In a candid revelation, Bono, the iconic frontman of U2, recently spoke to MOJO magazine about the initial sound struggles the band faced during their residency at the state-of-the-art MSG Sphere at the Venetian in Las Vegas. The immersive venue, boasting a multi-billion-dollar design, aims to envelop concertgoers in a “360-degree sonic spectrum,” ensuring an unparalleled audio experience from every vantage point.
Bono admitted that the band encountered unexpected challenges, questioning whether the innovative building would live up to their sonic expectations. The Irish rockers found themselves compelled to push the limits to achieve the signature distortion that defines their rock ‘n’ roll sound.
“We didn’t know if the building was going to work. There were engineers and builders and plasterers and people wiring stuff up right up to the very last minute,” Bono revealed in the interview.
He discovered the gem when he was 12 years old and still has it now, claiming it to be why he fell in love with music. He likes to play disc golf when he's not writing about music. He is a one-of-a-kind individual who is always the first to bust out his air guitar on the dance-floor.
