  1. 7,5 minutes....what song was 7 minutes before?

    LEMON!
  2. Ok we will wait for February


  3. 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.
  4. Riders on the Storm from the Doors, also a long track and one big adventure.
  5. 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.
  6. I HATE WAITING!! frustrating lol . they need a new single NOW!
  7. the journalist actually asked good questions, and Edge gave awesome answers. Looking forward to February....this will be different guys, totally
  8. Originally posted by vanquish: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.


    we haven't had a long epic U2 song in a long time so I'm all for it

    the fact that Bono's lyrics are supposedly 3rd person, it sounds like his style is going (dare i say back) to the more poetic aspect of the past....which i am actually all for, I wouldn't see it as a regressive move. I think Bono should get more poetic and abstract...I love the directness of the lyrics of the last 2 records, but ready for him to fly again and explore the heart as Poet. Damn this album will be the best album ever.
  9. I hope it doesn't become U2's Chinese Democracy....
    anyway, listening to the new Kings Of Leon album, thougths arise about how this sound would be very cool and fitting to the new U2 sound... We'll see....


  10. C'mon have a little faith. Comparing U2 to Gunners is like chalk and cheese.

    I like the idea of this 7 1/2 minute epic though. Last time they went anywhere near that was Lemon (6:58), Zooropa (6:32), All I Want IS You (6:31), Love Rescue Me (6:25) and Hawkmoon 269 (6:22).

    All very good tracks except Love Rescue Me IMO.
