If I’m honest, sometimes U2 get on my nerves a little bit. When I’m feeling petulant or depressed, when I want to wallow in a bad mood, I usually want to listen to something other than my favorite band. Bono’s spoken before about how difficult it can be to capture the emotion of joy in […]
Read MoreFamous Larry Lines
Despite having the reputation for being the quietest, most non-approachable member of U2, Larry Mullen Jr. is responsible for many memorable quotes over the years. My all-time favorite Larry line, and part of which I still use frequently, is from the Achtung Baby documentary that aired on MTV in 1992. Larry said, “I don’t think […]
Read MoreNever Leave a U2 Show Early – U2 360 Nashville 7.2.11
One of the lessons I have learned on my musical journey on the road with U2 is to never ever leave a concert early. Not that anyone would willingly leave a U2 concert early, but you might feel it is safe to make your way out of the stadium when you see the band walking […]
Read MoreCovering U2 – Cleopatra Records’ We Will Follow
The very first U2 tribute album that I ever bought was We Will Follow, a collection put together by, and featuring artists from, Cleopatra Records, a label known mostly for their gothic and industrial output. I confess that, like I imagine many of you must be, I was somewhat skeptical about whether or not the […]
Read MoreU2 101 – Elevation
Its funny, but I still tend to think of All That You Can’t Leave Behind as “new”, even though it’ll celebrate its 14th anniversary this year.

Read MoreWhy U2? – Reason #8
If you listen to a lot of rock music, you start to realize after a while that most bass players don’t have a personality. Maybe I should say instead that their playing lacks personality, as the norm for rock music seems to be for the bass to simply follow along with the guitar melody like […]

Read MoreLarry is the Yin to Bono’s Yang
When most people, not us crazy fans, think of U2, they think of Bono. He is considered the face of U2. Various news outlets even refer to U2 as ‘Bono and the Band’ or ‘Bono and the Boys.’ This infuriates me to no end. As Bono himself once said, U2 is like a four-legged table, […]
Read MoreWorlds Colliding – U2 ZooTv DC 8.16.92
Have your worlds ever collided? If you don’t know what I am talking about, then they haven’t. Your worlds collide when two of your passions burst together to create one amazing experience. This happened to me 22 years ago when my favorite band played a song by my favorite singer/entertainer on the 15th anniversary of […]
Read MoreCovering U2 in 8-bit
The internet is a weird and wonderful place. You probably already know that – at least the “wonderful” part, since you’ve obviously discovered this website – but there’s so much to see and do online that we sometimes miss stuff simply because we don’t know to look for it. Well, dear readers, that’s where U2radio.com […]
