Um, wait, WHAT?! Do I read "a brand new song" and "live"?!?!

Can't wait to hear if this is true.

Ironic, though, that the station is called "The Edge"

I guess Bono's humanitarian work is rubbing off on his brother.

... New song?

Or do they mean a new guitar riff without lyrics?

I'm putting on my skeptic hat to say that I am skeptical.

Agreed. I'd go so far to even say that I'm suspicious of these tweets.

me too

 

[GraceRyan]

Must be the new song called Stuck in a Moment. Oh wait? That's NOT new? It's new to us 25 year olds. And that Stay song is old too? Double drat.

Next hour, new song from the reformed Beatles. Oh, that's just McCartney? Which one was he?

 

[Rachel D.]

What's going on? Is this a joke?

 

[last unicorn]

So no new info on that story yet? I don't think it's true. Bono was in England and Irland recently, I don't think he went to Canada to visit a radio station. If he really wants to play a "new song", he can as well do that on Irish radio. I have no idea what's going on, but the story doesn't sound very believable.

 

[Galeongirl]

Yeah, uhm, can you say Hoax?

IF this were true, people listening to the radio would've heard about it. And it would've generated a much bigger buzz, we'd have the stream downloaded already.

I call bullshit. Let's not waste any more time talking about these attentionwhores.

Oh and for the record, ALL new U2 songs are debuted by Dave Fanning, RTE2 radio Ireland.

 

[mama cass]

yeah, my thinking was "if there aren't any mp3s by this morning, it didn't happen"

I agree, he gets around alot but it seems a bit too much as I think he might be present at his brother's thingy (posted above) and I believe it is Norman's 60th birthday on Sunday, so there should be some celebrations going on

On an entirely different subject, but somehow U2 related, one of the companies involved in building the claw, filed for bankruptcy monday and informed their employees that evening by 'text'
It raised quite a bit of commotion around here cus that is not how things should be done..

it is not Stageco but a company making the steel:
U2 stage - Sleurs Industries

Yes true, for a new song anyway. However not TOTALLY impossible for something sorta newish to air on radio than be completely forgotten and ignored. I still to this day cannot find the radio edit of Breathe ANYWHERE that I heard played live. It was different than any version we have, and called U2's new single when it was introduced. Then it vanished forever.....

Bono's Old Haunt Comes Back To Life For Self Help Africa Bash

Oh what a great event, and I bet Bono will be there to cheer on his brother tonight, which, hopefully, means more new pics! Thanks so much for the info. And that business about "the new song" sounds like a hoax!

"Bono, Ali Hewson and Renzo Rosso to speak at IHT Luxury conference in Rome"

[Babyface82]

that day I'll have to see the most famous U2 italian cover band

 

[Caroni]

Talking about hoaxes XD if this guy has 106.880 followers how many followers would the real Bono have O-o

https://twitter.com/BonoVox_

XD

 

[FlyontheHorizon]

Yeah, the real Bono would never be able to spell that well. Or refrain from using an excess of exclamation marks.

 

[last unicorn]

But I guess he'd at least have a profile picture that wasn't taken with a low quality phone cam

I love Fake Bono on Twitter. He'd say: I love myself, too Shame he doesn't post more often.

Short clip of Bono talking about B. B. King, from a new documentary:

[U2fan6313]

According to my local newspaper, Bono was at Gwyneth Paltrow's birthday party in Nice. I wonder if there will be pictures.

I dont believe in anything, anymore!!

 

[Angel-Of-Harlem]

^ That's not the official twitter account. It doesn't have the blue sticker thing. So yeah, don't believe that tweet. The official account is https://twitter.com/u2com

 

[last unicorn]

U2 are NOT tweeting. Edge was tweeting during the tour, it was the only official tweet we ever got from a U2 band member. I doubt very much that U2 would ever be tweeting stuff like this. The only person on twitter I trust to tell me something real about Bono's state of mind is Fake Bono
