Rock legend The Edge has revealed that he once came to blows with Bono

July 20, 2009

Rock legend The Edge has revealed that he once came to blows with Bono - over a drum kit.

He said: "It was one of those early gigs where you really feel your life depends on it being a great gig.

"Half way through the show, Larry's drum kit falls apart and he literally has a set of spanners out trying to fix it.

"Bono didn't see what was going on, so all he knew was that Larry had stopped playing and he just lost it."

Bono added: "I looked down and there was no drummer.

"So I lifted the drum kit to have a look at what was going on and a proper little row broke out and then the Edge just caught me with one... he hit me very hard."

The Edge shrugged and said: "He hasn't pushed me that far since."

Speaking on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross, the pair credited U2's success to the idea that everyone thinks it's their band.

The Edge said: "I think the way it works in our band is everyone thinks it's their band you know.

"Larry started the band so Larry reckons it's his band, but Adam was the manager before so he reckons it's his band.

"It goes without saying that Bono sees it as his band.

"The actual truth is, and I'm far too modest to say this, but it's my band."

Bono said: "The thing about four egos which I guess you must have if you want to be in a band, is that in this case, in the case of our band, the band's ego is bigger than any of the individual."
