Drawing on extensive interviews with insiders including record label scouts, studio presidents, politicians, music critics, and childhood friends, Jobling investigates the U2's most personal relationships and controversial business practices, delivering a vivid portrait that traces the rock phenomenon from its conception to post-punk champions to political crusaders. Filled with captivating revelations, reader will learn: How Bono, the Edge, and Larry Mullen, Jr. worshipped with a charismatic Christian church that practiced speaking in tongues during the band's early days ; Insider stories of the genesis and recording of classic albums such as The Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby ; Creative tensions within the band and power struggles among management ; How the disappointments of the Rattle and Hum film and PopMart Tour spurred the band to greater creative heights ; Both the successes and controversies of Bono's wide-sweeping philanthropic and political ventures ; The disconnect between the band's personal lives and public personas. Sure to inspire debate with every music lover, this book humanizes the band and paints an honest picture of a band's rise to the top, plunging into the heart and underlying soul of this iconic rock and roll band"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 782.42166 U2 Jo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 782.42166 U2 Jo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waialua Public Library Adult Biography B U2 Jo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waimanalo P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 782.42166 U2 Jo Checked In Add Copy to MyList
