    What Bono said about Adam its so powerfull that even "iceman" Larry cried.

    7:51 I read somewhere that 3rd Kodak moment, Adam Clayton standing in front of closed eyes Bono when dead thread was there and some comments about that story's not real. Bono cleared my doubt.

      Anderson Cooper hilarious. The guy created his own style and has signature hooks on some of the greatest songs ever. He is a completely unique player. Highly disagree with the idea thats hes “a bad guitar player”.

      @Anderson Cooper Check this list of 100 greatest artists of all time which was published by Rolling Stone. U2 are placed #22 behind only bands such as the stones, beatles, led zeppelin. This list was voted on by fellow musicians and music insiders who know a thing or two about music. So its safe to say u know nothing about music...

      @Anderson Cooper why are you even watching this video? you just wanna hate on everything? go watch a man who actually knows a thing or two about music like Rick Beato and he will tell you U2 are one of the greatest bands ever with some of the best written songs of all time and that the Edge is one of the best most creative guitarists in rock n roll. but oh no don’t listen to people with actual music taste and knowledge.

      @Anderson Cooper
      Dude please. The Joshua Tree is considered a perfect album and one of the greatest albums ever. Second to that is their Achtung Baby album. The Edge isn’t a Stevie Ray Vaughn or Eddie Van Halen guitar player-he’s an ensemble landscape guitar player. But he is one of the greats because of his unique sound that is smeared across all of their songs.
