Lol is this the Blue Room stunt gone viral? Live it!

 

[mama cass]

tsk old news gman really

 

[BVS]

Blue Room, just tell us where they came from and put us out of our misery...

 

[corianderstem]

Yep. I've spent much of my day* expressing my annoyance with eye rolls and heavy sighs all over Facebook.




*total exaggeration. It was like 5 minutes.

What is the blue room stunt? These sound like soundchecks to me?

 

[corianderstem]

He just kind of dropped them into another thread with no context, and now it's all over the web in a "IS THIS NEW U2?????" frenzy.

For those of us who don't spend a ton of time in EYKIW, what's the story here? That's pretty clearly Bono...but these are incredibly clear...

In this thread: http://www.u2interference.com/forums/f196/rumor-55-unfinished-songs-213930-4.html in which much ing was going on, user Blue Room posted 2 "samples" of "working" titles from a "demo disc".

After everyone (including the entire U2 fandom related internet) had a minor freak out Blue Room came back to say sorry, just kidding, it IS U2 but I didn't say it was for a new U2 album, and removed the links. (But they had already gone worldwide)

Blue Room has offered no further explanation much to Interference's dismay.


However one person suggested that it was an IEM, which prompted me to post this IEM from a rehearsal in Anaheim last year, which DOES contain something new as far as we know.

You can hear the unknown song at around 24:40, Bono singing starts around 25ish and drums come in around 27:20.

listening to these bare bones of songs in the creative process (especially BC's soundcheck link), not knowing what they are, listening to them experimenting, playing around with repetitive phrases and sounds, makes me feel like i'm eavesdropping on some special kind of madness, it's nice

They don't seem the same songs we have heard yesterday...

 

[bonocomet]

No one is saying they are. It's just a sample of unidentified music.

 

[Sergiodino]

That new song from the IEM sounds a lot like a f*cking Salome Outtake :S

 

[bonocomet]

Yeah it did have an Achtung outtakes vibe to it. Cool that they were working on it in a recent rehearsal.

 

[topplehatU2]

Hmmm should we start the hype machine?

Judging from these clips they sound like the best things ever.

 

[Von Schloopen]

They're so unformed that hearing them is rather pointless. They're certainly not demos. It's cool to have them, but what these'll become is impossible to predict.
