Dave obviously is a huge U2 fan. He's been a part of their career for a while now.

I remember this interview as "the one where Larry speaks". And with charm like that, he should do a lot more of it!

Classy guys. Had a chance to meet them during the Unforgettable Fire tour. So generous.

I bumped into them in Hampstead Heath in London when I was doing a semester abroad. I had been working at a radio station which broke them in the U.S. during college. It was the first hot day and everyone was in tank tops and shorts. Bono and The Edge were wearing head to toe leather. ( They wanted to be noticed.) I was right behind them and I called out, "Bono, Bono," as I wanted to let them know that I worked at that radio station and to have a small chat They acted like they didn't hear me and kept walking. 😀 Counter that with me bumping into Mike Peters a few weeks later from The Alarm (our station also broke them) and Mike was the nicest guy, very friendly.

I discovered U2 by accident lol. It was during the time when KZfaq was new in the internet. I didn't know what was the exact name of KZfaq's website back then. I was surfing the internet, searched "Utube" then I clicked U2's website and the rest was history. Been a U2 fan since then.

I remember that week very clearly. I was lucky to enough to be at Dave’s during that wonderful week. A good friend was working with Dave. These mate’s are the real thing. Loved when they were shoveling. Lol 😆

Despite liking their music, I've never watched a U2 interview before, no better place to start then with Letterman right?

Free speech: I’ve listened to u2 since 1983 but damn are they articulate on a talk show! U2 are fantastic talkers: I don’t know why they were never talk show hosts at some point or idol hosts etc

Love U2... grew up with em, some of my earliest memories of getting into music, huge influence... but their latest output hasn't been very memorable to me personally, and this Songs of Surrender re-recorded versions, a lot of them don't appeal to me

Why Does Adam sound so English?

@RowenMyBoat 3 ай бұрын

Most likely the community where he was raised or how his family spoke. The UK and Ireland can have accents that are totally almost understandable due to the area of the country they were raised in.

The only thing is this is one of the most boring bands in history. Every thing they do sounds the same. The only explanation of there success is the gullibility of the record buying public who sometimes fail to see what’s talent and what’s bs. Give me rock and roll anytime 😢
