The new songs news you've been waiting for...

[Galeongirl]

I always think this after NSW says something.

 

[Niceman]

No it doesn't. We're all very lucky to have what U2 music we have. And if we didn't feel that way, we wouldn't be posting here.

I don't feel that way. It's like U2 broke up in 2001 and we just get a relapse every once in a very great long while.

 

[popacrobat]

heh

Sadman, why are you posting in a forum for a band that's been broken up for over a decade?

Because I miss them.......

Shut up, don't encourage him.

It's been eleven years since 2001. Since then, they've toured and/or released albums in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2009, 2010, and 2011. That's six years of out eleven - a majority. If this range dates is 2001 inclusive, then it's seven out of twelve. They also released a little bit of new music in 2002.

I understand the frustration of having nothing to discuss now. But I think yours is an unfair characterization of their activity.

 

[Galeongirl]

Well obviously the majority wants you to shut up.

 

[No spoken words]

That's really mean.

 

[Galeongirl]

Well perhaps you should've been nicer then, if you didn't want people to be mean.


Oh look, you got 39k posts. How glorious!

I mean damn, NSW, Niceman had a nervous breakdown after you posted

In 11 years (and counting) we've had 2 albums. That's the bottom line, from my perspective. Tours are nice. Tours are fun, but the albums are what matter to me.

 

[No spoken words]

I didn't even notice my post count. Wow.

I'll be nicer from now on......no I won't, actually. It's too much fun being mean to the likes of you.

I'd try to stick to the thread topic, but, yeah.

 

[No spoken words]

He has one of those per thread. Sometimes two, depending.

 

[LemonMelon]

Clearly he needs to stop being so nice.

Yeah, as if you could ever be nice.

There is no topic. We're a bunch of hopelessly lost fans still hanging on to something that's gone a while ago. One by one, we'll realise this and move on to other bands. Because there ain't a chance there'll be a new U2 album.

easy there, Debbie Downer. U2 is going to release a new album at some point. When and how good it will be is debatable.

 

[Galeongirl]

Nah, we'll just get a gazillion of Spiderman remakes with new songs. And the remixes, oh the remixes. It'll be worse than Pride. And Larry will make more movies, nobody will even remember Adam since he's gone off the radar a year or so ago. Bono and Edge will probably write their own musical at some point and become broadway's happiest couple.

 

[LadySpinHead]

A U2 Cirque De Soleil is in the near future. Mark my words. Keep an eye on Vegas.

Sigh.

Here's something for the speculators who like to speculate on tiny bits and snippets of random info. A couple years ago we knew that U2 were recording stuff at Julian Lennon's house. It was 2010 and I think they mentioned it plus we saw the in studio photos taken by Julian Lennon. Today JL's photo site went up and I thought it interesting that we now see what he titled each photo.

This one of Bono is titled "Disheartened".

Anyway, thought that might be something for the Debbie Downers to run with.


And if you want to see all the photos they're here.

OMG Bono's hair is getting longer. That means it'll be a mainstream succes album Interf won't like!

Like the Joshua Tree?????

U2 | Creative and Stunning Photography by Julian Lennon

That's the best pic I've seen of B in at least a few years - IMO.

That was immediately following his surgery, if I'm remembering correctly.

 

[zoopop]

Where are those pictures from?

 

[bonocomet]

Where are those pictures from?

It says in my post! Julian Lennon's website of his own photography. The U2 pics were taken in a studio at his house I believe, immediately following Bono's back surgery so around the summer of 2010.

 

[djerdap]

Bono is starting to vaguely resemble a 75-year old neighbour of mine.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

What you have just described is the Paul McGuinness effect -- "We could release the album and please millions of long-suffering fans... or we could hold it back to the Sept. 2013 period and make an extra $6000 in sales!" (rubs palms together in glee)

Do you honestly believe that the only person in the u2 camp who wants to make money is Paul McGuinness? Is that some sort of crutch that some U2 fans desperately need to hang on to to make them feel better about the oodles and oodles of money the band makes? As if Saint Bono of O'Connell Street, he who's a founding partner of a giant fuck hedge fund, doesn't know what a marketing strategy or tax shelter is?
