NLOTH: General discussion thread

Originally posted by sdking91:I just got the issue of Q yesterday, and I've been away for two weeks, so if this has already been discussed, I'm sorry. I've been working my way through the interview, which has been amazing. It's a great read. But I noticed a little box on the Edge's interview that says he punched Bono in the face on stage one time. Does anyone know anything about that? This is from the interview, on page 54 of the magazine.

So we can't discuss the beach clips which are actual songs from the album, but questions like this (and a repost at that) are topical?

Yeah - this happened on one of the early tours, either Boy or October, but not really sure exactly when. Apparently Larry fucked up the drum intro to 11 o'clock tick tock, and Bono was none-too-pleased about it, so he decided to try and attack Larry over the drum riser. Edge, seeing this, threw his guitar down and promptly punched Bono in the face to stop him, or at least that's how the story goes anyway. No doubt it's gotten more elaborate and larger-than-life as the years have gone by!!

Cheers,
Sean.

Originally posted by U2BYU2BONO: I'd counted in a song and Larry hadn't come in. I counted it in again and he still didn't come in. I looked around; to my psychopathic eyes he looked like he was hiding behind the drum kit. So I picked up the kit to show the audience the drummer hiding behind and chucked it into the crowd. There was a total mess on stage - I think Edge tried to knock me out.

So this will take it up to a possible 13 tracks? Bono mentioned the album is long, with the length of some songs (Moment of Surrender in particular). This could be one of U2's longest albums I reckon - bar Rattle and Hum.
