"U2 by U2" Book Launch

Many thanks to the regular Rockbeatstone reader who has sent us some photos from the secret worlwide launch of U2's new book, U2 by U2. Despite the event being kept a secret affair, hundreds of hard-core fans queued the night before for a chance to get a signed copy of this new book. Taking place at Waterstones on Picadilly, London, the entire shop was closed for the morning for the arrival of the world's second biggest (after the Stones, of course) rock and roll band.

Check out the full report and get pictures here.

Ouch. Only the 2nd biggest?

no offense to mick and the boys...but not a chance...

as long as the rolling stones are together, u2 will always be the second biggest, as much as u2 fans don't want to admit it.

(waits for "stats" to prove me otherwise)

perhaps biggest and biggest relevance are two separate categories.
stones have done nothing new that is relevant in decades. as far as longevity with relevance U2 is BY FAR the greatest!
