    incredible...

    just listen to bono talking to the guy from MTV before getting on the truck. the man is pure love. God is at work in this man and this bands music!

    PS: I'm soooo excited about this new album. I think it's gonna be razor sharp! I can't wait to start seeing news about U2 showing up somewhere unexpectedly and promoting their new album.



    didn't the rolling stones play on a flatbed truck in NYC in 1975? Hmm, methinks this album will be awesome:
    after their tours in 1975 and 1976 they released Some Girls, a response to hard rock at the time. It goes down as one of their best ever. I'm wondering if U2's album will do the same. My reason? U2 has always tried fitting in, then in came the 90s. Many of us love Achtung, Zooropa and Pop. However those albums defied music at the time, and created a sound that was way ahead of its time. Perhaps on the next record they'll make something that to some seem years ahead, but to me a reminder that rock music is still on top. That U2 is the best band around, and this is how you make music. The sound might fit in a little, but will be their own.

    an album in response to hiphop and emo rock, something similar has already been done. panic at the disco's "pretty odd" is influenced by beatles era music.

    Ummm......I don't want any sequel or any association whatsoever with October thank you very much.


    What about:
    'Girl'
    'Peace'
    'Achtung mate'
    'Zouth America' or 'Zoostralia'
    'All That You Want To Leave Behind, But Can't Leave Behind Because You're Drunk'
    'Don't Know How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, But I Know It Won't Happen With Just Music'


    (I'd prefer Zoostralia, like that one)

    Haha..actually given Bono's latest form....naming the new album 'Peace' wouldn't be out of the question! It could be War's antithesis...

    Well, Peace would be nice, but it's a bit simple. At least I hope they won't pick another long name. I'm getting tired of typing How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb and All That You Can't Leave Behinzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

    What about:
    The Last Change (it's probably the last time they start something completely new)
    The Automatic Monster (don't know why, just sounds nice)
    Nordicae (one of the songs is North Star)
    On The Other Side Of The Fontier
    Behind The Horizon (One of the songs is No Line At The Horizon)

    with the past two albums there have been songs in relation with the title:

    ATYCLB with Walk On (probably the lyric gave the title)
    "the only baggage you can bring is all that you can't leave behind"

    HTDAAB: Fast Cars, which is on some copies of the album.
    "they're in the desert to dismantle an atomic bomb

    as for the other albums, its really on where they were or what was going on at the time, here's some I could think of:

    War: over in Europe people were scared about a nuclear war, see the Who's political album "It's Hard" and London Calling by the Clash.

    Rattle & Hum: from Bullet the Blue Sky, they only song on the album not released as a single that was very popular.

    Zooropa: Zoo TV tour of Europe in 1993. Zoo TV + Europa = Zooropa

    Pop: at the time most music was pop and bubble gum-esque, also a great pun for the great music with the name.
  7. Why not Mercy?

    In latest news: U2 will start their Mercy-tour in Las Vegas tonight

    Well, the album may well be, but that won't mean the tour will - look at the last 2 tours. Vertigo and Elevation were song names, not album names, and they may stick on that theme
