Product Description

Product Description

While other bands have fallen by the way side, Bono's U2 have continued to reinvent themselves: from early punk origins to the rootsy rock and soul of Rattle and Hum; from the postmodern pop of Zooropa to the classic rock of At the Ends of The Earth.

Packed with rare photos and memorabilia, tour logs, places of U2 interest and a who's who of U2 and featuring the definitive discography, this is the ultimate fans' compendium for the greatest rock 'n' roll band of the post-punk age.

Fresh from the success of their new hit album, U2 will be touring the US in the summer of 2001.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have for all U2 fans, May 28 2003
By A Customer
Filled with intriguing facts--from the origin of Bono's name (a hearing aid store called Bonovox, which means "good voice" in Latin) to the story of how the band got its start (a notice posted by Larry while all the members of the band were still in high school)--Mark Chatterton has compiled an extensive guide to one of the greatest bands of all time. With a fresh and entertaining writing style, this encyclopedia is highly recommended for both casual and fanatical U2 fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice book!, Jul 4 2002
Its about time someone truly wrote an authentic "Encyclopedia" about U2. I bought it for the soul reason that it's about my favorite group (yes i am a fanatic). My opinion might be a little biased but I think if you've ever wanted to know anything, and quite possibly everything, about U2 then this is the book. Its not to be read like a normal book, but to flip through it. Come across a concert you might have attended, find out some tidbit about the members or the band as a whole that you didn't know, or just as a refrence for the fellow fanatic.

5.0 out of 5 stars All you ever wanted to know about U2 + MORE!, Jun 29 2002
By Jamie Davis "u2s_pet_raptor" (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is my U2 Bible. It has everything you ever dreamed of knowing about U2, and it answers questions you've never even wondered about the band. It lists every single song ever recorded by the band and all the facts on them, the book has bios on all the band members, the stories of the tours, specific incidents in U2's career, and gives a wonderful history of their musical career. There is also a lot of facts about the band before they came together to form U2. I mean, how many people know all there is to know about U2? Well, read this book cover to cover, and you'll know probably more about U2 than they can remember for themselves! I used this book for a research paper on the band and used a good 50% of it as my main source! It's a must for any die-hard U2 fan. THE GOAL IS SOUL!
