U2 in Joshua Tree era

"We have an extraordinary musical genius in our band. We will try, I will try, to put into words the music The Edge is making. I make it with him. But it’s Las Vegas or bust, baby. The fight is for our future. It’s love versus luck. But that’s what our band is built around. It’s not just friendship. We overuse the word ‘love’ like The Beatles did. And you’re either… it’s like, ‘Whoa, back off’. Because it’s a lazy word to use unless it has meaning." - Bono on new music, October 2023
