1. *I’d tell Bono: Less is more. Use fewer words. Don’t go too close to your singing limits.
    *I’d tell Edge: More is more. Play more solos. And longer.
    *I’d tell Adam: Less is more. More of silence makes cool grooves even cooler.
    *I’d tell Larry: More is more. Remember Bad, Luminous Times, Streets? Go there again. And again.
    *I’d be Dave Grohl
  2. I’d tell Bono: “You’re capable of more than you think, rediscover your confidence in your voice, and find the falsetto, I know it’s there somewhere”

    I’d tell Edge: “don’t be afraid to be sparse, not every song needs jangling chords. And don’t forget the Almighty keyboard”.

    I’d tell Adam: The up-tempo songs only drive as fast as you push them, so put as much emphasis on your right hand as you have been your left hand the last decade”

    I’d tell Larry: “ it’s OK to be more sparse with your snare, and use your floor times instead of your high hat on every song”.

    I’d be Thomas Bangalter
  3. I'd tell Bono, they still don't know of you in the rural forests of Guam

    I'd tell Edge, the mix on Gone 2002 Best Of is missing something. You should try it again.

    I'd tell Larry, the skins are sounding like the God of Thunder in this part of the basement.

    I'd tell Adam, You've come a long way.

    I'd be Jesus
  4. I tell them to stop overthinking things. Go back to 4 guys and make a fucking rock record.
  5. *I’d tell Bono: The radio doesn't care about your band anymore.
    *I’d tell Edge: Are you sure you were on the last album?
    *I’d tell Adam: Be groovy.
    *I’d tell Larry: You're drumming for The Artane Boys' Band again.
  6. I’d lock the band in a room and make them listen to Pop multiple times.

    Then I’d tell them to go make the album they thought Pop could have been.

    Then I’d tell them on their next tour they can only play songs from AB, Zooropa, Pop and their new Pop-inspired album.

    I’d then congratulate them ahead of time on “winning” 2022.
  7. Bono: Take off those silly Lennon shades and put on these wraparound ones, you don't need relevance anymore.

    Edge: Make those guitars sound like keyboards, long drones instead of jangles

    Larry: I know you hate being involved in the whole promotion cycle and just prefer to play, show the band you formed what it's true essence is

    Adam: Get grooving, and keep the long hair and beard.

    wow...
  9. I think it would be more effective to let Eno and Lanios to listen to experimental electronic music in a room without windows for a week and then inspire the band.

    Imagenie Eno, Lanios, Flood and some experimental dance producer like this

    Re-make the album you choose to pretend never happened,re-visit Flopmart to boost your career and win 2022??
  11. I would ask Springsteen and Aiello to produce a new U2 album.
  12. Forget about the album/tour cycle throw out a few EPs,forget about trying to be relevant nobody over 40 in the music industry is ,let Edge run riot on the guitar 🎸 and make a more raw record like War with very little overdubs and production.
