Bono to perform at concert this friday!

[mikal]

Hmm, maybe Bono and Wyclef will polish up "New Day" with some reworked lyrics for Haiti?

"Midnight... Port-Au-Prince streets
She can't sleep cos' she's afraid to dream
Ten years old, my Haitian rose
You've seen things you never should have seen"

i don't know if it's possible to vomit and laugh at the same time, but we may find out if this goes down.

 

[Andreianloth]

B singing Bye,Bye,Bye
btw,I still prefer that he sing with Justin "Pop"...does anyone here remember that clip???
LMAO

[RedRocksU2]

This just in!



Bono will be doing Pants On The Ground!!!!!

 

[ramblin rose]

[RedRocksU2]

I'm not kidding. True story.

 

[shaun vox]

With the gold in your mouth,Hat turned sideways,Pants hit the ground
Call yourself a cool cat,Lookin’ like a fool
Walkin’ downtown with your pants on the ground
Get it up, hey!
Get your pants off the ground

So, according to this article, Edge will be at the telethon as well. I really hope it's the entire band.

 

[lauramullen]

The telethon is going to be in New York. Not exactly sure where.

Shaun Vox makes his reappearance on the forum with Pants On the Ground! I love it.

I can't wait to see what a tizzy this forum goes into when/if

1: this Haiti song isn't that good
2: he duets One with somebody
3: he "sells out" by performing with somebody else even for charity.


how did T.O. say it a few years back? getcha popcorn ready.

I'm not really expecting it to be "good." It'll need to appeal to as many people as possible, so I'm sure it'll be bland and pop-ish/adult contemporary.

I don't think people have (or should not have) high expectations for these types of charity or pride songs. We are the World, America's song, Do They Know It's Christmas are par for the course in this category.

 

[popacrobat]

which is exactly my point.

Exactly. That's what I meant - generic, with a wide appeal.

 

[phommel]

But remember what they did for charity after 9/11 concert for heroes.

This 'Peace on earth'/'Walk On-hallelujah' performance was AMAZING.

The same for that Omagh Tribute, when they performed 'North and South'

Ok, all songs they already had, but they were amazing performances!

 

[Addicted To Bad]

Just to say: to your avi, Shaun..






Ok..back to the topic

 

[Tim Wallach]

I'm secretly hoping their song blows away the crowd and gets great reviews if for nothing else than to prove to them that they can write and record good material quickly and have it go over well instead of making us wait years on end all the time.

 

[U2girl]

So Bono, Edge and Justin together ?

I don't think that a charity project necessarily needs good reviews.

 

[ramblin rose]

I interpreted his comment differently.

 

[mikal]

do we know for sure that they're playing the new song?

yeah, i also interpreted Tim's comment differently, last unicorn.

 

[zoocarolina]

New song or not, great to have a performance and someone please ask them, where is SOA and the news, it's getting to be late Jan and I'm getting nervous!!! You'd have to have pre-hype in Feb. wouldn't you, cmon guys!!!!!

if you follow the pattern of news from when NLOTH was released, there's a chance we won't have any concrete news for another 2 months.....if the album comes out in June (or at all). NLOTH was released at the end of February/early March, and it wasn't until Xmas 2008 that Q Magazine first gave us song titles.

 

[U2girl]

It would be a big surprise if they would not play the new song written especially for Haiti.

i think it all depends on the atmosphere of the gig. if it's every artist playing their greatest hits to keep viewers watching (the more viewers, the more donations), then i could see U2 playing "One" or "Pride" or something like that.

 

[Jeannieco]

I don't care what they sing, but I bet it's Walk On and/or the new song for Haiti.

I love that they will be there, even if they don't sing...supporting this event....

 

[U2girl]

Viewers may stop watching just for seeing Bono's face for the umpeenth time

Perhaps a combination of the new song and One ?

yeah, i'd be more than happy with that combination.

 

[ComaGirl]

anyone know if they're gonna be showing this in the UK at all?
