"We love this idea, especially in rock 'n' roll, of good guys and bad guys. We're the good guys; they that wear the suits are the bad guys. But in fact they're just the busy guys." -- Bono, 2000 |

U2 'album didn't pull off hits'
The Scotsman,
October 23, 2009
U2's Bono has said the band were disappointed about the lack of chart success for singles from their latest album.
No Line On The Horizon made it to the top of the albums chart but single "Get On Your Boots" only managed No. 12, while subsequent single "I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy" only reached No. 32.
Bono said that while songs such as "One" or "Beautiful Day" weren't massive or immediate hits, he was disappointed the band didn't quite "pull off the pop songs" with the new work. He added: "But we weren't really in that mindset and we felt that the album was a kind of an almost extinct species, and we should approach it in totality and create a mood and a feeling, and a beginning, middle and an end. And I suppose we've made a work that is a bit challenging for people who have grown up on a diet of pop stars." © Press Association Ltd., 2009.
