how did u2 managed to be as a group all these years without any breakups or problems?

Answer 1

Well, I think the fact that they've known each other since they were young teenagers helps. They've built a sort of family together and they've supported each other through many tough experiences, like Larry's mother's death, Edge's divorce from Aislinn O'Sullivan, Adam's substance abuse problems and Bono's father's death. That has to have brought them much closer.

If you have ever read "U2 at the End of the World" by Bill Flanagan (considered by many to be the U2 "bible"), you'll know that they aren't afraid to disagree with each other. The book chronicles the band working on Achtung Baby through the ZooTV and Zoo Europa tours. They were in serious conflict then about which direction they wanted to go in as a band and many harsh words were exchanged. Then they came up with the idea for "One" and it saved them, in a sense. I'm sure they have come to a great many crossroads like this throughout their career.

Another decision they made early on was to divide everything they earned up equally. They have often described U2 as a four-legged table. Each member is as important as the next and if one of them--ANY one of them--is missing it doesn't work, e.g. the table won't stand up.

So I think those factors have a lot to do with it. At the end of the day they know they're much better off together than apart.

And if you've ever seen them live, you can tell they always have a blast together!

Answer 2

Because this is a group based on God, Justice, Family, Respect, and last money. In that order. The work that they do is for the good of man. It's never been fore money. They respect one another to know when to give each other space for family, social causes, or just for a breather. They don't argue over who writes the songs---they all do it. It's a band that will be around for the next 30 years and will manage to be as good if not better than they are now!

Answer 3

U2 are so good together. they understand each other and give each other space. they are all understanding, and kind!!! The best thing about it is that they are always pointing out how hard it can be to make a band work for so long, and how its amazing they haven't split up yet. They really are amazing

Answer 4

I heard that one until now. An MRI purely shows the strategies wave interest of the strategies section it would not surely tutor how the strategies thinks or does issues. in spite of the reality that theory does come from the strategies and nueral impluses the technology of that's limited. The strategies come from the strategies and that's right, yet no person may well be conscious those strategies being created and manifested interior the strategies. An MRI won't be able to tutor that. it could oftentimes purely tutor the section energetic in a strategies whilst doing an interest or questioning approximately something. i think of the colour shows pink or Blue.

Answer 5

They are not only fine musicians they are shrewed business men,. They know a good thing when they see it.Long after the members of U2 are dead and gone, their childrens children will be reciving royalties from thier music.

Answer 6

Maybe they just realized early on that groups that break up almost never do well afterward. They probably just thought "Well, we get laid, we get paid... we got it made." Why the hell would they leave? Would you want to be the idot that left the band and had a miserable solo career while your former band members made millions?

Answer 7

because they're persistent in their work. Just like some other bands like Rollingstones, Metallica, Aerosmith, Pearl Jam...

Answer 8

They weren't competitive with each other like a lot of band members.

Answer 9

They must either like and/or respect each other, which I think is more than most bands could say.

Answer 10

cos v've mutual understanding n interest.
