It says so...On 'home' at 'Did you know' it said that Larry played bass on the beginning of Zooropa...

Originally posted by yeahWell, to me "Sexy Boots" as a song title doesn't sound worse than "40", "The Fly", "Lemon", "Kite" or "A man and a woman" - or "Achtung Baby" for an album...

But I'm with those who say it's only a working title...

I for one love "Achtung Baby" as an album title.

but if they do call it "Sexy Boots", it better be a damn good song...

Maybe it is Sexy Boats, who knows... Or Sexy Woods, almost the same pronunciation.

Bungling Bono is blamed for leaked U2 tracks

BONO should be more careful about where and when he decides to blare out tracks from his band’s new album.
The U2 rock lord has been stung by a cheeky holidaymaker who overheard the singer indulging his own ego last week.
Most families have a bit of Club Tropicana by WHAM! rattling out of a tinpot stereo on their hols.
But the music idol is quite rightly proud of his abilities and was playing tracks from the Oirish band’s eagerly awaited new release.
The fan couldn’t believe it as he strolled along the beach by Bono’s palatial villa in the South of France when he heard that famous voice thundering out the windows.
And the savvy passerby was sharp enough to record what he heard then race home to stick the clips on YouTube.
The band have recently put the finishing touches to their first studio album in four years.
Universal Music Group, which owns the band’s Interscope label, have registered the domain name No Line On The Horizon — suggesting that will be the CD title.
It sounds like a self-help book BRITNEY SPEARS might read.
Four songs have been posted including the title track and Sexy Boots, which will be the first single.
The other two leaked tracks are thought to be called Moment Of Surrender and For Your Love.
Super producer and long-time U2 collaborator DANIEL LANOIS, who has produced the album with BRIAN ENO, reckons it’s the best he has ever recorded with the band.
He said: “I think we can safely say it’s one of the great, innovative records from U2. Bono’s in great form, singing fantastic.”
I’ve heard the leaked tracks and it definitely sounds like a return to form.
Their last album, How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, was great — as was the Vertigo Tour — so they have a lot to live up to.
The album is pencilled in for release in November with Sexy Boots strutting its stuff a couple of weeks before.
The names of several other tracks on the album have also been leaked and include Love Is All We Have Left, One Bird, If I Could Live My Life Again and The Cedars of Lebanon.
Bono is notoriously secretive about new material.

You’d think one of the richest men in rock would have a pair of decent headphones.

U2 frontman Bono has inadvertently given French fans a preview of their new album, which is reportedly called No Line On The Horizon.

Cheeky fans wandering near the Irish singer and activist's home in Eze, in the south Of France, heard his distinctive voice booming out of the family's villa and recorded clips of it on a mobile phone.

Song snippets of the previously unreleased tracks are on YouTube and fans now expect they will on the supergroup's 12th studio record, out on November 15.

While the band are yet to confirm the mooted album moniker, their record company Universal, has registered the domain name nolineonthehorizon.com

British newspapers have reported song titles for the record include For Your Love, Love is All We Have Left, One Bird, Moment of Surrender, If I Could Live My Life Again and The Cedars of Lebanon.

Their first single is believed to be called Sexy Boots but it will more likely be the title track, for which their longtime visual collaborator, control director Anton Corbijn has shot a video.

Yep, but we've known this for 4 weeks now, so that's not as new as the Telegraph presents it.
