Luck & ego keep U2 going
11 April 2012
U2 attribute their success to "good luck and band ego".
Group effort: The Edge
The Irish rockers, who have just released their 12th studio album No Line On The Horizon, recognise they are privileged to have maintained worldwide success for so long and understand that each individual member of the group is no more important than the band as a whole.
Guitarist The Edge said: "Why have we stayed around so long? I think good luck in many regards and I suppose we just figured out the idea of a band ego being bigger than all other egos. We've got egos, the band members have, but we lay them to one side when we're working together. All our agendas align to the same ideal."
