    And he's probably rather be on interference than here.


    I don't know - think of the praise arising for the recent developments...

    Mostly exaggerated given we all thought we would get the Rose Bowl setlist for the new tour.
  2. I bet none of the ever look on sites like these , would be so cool thogh


  3. And WHERE are the beach clips?

    He had enough time to hear the CD go on replay and still didn't think of making a recording.

    Someone should get the interferencers to camp at Eze with recording equipment.
  4. With good recording equipment!

For them to do something they have to lose Brian Eno, doesnt matter how good he's been, he's now better suitable for Coldplay. Bring in Flood


    Dieder, you took the thoughts right outta my head.

    Did you hear the new 30 Seconds to Mars album?

    That energy is still in U2, and considering how much we adore POP, we need him back.

    (...and in the masters chair.)
  6. U2 spills some beans about this Friday's tour opener -- and also talks about future album plans -- in an interview published Thursday by the Italian newspaper La Stampa. It's on the paper's web site and U2place.com tipped us off to it.

    On the subject of new album plans, Bono says -- and we're using the Google translation here -- that U2 currently has four projects going on:

    "an ambient album, Songs of Ascent"
    "a rock album"
    a "club music" album
    "the soundtrack of Spiderman, the musical debuting on Broadway in November"
    The band gives no other details about any of those projects. But they do reveal some of their plans for Friday night's U2 360 tour opener. Bono says the band will play "at least three new songs," and he confirms that one of them is the song U2 wrote especially for their planned Glastonbury appearance. He says they worked on that song last year during the week that the band was finishing the tour in Vancouver, performing in New York at the Rock Hall's 30th Anniversary concert, and performing with Jay-Z at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Berlin.

    One last note: Regarding his health, Bono says "every hour that passes I feel better." (But admits that he's started smoking again.)

  7. Bono... not mentioned but also in the interview: we have 25 songs ready

  8. Either that last bit isn't true, or Bono's gone bonkers. I hope to god it's not true, if by the time the tour reaches montreal next year he sounds like popmart Bono, I'll be very upset.

    Heard some of it, but it's not really my music. Can see what you mean though. U2 is still the most powerfull band in my opinion, but then they have to listen to their heart and don't want to produce hits. Pop and Zooropa (also Achtung Baby) are great because they wanted to make some experimental stuff. I'd say No Line is a good starting point, but ditch Eno (not Lanois), bring in Flood, maybe also a bit of Rubin and Lillywhite and let's see what comes out of it.
  11. We are living
    a period of exceptional creativity,
    we are working on three
    indeed four projects simultaneously


    Another song writing gold mine...

    Martin of Coldplay said:
    I heard that you have three projects
    at stake, why not take
    the best from all three and put them on
    disc at once? Could be
    a good idea but it will not happen
