  1. Thats what happends if your leadsinger is a person who only cares for the spotlights and want to be relevant.....

    Im really afraid that the next album will be some kind of Coldplay album (And than I talk about the last albums of Coldplay and not Parachutes or A Rush)
  2. Larry saves the day! <3
  3. Larry Mullen jr

    One of our soundman has been working with Adams bass tech the past few days on a project, and is been told that larry is causing trouble, aparently U2 are using lady gaga's producer on some new stuff in edge's house and is heading towards a dance album or maybe too poppy album, so far they have throwing out a lot of ideas that larry hates. (please don't shoot me i am only the messenger)

    if true Larry
    though i really hope it's not true the whole thing .. lady gaga dance poppy


    Sorry but I think I would be very interested in this. Also keep in mind that Redone produced the version of North Star that we heard in Transformers and that sounds nothing like what he has done with Gaga

    Yep, you're right. While Gaga's music (like it or not) sounds fresh and up-to-the-minute, that North Star sounded like a bad ATYCLB b-side.
  6. if Butch Vig (or Jack Endino) produces Bieber i don't expect him sounding like Nirvana, of course .. but a producer gives a precise direction sorry
    the worst things are those 2 words "dance" "poppy" though
    it's not said that it's true and if so i trust Larry moving his sticks all around
  7. (i saw a thunderbolt falling right next to me far having put Nirvana and Bieber in the same sentence ... same thing shoud happen when U2 is put next to some names hehe)
  8. U2 (as a whole, anyway) need to settle/calm down. I have a lot more respect for musicians like Dylan and Springsteen (even though I don't listen to a lot of their music) than I do The Stones in the way that they and their music aged gracefully.
  9. Plus there is the whole Nora Jones/Danger Mouse comment so I sort of feel like this isn't true. Though again, I feel like U2's sound and lyrical themes mixed with current dance music could be very good. I keep thinking they would make something like Levitate.

    I think it is very cool that they want to try and remain fresh and current and relevant. If Madonna can attempt it and be successful then why can't. U2 give it a try?

    In the end I don't care which direction they go as I am sure I will enjoy it. They just need to make sure they have their hearts in it and that it is good.
  11. Arcade Fire criticize U2's marketing style

    Butler basically sounds stupid here. It's not the strategy of the band, it's the band's management adapting to what the world is perceiving the band as.

    U2 didn't go out and make themselves the biggest band in the world- the world decided that they were the biggest and the best in the late 80's and early 90's. U2 didn't go out there and say "alright, here's how we're gonna approach this- fuck everyone else who doesn't want to be the best". Thats stupid, to think that. Oasis & The Rolling Stones were the same way. They had to treat their careers that way eventually because they just WERE the best at what they were doing. So....sorry, Win? I don't know what you're getting at.

    Arcade Fire is hitting that point where they're becoming one of the bigger bands on the radar, and they've worked extra hard for it. I just think Win is looking at this with a totally pigeon-holed perspective, and in 10 or 15 years, he'll be singing a much different tune.

    Does anyone here truly care about relevancy and current trends though? Madonna's just been chasing the same crap and failing miserably since 1998 with Ray Of Light, then it's been downhill from there (save for the mid-2000s album).

    If they can make dance music that sounds good but not current, I'll be all for it.
