What does Larry hear in his headphones to keep tempo with the sequencers during a live performance? Is he hearing a maracas-type shaker sound or a full drum part? And I already know that he's NOT listening to "sweet nothings" whispered into his ear that were prerecorded by his lover in the band, Bono, so don't try to pass off that answer!
Dear Chuck:
Joe once let me listen to Larry's earfeed and I was surprised at what I heard. I expected the click track that most drummers use to keep tempo with the screen display and lighting cues. But what I heard was a self-help tape that Larry had recorded himself. He says it makes him play better.
Portions of the one I heard said:
"You are getting 20% of the money, would it kill you to smile once in a while?"
"You are handsome, you are handsome, you are handsome..."
"Make Ann an honest woman, make Ann an honest woman..."
"Those pants do not make you look fat."
"I wonder if that girl, right there, would sleep with you."
"You don't look a day over 19, you don't look a day over 19..."
"Why did I agree to hire Bono as the singer? I haven't gotten a word in edgewise since."
So you see, he really is an accomplished percussionist. He is making himself a better person, and remembering the snare line to "Sunday Bloody Sunday."
P.S. Bono and Larry broke up in 1983
