Guitar Album Reviews – U2 – Rattle and Hum
Albums that got me into playing guitar
Way back in 1989 I was a 13 and after years of piano lessons I decided to
teach myself guitar. After all the guitar is a much cooler instrument and more
portable than a piano.That same year U2 were a superstar band releasing Rattle and Hum, a double album with a mix of studio and live tracks.
Containing the hit tunes Desire, All I Want Is You, Angel of Harlem and
Love Comes to Town the album was everywhere on the radio, TV and the film
