  1. DRM is dead in the water. Two of the biggest digital retailers dumped it and CDs haven't ever had it - unless you count those Sony CDs.

    Yeah, I know. But I wouldn't put it past them to think they've got some you-beaut new tech that's basically DRM in a dress.
  3. Does anybody know some songs titles from the sessions of No Line On The Horizon? I know there was a topic where were a lot of songs from every sessions but I can't find it.
  6. Anyone seen this? It's from Rolling Stone.com:

    On Future Plans

    The Edge: We're sort of spoiled for choice right now, because there's a bunch of amazing pieces that we didn't finish from the work we did in Fez, and there's the songs we started with Rick Rubin, some of which are amazing songs that I'd love to get back to at some point. Bono and I also have this Spider-Man [musical] project, which we're very happy about. So there are a lot of things on the stove, and they're all very exciting.

    Now that this tour is kind of up and running, I'm really looking forward to getting into those projects, doing some listening back, seeing where they're all at, seeing which one is probably set to go first. The one thing is we'd love to follow this album up sooner rather than later — I don't think we'll have over three years or whatever it was between the last two records. It's hard to say [about a U2 Spider-Man album]. There will be a Spider-Man album, but whether it's us or the cast, that's the sort of thing we're not sure about. There are some amazing tunes.

    Larry Mullen: I definitely think we should do something good as soon as we possibly can, as opposed to quickly. I'm feeling that it's the unfinished songs from this record that we should be concentrating on. I think there's a part two of this record. That would be my instinct, would be to complete this. I think there is slower, meditative stuff on there, but I think there are other things, as well, and I don't think it will end up being that kind of record. I think it will end up being a mixture of a few different things. I would like to think that we would have a song that would end up on the radio.

    Rolling Stone: Did you reconvene with Brian Eno to do any recording?

    Larry Mullen: We've talked about it, and how we would do it. I think he went into the studio to have a listen to some things. We will get back together with him.

    RS: Over the break between this year and next?

    Larry Mullen: Absolutely, yeah. I'd also like to get back to the [Rick Rubin] sessions. I think there's some really good stuff there.

    Bono: We certainly don't want to go away for a few years. [The next] album is called Songs of Ascent, and it's a very clear idea. If we're going to do another rock record, I want to do Spider-Man. I just haven't talked Adam and Larry into that.

    I would like to have one of our songs on the pop charts. It's my only disappointment [with No Line on the Horizon] People love, love the album it's had rave reviews, not just in the U.S., but all over the world. But I would like a few pop songs on it. So I would like, even on Songs of Ascent, songs that have a shot at that. I would like to come back with a new single in the spring — "Every Breaking Wave" was Jimmy Iovine's favorite song, and lots of people got upset when we took that off.

    Like I said, not sure if everyone has read this but I thought it was fairly noteworthy.
  7. lets hope Kingdom is on it.
  9. I really like their pop rock stuff and I also love their experimental stuff, but in my opinion now is the time for stuff like Fez - being born... In my opinion they shouldn´t try to please the whole world... they should please themselves and the real fans..... occasionally they would please a whole lot of other people...


  10. Everyone's positive about it, wouldnt know why not.
    I mean: there's a reason why it opens their tour...
  11. Like the idea of a spiderman album
  12. Will the Rick Rubin stuff be just another Bomb?
    Except harder and even more stripped down?

    I think they want to do the Rubin album to get chart hitting singles.
