  1. Maybe he just doesn't like dealing with the media, especially when asked about stuff he can't talk about that they KNOW he can't talk about. Not to mention he was probably being interviewed about Broken Bells.

    The actual typed out interview could have just paraphrased too. It's impossible to get his actual tone out of text. Maybe he said that with a grin on his face.

  4. haha no problem Casper, just making sure that we know who's saying what. That rumours might be true or they might not - simple as that. (Let's hope they are though. Specially the August ones)
  5. Can someone find a rumour saying that the band definitely won't be in Australia this year and confirm it's true? Thanks

    Is it me or does that sound a little bit too distant for a producer? Did the band and DM not finish it yet because they have different ideas. He also could have said that it was such a nice experience or whatever...nothing of that. Maybe explains a bit that U2 said they will be finishing some of the tracks with 'new people' ...


    Wow, that sounds not only distant, but also quite harsh. Like if he was actually annoyed when asked about U2.


    I've thought long about the "producers issue" after we learnt they are finishing (or not) the album with new, different people... And I've come to the conclussion that they have worked with Brian Eno, Daniel Lanois and Steve Lillywhite too much, for too long. And now they just DON'T KNOW how to work without them anymore. Brian and Daniel (and not Paul McGuinness) have been the fifth member of the band for a long time. They've helped with the music, the lyrics, the mixing, the overal feel of the music... And I think U2 feel a bit helpless without them nowadays.

    This is what it sounds like.
    Altho there was the vague quote about DM being involed only on the "first record"...too good to be true, but it could also be an explanation
  9. It starts to sound as if they are going to shelve this material (or a part of it) as they did with the 2006-2007 Rick Rubin's sessions, and start from scratch again. Let's hope my premonition isn't right.
  10. I hope not. And it's too late for them to do that. With the Rick Rubin material they didn't release anything or start any kind of hype-making campaigns...it was just talk.
  11. I wouldn't read into that too much omg... Brian Burton has said from the beginning to not speak about the U2 album until it's actually done. I forget where that was stated but sometime during the 360 tour when they were working together.
  12. And from what I know he doesn't speak about his productions with Broken Bells or the Black Keys either until the albums out.
