Edge Comes Knockin'
Edge has spoken to U2.com in a members-only interview about the third leg of the Vertigo Tour, writing for soundtracks and making music. To access the complete interview, click here. You can also listen to "Don't Come Knocking," written by Bono and Edge for Wim Wenders latest film, on the same page. Snippets are below.
U2.Com - The first night of the tour featured two tracks (In A Little While and Fast Cars) making their live debut in Vertigo ’05.
It’s always a good thing to mix things up on a first night: we put loads of new things in there for the first time, it was an experiment and even if they didn’t all come off, it was worth the experiment. We have a lot of new ideas we’re planning to put into the set which we’re still rehearsing, we’re working on three or four other songs. The problem is what songs are going to make way for a new song because we are really enjoying the songs that we are playing, they flow together so well. I don’t want to say what the songs are because that would spoil the surprise!
So, are you writing new material on Garageband for U2 as well?
We are writing all the time. I sort of write music for recreational purposes, that is my fun! Unfortunately it doesn’t necesarily mean that it is all good but some of this stuff I’m happy with. There are some things I’m very excited about.
I’m already starting to think about the next record, I love being at the beginnings of getting something going, all the possibilities. And I think it is a very exciting time in rock n roll. Hip-Hop had its way in terms of breaking new ground and for a while there it dominated the creative zeitgeist but now I feel that bands and rock’n’roll ideas are back with a vengeance. There are so many great bands, so many new ideas in rock n roll, in guitar-based music. It’s wonderful to see, like some of the bands we have had on the road with us, and I am very inspired by all that.

It is Andrea.
