In this seven minute interview from Slane Castle, Bono and Adam talk about "Under A Blood Red Sky" as a resonse to the bootlegs that are beginning to circulate.  "It's an anti-bootleg device," Bono notes. Prophetically, Bono also states: "All of the songs on the LP, for me, are an end of an era, really.  It's the full stop at the end of a sentence for U2.  We don't know where we're going, and I can't give you a preview or anything like that...of where were going.  We don't know.  That's why we're here." Talking about being at Slane Castle recording what will become The Unforgettable Fire, Bono says: "This place is a retreat for us - this castle.  We need a certain degree of solitute to do what we want to do...which is make a definitive U2 record."
