Larry Mullen's Band?

The group U2 has its history like any band. From meager beginnings in Dublin, Ireland, to worldwide fame and stardom. If you know anything about U2, you know that charismatic lead singer, Bono, has been the focal point of the group. With his energetic and stirring live performances to his many charitable causes, when you hear U2, you probably think of him first off. Guitarist, the Edge, with his inexplicable sound and style has also been a focal point in the band. But, has it ever occurred to you, that if not for drummer Larry Mullen's desire to begin a band, U2 might have never formed.
Larry Mullen Jr. was born on Halloween in 1961 in Artane, on the north-side of Dublin. Born with the original name, Larry Mullen, he added the Jr. later to distinguish himself from his father, Larry Mullen Sr. Larry Jr.'s musical career began when he was 8 yrs-old with piano lessons. Soon, however, the lad got bored with studying piano scales and music theory, so in 1971, he took up drumming instead. Larry was able to take classes under the tutelage of Joe Bonnie, Ireland's best known drummer. Just a year later, though, Bonnie passed away and his daughter, Monica took over the lessons. Larry has always felt that his style was 'unteachable'. He would rather play by instinct and spirit, saying that 'sometimes he just wanted to hit it'. In '73, sister, Cecelia, bought Larry his first drum kit. All this led to the day on September 25, 1976 he would post the note on Mt. Temple's bulletin board, calling for fellow musicians to come to his home to audition for a band. The auditions took place in Larry's kitchen. The original lineup for the group was as follows, Bono-Vox on vocals, David Evans, (the Edge), and his brother Dick on guitar, Adam Clayton on bass, and, of course, Larry Mullen Jr. on drums. Larry claims that the bands' real name is actually, 'The Larry Mullen Band'.
But dark clouds loomed on the horizon. Mother, Maureen Mullen, died tragically in a road-traffic accident in 1978. Her death affected Larry a great deal. But it was also a driving force in his growing committment to U2, which was in question by his bandmates, because of his absentee's at gigs and photo-shoots. Often, forcing the other band members to get a stand-in look-alike for the drummer. Larry had quit school and was working while U2 was trying to score a record deal. This was why there was trouble with his and the groups schedules. But the loss of his mother would catapult him towards the band.
He has been with his partner, Ann Acheson for almost 30 years. The two met at Mount Temple, Larry's first year there. Together, they have two sons and a daughter. He is also an avid dog lover. The family has two labradors. He is very protective of his family when it comes to being in the limelite, and had done a successful job keeping his private life, just that. One strange thing though. Larry, has had tendonitus and back pain for years. He has seen many doctors for these problems, but none had the answer for the pain. Then, he saw a doctor in Germany, who practiced holistic medicine. This doctor began giving him injections of bull's blood... and it works, he says!
Larry has worked on many side projects with artist like, B.B. King, Robbie Robertson, and Emmylou Harris. He has won 22 Grammy awards and a Golden Globe. He also worked on one of the Mission Impossible soundtracks.

The Finest ELO Songs On Out Of The Blue

A series of bands following The Beatles who decided to occupy the similar environs of melodic pop have largely been disregarded by many inhabitants of the mainstream music press. Groups such as Pilot, 10cc and Squeeze whilst achieving a commendable level of commercial success, would never be likely to appear in the average rock journalist's all time, top ten list of great bands. Another melodic pop collective who I believe have been unfairly overlooked in a similar way is ELO, the band taken to prominence in the 70s and early 80s by Birmingham songwriter and performer Jeff Lynne, later to become an honorary Travelling Wilbury alongside George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison and drummer Jim Keltner.
Back to ELO days, and it's the 1978 album, Out Of The Blue, that I would consider their best work; a double gatefold of some musical breadth, although found a little wanting in terms of meaningful lyrics. It spanned four sides (in the days of vinyl albums) and a prog-rock style graphic design, which probably served to give the album a falsely, portentous allure. In truth, it's a beautifully produced collection of pop singles, with a few, faux symphonic movements included such as side three's 'Concerto For A Rainy Day' - Louis Clark's classically romantic string arrangements underpinning this and all the other, ear-friendly pop hooks.
It has taken some serious deliberation for me to arrive at my list of finest ELO songs on the Out Of The Blue album, but I've finally managed it:
*Night In The City - some guitar similarities in part to the Boston hit 'More Than A Feeling', a grandstanding amalgam of pop, rock and strident orchestral strings. Bassist Kelly Groucutt rubber-stamped his mark on ELO history with his inimitable backing vocals on this track and the rest of the album.
*Steppin' Out - another Beatles-flavoured, mid-tempo anthem, with a little extra lyrical depth than most of the other cuts, managing to portray a combination of world-weariness and hope.
*Mr Blue Sky - a glorious, Beach Boys/McCartney pastiche with echoes of Penny Lane, made further distinctive by its grandiose coda of massed choirs and violins. Lynne showed his guitar proficiency with a sweetly executed solo and stretched his vocals in the middle eights with some impressive falsetto.
*Sweet Is The Night - a great chorus and deftly arranged verses punctuated by trademark ELO backing vocals. Kelly Groucutt was even given some lead vocal lines of his own! The whole was pounded out by Bev Bevan on his Slingerland drum kit and finished expertly by another, florid guitar jangle from Lynne.

There's a new, UK artist I've discovered called James Henry, whose style is reminiscent in some ways to that found in many ELO songs. Checkout a song of his, "Saturday Morning", which you can download below for free. The guy has serious potential...
