ON THE EDGE
The new U2 record will be a "very raw rock'n'roll album", according to the band's guitarist The Edge.
The Irish rock legends are currently working on the follow-up to 2001's 'All That You Can't Leave Behind', which is due out next years. Speaking to XFM, Edge also revealed that U2 planned to tour the album in 2004.
Picking-up the award for 'Outstanding Song Collection' at last week's Ivor Novello Awards in London, the guitarist spoke about the new album. He explained: "It's going really well."
"And we're writing some of the best songs we've ever written. It's encouraging to get an award like this, it's encouraging to kick even harder and make sure that the next batch of songs are as good as anything we've ever done."
Attempting to explain the sound of the record, The Edge said: "It's hard to describe it, other than its just a very raw rock n' roll album."
"A band in its primary colours of guitar, bass, drums, voice and a lot of vitality and energy...so far anyway. By the time it comes out it could be a country and western album."
"For me the last record and tour was just a return to the basic sound of the electric guitar and how amazing that can sound," he explained. "The simplicity of it. And this new record follows on from that, but even more extreme."
