I just had to transcribe Edge's answer to Chris Blackwell (Island Records) calling U2 "The Rolling Stones or The Who of the 80s" (7:07). His reply is a model of youthful diplomacy :-)
Edge: "Well, I think what Chris is trying to say is...that those bands became the focus of a generation in a sense. They really represented music for the people who grew up when they were in their heyday. I think we, as a band, have the sort of stability, internally, and the sort of determination and...conscientiousness to be a band of that stature. I think that's what he's getting [at]. I don't know whether I actually agree but that's another thing."
It differs. I think when he knows he needs to be serious and smart, he is. But go watch Still Haven't Found live from Milan. The whole thing he says before is kind of dumb, and his grammar isn't the greatest!! Haha. But we know he's really intelligent.
