The U2 Podcast

The Back To The Beginning anniversary series continues as Jonny and Tyler turn their attention to The Unforgettable Fire, U2's atmospheric and ambitious fourth studio album. Released in 1984, The Unforgettable Fire marked a bold creative leap for the band, as they moved beyond the raw urgency of War and embraced a more expansive, experimental sound under the guidance of producers Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois. From iconic tracks such as Pride (In The Name Of Love) and Bad to the album's more understated and evocative moments, RevU2 take an in-depth track-by-track journey through a record that redefined what U2 could be and laid the foundations for their future success. As part of RevU2's 10th Anniversary celebrations, Jonny and Tyler revisit The Unforgettable Fire for the first time in a decade, reflecting on how their views of the album have evolved, discussing its place within the band's catalogue, and exploring whether its unique blend of emotion, atmosphere, and artistic ambition remains as powerful today as it was over forty years ago. Join us as we go Back To The Beginning and rediscover the album that bridged the gap between U2's early years and the global phenomenon they were destined to become.

RevU2 share their initial thoughts on U2's cover of The Pogues' raucous song 'Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah' and discuss production, U2's newfound freshness and a potentially divisive xylophone.

The Back To The Beginning anniversary series continues as Jonny and Tyler turn their attention to War, U2's landmark third studio album. Released in 1983, War marked a major turning point for the band, capturing the raw energy, political urgency, and youthful passion that would propel U2 onto the world stage. From anthems such as Sunday Bloody Sunday and New Year's Day to deeper cuts that helped define the band's early identity, RevU2 take an in-depth track-by-track look at an album that remains one of the most important releases in U2's catalogue. As part of RevU2's 10th Anniversary celebrations, Jonny and Tyler revisit War for the first time in a decade, exploring how their perspectives on the album have changed, discussing its legacy, and asking whether it still packs the same punch over forty years after its release. Join us as we go Back To The Beginning and rediscover the album that turned four young musicians from Dublin into one of the biggest bands in the world.
