U2 Guitarist Says Band Tests Itself Before Recording Each New Album
(11/14/02, 3 p.m. ET) -- In its first week, the U2 hits collection The Best Of 1990-2000 debuts at Number Three on the Billboard 200, moving nearly 185,000 copies. As a comparison, only the soundtrack to 8 Mile (the Number One movie in the country) and the debut solo album from Justin Timberlake did better.
As impressive as that is, U2 isn't resting on its laurels. The band has already started to work on its next studio album, the follow-up to 2000's All That You Can't Leave Behind.
Guitarist the Edge tells LAUNCH that even with all its success, U2 never takes for granted that making another album is an automatic proposition. "I think we kinda check ourselves every once in awhile, just to make sure that it's still working for us. And I think the criteria's always been the same, you know, 'Are we still making great records? Are we still relevant? Is it still working?' You know, 'Are we, are we enjoying it, and are the people that listen to the records enjoying it?' And so far, we can answer 'yes' to all those questions."
