    I wonder what will happen to all the HTDAAB outtakes like Mercy, North Star & Lead Me In The Way I Should Go? Do they get 'archived'? So after they break up/retire they'll release the vast backlog of unused material?

    And anyone else think Crazy Tonight is going to be a hip hop/ rap song judging by the name/ Will.I.Am's involvement?


    If you waited ten years for an album that had 16 songs on it, and only seven were true genius, what would be your reaction?

    All of U2's songs are archived, possibly for later release on some kind of compilation, or even used in another session for ideas. Nothing is ever physically destroyed, like thrown away. Crazy Tonight sounds like something from the Pop sessions - e.g. Nosejob, Sparky's Left The Planet etc. Being a Will.i.am-produced song could mean it has heavy beats, vocal mixing, reverb etc. Anyway, working titles of other albums are a little off-topic, but it shows you the madness of some titles.
  5. come on, not billy joe,
    this is more an attempt to return to 'old school' lypton village style make up. This is more Gavin Friday style eyeliner, look at him and you can imagine how Bono is styled on stage on the coming tour...

    I've seen Q in a few obscure record stores along with Rolling Stone Magazine (US and Australia), and always wanted to grab a copy. Otherwise, your local newsagent should have a few copies to flog. Big Star Records on Rundle Street has them too, with heaps of great old U2 stuff.

    I'm sure they can backorder it too, otherwise wait 'til someone scans and uploads the pages here, if you can't find it. I'm popping out to the shop today, so I'll let you know if I find it anywhere for sale. I like the eyeliner - looks totally awesome.


    Of course you like the eyeliner...It probably reminds you of Alice Cooper!

    And you can get Q's in Australia. Might not be on the shelves in January though. Not sure of the lag time.

    It certainly does. The Constrictor era, in particular going up to Trash.

    City of Blinding Lights had been kicking around since the Pop sessions I'm led to believe. But you've gotta think that almost all of these songs are entirely new given the time they've spent jamming, recording and such and they've been on record saying they've got some 60 songs under their belt.
    I'm actually looking forward to hearing the Will.i.am collaboration.

    Wasn't that Neon Lights?
  10. Neon Lights is a cover of Kraftwerk.

    I think the eyeliner is just for this photoshoot.


  11. You're right...also about the eyeliner (I hope)


  12. maybe I'm wrong, but I think I remember reading something about cobl in u2 by u2 - that the song got inspired by a concert in the USA (madison square garden, I think?) during the elevation tour after 9/11. but yeah, maybe I'm mixing things up
