    "TOILET TOUR... "


    well, back on topic...

    I read somewhere, the news we're going to hear is the release date for the single and album, maybe a name....



    If we get all of those details, that would make my week!


  2. It certainly be everyone's week.... but they're just rumours.... so let's just wait and see what really happens.... If I get any different info or any other rumours I'll post them....


  3. You'd better hope there's no ''leak'' of the 'Toilet' album. Great dream - maybe it's a concept album about adventures in the loo, and that's what the toilet clip we saw on U2.com was referring to. Ah well - hopefully that rumour about the new single in January is true.

    Anyone see this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/U2-Masterpieces/dp/B001E25MCO

    Your right
    Perhaps a name for this album could be "The Wait" or "Those rumours"
    Dedicated to all of our fans who waited and waited and waited

    I don't remember Bomb being so secretive. Or the wait for news being so frantic.
  7. still nothing? I'm getting jittery over here..


  8. This might interest those as for development-to-release information.

    If HTDAAB was first spoken about in July, and it was released November, we should have been getting proper official news October or November of this year - four months prior to press releases, media statements etc.


  9. At least it appears they're not doing a 'Pop' on us and releasing details (including tour dates) before the album's finished.



  10. It does make you wonder why everythin is so incredible hush hush now

    Well, look at how some of the world's biggest-selling albums took to record.

    Thriller: April - November 1982
    Black Ice: April - May 1980
    The Dark Side of the Moon: June 1972 – January 1973
    Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band: 6 December 1966 – 21 April
    The Joshua Tree: July - November 1986

    This delay may be for improving some songs. Originally, Full Metal Jacket and Tough were all going to be on HTDAAB. They didn't - how do we know they're not similar songs but with minor changes? Same as with ATYCLB - look at the number of songs they recorded. I can think of about 50 - 60, but they said they recorded over 100.

    With Thriller, for example, the small delay was for the songs to be improved and/or recorded. Songs like Hot Street, Nightline, Got The Hots, For All Time were never gonna be hits. And neither was Xanax and Wine on HTDAAB or Native Son, even. Same with the Pepper's demos and JT original songs. Wave of Sorrow could have never been a true hit as Streets has been, and neither would Rise Up.

    Because when people heard HTDAAB in previews, they said "And, what's new?" They don't want this to happen with the new album.
