U2 came together thanks to a message board.
U2 was formed in Dublin, Ireland, in 1976, after Larry Mullen, Jr. posted a note to the Mount Temple Comprehensive School message board inquiring about starting a band.
They were first known as Feedback, then The Hype, and finally, with the departure of older member Dik Evans, U2.
Radiohead rehearsed on school breaks.
On a Friday, the band that would eventually become Radiohead, formed in 1985 after meeting at Abingdon School in Oxfordshire, England.
Though the band members went to different universities, they continued to rehearse on weekends and holidays, and post-graduation signed a six-album deal with EMI in 1991.
Live formed for a talent show.
The members of Live, best known for their 1995 alternative rock hit "Lightning Crashes," first came together for a middle school talent show in York, Pennsylvania.
They tried out the band names First Aid, Club Fungus, Paisley Blues, Action Front, Body Odor Front, and Public Affection before finally recording their 1991 EP Four Songs under the name Live.
Lead singer Ed Kowalczyk left the band in 2009.
