  1. it really doesn't make much sense for U2 to support Kings of Leon, does it? There's no way at this stage of U2's established career any band could take the stage after them.

    "Reliable sources" aren't reliable unless they've got "Offical U2" or "Live Nation" attached to them, I guess.

    I'm excited to hear Moment of Surrender. Seven and a half minutes of a studio song?
  2. It'd better be a damned good seven and a half minutes. Though I have songs which go for 45 minutes and Pink Floyd can make songs of 15 minutes at minimum.
  3. Whoa, the best interview on new album so far!!
  4. The effect is interesting, but what he actually plays isn't, it's a bit repetitive and doesn't go anywhere. But perhaps it's just him toying around with a new effect, and not a solo in progress, so it's all good.

    It's good that they set aside, the Rick Rubin material, and started fresh, keeps the album cohesive. I hope the cut Moment Of Surrender down from 7 1/2 minutes to something more manageable.
  5. Great interview, loads of information. Moment of Surrender seems cool, but I'm not convinced until I heard it.

    Seven and a half-minutes? Now that's got me excited; more of this please, and less 3 and a half minute throwaway songs like "All because of you".

    Thanks too for the article - brilliant bit of new info!!
  7. that interview gave us some awesome new info + the new video makes me all super excited again.
  8. 7,5 minutes....what song was 7 minutes before?

    LEMON!
  9. Ok we will wait for February


  10. It better be a really, really good, epic of a song to be that long. If it isn't quite so epic, they should cut it down to 5-6 minutes.

    Lemon works at 7 minutes, because it's a song you get 'lost' in, so that it becomes almost an experience, rather than just a song.
  11. Riders on the Storm from the Doors, also a long track and one big adventure.
  12. Album could come in February? Cool. I think they'll release it in March maybe. I'm gonna guess from Feb 1 to March 31st we'll have a new album.

    I don't wanna quote myself again but,

    Album in the spring, US tour in the summer.
