The Edge (guitar, keyboards, and vocals); Adam Clayton (bass guitar); and Larry Mullen, Jr. (drums and percussion).

The band was considered to be a rising act when Doomsday occurred in 1983. The band was in Ireland at the time, and all four members managed to survive the next several years. The group reunited in 1987 and resumed touring in 1988. U2 has explored various issues in their songs, including but not limited to their experiences in Ireland post-DD. The band has also experimented with several different musical styles, settling on a more conventional rock sound in the past decade. U2 is considered one of the biggest musical acts in the world.
