| ACTHUNG BABY ERA QUOTES: -We've got to the point where we may well be the greatest group in the world. Now what do you do with it? JOSHUA TREE ERA QUOTES: -I think a certain amount of the naivety that was present in our earlier work is more in perspective. I think its still there I think its essentially U2, but I think the maturing process is taking place. But at the same time that maturity has given us a self confidence in what we are, which is a noisy rock & roll band, and there's no way that's going to change. -The desert was immensely inspirational to us as a mental image for this record. Most people would take the desert on face value and think its some kind of barren place, but I think in the right frame of mind its also a very positive image, because you can actually do something with a blank canvas, which is effectively what the desert is. -I hope we learn a lot on this tour. I hope we learn the weaknesses and the strenghts of what we've done, to enable us to stretch ourselves even more the next time round. -Having gone through the other albums in our formative years, in a sense now I think we've got a very good grasp of the power and potential of music and where we can take it. |
