Bono
And U2
| Through
a combination of zealous righteousness and post-punk
experimentalism, U2 became one of the most popular rock
& roll bands of the '80s. Equally known for their
sweeping sound as for their grandiose statement about
politics and religion, U2 were rock & roll crusaders
during an era of synthesized pop and heavy metal. The
Edge provided the group with a signature sound by creating
sweeping sonic landscapes with his heavily processed,
echoed guitars. Though the Edge's style wasn't conventional,
the rhythm section of Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen
Jr. played the songs as driving hard-rock, giving the
band a forceful, powerful edge that was designed for
arena rock. And their lead singer, Bono, was frontman
who had a knack of grand gestures that played better
in arenas than small clubs. |
