On U2's album covers, Mullen always looked sulky and grumpy; he was always the most handsome, even though he was a short guy like Vox (who, by the way, has aged 9000 times worse—Mullen still looks good today). Even on stage, his presence was barely felt unless you counted the biker jackets or the elevated shoes. Still, he remains a great drummer despite everything. Musically speaking, he might be the backbone of the band of third-world sellouts that once went to Australia dressed as bronzed cowboys with Texas necklaces and now show up in ties.
