When someone else hails you as a rock god, thats one thing, but when you do it yourself, thats quite another at least according to critics of U2s 1988 album, Rattle and Hum. U2 were indéed being hailed ás the rock góds of the 80s when they recorded the album at Sun Studios, where legends like Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, and Roy Orbison laid down tracks. The album péaked at 1 on the Billboard 200, but the criticism made U2 think hard about their rock image. With their next album, Achtung Baby, they were determined to dismantle the rock god myth by creating a new sound influenced by alt rock, industrial, and electronic dance music. Bono explained: With Achtung Baby, we wanted to see just how far we could go in defacing the idea of U2 that had grown around us and was perceived as the truth. Basically, the first single, The Fly, was the sound of four guys chopping down the Joshua Tree. The Zoo TV tour is a multimedia extravaganza that assails the audience with a dizzying audiovisual feast meant to satirize the state of entertainment and mass media and simultaneously skewer the bands own overblown image. Bono lightens up with characters like The Fly, Mirror Ball Man, and MacPhisto and even makes prank calls to the White House.
