(DotMusic) The Edge has described his feelings of sadness about U2’s hometown studio being demolished to make way for a housing development. The site, on Dublin’s Hanover Quay, is to be demolished to make way for luxury flats. U2 recorded parts of their last album, 2005’s “How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb”, in the building.
The band plan to build another studio at the location. Speaking to The Sun newspaper, the guitarist said: “It’s getting demolished as part of a redevelopment of the docklands. It is going to be turned into a tower block and we will make the penthouse into a studio. “It’s very sad, that place felt like home. “I don’t know what it will be like recording in the new studio, we are so used to the other place.”
Meanwhile, he also revealed that U2 have been songwriting in Morocco, although any album plans are still tentative. He added: “We don’t have anything scheduled for a new album. It’s nice not to have that pressure.”
