U2 (band)

Some human rights causes helped by U2 include:. Former members:. In 2003, Bono was named on the short list of nominees for the Nobel Peace Prize. The band currently consists of the following members:. Bono is perhaps the best-known advocate for finding a cure for AIDS and helping the impoverished in Africa. As of July 2002, Weezer had sold more than 5,000,000 copies of their albums. U2 is almost as well known for its humanitarian nature as it is for its music. The DVD hit hard on the DVD compilation charts and was declared "Gold" on November 8, 2004.

[2] (http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/artist_database/236/236.html). Titled "Video Capture Device", the DVD contains all of their current music videos, live concerts, and homemade movies. U2 also had a big influence on artists of various kinds like the Austrian painter Kave Atefie (http://www.kave.at) who dedicated successfully two art-series ('Like a promise in the year of election' and 'Outside it's America') to the work of the Irish band. In March of 2004, Weezer released their first DVD. Also many other musicians were influenced by the work of U2 - there are several cover versions of U2 songs by bands like Pet Shop Boys and The Chimes and musicians like Mica Paris and Johnny Cash. "Keep Fishin'" combined Weezer with The Muppets and became an MTV staple. His poem 'A thanksgiving prayer' was used as video-footage during the bands Zoo-TV-Tour in the early 1990's. However, it was the follow up, "Keep Fishin'", that would place Weezer in an elite group of defining music video makers of the early 2000s.

Burroughs who had a guest appearance in their video of Last Night on Earth shortly before he died. Their video for "Photograph" was a staple for Much Music USA (now Fuse). Maladroit's "Dope Nose" was unspectacular at best, though it was put into a rather regular rotation. author William S. They then recorded two videos for "Island in the Sun," the first focusing on a Mexican wedding, and the second involving Weezer with animals in a wildlife reserve. U2 also worked together with other artists, like the U.S. It would take the sumo clip of "Hash Pipe" (or as the title card stated, "H*** Pipe") to bring Weezer back into the eyes of music video viewers. Two of the tracks, Miss Sarajevo and Your Blue Room, even made it to their best of album for 1990-2000. However, Weezer's Pinkerton videos were not well played and quickly forgotten.

The work is a compilation of film music for nonexistent movies, and a bit of a step back from the usual style of the band. The video is akin to other defining videos of the 90s such as Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and Smashing Pumpkins' "Tonight, Tonight," because all three of these videos helped the artists reach an audience not often reached by alternative rock bands. While working under the pseudonym "Passengers," U2 gave producer Brian Eno quite a bit more creative control and cranked out the album Original Sountracks 1. While "Undone (The Sweater Song)" was big on MTV, it was the Spike Jonze-directed "Buddy Holly" video, which used footage from various episodes of Happy Days, that made them pop icons. Beside their band-project, U2 and its members also worked with other musicians, such as the Irish band Clannad with which Bono recorded the song "In A Lifetime." Together with The Edge, Bono wrote the song "GoldenEye" for the James Bond movie of the same name, which was performed by Tina Turner. They also wrote the song "She's A Mystery To Me" for Roy Orbison, which was released on his album Mystery Girl, while Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Junior did a remix of the title track of the movie Mission: Impossible in 1996. Weezer is also very well known for their innovative music videos. Kings of Leon will be supporting U2 for the American leg of this tour. Later the name Goat Punishment was used while the members of Weezer recorded a show for the HBO concert series, Reverb.

In Vancouver, Canada, the band had scheduled one show but tickets sold out in 5 minutes, so a second show was added. Their first shows under the pseudonym featured the new Weezer lineup (now featuring Mikey Welsh) playing covers of songs by Nirvana and Oasis. In Belgium and in Austria the tickets were sold within 60 minutes. Weezer has also played several shows under the pseudonym Goat Punishment. U2 have smashed Irish box office records with ticket sales for their Dublin concerts, after more than 150,000 were sold within 50 minutes. The discovery set the tentative date for the release of the fifth album, Make Believe, as April or May of 2005. The DVD carries a video of an exclusive live performance of "Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own" from the band's Dublin studio, and a Trent Reznor remix of "Vertigo.". On Friday, January 7, 2005 several Weezer fans noticed that several radio stations had announced the next single from the band (entitled "Beverly Hills") would be released on March 21 or March 22 of the same year.

The single will be available on 2 CD formats and a DVD single. In the summer and early fall of 2004, the members of Weezer recorded a large amount of material intended for a new album to be released in the spring of 2005. The performance is a Jacknife Lee remix of "Ave Maria" sung by Bono with Luciano Pavarotti.The B-Side of the single also includes a remix of the hit "Vertigo" and a Jacknife Lee remix of "Fast Cars." Fast Cars is an album track available only on the UK and Japan versions and American deluxe editions of Atomic Bomb. A fourth album, Maladroit, was released in 2002 (see 2002 in music), and served as a departure from the catchy pop-influenced music of The Green Album. In Europe, the next single released from the album - "Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own" - will feature once again a Bono/Pavarotti performance on the B-side. This album quickly became known as The Green Album. Shortly after the release of The Green Album, Weezer went on another American tour, attracting many new fans along the way. On March 14, 2005, U2 was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in their first year of eligibility. Weezer (2001) was self-titled again to signify a sort of rebirth for Weezer.

In April 2004, Rolling Stone magazine placed U2 in its fifty "greatest rock & roll artists of all time". The band was now considered firmly part of the group it had been lambasted for trying to enter during the late 1980s. Eventually, the band went back into the studio to produce a third album. They then played a free concert at a Brooklyn park, attracting over 3,000 fans who had learned of the show on various U2 fan websites. During the tour, Cuomo began writing songs again, and Weezer played some of them live. The band made a video for the second North American single, "All Because Of You," while riding on a flatbed truck through the streets of Manhattan on November 22. The tour was a huge hit, and sold out several of the large venues it traveled to. Purchasers of the special edition iPod also were eligible for a $50 discount on the purchase of the complete band catalog from iTunes. In 2000, Weezer re-formed and went on tour without a new album.

In a further partnership with Apple Computer, the band licensed a special version of the iPod music player with a U2 design (black faceplate with red click wheel, echoing the color scheme for the new album) and facsimilies of the bandmembers' signatures etched on the back plate. However, thanks to word-of-mouth and a strong following on internet, Weezer's popularity continued to grow. In another first, the band allowed the single "Vertigo" to be used in a widely-aired iTunes television commercial; though the band did not receive any royalties for the use of the song, due to the commercial the song was well known even before the release of the album. During this time little public information was being released about the state of the band. They made appearances on TV shows like CD:UK and The Jonathan Ross Show in Britain and Saturday Night Live in America. A five-year recording drought followed the release of Pinkerton, with Rivers spending more time at Harvard and playing solo shows in Boston. U2 promoted How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb heavily. Rolling Stone Magazine, which in 1996 labeled Pinkerton the Worst Album of the Year, updated their view in 2004 and inducted Pinkerton into its Album Hall of Fame, giving a brand new five-star review rating.

This was a record for the band, nearly doubling the first-week sales of All That You Can't Leave Behind in the USA. Over the years, the album grew in popularity, and is often now pointed out by major rock critics as a alternative rock masterpiece. It sold 840,000 units in the United States in its first week. From an industry perspective, the album was not originally seen as a critical or financial success . The album debuted at #1 in 32 countries, including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and the band's native Ireland. Songs like "The Good Life" and "El Scorcho" were scribed during Cuomo's time at Harvard, and feature personal reflections on the change from rock star to anonymous student. The album, titled How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, was released on November 22 in much of the world and November 23 in the United States. The title of the album was inspired by a character in the opera Madame Butterfly written by one of Cuomo's favorite artists, Giacomo Puccini.

The song received extensive airplay in the first week after its release and debuted at #18 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart at #46 on the Billboard Hot 100, at #1 on the UK Singles Chart, and #5 on the Australian ARIAnet singles chart. Weezer's sophmore effort, Pinkerton, was released on September 24, 1996 The album was given lackluster reviews by critics (see 1996 in music), and sales of the album were low compared to their debut. No such pre-release of the album occurred, however, and the first single from the album, titled "Vertigo", was released for airplay on September 24, 2004. Ultimately, the Songs from the Black Hole album concept was dropped, but many of the songs from the sessions were used on their second album. Shortly thereafter, Bono stated that, should the album appear on P2P networks, it would be released immediately via iTunes and be in stores within a month. The band began demoing and working on Rivers' concept through intermittent recording sessions in the spring and summer of 1995. A rough-cut of the band's follow-up album was stolen in Nice, France, in July 2004 [1] (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/3897987.stm). The album would feature songs that flowed together seamlessly, and end with a special coda that briefly revisited the major musical elements of the piece.

I especially like the bassline." The track went to the top of the UK singles charts in February 2004 and also went top 5 in Ireland and top ten in Australia. Rivers Cuomo traveled back east to his home state of Connecticut, and using an eight-track recorder, he began piecing together demo material for Weezer's next album. Coumo's original concept for Weezer's sophmore effort was to be a space-themed rock opera, Songs from the Black Hole. Adam Clayton said of the track: "It's a good beat and you can dance to it. In late December, 1994, Weezer took a break from touring for the Christmas holiday. All four members of U2 had to clear the track, which was released under the title of LMC vs U2. The Blue Album included the hit singles "Buddy Holly," "Undone (The Sweater Song)," and "Say it Ain't So." The video of "Buddy Holly" was included on the CD-ROM of Windows 95. Dance artists LMC sampled "With or Without You" for their track "Take Me To The Clouds Above" which also features lyrics from "How Will I Know" by Whitney Houston. On May 10, 1994, Weezer released their self-titled album, which became known as The Blue Album (see 1994 in music).

Bono continued his campaigns for debt and HIV/AIDS relief throughout the summer of 2002. In late 2002, U2 released part two of its greatest hits collection, The Best of 1990-2000. The recording of the album finished in early October 1993, and the band headed back to L.A. A few months later, All That You Can't Leave Behind picked up four more Grammy Awards. Cropper's guitar parts were rerecorded by Cuomo, and Bell replaced Cropper's vocals. That image would appear on numerous magazine covers and newspapers. After the recording of the album, guitarist Jason Cropper was fired from the band by Cuomo. Cropper was replaced by guitarist Brian Bell, a former member of the band Carnival Art. At the end of the performance, Bono opened his jacket to reveal an American flag printed on the lining. Ric Ocasek, former singer/songwriter for The Cars, was chosen as producer.

The undisputed highlight of the show was an emotional performance of "Where the Streets Have No Name" in which the names of the victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks, projected onto a pair of backdrops, floated up towards the sky behind the band. The band began recording their debut album in late August 1993 at Electric Lady Studios in New York City. After the Elevation tour ended in late 2001, the culmination of U2's resurrection came when the band performed a spectacular three-song set in New Orleans, Louisiana during halftime of Super Bowl XXXVI. The band was signed onto the DGC label (later became Interscope). Following such an accomplished album, and a hugely successful tour, many fans felt that U2 had been successful in "re-applying for the job of the biggest band in the world", an application Bono had made a year earlier. Soon the band began to receive attention from various A&R reps, and was signed on June 25, 1993 by Todd Sullivan, an A&R rep from Geffen Records.

The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 nearly led U2 to cancel the tour, but they decided to continue, starting the second American leg of the tour at the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana, home of the "Fighting Irish". Five weeks later they had their first gig, opening for Dogstar (featuring Keanu Reeves) at Raji's Bar and Ribshack on Hollywood Boulevard. Weezer began playing clubs to small audiences around L.A. The Elevation tour saw the band performing in a scaled down setting, on a heart shaped stage.

U2 followed that release with a major tour in the spring of 2001.

El Scorcho (1996). The album was intended as an additional EP to Achtung Baby, but soon Zooropa expanded into a full-fledged LP and released in July of 1993.
