    Although I agree with you, I probably would have worded it a little more sophisticated than that.

    nice...

    Anyway, I could see some of them being fake. But for the newest one (Jam with Dallas), you can hear Bono singing, and in the end I think that's The Edge talking to Dallas? ...
  3. "Invisible is not, U2's frontman notes, the first official single from the group's long-awaited new album, expected later this year. "We have another song we're excited about to kick off the album," he says. "This is just sort of a sneak preview — to remind people we exist."

    Yes, but it can easily have been taken from an IEM recording of a soundcheck. I can't tell for certain since I only listen to very specific tracks/jams on soundchecks, but I'm sure someone can tell.
  6. The songs being readied for U2's new album draw inspiration from the more recent past. "We went back to the reason we wanted to be a band in the first place. We started listening to music from the late '70s, remembering our early trips to London," he says. "I remember being with Ali, my girlfriend at the time — now my wife — feeling incredibly uncool in the middle of this punk-rock explosion."

    Not that the album will be a nostalgia trip. "There are some very different moods, and some extraordinary guitar stuff out of Edge," with modern-rock and R&B savant Danger Mouse producing "most of" the album — though the group "might experiment with some new people" in the final stages, Bono says.


    U2's upcoming album — which, incidentally, still doesn't have a release date.

    "We've been at it for a while now," Bono admits, his tone becoming lighter again, and self-effacing. "In this band, a song isn't finished until it's being sold online, or in the shops. And even then, Edge might try to remix it."

  7. Back to the music that wanted us to be in a bla bla yadda yadda.


    I'm more interested in this piece:


    You'll likely be able to catch U2 at bigger venues, though not necessarily stadiums. "I'd like to play indoors again. Some of the best nights of my life have been at (New York's) Madison Square Garden. Venues that size are in a lot of cities. I think it might be nice."

    Bono quips, "I always know that we're getting close to touring time when the missus asks me when we're going out again. I think, should I read something from this question? 'No, not at all — you're great at home.'"


    He still says they'd like to play arenas. Let's hope they eventually do it.
  8. I'm a little disappointed by all this news about the album but I can't help but also think that they are playing us?
  9. I wish they were... I doubt they are.
