i think there will most certainly be remixes, there always are. especially as of late. and if what we are hearing is true, this album seems very prone to being remixed and used by DJs etc....hmm what other album was that?

Yes I know that, but what I meant is we dont know if its even true that Will I am will produce somethin,its not official is it?
You guys, can try to put me in the corner for this lol, im stubborn so it can be a looong conversation meanwhile haha

ok very true. I mean it seems like reliable information, but you're right...

It might be, im not saying it isnt
All im saying is, that im doubtful over to what he wud do for U2
But a pleasant surprise, and me being proven wrong in this case would be nice
In terms of the music
I never said he would turn U2 into hip hop
Like everyone seems to think here
I said im conservative lol
I got the right to be that at least dont I?

There were just some suggestions, it seems like you feel attacked while no-one attacks you mate. Don't be paranoid lol. We're just discussing a hip-hop producer who might produce a bit of U2-stuff, so the general idea that U2 is eavesdropping on Hip-hop is just a normal conclusion.

I dont feel attacked, it just seems im the only one conservative in this lol
I still think this is somethin that will divide U2 fans onto two sides
Coz I cant exactly imagine the older generation of U2 fans jump of joy, if this turns out to be true lol
Will.I.Am is a really good rap/hip hop producer, but I doubt he'll have much success with U2
Meaning his good at what his doin, but taking on a rock band?
I dunno really, thats where I stand in all this
And I know im not the only one either, I might be on here but thats another story lol

I'm not positive either (I'd rather see Eno/Lanois), but U2 still is a rockband and will be a rockband in the future. That's exactly what Yeah pointed out earlier...a hip-hop producer doesn't make U2 hip-hop artists. And I know you never said such a thing, but you did say you are afraid it would divide U2-fans in two. Why?

The transition from Boy/October/War tot TUF was also a big step, from Lillywhite to Eno/Lanois...did it divide the fans back then?

You might be conservative, but you're still a U2-fan after TUF, AB and Pop, all innovative albums in their time. So why would a new album slightly produced by a hip-hop artist divide fans?
