  1. 3-4 years break and then Songs of Ascent without tour. Then the end of the last of the rockstars.
  2. Originally posted by Blue_Room:I fully expect a significant break when this tour ends. We will hear the inevitable they are breaking up rumors as well once the tour is over. It will probably be the normal 3-4 year cycle that they were on prior to Innoncence, JT 17 and Experience. By U2 standards the last 3 years have been extremely productive and busy. Definately unusual for them. It will be back to their normal pace.
    Most likely indeed...let's enjoy it while we can

    Agreed. This has been a frantic pace for them...
  5. I don’t see a 5 year GAP. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see a new album within next two years (Songs of Ascent or Man) then a final World Tour.

    Band reaching 60 and with Bono’s health issues don’t see them lasting much longer. A 5 year silence from the band would not make much sense.
  6. I think this is it for them - Bono has given letters to his children and wrote songs for a better world in SOE. Nothing left to do, prove or say I'm my opinion.

    yeah......I think they will not be like the Stones indeed.
    But well deserved if they say that's it.
  8. They deserve a break, let's enjoy it this year. We'll see what's coming to us. But Edge said also: "There's lots of ideas for the next records" So that explains something too. Sure there will be a new tour after, with JT songs I hope. But a very interesting story.
  10. I think everything the band have said since the release of SOE points to them not being finished. I know we can’t always take the band’s word for things but I would say there is absolutely no doubt in my mind we haven’t heard there last album or tour. Looking at the last few years though it really has me thinking about the band I love. They’ve released an album in SOI that for me came close to challenging there big two albums. An album full of only good or great songs. Then SOE providing a similar level of quality perhaps falling a little short of its predecessor but still exceeding expectation. A song in love is bigger than anything in its way that was to me the song I needed and wanted from them. I’ll never forget listening in live with Rob on Facebook and having already enjoyed 11 tracks just being completely mesmorised by this song. It still has the same effect on me now. Anyway I feel like the last 2 albums have only strengthened my love for u2.
  11. I'd be fine if they did a quiet release of Songs of Ascent without a tour.
