnie Drew." It seems the single, written by the Edge, Bono, Grateful Dead lyricists Robert Hunter and some other folks has taken Ireland by storm and crept its way up to the Number One Spot on the Irish charts. (I can just see Irish folks at the pub, waving their Gui... MORE

"There's so much material," Lanois told Billboard.com. "When you get Eno and I and those guys in the room, before lunch there's like eight things." Rumors have been circling that the band has enough new material for two ... MORE

Bono is a very charismatic speaker, maybe he should have given the speech at Cannes instead of his idiot manager. http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=080124190921.4cjmzupc&show_article=1... MORE

From ZDNet.com
By Larry Dignan Amazon announced Sunday that it plans an international rollout of its DRM -free MP3 music download service in a move that sets up a global scrap with Apple’s iTunes service. Is Amazon’s service an iTunes killer yet? Not really. But there’s no doubt about Amazon’s intentions. I’ve downloaded more than a few DRM -free tunes from Amazon in recent weeks–most because I got a warning about burning more than seven CDs for a 5 year old’s ... MORE
