curious. name a current mainstream artist you like-someone who's released new music within the past five to seven years.
So do you only like "rock" that is played on the radio? If you don't want to think outside of the mainstream box, you're missing out on good music.
actually they started out as a "christian" rock band.
I heard that too. ...actually remember hearing it from you on eZabel previously. Tho, At some point they were basically a group played songs by The Clash according to one radio interview.. what they claimed on air anyway, and seems to be a silly thing to lie about. Whether before the so called "Christian" phase or after... I couldn't say. In that particular interview they didn't mention that phase of their career, so didn't know anything about that... but I don't deny it as part of their career. I don't know... Maybe they've done both the "Christian" thing and the cover band thing. I could very well see the "Christian" thing coming from U2. Especially since their Irish. I mean, certain songs they did after being signed on label had "religousness" as themes or at least a mention intertwined somewhere across they're lyrics. So makes sense if they started as a full-on religous rock band.
yeah they'll say they started knowing music from the clash and would practice but they were a christian rock band. they broke up at one point cause adam clayton wanted to live the "wayward" life so bono pulled him back in and since they were growing up their music evolved. and most of their music now has double meaning...mostly their older stuff, like with ot with out you...thats about religion not being able to live w/the religions of today but still not being able to live w/o it in your life.
*U2 is one of my fav bands
