Yep, but where are the boys now?

Someone posted that they'd talked to Stuart (Adam's tech) and he'd confirmed they'd booked studio time in Vancouver post the tour. I'm not surprised they're having a break first though. Bono just can't thrash his voice the way he used to without consequences.

I agree they're overthinking things and in more than just their music. I really think they need to take a step back, maybe throw back a whiskey or five and relax. They're a better band when they pull the sticks out of their collective behinds and just loosen up. Expectations are hard on the creative process and it seems to me like they're finding the expectations of fans and the music business a burden and a barrier to being as brilliant as we know they can be.

Sounds to me like they're too worried about what their music will sound like. Maybe, just maybe, they shouldn't care and just toss out whatever into the public. Big deal if you piss off the fans. Achtung Baby did that, and look how great it is. The key to it is being misunderstood, sort of. If people can't figure you out, you have an awesome power in your hands.

Oh for sure..Bob Marley made his best music after smoking tons of weed and The Doors wouldn't have been that succesfull if they had not been using drugs. A shame it killed Jim Morrison though.

Hush now, I'm talking use, not abuse.

Still a fact though although I'd rather see Bono with their recent work than some drugs-inspired album which means the start of the end.
Originally posted by sonia_lastrega:[..]
I don't think anyone's advocating that. I know I certainly wasn't.

I know, I just went a bit off-topic. Let's continue with SOA

Good call.
So...SOA - actually going to hit the shelves ever, or due to disappear into legend?

Rolling Stone magazine's Brian Hiatt posted on Twitter last night after a phone interview with Edge. On the bright side, Hiatt posted that Edge says "Kingdom Of Your Love" -- the U2 360 tour intro song -- is a "potential Songs of Ascent track." On the not-so-bright side, Hiatt also posted that "Songs of Ascent remains an idea more than an actual album at this point, a subject of debate within the band. No release plans yet."
You can find this and all of our other Songs of Ascent updates in the U2's new album page here on @U2.
Jesus... They just can't do anything straightforward anymore can they?
It's like everything has to be this superpolished clusterfuck that's going to take them years to complete.
