Who originally wrote Sunday Bloody Sunday?
It was written by David Howell Evans, a member of U2 and known as "The Edge".
Yes, he has four children. Two boys and two girls, all with his wife of many years. Nice, isn't it? : ) I could look up their names and ages, but I think I would just feel too creepy...
Is Bishop David G Evans married?
None of your business. Get your life right with God and concentrate on your own life and marriage if you have one. If you don't have one "Wonder why?"
What are the names of the band u2?
Rather unusually given the long period of time U2 has been active, U2 has always has the same line-up. Bono, Edge, Larry and Adam are the original members and remain the only members of U2. Initally, for the first month or so there were other members (Edge's older brother being one of them) however, the band (which wasnt called U2 at the time) was nothing more than a group of kids in a garage at that point and they were long gone by the time U2 launched any material.
How high can the u-2 spy plane fly?
No it is, Thirteen miles up, 70,000 feet or about twice as high as commercial planes. The pilots wear spacesuits and have to breathe pure oxygen for an hour before take off to reduce the chances of the "bends."

the band's big break came at a talent show in Limerick, Ireland, in March, 1978. With CBS Records' Jackie Hayden judging, U2 (they had just changed their name again) won the contest, earning a £500 prize and studio time to record their first demo. Shortly after the talent show contest, the band convinced a Dublin businessman named Paul McGuinness to manage them. Now out of school, the band played as many shows as possible in and around Dublin, trying to build up a local fan base. In September, 1979, U2 released its first single, an Irish-only release called "U2:3" which topped the national charts. In December of that year, U2 traveled to London for its first shows outside Ireland, but struggled to get attention from music fans and critics. After continuing to build a large following inside Ireland, and after the success of a second Irish-only single, Island Records signed U2 to its first international contract in March, 1980. The first album to come from that agreement was Boy, released in October of that year. The album offered a fresh, new sound that earned rave reviews in both the Irish and UK press. Bono's lyrics tackled subjects like faith, spirituality, and death -- subjects generally avoided by even the most seasoned rock acts. U2's first tour outside the UK helped develop new fan bases in other parts of Europe and in the United States, where strong club shows helped propel Boy briefly onto the U.S. album charts.

Whose real name is paul hewson?
Bono, lead singer and brilliant songwriter with the four piece Irish band U2.
What is the meaning of U2's song 'pride in the name of love'?
I believe this song is about Martin Luther King Jr. It mentions April 4th, the day that King was assassinated. It also mentions Memphis. King was assassinated on the balcony of his room in the Lorraine Motel at 6:01 on April 4, 1968 in Memphis, Tn.
I agree that the verse "Early mornin' April 4th, a shot rings out in the Memphis sky. Free at last. They took your life but they could not take your pride." IS without a doubt referring to Martin Luther King Jr. But there are others as well that are mentioned.
"One man caught on a barbed wire fence" Could be referring to the Great Escape from the Stalag Luft III concentration camp during WWII. Of the 76 who escaped, only three - two Norwegians and a Dutchman - made it back to Britain, and most were not at liberty for long before being recaptured. 50 were shot by the Gestapo and four of the surviving most determined escapers were sent to Sachsenhausen concentration camp - apparently to die. Instead they all escaped again!
"One man he resist" could be anyone who stood up for a cause but the most likely is Ghandi for his peaceful disobedience in India. He was later assassinated for his beliefs.
"One man washed on an empty beach" is John F. Kennedy. He and 11 of his ship mates wound up marroned on a very sparsely populated island when the boat they were on was destroyed by a Japanese destroyer during WWII. Of course we all know Kennedy was later assassinated.
"One man betrayed with a kiss." That's a referrence to Jesus Christ. The gospels all describe his betrayal the same way: Judas Iscariot went to the Romans and was paid 30 pieces of silver for leading them to Jesus. He told them the man he kissed on the cheek was the one they wanted. Then he went to Jesus and said "teacher" then kissed him on the cheek. We all know what followed.
Obviously anything I've suggested is open to interpretation but I believe that this is the most likely interpretation. It's basically laying out a number of historical people that were willing to lay down their lives in order to make a stand and in doing so, did effect a real change in the world. Therefore: They can take your life, but they can never take your pride.
Who sold more albums Pink Floyd or u2?
The Rolling Stones. They've been around at least 15 years longer than U2, and still are the world's all-time most successful rock band!
This is unknown, although many celebrities like Bono certainly do show bipolar symptoms upon occasion. It takes a certain manic energy to be a successful performer, but that does not mean that the performer is manic-depressive.
When is U2 going on tour again?
