love the hair! ya ur first serious guitar is the best! even if its 5 poundage.

Hi Adam, I'm Heidi and I have been a fan forever it seems. I have never been able to find out when your birthday was and I felt bad about that because I was able to wish Bono and Larry one but not you and the Edge. So Happy Late Birthdays for all the ones I missed. I also wanted to tell you that I pray for all of you when you tour and for your families when you are away. When I was younger, I had a knee surgery, I came home from the hospital a few days later and my roommate had gotten me a U2 poster and she REALLY was NOT a fan. But I started crying because it meant alot. Later on, she became a fan and saw you in concert. I just wanted to also let you know that I have been praying for the entire band with Bono's injury because I know how hard it is to watch someone go through something and the illness or injury has effects that send ripples out to others. I have epilepsy and it affects my family too. It's hard on them. I hope you are well and I wanted to tell you that I pray for all of you. Heidi A. Dietrich Everett, Ma

Music defines my life and your amazing music only makes me appreciate the songs that U2 have created through out the years. Much love and sucess in your future, sms

I'm 1 day late, but happy 50th birthday Adam and all the best!

Happy birthday adam!! 50 years and you're never looked younger :)

thanks for so many joyous moments,i hope you have a few yourself today.

.. its was cool and ya got to meet girls....the two best reason any boy wants to be in a rock band.!

Loved this book!!! You graciously left your signature on my book last March in NYC after the Letterman Show...thank you thank you for buying that guitar!!!

U2, Please don´t leave alone to Chili!!! We need your help! a big Chilean Fans

Adam is the balance of the band - the controller who really decides when its time to crank it up. A master of his art!!

...finding that guitar just sort of helped things along.

Bass is a rare sound felt physically

What a metamorphosis Adam has gone through over the years, it has been enjoyable to see & Adam’s personal style is one for the books. His elegance on stage wielding his bass guitar must be fully witnessed in person, and yes, thank God for that junk shop !!! J & M & L (Adam's girls)

We should all be so lucky to find what we are meant for!

Thanks for being the steady beat behind U2, Adam. If it weren't for your commitment that "this was what [you] wanted to do", we would have all missed out on the greatest band of all time!! Rock on, U2!! - Sue

This is just one of the many interesting bits from the book. It's my favorite U2 book. Also, it's now available in paperback form.

Thank God it happened! The world wasn't the same without U2 :)

Oh thank god he found that junk shop

So glad it happened. I spend my time at U2 shows watching the zen master bass player Adam. The most perfect blend of warm and rich sounding bass guitar I've ever heard. Every time I hear U2, I hear Adam and it's all good !

i have the same problems with my band, and all of that we were done in one of the our university's room!
