Adam Clayton Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018
His work on “No Line on the Horizon” has been mentioned as his greatest bass playing. He’s worked on several solo endeavors throughout his career, including his work with fellow group member Larry Mullen Jr. on the subject of 1996’s “Mission: Impossible”. Clayton, as part of U2, has won 22 Grammy awards.
In 1981, across the time of U2’s second, spiritually charged record, October, a rift is made in the group between Clayton and McGuinness, and the three other group members. Bono, The Edge, and Mullen had joined a Christian group, and were challenging the compatibility of rock music by using their spirituality. “Life was fairly crazy. I do not actually enjoy that type of intensity, I do not enjoy that type of action, so whilst I was capable to go along with it, I was not actually in control, it’d be reasonable to say. Every night was a celebration, but I do not believe I felt much contentment or peace, that is for sure. I had be good throughout the day, I Had be ok for the gig but afterwards it was too simple to go out all night or just keep drinking in your room. I had been starting to see that every time that I drank, I could not actually be certain of the result. And it consistently made the following day worse. Therefore I made the decision to lay off and quit drinking through the last leg of the tour.” Clayton made international headlines in August 1989 when he was detained in Dublin taking a little bit of cannabis. Nevertheless, he avoided conviction by creating a sizable contribution to charity, and has afterwards been regretful, saying “It was my own mistake. And I am certain I was out of my head — emotionally apart from other things. But it’s serious as it’s prohibited.” Next event, nevertheless, he gave up booze.

| # | Quote |
|---|---|
| 1 | I don't think rock 'n roll is necessarily a young man's game. I think Neil Young is just as rock n' roll now as he was in his 20s. I'd like to think we can still be edgy and challenging. |
| 2 | I've never necessarily chosen to be a bachelor. I've had girlfriends throughout the last 20 or 30 years. It's just that there were times when I met people that fascinated me and times I didn't. |
| 3 | I was drawn to things I thought were either sexy or aggressive - or both. |
| 4 | For us there's U2 music, and then there's everything else. |
| 5 | From an early age I didn't buy into the value systems of working hard in a nine-to-five job. I thought creativity, friendship and loyalty and pushing the boundaries of what was acceptable was much more interesting. |
| 6 | Unless man is committed to the belief that all mankind are his brothers, then he labors in vain and hypocritically in the vineyards of equality. |
| 7 | There are two types of collector, I think. There are those who are quite academic, and get into the archaeology of finding the earliest example of a particular idea. Then there are those interested in what's new. |
| 8 | Fame is like the dessert that comes with your achievements - it's not an achievement in itself, but sometimes it can overpower the work. |
| 9 | It's very confusing when fame comes early on in your career. You get a little bit bent out of shape in terms of what's important. Fame is like the dessert that comes with your achievements - it's not an achievement in itself, but sometimes it can overpower the work. |
| 10 | The drums tell me everything. Everything else registers a millisecond later. |
| 11 | The art market was very different before the mid-1980s: then, art was all about passion, whereas now it's become a commodity. |
| 12 | If you believe in a cause, you must be willing to put yourself on the line for that cause. |
| 13 | I don't think rock 'n' roll is necessarily a young man's game. |
| 14 | I definitely got to a point where I realize how unusual it is to be able to play large, sold-out shows 30 years into a rock and roll career. I don't take it for granted. |
| 15 | I was actually pretty shy in school. My defense mechanism was to be the class clown. I remember getting into a lot of trouble for being disruptive, and I was brought in front of the headteacher, who said: 'What's going to happen to you; what are you going to do when you grow up?' and I said: 'Well, I'm obviously going to be a comedian.' |
| 16 | A man's respect for law and order exists in precise relationship to the size of his paycheck. |
| 17 | I think rock 'n' roll would become exponentially, considerably more difficult to perform past about 65. |
| 18 | Men should not be forced to wear pants when it's not cold. |
| 19 | You can't make assumptions when you're dealing with health issues. |
| 20 | On A-Ha: A very creative band. |
| 21 | Men should not be forced to wear pants when it's not cold. [After posing nude for an Achtung Baby photograph] |
