Bono & The Edge Do Spider-Man 2009-06-10 by PuddleSwimmer | 19 Comments | Everyone knows the story of Peter Parker and his sticky secret. In one way or another, we can all relate to him.
"Every rock & roll star probably started out as the geek who got bullied on in school, and eventually their form of revenge was to write songs or learn to play guitar. I was more of a Green Goblin, " U2 frontman jokes alongside guitarist, The Edge. A video interview shows the pair talking about their upcoming broadway musical, Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark.
Bono and The Edge have written the music and lyrics for the musical which opens on February 18th, 2010.
Bono shares, "We were open to the idea of musical theater, but Spider-Man, that’s a different thing again, because that’s comic books, and there’s a whole series of relations between punk rock and rock bands and comic books, that goes back years."
The U2 couple wanted to "to mess with all these aspects of pop culture, put them in a blender and see what comes out on the other end."
No casting has been officially announced, but it's rumored that long-time broadway star Alan Cumming will be playing the role of the Green Goblin.

I lol'd at this
| | |
the first interpretation i got from the title of this article was very disturbing
| | |
Lol...pretty cocky to call yourself "the edge". Especially for how mediocre he is.
| | |
I think he's pretty cool, I met him once and he let me wear his hat
| | |
I think he's an awesome guitarist, lots of flow and great tone. His writing isn't the best, but hey, why nitpick.
I want to see this, if only for the laughs, but it would be in New York. Hmph.

thread title provoked this response in me
GAY

Especially for how mediocre he is.
People copy his tone because he's mediocre, yes.
| | |
The Edge is a very economical guitar player, this is not a bad thing.
| | |
The man isn't my favourite guitarist, but he has his own sound and in this day and age thats quite hard to do...
although his name is lame and he loves his delay pedal lol
| | |
This will be reatrdedly absurd... which isnt bad
| | |
Wonder how much delay there will be...I'm predicting lots.
| | |
Spider Man, Spider Man, does whatever a spider can.
| | |
Bono & co. ride the cash cow. Again. What great philanthropists.
| | |
I really wish I lived in America sometimes.
| | |
First sentence made me lol pretty hard. And woo for Alan Cumming. He's funneh.
