Despite the fact that the four members of U2 are cultured, sophisticated world citizens, there’s no denying that, even for them, there’s no place like home. Home for U2 is Dublin, Ireland and our guys have, over the years, worked with many luminaries of the local music scene. Many of those connections are re-forged for […]
Read MoreU2 have been working on new music, The Edge has revealed.
The guitarist told Ciara’s Pink Sparkle Podcast he is “extremely thankful” that he has been able to lockdown at home in Dalkey.

Fifteen years ago, the members of U2 celebrated their thirtieth anniversary in the band. That was a big deal, especially when one considers that the same four guys have been in the band all along…there haven’t been personnel changes like one finds in other bands with long-lasting careers, such as the Rolling Stones or Pink […]
Read MoreU2 VidWorks – Window in the Skies (Version 1)
This has got to be one of the most creative and innovative music videos that I have ever seen. I am talking about the first video for U2’s “Window in the Skies,” which was released in 2006. The concept of the video is kind of an all-star concert involving many of the greatest musicians of […]

2005 was a bit of a messed up year, especially for those unfortunate souls living in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. Hurricane Katrina landed that year, and to many observers, it seemed that the federal government was not very concerned with trying to help the victims of that natural disaster. It should come as no surprise […]

This week, we are taking a look at the videos for what Bono has called “the best song on the album,” (“the album” being “How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb”). That song is “Original of the Species,” and the band made two videos for the song. The two videos are related in that they both […]

Sometimes, a piece of music is so extraordinary that it forces the listener to do things that they would not normally do. For instance, I have had a pretty firm rule about covering only U2 songs in this series of articles, but the new song “We Are the People,” performed by Martin Garrix, Bono, and […]

Before I get into the meat of this week’s article, I just want to leave a quick note to say “happy birthday” to my personal hero, the best front-man in the land, Bono. Now that that’s out of the way, let’s get into it. The range of years from 2004-2005 was a good time to […]
Read MoreU2 VidWorks – Sometimes You Can’t Make It on Your Own
There are three variations of the video for the second single, “Sometimes You Can’t Make It on Your Own” from U2’s eleventh album, “How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb.” All three of these videos used some of the same video footage, and two of them are, in fact, extremely similar — with only some changes […]
Read MoreU2 VidWorks – All Because of You
If you are a regular reader of my posts, it should come as no surprise that this week we are discussing my absolute favorite music video ever made, U2’s promotional video for “All Because of You.” There is just SO much energy and excitement oozing out of every frame of this video, I can’t help […]
