I still can’t believe The Edge is already saying they wouldn’t rule out replacing Larry down the line. End the band if that’s the case.
Originally posted by dstankie:This has nothing to do with musicianship. Lots of people could play drums in U2. Hell, with a few months of practice to get my chops back, I could probably play drums in U2.
This is about almost fifty years of loyalty and commitment. U2 is Bono, Edge, Larry, and Adam. Period.

I hear you, but LOTS of great bands have replaced band members over the years for one reason or another. Even the Stones moved on after Charlie Watts died. The fact is that U2 is Bono, and maybe Edge because of his unconventional guitar playing that makes up U2's sound. Larry and Adam can be easily replaced. Not that the band would necessarily want to go on without those two, but it easily could.

Hard to believe that.
