The Edge: "I'd like to be the vanguard of this resurgence of guitars!"

U2

U2 have just released a mellow acoustic reworking of 40 of their songs with Songs Of Surrender but it sounds like the band's impending Achtung Baby Las Vegas residency must have inspired them. The Edge says has a big guitar statement simmering on his creative hob for their next album. What Bono has already suggested will be a "noisy, uncompromising, unreasonable guitar album."

“We are turning the amps on," The Edge confirmed to Mojo magazine. "I certainly think the rock that we all grew up with as 16- and 17-year-olds, that rawness of those Patti Smith, Iggy Pop records… that kind of power is something we would love to connect back into.”
