  2. quote from the article:

    "...Yeah, they love performing. You’ll be amazed and impressed by the new tour, which they’ve been working on the design and concept throughout this record project. It will blow everyone away yet again. They’re on fire..........." (unquote).


    Interesting! Thinking about design and concept of the tour during recording?? so some kind of integral concept-approach?
  3. That DOES sound interesting, I don't think they've done that before.
    Is McGuinness known to exaggerate a la Bono and punk rock from venus?

    admittedly........ the phrase "They're on fire" is not very original..... :-)
  5. Bono and McG have traditionally been the ones that exaggerate the most

    I posted that article at the McGuiness Out as U2 Manager topic. Very interesting points.

    They've often thought about tour designs etc years before the album has been done

    This is also interesting. So they are musical guests on NBC on February 17th. That would be consistent with them having released a new song earlier in February, the whole superbowl thing.

    This is a pretty big gig- the ball has to be rolling for a new album; unless it is to plug Ordinary Love?

  8. If they go on that show and plug Ordinary Love i fear for the safety of my U2 memorabilia.
  9. hahaha
  10. Today in Dublin xD
