Fun Facts

Smart takeaways from community play

U2 fans are walking encyclopedias when it comes to the band's people — a perfect 100% of quiz takers correctly named Larry Mullen Jr. as drummer — yet when it came to the band's founding year, 21% were off by nearly a decade, guessing 1985 instead of 1976.

Bono's real name, Paul David Hewson, is one of rock's most iconic secret identities — and 97% of U2 fans nailed it. That's a higher success rate than knowing when the band actually formed (79%), proving fans know their frontman better than their own band's history.
