The band has been rocking for 20 years, has entered the R&R Hall of Fame, repeatedly wins Grammies, and has yet to grow stale.
Have you read the words to Vertigo? If you do, you'll understand what Bono means when he sings "your love is teaching me how to kneel. KNEEL!" Don't let the hyped up melody deceive you. They know how to write.
The Edge is smooth guitar, not rock, but pure skill.
So what-what... wanna fight me, huh?
