Bono writes most of the lyrics, though The Edge has written some too (parts of songs like "Sunday Bloody Sunday," "Seconds," and "Wake Up Dead Man"). The entire band collaborates on the actual writing of the music, though The Edge seems to take the lead in that respect.
How many U-2 planes have crashed?
In the current issue of Air & Space (May 2012) it states that"five U-2s were shot down with Russian=developedSA-2 surface-to-air missiles . . ." This is a in an article where a Chinese pilot is interviewed and the context is U-2s shot down by the Chinese. The statement is made, however, by the interviewer as partof a question and not by the Chinese pilot, so I assume it is accurate. I also assume that this is in addition to Gary Powers being shot down over Russia. Reading this was the first I had heard of other U-2s being shot down.
Why was the Paris summit conference cancelled in 1960?

He has tried to dispel gay rumors by saying he was engaged to a supermodel (Naomi Campell)
However, in one interview, he was asked the following question:
Q: Are you gay with Michael Frederick
A: Ya all night every night ;
... though he had also just answered that he also told lies
The US claimed that the plane was a weather research aircraft which had strayed into SU airspace, denying that it was a spy plane.
What is the meaning of the U2 song 'Sunday Bloody Sunday'?
I think, though not entirely sure, may need backing up on this.. but i believe Bono was trying to contrast the 1972 Bloody Sunday massacre with Easter Sunday, a peaceful day Protestants and Catholics both celebrate.
Here's a little somthing i dug out on a website [it sounds more import then mine XD]
Bloody Sunday is the term used to describe an incident in Derry, Northern Ireland, on 30 January 1972 in which 26 civil rights protesters were shot by members of the first Battalion of the British Parachute Regiment led by Lieutenant-Colonel Derek Wilford and his second-in-command Captain Mike Jackson, who had joint responsibility for the operation, during a Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association march in the Bogside area of the city. Thirteen people, six of whom were minors, died immediately, while the death of another person 4½ months later has been attributed to the injuries he received on the day. Two protesters were injured when they were run down by army vehicles. Many witnesses including bystanders and journalists testify that all those shot were unarmed. Five of those wounded were shot in the back.
The Provisional Irish Republican Army's (IRA) campaign against Northern Ireland being a part of the United Kingdom had begun in the two years prior to Bloody Sunday, but perceptions of the day boosted the status of and recruitment into the organisation. Bloody Sunday remains among the most significant events in the recent troubles of Northern Ireland, arguably because it was carried out by the army and not paramilitaries, and in full public and press view.
This was an extremely important day in Ireland's history, and one that Bono felt deserved immortality not other for being such a gruesome day, but through his song as well.

With Or Without Out You u2 album name?
The song with or without you is on the Joshua tree if that's what you're asking.
The U-2 was a top secret high altitude spy plane that was shot down by the Soviets on 5 May 1960, over Russian territory. At first, President Eisenhower denied it was a spy plane, claiming it was a weather plane blown off course, because he believed the pilot was killed in the crash or, as U-2 pilots were supposed to do, committed suicide. The Russians announced they had the pilot, Francis Gary Powers, and he had been captured and confessed to being a spy. Eisenhower then took responsibility for ordering the flight and the Soviet Premier Khrushchev canceled the meeting between the two leaders that was going to take place in Russia. The U-2 incident only increased tensions between the two Cold War powers.

Not exactly. They don't curse in their lyrics, and that's a charictaristic generally attributed to christian music (with the exception of pretty boy pop bands like dashboard conffesional) however, almost none of they're lyrics talk about God, or Salvation or any other componant of Christianity.
But if they aren't why did they sing Amazing Grace at their concert in Arlington Tx?

Better data collection not ony provides decisionmakers better data from which to make decisions, but also acts as an enfocement mechanism on actors submitting the mandatory reports.
What is the origin of the name U2 The Edge?
The band formed atsecondary school in 1976 when the members were teenagers with limited musical proficiency, but by the mid-1980s, they had become a top international act. They were more successful as a live act than they were at selling records, until their 1987 album The Joshua Tree,[1] which, according to Rolling Stone, elevated the band's stature "from heroes to superstars".[2] In the 1990s, U2 responded to the dance and alternative rock revolutions and their own sense of musical stagnation by reinventing themselves musically and thematically, beginning with the album Achtung Baby and the accompanying Zoo TV Tour. Since 2000, U2 have pursued a more conventional rock sound that retains the influence of their previous musical explorations.
U2 have released 12 studio albums, with worldwide sales totaling more than 145 million records,[3][4] and they have won 22 Grammy Awards,[5] more than any other band.[6] In 2005, the band were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in their first year of eligibility. Rolling Stone magazine listed U2 at #22 in its list of the 100 greatest artists of all time.[7] Throughout their career, as a band and as individuals, they have campaigned for human rights and philanthropic causes, including Amnesty International, the ONE Campaign, Product Red, and Bono's DATA campaign.
