Here's a full list of all the artists that I've listened to the complete discography of in the past 3 years, at the rate of 3 or 4 albums per day. Part of the initiation into this gang was getting a nickname. Just remember that in Ireland, a banger is a sausage, so it may not have been as tough as it sounds. Plus the dude could sing.įun fact: Hewson was in a gang. He had something to say, and something to prove. That’s some genuine portrait-of-the-artist-as-a-young-man stuff right there. posted his flyer, he got an angry, wounded, political young man who was still in mourning for his lost mom.
Remember that in Ireland they had decade after decade of religious and political strife. Mixed, in this context, meaning that his dad was Catholic and his mom was not. He was the second son of a mixed Irish family. Hewson was also a Dubliner, born there in 1960. One of those who showed up to join the Larry Mullen band was Paul Hewson. So, better than Kijiji, with 100% less stalkers. Quite literally, since he posted it on a board in an old school. None of your fancy ones-and-zeros electronica here. And when I say message board, I mean one made of cork. So he did the only sane thing he could: he put up a poster on a message board to recruit some people to play in a band. But when he was attending Mount Temple Comprehensive School in 1976, he decided that he wanted to give up the glitz and glamor of playing at Football matches and instead fill massive stadiums with rabid fans. He grew up playing drums in marching bands (because only the coolest drummers are in marching bands) and developed a distinctive, martial style of playing. Rolls right off the tongue.īut U2 fans know that without Larry, there is no band. And nothing screams Rock more than the name Lawrence Joseph Mullen Jr. Time for us to check out another monster band. Well, if you can’t be classy, at least be classic.
