    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...

    NB - nice avatar you got there Nicole! I notice that must have been the third in about 2 days though...

    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.

    I don't know if I'd be that ecstatic - chuffed to bits certainly, but I wouldn't...I dunno lol. I'm weird about celebrity status etc....

    C'mon, play fair! I just remember seeing you post something with a newish avatar a day or so ago, only to find this one today! I don't pay special attention as such, but you do grow to associate people on here by the avatars before anything else...

    I just have a head for 'faces'

    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.



    @anstratdubh1979

    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!


    Awesome...I think a definite release-date will come soon, together with the album-name.
  5. definitely 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.

    Those wily Irishmen, playing songs they know will cause a stir in the fan community!
  7. Argh, I can't cope with all this intrigue and suspicion guys...

    the thing is kids are now more subject to finding music on the web. whatever the best song is they have to have. the original charting is based upon sales, done by fans. hip-hop is another. just wish there would be a rap song where someone sings (is that an oxymoron?).

    However, there is good news. U2start, I don't care about the Billboard Hot 100, because it means crap to me. I go by itunes charts, mainly because so many people use that or steal the songs. I love how Viva la Vida has been #1 on those charts since release. I expect to see this song up there even longer since the album has yet to come out in the US.

    Plus any song that the radio stations shelve is "old". Then again my hit radio station sometimes plays some ACDC and others, but the songs are cliché by the artist.

    As for hip hop, metal, and others, listen up! I figure this new album will out your ranks and put your genres to shame.
