"I always thought the job was to be as great as you could be." -- Bono This is the story of U2, in their own words and pictures. It is the only authorised, fully comprehensive guide to the biggest band in the world. "We are trying to pin down something elusive, something that represents where we are, emotionally, physically, spiritually, but is also fresh and exciting. If it is not absolutely the best it can be, then why bother?" -- Adam Clayton. In 1975, four teenagers from Mount Temple School in Dublin gathered in a crowded kitchen to discuss forming a band. The drum kit just about fit into the room, the lead guitarist was playing a homemade guitar, the bassist could barely play at all and nobody wanted to be the singer. Over thirty years later, Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jnr are still together, bound by intense loyalty, passionate idealism and a relentless belief in the power of rock and roll to change the world. "We wore it as a stubborn badge of pride that we weren''t prepared to fall into line with every other group and take the fashionable stance of the day. We were uncool because we were hot, we just erupted as a live band." -- The Edge.Told with wit, insight and astonishing candour by the band themselves and manager Paul McGuinness, with pictures from their own archives, ''U2 By U2'' allows unprecedented access into the inner life of the greatest rock band of our times. Bad haircuts, worse hangovers, prayer meetings and wild parties, encounters with presidents and popes, intimate accounts of the creation of all their classic songs, it is all here in a beautifully-presented book overseen by the band with the same passion for substance, style and immaculate attention to detail familiar from their musical career. "I have read a lot of rubbish about U2. Whenever I see us described in some mythic sense as masters of our own destiny, it makes me laugh. Being in U2 is more like riding a runaway train. We are just ordinary guys, hanging on to this thing for our lives." -- Larry Mullen Jnr.

El afán de descifrar el mundo ya movía a los primeros contadores de historias. Y sin embargo, los cuentos que más nos gustaron fueron, a menudo, aquéllos que nos lo devolvían todavía más tupido, más cifrado y temible. En este sentido, la invitacion que contiene el titulo de este libro puede ser entendida tambien como una advertencia, la de esos peligros que nunca han dejado de atraernos, acaso porque tras ellos se ocultan las verdaderas claves del saber. No sera dificil encontrar, en estas paginas, vinculos con viejos y queridos maestros (Poe, Melville), ni personales aprendizajes de la renovacion debida a otros mas proximos (Cortazar, Monterroso). A esa reconocida herencia, suma Miguel Paz la personalidad de su voz literaria, una prosa sucinta y sensual, y unas querencias que se reparten entre lo tierno, lo ludico y lo macabro; ademas de la paciencia y el rigor con que siempre se han escrito los mejores cuentos.

This title presents Strummer, Jones, Simonon & Headon, in their own words for the first time. It is the music book of 2008.From "White Riot" to "Rock The Casbah", The Clash were a band like no other. Part of the original wave of British punk bands to emerge in the 1970s, their skilled musicianship, intelligent songwriting, boundless energy, definitive style and passionate idealism caught the spirit of the times and made them a worldwide phenomenon. "Rolling Stone" magazine declared "London Calling" one of the greatest albums of all time, and their music has only become more resonant over the past thirty years. Their story is steeped in mythology. Many people have their own opinions about what made them tick - but now readers can hear the full story from the band themselves.

Recopilación de letras que viene a reafirmar que la copla flamenca puede ser una forma más de expresión poética, no sólo el soporte literario de los distintos cantes.

La biografía de Ron Wood, un Rolling Stone, por Ron Wood. El guitarrista Ronald David Wood nos cuenta sus peripecias musicales y extramusicales.
