U2 move about, no doubt
Adrian Young, drummer of No Doubt believes U2 picked up something from touring with them: “We pick up things from every band we see. I saw Kiss a few years ago, and you could pick up things from that. With U2, I think they picked up something from us too. Toward the end of the tour, their energy on stage was a little higher, and I think they moved around stage a little bit more than before. I think they looked at what we were doing and said, ‘Whoa! That looks like fun.’ ”
