If you fancy yourself a musician of any sort, you likely looked to one of your good friends in high school and said, \u201cLet\u2019s start a band!\u201d If the thought materialized, and you played together, then you or they likely asked the following question: \u201cWhat if we try to do this for a living?\u201d It is an inevitable series of statements and questions for friends who are musicians. <\/p>\n
Unfortunately, most of the time, those joyful and naive thoughts never come to fruition in the way your 16-year-old self might have thought they would. Well, as horrible as that is, broken dreams and such, here are three iconic bands whose high school dreams did come true, as their bands formed from their high school friendship. (No, we are not including The Beatles on this list.)<\/p>\n
U2<\/p>\n
Other than their music, one of the most impressive facts about U2<\/a> is that all of the founding members are still in the band. As you very well know, that is a rarity in show business. Regardless, U2\u2019s formation in Dublin, Ireland, is a result of the high school friendship between Bono\u00a0(Paul Hewson),\u00a0The Edge\u00a0(David Evans),\u00a0Adam Clayton, and\u00a0Larry Mullen Jr. <\/p>\n As the story goes, Mullen posted a note in his high school seeking out some other folks to play music with him. The other three followed up on that note, and subsequently, they held their first practice in Mullen\u2019s kitchen. After that, well, you know what happened after that.<\/p>\n Radiohead<\/p>\n
