THE EDGE EMBARRASSED BY WHITE STRIPES REWRITE
U2 star THE EDGE avoided an embarrassing plagiarism battle when he played a new song for WHITE STRIPES star JACK WHITE.
The guitarist thought he’d composed a new hit and played the untitled track for his brother, who insisted it sounded familiar to White’s Seven Nation Army - a track The Edge loves.
Unconvinced, the rocker sat down with White while they were shooting new guitar documentary It Might Get Loud and played him the song.
The Irishman says, "I went back and listened, and it wasn’t exactly (Seven Nation Army), but it was way too close. I played it for Jack, and he was like, ‘Mmm, it’s a bit close, isn’t it?’"
