1. So, bottom line from the Edge interview: Tour will end after Moncton, no new album in sight.

    Albums aren't part of the LN deal.

    damit .. Was hoping for one more show!

    just have to live wth the memoies
  3. It's just ridiculous to think that will be the last album of their career or something like that. Take it easy guys, take a nap or something.

    I'm hugely disappointed by Edge's words that there will be no album anytime soon, that was their chance to make something great. By delaying the album for another year or two, they will again get into comfort zone and that cannot be too good.

    And I can just agree that it was very easy to get tickets for European shows, except for Wien.
  4. it is easy .. work on spiderman kills all U2 album and tour plans... so I am (for the first time ever) angry to the Edge and Bono.... no 100% work for U2 band and their tour this year.... why they were talking about new album release at the end of last year then new one date of album release for May 2011 and now ... no album release at all? I think spiderman is wrong work for U2 at wrong time.

    But it has some positives, big 360 tour will end and next tour will be new, smaller, sooner... maybe early 2013


  5. + Zagreb. It seems then I only tried the hard ones.
  6. I wouldn't put too much stock in U2's contract with LiveNation. Contracts are made to be broken & if Principal and/or U2's private companies don't have a football team full of lawyers they could put to work on cutting them loose any time they're sick of touring, I'd be hugely surprised. They will tour exactly as long as suits them and no longer, IMO.
  7. Did anyone listen last Friday to the interview of that Dublin radiostation with Edge?
    Did he really say it's unlikely playing Dublin again this year?

    I didn't listen to it, but yeah, he said it. The actual quote has been posted several times in some threads over here. This is it:
    "I think we're probably gonna pack up the U2 claw after the American shows. I doubt if -- but you can never say never. But right now, if you wanted my opinion, I'd say that that will be the end."


    Oh, and user Yeah uploaded the interview, you can get it here if you fancy:

  9. Me and my friend arrived to Zagreb (the second concert) at 8 pm, legally bought our tickets (first row on grandstands behind the band) and enjoyed the show. Never in my life have I had a chance to buy tickets more easily.
  10. It's logical. If there are 80.000 people attending a show, some of them will have problems to get tickets, some will not.
