What were U2 doing the year you were born?

[isabelle_guns]

I got this post idea from Greg on another board and thought that I would post this here and see the responses that it generates for fun.

What were U2 doing the year you were born?

 

[indigo tree]

Well lets see, I was born on March 4, 1987, just 5 days shy of the release of the Joshua Tree ( my favorite album
). So they were rockin.'

 

[U2democrat]

I was born on Nov. 5 1986 so they probably had JT wrapped up.....correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[super fly guy]

I was born in 1982 so they were just starting to write war.

 

[radioskugga]

I was born 28th of May 1984 and by then U2 had just started the recording of UF.

 

[Reggie Thee Dog]

Bono was 5 when I was born, and Adam a day short of 6. Edge and Larry were 4, so I'm not really sure what they were doing that year. Probably getting ready for school and such.

 

[david]

I was born on July 23rd 1977, so they were just in the early stages of forming U2.

That goes for me too!

 

[Popmartijn]

In 1976, Feedback was founded.

I could say something that I find amusing here...but I won't
being of a similar age and ilk, Bono could probably guess what i was about to say

April 1961...

Bono was making his mummy's heart go by maybe starting to think about learning to walk.
Adam would have been up on his pins and really getting the hang of this walking business.
Edge would have been in utero, making his mummy smile and rub her tummy when she felt his kicks and Larry would have been doing something similar.

1961...a very fine year imho

[ZigZag]

In June of 1987, they were Joshua Tree-ing.

 

[sharky]

Same here. I'm July 10, 1977.

Go '77! me too.

 

[Salome]

they were pondering their future impact on internet forums in 1975

 

[youtwohearts]

1971 for me and they were probably dreaming of becoming fire fighters at that point. Great now I feel old.

me too. 1976 was a great year.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

nov 25 1980... they were touring behind boy in england, and would play their first american show a week and a half later in new york city.

 

[Axver]

I was born on 17 January 1987, just a couple of months before the incredibleness of JT was released.

 

[nurse chrissi]

2-26-77 - u2 were in the early stages of forming
lots of people born in 1977 here!

 

[kennerado]

Three Words: Conpiracy. Of. Hope. (either that or recording JT)

 

[innocent_eyes]

April 27 /85, probably touring the unforgetable fire, conspiracy of Hope and/or writing The Joshua Tree!

 

[martha]

I was going to say crapping their nappies, but, as usual, you've said it so much better!

 

[u2granny]

I'll just put it this way. They were still twinkles in their fathers' eyes.

 

[saltwaterkiss26]

1988, two days after the release of R&H. They were probably feeling a little bit at the time. Thinking, 'Okay, next time we do something different...'

 

[Numbology]

11/25/85

UF era

 

[U2Kitten]

December 1969, probably making Christmas decorations in elementary school!

 

[BostonAnne]

I was born during their toddler years in 1963.

(July 23, same as david. )

 

[OzAurora]

October 1977- they were probably realising that one day they were going to have a massive Australian fan and that they should start forming a band called U2 and writing some kick ass tunes


who knows what they were doing, but I like the sound of that

 

[beli]

umm, riding their bikes up and down the street, tormenting small animals, drinking way too much red cordial etc
