Oh, I don't like the name, U2, actually ... because the history of great rock 'n' roll bands with crap names. I mean, people forget that the Beatles is a really bad pun, you know.... The first name was the Hype, which we soon lived up to. And Feedback was another one, and then a man called Steven Averill, who designs and still designs our album covers, came up with the name U2.
