U2 – The Hype
While the origin of “The Hype” isn’t known, what’s interesting is that Irish musician Steve Averill essentially renamed the group. He thought The Hype was a bad name, and gave them the name U2, because in his words:
“It’s the name of a spy plane and a submarine, and it’s got an endearing inclusivity about it.”
And they are, and always shall be The Village Idiots.
AC/DC = Anti Christ Devils Child
Have fun.
