  1. I think there is something in the story to be honest. If they ever do release the album it will be their last, and if they tour again, that too will be their last. Larry is the boss, and I think the classic split reason of 'musical differences' is on his lips right now. They just seem to not be 'one' anymore.
  2. I cant see them splitting over musical differences, perhaps when they just think it has been enough

    source?
  4. Indeed, this seems pure wild speculation. We don't really know. I remember rumours that Bowie was nearly dead in the late 00's. When people don't know, especially journalists, they just make it up. Yes, they might be splitting. And they might also be about to announce a tour. We just have no clue!
  5. Im not saying the story is 100% accurate, just that there is something in it, IMO. There is no smoke without fire, as the saying goes! Maybe this is an Unforgettable Fire. I really do hope not though.
  6. Well given their recent track record, they'll announce to the press that they have "10 reasons to split" then take four years to do so.
  7. ITim, I would laugh but I know your actually being serious!!
  9. What sources? They're certainly having a hard time - I guess this much we can infer from the time it's taking to make the album. But this we already knew?

    Sources means nothing, usually. It's like me saying 'Well someone I know, can't reveal a name or where they're from, says this about you'.

    Reminds me of a place where I worked once where I was asked to stop texting on my phone due to it being during work time. Never mind I was on a break at my own work station - and the supervisor said 'Someone has complained about your use of text messaging during work'. I said 'Who said it?' and he said 'I cannot reveal that due to several factors'. My answer: 'Then your so-called request is void'.

    And...it's from the Daily Star. You'd be better off reading toilet paper advertising material.

    This is like my own thoughts from 2004 onwards with HTDAAB, hearing the 'safe' sound and thinking 'oh god they've gone so safe and catering to the mainstream, where's the experimentation and the so-called risks'. Then they come out with No Line and I was proven wrong with songs like Fez, MoS, Cedars, White As Snow, Unknown Caller, Boots and so on...

    ..just as journalists are. An album will come, what it's like nobody knows. Just hope it's worth the wait. They could announce the album next week for all we know. If you can't come up with a real story, just use tidbits from other 'sources' and you can have an article in a moment.
  11. You gotta admit though they are on the wane,Invisible isnt great,a good album track maybe,i do like Ordinary Love alot though.The last album was so-so and maybe their last chance at holding onto this "best band in the world" tag,for me it was far too gentle,some good songs just no really great ones.But hey its 2014 and U2 are pretty much dad rock now anyway,i'll always love them but their best imo is not ahead.I hope i'm wrong.
  12. A solo Bono album hahahaha...... Yeah, he sure will make time for that.

    Bullshit rumours.
