Algo vai mudar na tour!
The Edge declarou que os U2 aceitaram colaborar no espectaculo de beneficiencia para com as vitimas do Furacão Katrina sem pensarem um minuto. O guitarrista da banda declarou ainda que algo vai mudar na terceira légua da Vertigo Tour que começa hoje no Canadá:
«U2 guitarist The Edge says the band's last-minute involvement in two Hurricane Katrina TV fundraisers over the weekend was a no-brainer.
The Irish rockers, who arrived in Toronto early Friday to begin rehearsals at the Air Canada Centre leading up to tomorrow's launch of the second leg of their North American tour, taped two performances at the venue later that day for Friday's multi-channel Shelter From The Storm broadcast and last night's MTV ReactNow special.
"America's, most of the time, giving in some shape or form, this was an opportunity to show that that could be reversed," said the 44-year-old guitar player in a Canadian exclusive with the Sun last night while seated in the stands at the ACC. "This was an opportunity to just stand up and be counted and say this is a need that should be met at this moment in time in whatever way it can be. We were very happy to just weigh in there."
The Edge said they feel like they're starting over after a month break and have no choice but to incorporate recent events into this latest leg.
"We're working on some new arrangements for songs, trying out a few things, so we have (Sunday) and the day after too to work with the stage," he said. "But obviously too, it's a different world right now, post this Gulf Coast disaster, we've got a few new things to consider and it would be wrong not to in someway reference it in the show. We haven't figured out quite how, what would be appropriate, but it's the thing that's on everybody's mind."
