The single also features another brand new track, Are You Gonna Wait Forever?, along with a cover of Neon Lights which was originally written and recorded by Kraftwerk, plus a Vertigo remix by Jacknife Lee.

[L03VIk]

A single with 2CD´s and a DVD?
Why not 1CD and 1DVD? Seemes a bit weird...
But who cares!

 

[Lucy3011]

More money..

 

[LSB2]

How can u2.com claim this as an exclusive? I posted the songs on here hours ago, and the trcklising on my MSN U2Homecoming site this morning!

 

[Tomaz]

Buy the CD2 and the DVD, and you have everything.

But anyway, the old times were nice when a CD single contained 3 bonus tracks, like during the Joshua Tree-AB era...

 

[Dragonfave]

We need the audio clip. The long wait is hurting my tummy..............

[popacrobat]

2. Are You Gonna Wait Forever?


dont they already know the answer?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

u2.com is gettin' ready...

they added a new pannel to their timeline... no picture and no events on it yet, but the pannel is there, which makes me think that they're getting ready to add somethin' to it... or maybe i'm just nuts

 

[popacrobat]

i saw that too

but on the little history slider, they need to add 2003 and 2004... lazy bastards.

 

[mofo82]

u2.com is gettin' ready...

headache im noticin the swirl in the middle of the U2 logo on that screen...theyve been using that for years on the website but maybe it couldve been a subtle hint all along for 'vertigo' . wonder if we'll see that pop up in any packaging...

 

[U2Kitten]

Any videos coming out soon?

 

[Elevation01]

I'm confused. Does this mean the single will be delayed (Nov. 8th)? Or just the CD single format available to stores?

I was thinking that Vertigo would hit the airwaves in late September.

Please, tell me we'll hear it in september!
