Rock n' Roll Doggie
21. Larry Mullen, Jr.
From the militaristic drums of War, to the bombastic stadium bluster of Joshua Tree, to the electronic experiments found on later albums, Larry Mullen’s rhythmic style has always been integral to U2’s chameleonic career. A competent and complementary drummer, Mullen’s style is subtle; a balanced backdrop to Bono’s broad histrionics. As textural as he is tectonic, Mullen’s mixed background (marching bands and jazz) melded to provide U2 a vast percussive range. It’s a basis upon which they’ve built their varied career, his style segueing seamlessly from post-punk to stadium rock to ambient soundscapes with ease. And while he may not be the most technically proficient drummer, he’s proven, over the past 30 years, to be one of the most pertinent.
The Best Of…
“Sunday Bloody Sunday”
“Gloria”
“Bad”
