  1. Pop (Fish Out Of Water remix)


  2. Me too

    I've often thought about this, but do you guys think U2 will know and tell us when their last album is released? Or do you think it will be a sort of in between tours thing where they just say "that was it" and they just postpone making a new album indefinitely? I have a hard time imagining a moment when Bono says "this is our last concert". I feel like it's not in U2 to retire like that, but with all the talk about "as long as we're relevant", that might not be too far off.

    I agree with you. I think if this album doesn't have more success than NLOTH then it will be their last. I also think they'll just say "that was our last album" after it's been released and they toured instead of before hand.
  5. There's no reason, once they stop the big-scale world tours, to stop recording new music or releasing archived stuff like they did with Unreleased And Rare.

    U2 are such a well-known group that if they went entirely independent (why they don't have U2 Records or something is amazing after all these years), that they might go with what they like the sound of. If other bands in their 60s can still be releasing new albums, U2 could as well.

    Maybe the record label itself has heard some experimental stuff and didn't like it, so told them to go back to the start and record some pop rock instead that the masses will love. How much of the masses loved Crazy Tonight (crap), Magnificent (crap) and Get On Your Boots (awesome)?
  6. maybe they should have a trip to Korea ..

    and at this point of their career they still let the label meddle with their work?
    sad

  8. That's the most worrying part, although if they want it promoted properly by the record company I'd say this is what they have to do.

    Sad indeed.
  9. good point .. still i think that with all the mangement and similar (often awful things for artists) they have behind there could be a good promotion as well ... if only they wanted ..

    Indeed. Management usually ruins what could be great promotion for an artist or band's greatest output in a long time (or for the first time). I can only think of many a time when an album deserves to be seriously promoted and the efforts on that front are limp.

    But then again I've seen amazing promotions for both sub-par and efforts of excellence.
  12. Anybody know where I can find any pics of bono lookalikes trying to show a friend that there are some not the same but close if your not a huge fan you wouldnt know.
