Bono "Hard To Live With", Claims Bandmates

Apparently, Bono is just as crazy as his band U2's career ride is.

"It was a mad house. I think Bono drove us mad. It's very hard to live with Bono," admitted bassist Adam Clayton.

Three of the band -- Bono, Larry Mullen Jr. and Adam Clayton -- lived together in a house in Los Angeles in 1987, and even though they were living the American Dream, they found it very difficult to be with the brooding frontman all the time.

Clayton described their house as one that was about to demolished, and was built in "blocks" around a pool, resembling a commune. Bono would always go to underground clubs at night, basically living the rock star life.

The Edge, the guitarist, was the only one who chose not to live with band. He was lucky to have a refuge away from the group where he could work by himself.

"It was a strange time for me - things weren't going great at home," he tells Q magazine.

While he was "throwing himself into work," he pointed out the others as indulging too much on the band's success, which he compared to being in a "candy store."

"It was like being in a candy store - a lot of partying, a relatively hedonistic time."

As for Bono, he has no comment, but his statements to Q give a clue.

"A lot of the reasons people don't like us, apart from myself, which I understand because I have to live with me too - are actually what make us interesting."

He goes on to refer to the band in general, which he considers as the "most hated" rock group on the planet as well as "the most loved."

These confessions, however, do not save U2 from the creative block and crisis it chronically experiences. He tells Rolling Stone, "We've learned our craft - and therein lies the huge danger, which is there's a giant chasm between the very good and the great, and U2 right now has a danger of surrendering to the very good."
