But these new songs tell you to do something that has never ever been done before. U2's stage in Las Vegas. Yeah, extravagant is actually a great word. And I think that as long as it serves the songs, if the feeling of the songs come off, we've gotta set them in some kind of grand context. If we pull it off it will be very special.
Pop is an emotional record.
If the feeling of the music is swallowed up by the visual, then we've failed. But we've got a pretty extraordinary visual thing. It's very fresh. We found this thing in Hong Kong, these screens, like large jumbotrons, but they've moved the pixels like four or five inches so the picture would be pointillist, kind of like a Roy Lichtenstein. It's really hard to describe, but it's not so much about images as colors and feelings.
