"I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" is a song by Irish #rock band #U2. It is the second track from their 1987 album #TheJoshuaTree and was released as the album's second single in May 1987. The song was a hit, becoming the band's second consecutive number-one single on the US Billboard Hot 100 while peaking at number six on the #UKSinglesChart. The song originated from a #demo the band recorded on which drummer #LarryMullenJr played a unique rhythm pattern.

Ierse drummer van één van de grootste rockbands ooit, #U2.
Hij is één van de mede-oprichters van deze band, nadat hij in 1976 een briefje ophing dat hij op zoek was naar muzikanten om een bandje op te richten. Deze band zou uitgroeien tot één van de bands die toonaangevend is in de jaren 80 en 90.
Zijn militaire stijl van drummen heeft hij ontwikkeld door als kind al deel uit te maken van vele marching bands, wat oa te horen is op

Watching U2 vids as is required by the Constitution… the production on Achtung Baby is still headwreckingly good but I get an enormous kick out of watching Larry Mullen refusing to participate in whatever bullshit Bono has come up with. In particular, the 360 camera shots in Even Better Than The Real Thing where he’s looking murderously at the camera… “if ye don’t get that feckin’ thing away from me I’m gonna shove it up yer hole” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTxrgXWToZA #U2 #MusicVideos #LarryMullenJr

An enjoyable trip to Ireland for me, maybe not so much for my friend who spent the weekend in hospital.
Anyway, how was your Irish music knowledge? @millerrobertson8 with the hat trick of answers in the comments.

Hot take: #U2 in #LasVegas without #LarryMullenJr is a mistake.

“The interview [#LarryMullenJr] gave for this story was, he said, his first in seven years. He’s blunt — he says if [#U2] plays live in 2023 it will probably be without him, as he needs surgery to continue playing — and admits the dynamics in the band are not the same as they were decades ago.” #WashingtonPost: https://www.washingtonpost.com/arts-entertainment/2022/11/28/u2-kennedy-center-honors/ #Bono #TheEdge #AdamClayton #music
