    you're so cruel!
  2. And for a TV special:

    Bono on Gangs
  4. "What you hope the new album won't be"

    Crap.
  6. U2 fooled ya: No album on the horizon
  8. Oh yessss want one?
  10. Can you guys please get back on-topic?! I just had to close the "news on the new U2 album" topic for the same reason. Thanks.
  11. I hope the new album won't be:

    A surprise. I'm sick of innovation, I want something that sounds EXACTLY like everything else you've ever done so I have a hard time wondering if these aren't just old b-sides (Nickelback anyone?).

    Short titled. I want another album title that is so long to read that the album is over by the time I've finished it.

    Rock. Drop the guitars boys, you're not fooling anyone. We know where you're passion truly lies: Trance-Arabic Fusion! Eat your heart out Macphisto...

    Everything Bono says it will be. Because then it can actually exist. See U2 Philosophy 101, Section2a, Page 113: "Ignoreth the pre-album exaggeration of the one calleth Bono" (I have no idea why Philosophy books are written like the Bible in my head).

    A reason for the band to change their image. Skullcap? Check. Colored sunglasses? Smiling bassist? Unsmiling drummer? Check. It ain't broke, don't fix it.

    Full of guitar solos. Seriously, we're TIRED of guitar solos. We're bored of intricate song crossovers. We want more political speeches!! Have you heard the end solo for Kite at the Vertigo Tour? They ruined the song! What SHOULD have happened is all the music stopping abruptly except for Larry drumming away while Bono reades out the declaration of independence forward AND backward. What a killer song that would have been!

    Giving Adam Clayton confidence that he's contributing to the band. Adam, seriously. With or Without You? Vertigo? Mysterious Ways? If we wanted complicated, well-designed rhythym sections we would listen to.....uh........ok, no one wants complicated, well-designed rhythym sections. Just thumb and smile, thumb and smile, and try to look like you're lucky to be there like every other bassist in the world. Atleast until they can find that replacement they've been looking for since...Boy.

    Exclusive to U2. I want to see collaborations. Kanye West Remixes, more covers by this Nathaniel guy, a duet with Lily Allen, a dream-team combo with Micheal Jackson at the Grammy's. I'm talking American Idol, apple AND microsoft commercials, the works.

    Good. We all know that bands that get older get worse. It's a mathematical formula proven by professors Lars Ulrich and the studies from the California New Kids on the Block Institute. Stop making good music so when U2 haters say 'they suck cuz they're old' you're fans don't have to go through the trouble of sticking up for you!

    Finally, Van Diemen's Land (the Jacknife Lee Remix)? I want this. I want this. RIGHT. NOW.
