Titolo: La chat con Edge

Ecco una parte delle domande e risposte di Edge nella chat che si svolge
adesso:
Q: do you bring tour family on the road?
A: It's no lifestyle
for anyone who doesn't have something to do, so the answer is no. But
there are occasionaly visits which make it bearable.
Q: Why only one big
concert in Italie?
A: I've been asking the same question it's down to
plain old logistics, just scheduling.
We only had a limited amount of time
to play Europe. Personnaly I 'd love to play more
Italian shows , I know
we have a lot of fan in Italy and Italy could do with more shows.
It's
though one.
Q/ What's the deal with the Midget plot in AIWIY video?
A/ It's the classic midget meets girl, girl meets midget, they fall in love
but the girl
really love other guy, scenario. That old plot. It's based on
a movie but I can't remember
the name of it.
Q/ What would you do if
you fell out the stage?
A/ I don't know, probably climb back out and
carry on. I did have a slight shock when Bono
fell on stage on the opening
night but he didn't fall very far fortunately. I have fallen
of stage a
couple of occasion. The first thing is to protect the guitar, because you
can
fix an ankle, you can fix a bruise, but when you break a guitar that's
the end of it.
Q/ As a fellow Irishman, are you looking forward Slane
this year?
A/ it's one of the final show on the european tour, it's
going to be one hell of party and
we're looking forward to it.
Q/ What
do you think about other band covering U2 songs?
A/ There seem to be a
few at the moment. I think there's been a steady stream of bands
covering
U2 songs down this years, but I don't think any of the cover versions have
been
as succesfull as the originals. I don't know what that says. I'm not
complaining. I like
new years dub a lot. We always encourage people
interested in covering our songs as long
as they're not completely crap!
Q: do you use the web much?
A: I occasionaly go for a quick surf. I
wouldn't say right now I have much time to go on
the web. What I do is not
so much the message boards. I go looking for things. There's a
lot of
great informations out there which is what i'm after.
Q: Do you think
with elevation the rock is now putting pop back in it's place?
A: I'm
waiting for the next generation of RnR bands who are going to write some
amazing
tunes and blow everyone away. I know they are out there, but I
havent come across them as
yet.
Q/ What 3 people would you like to
invite to dinner?
A/ Jesus, JFK, and Sir Isaac Newton.
Q/ Does touring
improve your creativity?
A/ I don't think it does, but it gives you a lot
of ideas for songs and lyrics. In that
sense it's good experience that you
can put into songs later. I find it really hard to
write on the road.
Sometimes guitar riffs and chords patterns, but really until we're all
into rehearsal together, that's when everything's going off, that's when
the best U21
songs come together.
Q/ Are you writing new songs now?
A/
Well there's a lot of beginnig. We are constantly coming up with openning
but until we
get into a full few months of writing, I don't think we're
going to come up with anything
finished.
Q/ What other bands are you
listening to?
A/ I listen a lot of electric stuff. I love the REM record,
the Depech Mode record is
good, Stereo MC's, Air, Bob Dylan and radiohead,
I love the new Radiohead album.
