Quotes
I have a curiosity that compels me to find ways to make music that are fresh and new.
The Edge
For me, my awkward phase corresponded to an interest in rock n’ roll. From experience, I’m guessing an insecure childhood is probably quite a common thing among people who start a rock band.
The Edge
Weirdly enough, if I’m having trouble with a guitar part – not the playing of it but the writing – I’ll mess around with echo and other effects, just turn everything up and make it as crazy as can be, and it winds up taking me somewhere. I’ve found so many guitar parts from echo. It’s limitless.
The Edge
A trumpet sounds pretty much like a trumpet, and that’s true of a lot instruments; pianos sound like pianos, but there’s something about the guitar – the range of possibilities is much broader.
The Edge
Jamming is really the most awful, excruciating experience for me; I really don’t enjoy it.
