Yahoo! Music has posted a three-part interview with "three well-balanced and fun loving men who--in their spare time--play music in the biggest rock ‘n' roll band in the world."
What's helped propel rockers U2 to the very top of the pop heap?
Never doing what any record company has ever told them, says the band's superstar lead vocalist, Bono.
In this, the second part of Y! Music's U2 interview, Bono, the Edge and Adam Clayton discuss the contrast between making music on one hand, then going out to promote it on the other. "You go away for a couple of years. Why should [people] be thinking about you? So we want to remind them that we're here, and we'll ask them to--what do they say in the Oscars? `We thank you for your consideration.'"
One of the most memorable moments of U2's lengthy career was--by the band's own account--their participation in the celebration of the inauguration of new US president Barack Obama.
Bono: "To find yourself on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial--where he gave his ‘I Have A Dream' speech, and to be asked to be there by this president, who in many ways was squaring the circle, and part of realizing Dr. King's dream--that was a very special moment for us."
