NEWS - U2 Streaming Songs From New Hits Set On Band Website
10/22/2002
(10/22/02, 4 p.m. ET) -- U2 is now streaming tracks from its upcoming November 5 release, U2: The Best Of 1990-2000, on the band's official website (U2.com). The site is offering one or two different tracks daily, including B-sides and remixes that will only be featured on a bonus CD packaged in a limited-edition version of the new collection.
U2 guitarist the Edge talked to LAUNCH about the decade covered on the greatest hits set. "The period from Achtung Baby right through to All That You Can't Leave Behind is kind of the story of us taking the idea of a rock-and-roll band and abstracting it as far as you possibly could and then reconstructing it again. And y'know, I think that's really in a nutshell what we did during that period--at every turn it was really an attempt to find inspiring places to go as songwriters and, y'know, artists."
In other U2-related news, NHK, a Japanese television broadcasting corporation, has announced its plans to broadcast U2 live at Slane Castle, from the band's 2001 tour, on its BS2 Channel on November 29. According to NHK's website, the show is titled U2: Live In Ireland.
