It’s no accident that footage of Bono parading with a white flag with “Sunday Bloody Sunday” blaring in the background became the defining moment of U2’s early career - there rarely was a band that believed so deeply in rock’s potential for revolution as U2, and there rarely was a band whose members didn’t care if they appeared foolish in the process. And their lead singer, Bono, was a frontman with a knack of grand gestures that played better in stadiums than small clubs. and Adam Clayton played the songs as driving hard rock, giving the band a forceful, powerful edge that was designed for arenas.
Though the Edge’s style wasn’t conventional, the rhythm section of Larry Mullen, Jr. The Edge provided the group with a signature sound by creating sweeping sonic landscapes with his heavily processed, echoed guitars. Through a combination of zealous righteousness and post-punk experimentalism, U2 became one of the most popular rock & roll bands in the world - equally known for their sweeping sound as for their grandiose statements about politics and religion.
