U2
Three Chords And The Truth
by Niall Stokes & The Editors of HOT PRESS MAGAZINE
U2 merged out the white-hot cauldron of punk and New Wave music in the late seventies - but it was in the eighties that they finally and forever entered that pantheon of rock greats inhabited by Elvis, The Beatles, The Stones, Dylan, Springsteen and Prince.
The story of how, with a combination of musical originality, intensely exciting live pergormances and politicaly committed world view, U2 justifiably laid claim to the title of "greatest rock band in the world", is just part of the extraordinary saga unfolded in U2: Three Chords and The Truth.
The definitive, up-to-date collection of reviews, interviews and behind-the -scenes reports from the back pages of Hot Press - the Irish rock magazine that has authoritatively monitored U2's development since their schoool days in Dublin - U2: Three Chords and the Truth also presents revealing insights into the personalities behind the phenomenom, as Bono, The Edge, Adam and Larry, talk candidly and at lenght about themselves, the music business and the band.
Opening with coverage of their historic performance at live Aid, the book goes on to give a blow-by-blow account of U2 hurling towards the nineties, via "The oshua Tree", "Rattle and Hum" , the live shows that rocked the world and much more besides.
Critical, entertaining, comprehensiveand revealing, U2: Three Chords and the Truth never misses a beat as it brings you in words and pictures a complete portrait of a band in the process of becaming a legend.
