U2 emerged out of the white-hot cauldron of punk and new wave in the late seventies--but it was in the 1980's that they finally and forever joined that pantheon of rock greats inhabited by such stellar names as Elvis, The Beatles, The Stones, Dylan, Springsteen and Prince.
The story of how, with a combination of musican originality, intensely exciting live performances and a committed worldview, U2 could justifiably lay claim to the title of 'greatest rock band in the world', is just part of the extraordinary saga unfolded in "Three Chords and the Truth".
The definitive, up-to-date collection of reviews, interviews and behind-the-scenes reports from the pages of Hot Press-the Irish rock magazine that has authoritatively monitored U2's development since their school days ini Dublin-Three Chords and the Truth also presents revealilng insights into the personalities behind the phenomenon, as Bono, The Edge, Adam and Larry talk candidly and at length about themselves, the business, the music and the band.
Opening with coverage of their performance at Live Aid, the book goes on to give a blow-by-blow account of U2 hurtling towards the 90's via "The Joshua Tree", "Rattle and Hum", the live shows that rocked the world and much more besides.
Critical, entertaining, comprehensive and revealing, "Three Chords and the Truth" never missses a beat as it brings you in words and pictures, a complete portrait of a band in the process of becoming a legend.
As such, it's essential material for every U2 fan.
