Rattle and Hum (Part 1)

In the first of our two parts on the Rattle and Hum album and the film, we dive into why this period is so poorly remembered. We question what the hell the band was thinking but, more importantly, where was Paul McGuinness when a little leadership was desperately needed when it was obvious his clients were getting over its skis? We also take a look at what's become the prevailing narrative: that is, without the failure of Rattle and Hum, there's no reinvention that spawned, arguably, the band's creative peak in Achtung Baby and the Zoo TV Tour. Give a listen, we pull no punches.
