    Although it's kind of worrying that our band is getting this "end of career" treatment, if you know what I mean. Documentaries and biopics should be done after the topic band/person is no longer active imo.
    This band has so many phases in their career that if they really want to give each one their due time it seems like they'd have to start now.

    This next album (if it remains to be called Songs Of Experience) certainly puts the thought out there that this *may* indeed be their last album and last tour (the experience of everything from then until now). After all, it'd keep them going until 2020.

    Though then again, if you remember 2006: 'this is the end of something' as Bono said. That was said about the 18 Singles compilation and the end of the Vertigo Tour. So maybe 'this is the end of something' again.

    In U2 By U2, they were kind of implying in the final chapter that the Vertigo Tour was kind of them wrapping things up, getting to a point where they'd be ok calling it a night. And that was, as you said, a long time ago.
  4. I think SOA should be their last album. 15 albums is a nice number to round off their career and would complete the 'Songs Of' trilogy.
  5. I never want the inevitable to happen you know what I mean? But I'm sure they are sitting on a lot of live material they could always just release.
  6. There will be a lot of hearts breaking when fans see them a last time, but i would not wanna see them like the Stones. It will be wise. But man........U2 will be there in my life even if they stop.
  7. Definitely
  8. this topic is getting really depressive now.....
  9. They did Glastonbury in the middle of the US 2011 tour so I don't see the logic behind that

    I don't see them headlining any "minor" festival.
