As of late, they have been most notably associated with Spider-Man, the Broadway musical. U2′s front man Bono and The Edge wrote the music for the comic book based musical. Unfortunately, the play has been somewhat of a struggle and continues to garner negative press from critics.
Pet Shop Boys front man, Neil Tenant, decided to shed light on the plays troubled state, being that he has plenty of experience in composing theatrical music. Tenant first gained experience after writing the music for his own 2001 musical, Closer to Heaven.
Tenant says that Bono and The Edge, “are having a ghastly time” right now with Spidey. He then went on to say,“I’m sure they’re discovering that when you start to write musicals it’s a lot more difficult than you might have thought, because your music has got to work theatrically.” Fair point.
Regardless of what happens with the Broadway show, U2 will remain as one of the most iconic and respected bands of all time, making them the perfect candidate for Fresh Artist of the Day!
