1. California report: LA Friends reporting lots of sightings of the guys in Malibu on and off since Jan. Since Edge lives there most of the year and much of SOI was recorded at Rick Rubin's Shangri-La studio there, no surprises. However, a recent uptick in activity has been noted, or at least speculated on. The Apple thing was never going to happen -- it was the WWDC (developers conference) and NOT a warm room for Bono/U2. Reznor was there, in the crowd, but no surprise as he has worked for Apple last 2+ years.

    I do have a theory, and I know it's been discussed a million times but now seems sightly more plausible given semi-reliable chatter of late: they will drop something (single or entire album) sometime in Sept, my guess would be 24/25 -- the 40th anniversary. Of course speculating on U2 timing of anything is, as we all know, not the most productive pastime. They do love a good trolling of their fans, but they also love to bring the drama.

    Love and Peace to you all. I'm really Hurting from Orlando and the insanity in the US rhetoric today, and the assassination of Jo Cox. Grateful to U2/Bono for reawakening my activism and hope again. We really, truly must stand, and take monumental peaceful action to make the world a better place. As One.

    Pretty much what everyone knows thanks to Instagram
  3. xD Pretty much, although I did leave out the bit where The Edge is, allegedly "on fire"
  4. Yeah Edge and Adam should currently be in California at least right?

    Let's hope they spend some time recording
  5. I live right by Malibu. Want me to pop down and ask how things are going?
  6. Yes ! Oh....eh....and tell the Edge that the cool distorded sound that was leaked is awesome, and less is more!

    Still hoping for Edge's sick solo album, Just The Edge.

    Thanks for the nice update, and for the love and peace wishes! (They are much needed - such terrible news. I hope the UK won't leave the EU. It is time to stand together to meet global challenges. With all its limits, the EU is a practical expression of this idea.)

    Hopefully we'll hear some new U2 music soon, although I'm not holding my breath. September would be great!

    I like your theory. Let's go with it until we hear otherwise. Late September releases, spring 2017 tour!
