Discussion of U2's future: new singles, new tour, etc.

hehe, I still can't believe it, you bet we're still in a daze!
only bono and edge came out late at night (or early in the morning, lol),
but they were really nice.

very hard to tell!
we were all pressing our ears against the doors (must've been a funny sight )
and trying to hear as much as we could. one sounded very powerful, fast drums,
typical edge sound.. I'd say it was louder and wilder than vertigo
the other song had some chorals in it, if I heard it correctly.. but really can't put it
into any previous era - all new stuff, me says!

"Fast drums, louder & wilder than Vertigo". Nice! Sounds "sonically delicious" to me! I am that much more excited for the release. I think were in for their best since Achtung Baby.

Originally posted by flowerchildu2 were at hq on the 11th/12th as well, macstripey & I were lucky enough to meet them

brian eno and daniel lanois were there too and we heard two new songs through the thick doors of the studio, they sounded awesome! (we also heard bono singing live with someone, probably edge, who played the guitar)
they are moving their stuff to france now, so I guess they're definitely in the final phase!

Congrats! I'll echo Harry and say you guys are very very lucky!

VERY happy to hear that you'd characterize the new songs as nothing like previous eras. Fast drums, wilder than Vertigo--absoklutely can't wait to hear the new sound.

We are of course making the assumption that Jana (Flowerchild) wasn't on hallucinogens, crack, weed or something similar at the time and didn't in fact imagine the entire thing lol...

Very true, very true...i think we can give her the benefit of the doubt.
Though I'd need strong drugs to calm me down if I ever met Bono, so...who knows...

Nota Bene back achta--Thank you, thank you for the avatar kudos. *bows* Bono crawling in a velvet robe + champagne + sultry look on his face = a very happy me.

Also, you're really keeping track of avatars? Dammit, that means I'll have to change mine every day now to keep you on your toes...

Although you changed yours recently as well I think.

Originally posted by flowerchilddefinitely NOT been on drugs lol.
it's been a hard day in the rain and cold, but when I heard something behind those
doors my brain went from standby to full working mode again!

of course we don't know if what we heard will be on the album,
I can only tell that I heard 2 new songs and that those sounded great to me

who knows, maybe they played them on purpose, because they definitely
knew there were more than 10 people standing outside and waiting for something
to happen.
