Answer 1

U2 were first called "Feedback" when they first formed in late 1976. Their first "rehearsal" took place in Larry Mullen, Jr.'s kitchen and contained David "The Edge" Evans, Paul "Bono Vox" Hewson, Adam Clayton and Edge's brother Dick. They changed the name to "The Hype" once they first started getting gigs and, after Dick Evans left the band, the now infamous foursome bacame U2.

Answer 2

Got this from mtv.com.

With its textured guitars, U2's sound was undeniably indebted to post-punk, so it's slightly ironic that the band formed in 1976, before punk had reached their hometown of Dublin, Ireland. Larry Mullen, Jr. (born October 31, 1961; drums), posted a notice on a high-school bulletin board asking for fellow musicians to form a band. Bono (born Paul Hewson, May 10, 1960; vocals, guitar), the Edge (born David Evans, August 8, 1961; guitar, keyboards, vocals), Adam Clayton (born March 13, 1960; bass), and Dick Evans responded to the ad, and the group formed as a Beatles and Stones cover band called the Feedback, before changing their name to the Hype in 1977. Shortly afterward, Dick Evans left the band to form the Virgin Prunes. Following his departure, the group changed its name to U2.

Answer 3

First it was to be "The Larry Mullen Band," and then "The Hype."

I think.
