Vox Pop: NZ musicians give their thoughts on U2

I met Bono at the airport in Christchurch and I asked him for a cigar and he told me to F-off. He was semi-kidding but he just went, "Nah. [expletive] off". The first U2 show I went to was at Lancaster Park in 1989 and that's what got me thinking, "Right, I need to do that for a job". I've been to about three U2 concerts since then.
You could say the Eagles are the biggest band because their Greatest Hits, as far as I know, is the biggest-selling album ever. But in numbers at shows it's got to be U2 and the Rolling Stones. I think they deserve it because I still like them after all these years.
Hollie Smith I love the idea of a band being together for that long because anyone who can do that is ridiculously cool. I'm not a crazy fan of the music. It's more of a respect thing and the idea of what the band has achieved and what Bono has achieved on a personal and political level, that's what I'm high-fiving.
Without a doubt, them and the Rolling Stones are the biggest, because anyone who can stay in a band and stay positive for more than 20 years of being with the same people every day deserves mad respect.
