U2 bono vox biography

He joined a group of kids who called themselves Lypton Village, and it was there that he acquired the name Bono Vox. The members of the group would give each other names that they felt reflected who they were better than their given names. The origin of Bono’s name has been variously attributed to a dog food, a brand of hearing aid, and the Latin phrase for ‘good voice’. The hearing-aid explanation seems to be the most widely accepted. There was a shop in the O’Connell Street area of “Dublin” which sold ‘Bonavox’ hearing aids, and this seems to have been adapted to Bono Vox.

In the early days of the band, Bono was the dominant force, playing guitar, singing, and writing the songs. As Edge became a better guitarist however, Bono was restricted to vocals only. Even then, there was a time when the others considered removing him from the band altogether, as it was felt that his voice wasn’t up to scratch. Fortunately for all concerned, he remained.
