Soe missed the cut off point to get nominated didn't it?

They aren't nominated for any Brit awards but wonder if they will perform there aswell

Love Is Bigger Than Anything In Its Way

And/Or

The Little Things That Give You Away
 
Isn’t Kendrick Lamar going to be there, too? So you know what’s going to happen: GOOYOW / AS, complete with bullhorn and Kendrick saying his lines in person. Turn the politics and the preachiness up to 11! :barf:
 
Might be cool if they did Get Out, Kendrick transition, then a mash-up of American Soul/XXX, so there's more Kendrick than just his spoken interlude.

They did for the album, but I think You're The Best Thing... made the cut off to be nominated, but unfortunately failed to receive enough votes.

I hope the performance does well and generates some more interest in the album and its songs. U2 has won 22 grammy awards, but have not won any awards over the past 12 years.
 
Is the get on your boots performance the last time they were at the grammys?
 
according to the Billboard article Kendrick will open the show.

I read that also Gaga will be performing... maybe we'll get Summer of Love :wink:


this other article here says "there will be a special performance by 22-time GRAMMY winners U2."

I think they've worn out Get Out... as far as live performances. They did American Soul for SNL.

Maybe Little Things? But they did that on Kimmel last year.

If U2 were smart they'll do 'Lights Of Home'. Orchestra and Choir!!
 
I'd love it if they did something that's not American Soul or Get Out. However, I am not holding my breath.

Exactly this! Like he does sometimes when Edge has a guitar solo, only more obnoxious!
 
This is a song I wrote for kendrick lamar, I'm stealing it back
 
I think it'd be the most U2 thing ever for them to perform Get Out or American Soul, and Bono uses the megaphone for Kendrick's part and he doesn't perform with the band at all. Cause that would make the least amount of sense, and therefore feels the most likely.

Atu2 on twitter says that U2 is going to play "on a barge in the Hudson River during the telecast." :hmm:

So....Gloria?:lol:

In all seriousness, I'd say it goes like this:

60% chance- Get out of your own way into American soul with Kendrick Lamar.

40% chance- Love is bigger or the Blackout.

Love is bigger because it would work and is different from Best thing, Get out of your own way and American soul, which they've been leaning on.

Blackout because they seem to be keen on promoting it recently. (Europe promo video, radio stations talking about getting it).
