While Bono and The Edge work behind the scenes to try and prevent Spider Man from becoming the most conscious flop in Broadway history, U2 bass player Adam Clayton and drummer Larry Mullen have been at work on a much lower risk project - an album under the name Multon the pair plans to have ready for a summer release. Mullen joked that he a and Clayton keep such low profiles compared to the lead singer and guitarist in the Irish band that he would '...have to adopt about 100 Japanese orphans in order to get the media to even know that I existed.' Given the number of orphans created by the double catastrophes of the March 11 earthquake and the resulting tsunami, the quote alone is likely to get Mullen the attention from the press, just not the kind he had in mind. The Charlie Sheen like gaffe aside, it should be interesting to hear what the two come up with musically.
