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.”
