There is an article entitled "12 Reasons to love Larry Mullen Jr" in Modern Drummer magazine.
It is a mere two pages. There is no interview. But it does point out certain elements of Larry's playing thoughout the years that are noteworthy.
I wish they'd do a full feature, like the last one that MD did in 1985. But I also know that it isn't for a lack of trying. Seems Larry isn't so interested in sitting down with Modern Drummer for an interview.
I wrote the MD Editor in 2003. He responded. He agreed that since 'The Unforgettable Fire', Larry and U2 have made a number of great records. He also said that they'd been trying to get another feature for years. I was told that they'd finally thought that they's get that in 2001. They'd scheduled to meet up with Larry in San Diego and conduct the interview and photo session. They were contacted and told that Larry was 'under the weather' and couldn't do the interview. It was never rescheduled, per MD and not do to the lack of trying - was what I was told by Modern Drummer.
Anywho... I will scan the new 2 page article when I get home.
