New TOUR [All rumours / news here]

Yes. That's why I haven't bought any of the singles off NLOTH. No GOBY, no Magnificent, no I'll Go Crazy. I'm coherent with my ideas, you shouldn't worry about that

But that doesn't imply that I must be OK with the fact itself. I am not OK with it.

When I look back and I see singles like Stay (with I've Got You Under My Skin, Slow Dancing, Bullet The Blue Sky-live and Love Is Blindness-live as B-sides... and yet another version of the single with two remixes of Lemon), or like EBTTRT (with 3 or 4 remixes of th track itself, plus Where Did It All Go Wrong? and Salome as b-sides), or like One (with Lady WTSH, Satellite Of Love and Nighat And Day as b-sides), or like PopHeart, or like Walk On (with Beautiful Day live and remixed, Big Girls Are Best and New York live as b-sides, and yet another version with Stay, Streets and Gone as b-sides), or like.............. (the list goes on and on)........... it makes me sad


I complain not because I like; it's because I want them to make things better, that's all.

Originally posted by vanquish:Anyone else think that the fact Eno is producing Coldplay's new album due out this year is not good news - for U2 anyway.

I can't see a Songs of Ascent 'meditative' album being done without Eno involved.
So does that definitively rule out a 2010 release for SOA?

Originally posted by NLOTH_Victor:I think that U2 worries too much about the fans they dont have and casual fans and not so much about the ones who dig them a lot (like us) and recently the´ve lost manyof these fans (like my uncle).

The site is terrible, they should make it simpler, more direct. Put up more things, after each show put up a video of the highlight, release a free live song for download, put pix. Make it more organized (I find it a mess).

As for singles, I do miss B-sides like Always and Levitate and Lady with the Spinning Head. I also miss live versions, even if it´s with that raspy voice or that one little note off.

This "lets please all generations thing" is also bad for their confidence and live shows. I just wish they released their songs well finished and produced (not over), with nice work around it (good merchandising, nice artwork) and when they think it´s done release it and o on a tour with a nice stage. U2 360 s way too much. I don´t know... my thoughts

I love them though hauhau

Brian Eno isn't the atmospheric and ethereal producer and musician that he was on the 70s and 80s... anymore.

Have you heard Life in Technicolor ii, Lost or Lovers in Japan?
If that isn't ridiculously lush, atmospheric production I don't know what is.

Have you heard Promenade, The Unforgettable Fire, Bad? You should give them a try to experience a really atmospheric production

Eno also produced Viva La Vida and NLOTH..so what's the point?

Originally posted by vanquish:But they came out in different years, SOA and CPs new album are but scheduled for late 10.
Also Eno is curating the Vienna Biennale or something

For another album, they should get someone else in to produce like Jack Douglas.
