    This silence is deafening.


    Bono: " We are restless folk. Aren't we The Edge?"

  4. Confirmed: U2 Pasadena DVD Coming Soon
    Share
    Today at 1:59am

    Look for U2 to make an announcement soon that a DVD of last year's U2 360 concert in Pasadena is on the way. There's a web page setup now at livedvd.u2.com with this message:

    U2 will release a DVD of the Pasadena Rose Bowl concert in 2010. The band are still working on the exact content of the DVD, but if you register here you can be the first to hear about an exclusive format.

    And below that is a form for your name, email address, and country. There's no indication of the exact date that the DVD will be released, but there are recent rumors suggesting a late May release (just in time for the North American tour to resume). In case that URL above disappears now that we've reported it, here's a screenshot of the image. (Thx to Lance and David for help with this news.)

    Anyone get the feeling that the site they link to is not really affiliated with U2.com? I mean you would think that there would be some linkage to the main page of the site or something?

    I got it for the first seconds... I thought "And what if this web is a fake web designed by Liam Gallagher, in order to get thousands of mails of U2 fans, and spam them until death???"... ... . .. .. . .. but then I thought, well, I don't mind, I already have Liam Gallager on my spam blocked list.
  7. Not a "sighting" per se, but interesting none-the-less....

    Posted Thu Mar 25, 2010 12:08pm PDT by Joe Lynch in Stop The Presses!

    Pop icons Bono and Prince may share an unerring gift for crafting hits, but when it comes to keeping that money through financial savvy, it seems they still haven't found what they're looking for.

    While U2's frontman is celebrated for his charitable work in Africa and bipartisan approach to political issues, the Irish singer is actually "the worst investor in America" according to the online publication, 24/7 Wall Street.

    Bono is one of five members of Elevation Partners' investment team, which 24/7 Wall Street claims has made "an unprecedented string of disastrous investments which even bad luck could not explain."

    The U2 singer's firm has invested huge amounts of money into Palm smartphones, Forbes magazine, and Move.com, all of which are currently struggling. Elevation's largest investment is also its most disastrous: Bono's firm put $460 million into Palm, the company that unsuccessfully tried to carve a piece of the smartphone market away from Apple, RIM, and other more popular mobile handset-makers. Last September, Palm's shares sold for $18, but when the company released its most recent earnings figures, shares plummeted to $3.65.

    Prince's financial woes are of another kind-he's not so much losing money as he is failing to pay it. The Purple One owes more than $227,000 in taxes to his home state of Minnesota for his PRN Music Corporation, which is located in his famous Paisley Park complex near Minneapolis.

    The majority of that amount was due back in 2009, with an extra $27,000 thrown on as a penalty for delinquency.

    If that isn't enough, the county's taxpayer services manager estimates that with all his property combined, the R&B mastermind owes about $450,000 in taxes. If Prince doesn't rustle up the cash before April 21 or file a written objection, he could face forfeiture on those properties, some of which he's owned since the '80s.

    If there are any doves nesting in Paisley Park, it seems we may finally learn what it sounds like when they cry.
  8. I saw on @U2's RSS feed that the official title of the dvd is "U2 360 at the Rose Bowl" and an announcement is coming Monday
  10. Adam in Nairobi



    B in Mozambique



  11. I stopped reading after the "Carla, you're a storyteller" part. I still have a lot of admiration for the guy, but Bono really should go out of his "everyone is wonderful" world.




  12. They should make a duet with her, I was surprised when I discovered how beautiful does she sing.
