Q Awards - Innovation in Sound Award
Kommentar
In der Kategorie "Best Act in the World Today" ging U2 leider leer aus, Oasis gewann gegen die harte Konkurrenz von Muse, Coldplay, U2 und die Red Hot Chili Peppers. Larry Mullen Jr. präsentierte den Award für "Track of the Year", deren Gewinner 'Gnarls Barkley' mit ihrem Hit 'Crazy' waren.
Die Dankesrede von The Edge:
"If you have an inquiring mind, if you are drawn naturally towards the frontier of scientific and technological discovery. If you are the kind of person who finds themselves asking the question why? Far less often then why not? you should probably head for Silicon Valley and get a job at Microsoft.
If however you are lucky enough to have grown up during one of the most inspiration periods of rock music history, during the era of guitar players like John McGeogh, Stuart Adamson, Will Sargent, Bill Frizzell, Tom Verlaine, Richard Lloyd, Kevin Sheilds, Noel Gallagher, John Squire - and to have found a group of musical collaborators who make it possible for you to find a creative voice, then you just might end up having the kind of charmed existence that I feel I have had over the last few decades. Thanks to Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois, Bono, Adam and Larry and Paul for making it possible."
