1. Thanks Sergio and Tim! Really lovely stuff here, and things like those remember me why Bono is one of the biggest refferences of my life.
  2. Bono apparently backstage of the Late Late Show on RTE, as let slip by Liam Neeson. Hopefully will be on later on.
  3. "U2's gotta do something special to have a reason to exist." - Bono.
  4. Amen.
  5. He said they'd done something quite special in the last 3 weeks in the studio. Was very vague about the album overall. Not even an empty promise.
  6. Danger Mouse was very quiet about the album in a recent interview also.



    1:35 onwards, not sure when the interview was conducted. But he does confirm the rumour

  7. "Looking for the perfect pop song. Edge is in denial of his genius. I'm a little too sure of my own. Larry is suspicious of both and Adam sees merit in both. They're unbelievable. They really want it, though, I will say that. As a band there's no sense of entitlement. I think they're very aware that U2's gotta do something very special to have a reason to exist right now, so that's what we're doing. We're song writing -- you know the process. But it's -- they're amazing men. They really are extraordinary. They really, really want it."

    "There won't be a U2 album unless there's something really special. You just gotta go to that place. You gotta dig a deep well and see what you can pull up. We've been through many songs and there's some great stuff. I would say we had the best three weeks in the studio that we've had since, like, 1979. Three weeks is all it should take...."
  8. Of all the exaggerations we've heard from Bono thru the years (this is our best album, Edge is on fire, we've got three albums ready for release, punk rock from Venus...), I think that one if the biggest. "We had our best three weeks in the studio since, like 1979". C'mon, Bono. Put your feet on the ground for once and realize what are you saying

    LOL i was thinking this exactly, I'd LIKE to believe it, but it just sounds TOO stupid/out there.
  10. Hey, at least they're working on it. Him saying three weeks is all it should take could mean they've discovered the value in not overdoing things. Which could be good too.
  11. I don't care what he says as long as it points towards new material.
