What of U2 produced their own album? No Eno, Lanois, Lillywhite, etc... How would it sound?
I'm not sure they would ever finish it.
If U2 produced their own album, it would essentially be Edge producing their album.

EdgI think much of the problem might stem from Bono's lack of musicality. Unlike Thom Yorke or Robert Smith who do so much, Bono is less creative, I think.

Edge did a lot of production on Zooropa, I think. I think much of the problem might stem from Bono's lack of musicality. Unlike Thom Yorke or Robert Smith who do so much, Bono is less creative, I think. Edge has to do so much already. Still, I think it's possible, but I really don't know.
what on earth are you talking about...what do you mean "Bono is less creative" ??? First of all, that has almost nothing to do with U2 producing their own album, which is the topic of the thread. And, contrary to what you think, Bono probably adds as much if not more to any given song than Edge does during the song writing process...But that's just looking at things logically...this is really only an assumption on my part as nobody outside the U2 camp knows. Seriously though, you don't know shit about "Bono's lack of musicality"...have you been in the studio with them for the past 3 years? You have absolutely no idea, sorry.
1st: there is no need to be a dick when an opposing view is presented
2nd: learn how to understand what you read. he posted "Unlike Thom Yorke or Robert Smith who do so much, Bono is less creative"
it was a comparative comment based on we do know about these 3 artists'.
I suspect it would be a disaster.
producers excel in producing.
artists excel in performing.
