Why U2? #52 – Their Future

I started writing these Why U2? articles a year ago this week, and in that time we’ve covered a lot of reasons that U2 is more than just my favorite band. They represent a way of life for me, and for many of you, I’m sure. Everything we’ve discussed, from their sense of humor to […]

Why U2? #49 – They Always Leave Me Wanting More

It was PT Barnum who famously said “Always leave them wanting more”, and I believe that U2 took that piece of advice to heart. There are almost innumerable pieces of music out there that are known to exist but which have yet to see an official release of any sort. A few of these are […]

Why U2? #48 – The Whole is Greater Than the Sum of its Parts

Earlier this week, I was listening to a  band who isn’t U2, (I’m not going to say who because this isn’t about tearing anyone down), and I remembered reading about how the particular record I was spinning was recorded with each band member recording their parts separately, in different studios in different parts of the […]

Why U2? #47 – Their Gratitude

I’ve heard and read a lot of reasons over the years that people have for hating U2, especially Bono, but none of them have ever been that the band were rude or anything less than gracious in person. It must get old to not be able to leave the house without being pestered for autographs […]

Why U2? #46 – Their Failures

I have a pretty clear memory of the first time I viewed the Pop*Mart Live From Mexico concert on VHS, particularly the part right before “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For”. Bono was thanking the audience for sticking with the band, talking about their motivations for making an album like Pop (which I […]

Why U2? #45 – They’re Weird

Some of you might have taken a look at that title, accusing U2 of “weirdness” and thought “he’s finally lost the little bit of his mind that he was holding to” but hear me out, and I think I can bring you around to my way of thinking. First of all, let’s talk about what […]

Why U2? #43 – Beating the Odds

I’ve been thinking a lot recently about all the things that have happened over the years, all the reasons for there to never have been a U2, or for the band to no longer continue. To start with, when the band initially formed none of the guys really knew how to play their instruments.

Why U2? #42 – Love

In the debate about who the greatest band of all time is, one widely-held opinion (other than U2, which we all know to be the correct answer to that question ;P) is that The Beatles belong at the top of the rock n roll heap.

Why U2? #41 – Giving Everything Their All

My wife said something to me earlier tonight that really got me thinking. She said that U2 “put it all on the line, every time.” I think that’s true, and it made me think of something similar that Bono once said about the band’s attitude toward playing live, which is that every night is like […]

Why U2? #34 – The Color of Music

Every band has moods to their music, I think, although that’s less true with some artists than it is with others. Some artists seem to focus on one mood – anger, for instance – throughout their entire body of work. Most, though have at least a a couple of songs that delve into romance or […]
