I've listened to and I found it a bit more disappointing than you let on. That part the media has focused on is very short and minor and insignificant, but they're clearly the most interesting parts to a general audience. Who the fuck wants to read an article that's like Bono and The Edge talk about the history of the band in generalities for the millionth time?
It's also insane to me that they wouldn't do over the iTunes thing, that they would do over Spiderman. (I can't even remember what the fuck that was all about, no one does.)
And finally, on your last point, he fucks up. The question is about which song they most expected to become a hit and it didn't, and he answers putting out Get Out of Your Own Way as the first single, when they should have picked Moment of Surrender - just off by two albums and eight years, Bono
But it is quite disheartening that in my view they're so wrong about their own music. I understand why he's proud of Vertigo, it was huge, and it is heaps of fun live, as much as I'd be glad not to hear it again. But they expected Get Out to become a hit - it's so irredeemably bad. They really think the new Sing 2 song is this great, transformative, meaningful piece of music.
There were some nice parts though. Talking about the power of their live shows, Edge saying some nice things about Bono's early years. I also thought it was interesting getting an insight into the anxiety that drives their bad decisions. I so often think of them as not human, so I feel the tiniest bit more empathetic towards them now, even though I wish someone would just shake them and tell them to go the other way. (But then, I also found myself a little frustrated with their sense of their own importance and their legacy... it's almost like well, this is what U2 is and has to be and we have to follow this path.)
