Rumor (from Hot Press):
The Edge will put down his guitar for the next album, and instead put all his effort into growing back his hair and playing the xzylophone.
The Edge said, "We're really getting close to making the kind of music we've always wanted to make. It's just raw rock 'n roll: drums, bass, vocals, and the xzylophone.
Bono later told us, "The Edge is an angry man, banging on those xzylophone keys. He's broken about 3 or 4 xzylophones with only his pinky! He's really, really f*ckin' brilliant. Edge is on fire. Literally. We were playin' one day and he got so mad he got out a match and set the whole studio aflame. It was really, really f*ckin' brilliant, man. I wish Salman Rushdie could have been there."
Edge: "Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I will get an inspiration for a song. So I round up all the guys, we hit the studio, and start playin'. Man, it is really great. We're working on a song right now, it's called, "A Xzylophone's a Xzylophone." It's gonna be a classic. Then theres that other song, "Xzylophone and Wine." Great song.
The album will be released sometime early next year, and each album is rumored to have pieces from The Edge's actual xzylophones
