That Woman at 7:25 - 7:35 who asked the question about '25 Years Time', I wonder if shes still around now, but its 22 Years now since this Interview took place and her question has been very nearly answered.. they're still in the business and as big as ever!
It's interesting seeing the guy ask them what was next after Rattle And Hum, knowing that in 3 years, they were going to chop down the Joshua Tree with Achtung Baby.
'Cause they care more about selling records nowadays than creating great music. Right now, they've gone off the original mission of writing more original non-mainstream music because NLOTH didn't hit the charts enough. U2 is not as it was.
And it's to the point where they could record an album of power tool noises in a garage, and win 8 Grammys for it.
They're lost all the magic for me a long time ago. Now it seems that U2 is just a brand name. More of a corporation than a band.
It takes more than over-the-top space ship stage productions to keep my interest. But that's the only thing that's going to save that piece of crap NLOTH.
The press was nice to them back then...whereas the press is totally shitty to them now and has been since I remember

I just noticed how Adam has been more quiet lately, he used to talk a lot more in interviews, like this one for example...
TrinityMacPhisto 2 years ago
Yeah I noticed that too, and the Edge talks a bit more now than he used to. They must have swaped roles.

He hasn´t changed at all. He just has completely lost fear to popular success.
They don´t write or play music to be in magazines. The fact they are is a random thing.

It's so nice to see Bono saying that selling more records is not an artistic achievement or a virtue. He's really changed now.
