I'm not positive either (I'd rather see Eno/Lanois), but U2 still is a rockband and will be a rockband in the future. That's exactly what Yeah pointed out earlier...a hip-hop producer doesn't make U2 hip-hop artists. And I know you never said such a thing, but you did say you are afraid it would divide U2-fans in two. Why?
The transition from Boy/October/War tot TUF was also a big step, from Lillywhite to Eno/Lanois...did it divide the fans back then?
You might be conservative, but you're still a U2-fan after TUF, AB and Pop, all innovative albums in their time. So why would a new album slightly produced by a hip-hop artist divide fans?
I see what your gettin at, and I hear you in that
Oh, Im not afraid it will divide U2 fans, it was just an opinion about different tastes
I could see the older fans of U2, not liking the idea of a hip hop producer being brought in
IAnd its my point, its not about being right or wrong
Coz someone is always gonna be unhappy about where their goin in terms of sound
Like I said people want different things
Im with you on that one, divided we stand anyway in terms of what U2 fans want of U2
And it would be awfully boring as well, if everyone wanted the same thing
Im just bit careful with the idea of him doin somethin with U2, end of story
