Discussion of U2's future: new singles, new tour, etc.

Originally posted by flowerchildwhat I don't always get is... why do some people want them to be so 'experimental'?
define experimental first of all what exactly do you guys expect? achtung baby 2? wouldn't be experimental nor new, cos they've been there.

but most importantly (imo) I think u2 found their sound by now, I'd be somewhat disappointed if they threw that away and went totally gaga with something new that's not them.

Originally posted by drewhigginsI'll be glad if he's not on guitar (though he did alright on The Fly on Vertigo). I'd love to see a return to the harmonica, though like Desire, or even flute.

Like Bono on the piano?

I don't need an experimental album, just a good one.
I for one love the Pop-Album. A lot of people would call that one experimental while I find a lot of Boy and War sounds in it - mixed with some new influences. So experimental is pretty relative...

Worst case scenario for me would be a "Window in the skies" album. Awful vision.

So you didn't like Window In The Skies? I thought it was a nice little tune - nothing groundbreaking and overly brilliant, but nice.

it's hard to fault but it makes me wince. To nice and cheery.. . . .

I think it's overproduced and too polished. I get a toothache from all this bling bling, oh oh and falsetto.
