- Despite having been inducted into the Hall of Fame, won multiple GRAMMYs and other international awards, U2 remains connected to their origin in the desert. Bono and The Edge, meet up with Zane Lowe in the desert outside Las Vegas to reflect on their fifteenth studio album, 'Songs Of Surrender'.
The band gives some insight into the environment that helped craft the new album and the experience listening to their catalog through the lens of the present day. They admit that the bundle they were as a result of the COVID pandemic influenced the project greatly. These circumstances, however challenging, allowed the band to experiment with new sounds and push them out of the "indie mentality".

As much as I absolutely adore and respect this band creatively and musically, the thing I’m most blown away by is that in an industry that is littered with volatile interactions, breakups, drugs, ODs, and salacious accusations/actions, the original lineup of Larry Mullen Jr, Adam Clayton, Edge, and Bono have stayed together uninterrupted for 45 years. That’s absolutely bonkers. No one in the history of rock has been able to say that. These 4 guys as a whole, and as individuals, are such a treasure.
My buddy's RV, and he got to drive them. What a helluva cool experience.
As a 53 year old, they are as interesting and valid to me as they were at Redrocks.
As a long time U2 fan, I feel sorry for those who still don't 'get it' or view them as pompous artists. If you know them well, you know better.
My god - i'm not even a massive U2 fan but these two are incredibly articulate. The intelligence and character stands out a mile. Same could be said of many people in the past ie. John Lennon and Paul McCartney....
When is Edge going to stop with the beanie already? And love him, but Bono needs to stop dying his hair & stop with the comb-over. Grow old gracefully, gents.
Probably one of the best interviews I've seen. I can't recall any interviewer to delve so deeply into the creative process of an artist. Well done, all around.
I'm 50 and have loved U2 for many many years...my daughter went to see INHALER 3 weeks ago, it's like history repeating itself again which is quite wonderful ❤️
I say every time going into these interviews, “just half now, the rest later.” Failed again. Nice work as usual, Zane, crew and Apple.
Solid interview. Loved that Zane didn’t stick to the script with the questions, but pushed a little deeper in the areas of creativity and process.
True Rock stars these good people!
TBH, I let out a little scream, when Zane said Part 2 coming soon!! Zane is the best interviewer in the biz and he LOVES himself some U2... I love getting to hear Edge's take on things more and more... U2 are humble dudes, but Zane hit on the fact- they are the hardest working band in music. They dig for Spirit. Thanks so much for this!
Interviews with these guys always re-remind me of why I love this band. Quality discussion, looking forward to part 2.
Glad we had this interview to put things in perspective. Zane is great with this kind of thing. We’re also encouraged by The Edge letting on there’s more NEW U2 music still coming.🎧
Im blown away by this interview. U2 were my first love, and hearing Bono and The Edge talk about songs like Bad brought back my early teen years (early 90's) sitting in my bedroom with a CD player listening to U2 albums (I had them all), surrounded by walls adorned with U2 posters.
I am kind of new to really loving U2. ( I’m in my thirties for reference) Always familiar with them, and even owned a couple of albums, but never my favorite band… but a couple of years ago I was in the desert with friends. Joshua Tree specifically, and we did edibles and listened to the JT and I swear to god , I have never had such a mind blowing music experience. Good edibles I guess ! Edge’s guitar was like nothing I had ever heard even though I had legit heard it 1000 times. Now I hope I get a chance to see them tour again!
This is definitely one of the best interviews I've ever seen.
“REVEALING is what good songs MUST do.” “Don’t bore us; get us to the chorus.” “The ENEMY of GREAT is ALMOST great.” Wow! Those insights inspire me to keep diligent working on my lyrics! Thank you!!!
Bono's voice is so beautiful ❤
🌵💚 love U2 since 1985 there are simply amazing souls and their music blow me away and Bono has the most amazing voice in all the Universe 💘
