'How to Take Out U2'
The answer, for young bands today is simple, says Edge, in the second part of the NME interview.
"I'm sure there are a lot of young bands that are just not into us because we're successful and because we've been around for a long time." explains Edge. "I would just say turn that into a positive energy and try and write some great songs. That's the way if you want to take U2 out, the only way you're gonna do it is by writing better songs that us!"
Also in the new edition of the UK's music weekly, the band talk about selling out, about being the most independent rock group in the history of pop music and about why they haven't embarked on solo projects.
"If being in U2 was creatively frustrating", says Adam. "Then maybe people would go off and do other things, but it's fulfilling enough that you don't need to go and have a reggae band for the weekend."
And Bono reveals that going into the making of the new album he went back and listened to the music that made him want to be in a band in the first place."...the Buzzcocks, Siouxsie & The Banshees, Echo and the Bunnymen, all that stuff. And what was interesting is, that was what a lot of people in bands now are listening to anyway...."
The new edition of NME is on the streets now and don't forget that you can still vote for U2 in the annual 'Shockwaves NME Awards'.
Next month the great and the good of the rock world will 'descend on a central London location for the ultimate rock'n'roll party of the year.' (It says here.)
The 'ShockWaves NME Awards' is the only gong-giving ceremony in which the winners and losers are chosen not by some 'industry' panel but by ordinarymusic fans. (It continues to say here)
And there's a barrow-load of brilliant new bands up for your vote including Franz Ferdinand, Razorlight, Scissor Sisters, The Killers and The Bravery.
And of course, there's our very own U2 who qualify in categories like 'Best International Band', 'Best Album', 'Best Single' and a whole bunch of others.
So if you've got a second, you can cast your vote here
