    I think, if they were really afraid about people recording their in-work songs, they wouldn't let fans hang out in front of the studio, the wouldn't play tracks to fans, they wouldn't play new songs at a volume easily audible by passing tourists...

    What they worry about imo is that copies of the masters or other studio quality outtakes might leak. And they're right about that.


    And with the world of bootlegging (not concerts, but studio stuff) you have to be very careful. Plenty of new releases have leaked three months before the final release, in the last year. Things can be taken and uploaded within minutes.
  2. Who would spoil the first release of a song by listening to a version recorded by a dutch guy in shorts vacationing in France? From his phone no less?

    They probably also played it to some journalist in Bono's car, to Jay-Z and a hairdresser, so why not in a beach-house? They did that in the past, too. It's a good way to keep fans interested and it's free promotion...

    Whether the people were really there is another question...


    Anyway...in teh clips you posted there are constantly two Dutch persons talking to each other, a woman and a man. They talk about Bono, she also says she already saw Bono twice when they were there. Ben probably is Dutch, and this source seems quite good to me.

    I think it's on the 7 disc version somewhere. And it has made it on one of the Ultra Rare Trax discs, too. But don't quote me on that.
  9. Hello!
    I don't know that it has already written here in this topic, but I saw a rumour tracklist for the new album in a Hungarian U2 site:

    02. Moment Of Surrender
    03. For Your Love
    04. One Bird
    05. No Line On The Horizon
    06. It's Six O'Clock
    07. If I Could Live My Life Again
    08. Love Is All We Have Left
    09. North Star
    10. Mercy
    11. Lead Me In The Way I Should Go
    12. You Can't Give Away Your Heart

    I don't know we can believe in this, but i think it's very exciting. I'm really waiting for the new album!

    I think it's just a list people made up from some sources.
    Most of them are songs U2 mentioned in interviews about their recordings for the new album, and some are 'confirmed' tracks as mentioned in an article by the Sunday Mirror (I believe) few days ago.

    Yep. That article clearly cut and pasted that exact rumored tracklisting from U2 fansites. "It's Six O'Clock" is the most laughable for an actual title.

    Agreed. I think as free promotion, though, it's pretty harmless. I certainly don't mind it, and neither does anyone else who downloads these clips.
