God, it's obvious to me that The Edge is delusional, based on this doc I saw a month ago. He repeatedly plays the riff to "Get On Your Boots" like he really thinks it's this amazing thing. It sucks, Edge. You screwed up and I hate reading how those who don't like it aren't into challenging music. There are a lot of U2 fans that are like that, but that's not the problem with this song. It's way too CONSERVATIVE.
It makes me think that The Edge is the main problem with U2 not taking enough risks. He also recently said he wished he wrote that decent, but by no means transcendant, song "Wonder Wall". Really, Edge? You like stuff because it's popular and formulaic? "Wonder Wall" isn't Goo Goo Dolls or Third Eye Blind or anything so atrocious, but it's nothing that amazing.
