U2 BIOS

Adam Clayton -- Born in Chinnor, Oxfordshire, England on March 13, 1960, Adam Clayton went from trying to live on the fringes of society to basking in the glow of its spotlight...

Bono -- On May 10, 1960, little did Iris Hewson know that she'd given birth to a rock superstar. From the moment he was born, after bawling his brains out then and for weeks to come, Paul Hewson has never stopped craving attention from his adoring fans...

Edge -- ...After he and his brother Dik responded to a note posted by schoolmate Larry Mullen, Dave would soon find himself on a wild transformation from ordinary Dave Evans, amateur guitarist, to more-than-extraordinary The Edge, established musician responsible for leaving us numb with his definitive style of guitar playing...

Larry Mullen, Jr. -- Larry...first became interested in music by following the influence of his sister who played the piano...This, however, did not work out for the aspiring young musician, and just as he was ready to abandon his musical career altogether, Larry found his calling: drums...

The Beginnings of U2 -- The glitz, the glamour, the music and the mania, the attitude and agenda to save the world - it all began with a note pinned to Mount Temple's school noticeboard, relating 'money wasted on a drum kit' and inquiring whether there were others out there who'd done the same on guitars. With that, Larry Mullen Jr. had intended to form a rock band, but what he did indeed initiate was an international phenomenon and a rock 'n' roll revolution...

Note from Molee: I'm not the sentimental eejit that my writing makes me out to be. A lot of those sentiments came from the book that we based most of the bios on. Much of the info came from Eamon Dunphy's Unforgettable Fire, which U2 has voiced their disappointment over. But we had no other - or rather more reliable - sources, so... you take what you can get, right??
