Have you seen U2's live show? It's boring as hell. It's like watching CNN.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I just don't get that new hot music. I don't know anything about all these groups like U2.
We need to be creative, on the cutting edge, challenged, and it's really hard going. It's relentless, and we're relentless, and we have a history of breaking engineers, producers. I mean, people come out of working with U2 and just go, 'I just don't know what's happened; it feels like a lifetime has passed by.' And that's just the way we work.
U2 is sort of song writing by accident really. We don't really know what we're doing and when we do, it doesn't seem to help.
For us there's U2 music, and then there's everything else.
I don't like the name, U2, actually.
Everything on TV is perfect, and it's so boring.
I get to hear the really good or the really bad things in the press, but I don't read it. I can afford to say that because public opinion does not drive U2's audience.
I'm still digging long-established bands like U2 - they're new to me!
Hanging out with politicians and corporations is very unhip work. But I think that the U2 audience have turned out to be incredibly subtle in their understanding.
U2's best work has always been when we didn't know what we're doing.
