Album 13: Arguing/Punning/Meme-ing/Discussion thread

[The_acrobat]

Not sure if this goes here;

I saw Garth Brooks is playing 2 shows at Dublin Croke Park on July 25-26. If they sell out quickly, he'll probably add more.

Does this mean U2 won't be able to play there? I thought there was some sort of allotment for allowed concerts there per year? Just thought you Irish fans might like to know in case there's some sort of issue with stadium availability this summer.

Come on, that's not a bad performance, band is very much into it, Bono especially. But I agree with everyone saying that there was no real reason for the band to be there without being nominated for a Grammy. They've had plenty opportunity for promotion and actually did a lot of promotion for NLOTH around that time.

I seem to recall a week's worth of Letterman and then a GMA appearance.

That was the beginnings of happybouncingbassboy.

band are selling it well, yes..


ultimately, ye olde methods of promotion failed them in 2009.. this year needs something different.

They could always play the Aviva

Sent from my android cause iphones are for old people

 

[dismantlemyfly]

So we know we have 12 songs, we know we have a new single where the info is coming out "within days" and they are starting to book shows.

No way in hell this thing is NOT coming out in April.

Which I believe is the rumor. And they could play more than three.

 

[corianderstem]

2 for Garth Brooks and 3 for One Direction is already 5, so there is no such rule.

U2, guys.

[corianderstem]

6 degrees of Amy Poehler/Bono?

 

[Nick66]

Is anyone else going to take them up on this email offer to make backstage passes available to Platinum Members?

Got to admit, U2.com is doing it right this time.

 

[corianderstem]

Wait, what? I missed that.

 

[mikal]

You guys, I called into work today because I thought there's be a big announcement.!!!111!!1

 

[Nick66]

Wait, what? I missed that.

It's only part of the package for VIP Platinum Level Members.

 

[corianderstem]

Is that a thing?

 

[Registered Dude]

Is that a thing?

you're better than this...

 

[Nick66]

Is that a thing?

I'm sorry I can't talk about it. I've said too much already.

 

[corianderstem]

you're better than this...

I thought my skepticism came through much clearer.

I'm sorry I can't talk about it. I've said too much already.

 

[ClaytonsKitten]

U2, guys.

U2.

 

[chork]

Did you see what they're offering with Double Secret Super Platinum Membership?!

I'm not sure there's enough lube in existence for that!

 

[corianderstem]

Ew.

Another tweet... doesn't say much this time but...

Have decided to make own coffee during the week, and use $$ for the #u2tix&travel fund, should have nice little next egg w/xtr $80/month

 

[youarenotimmune]

It's very unlikely that you'll need to drop $500. The best seats on the last tour were $250. With a presale, you'll probably be able to get those seats pretty easily. General admission is more difficult, although you'll still probably be okay. GA tickets are in the $50 range. If you have a $500 budget, you'll have no issue getting GA tickets on the secondary market.

Thanks!

God, I'm so psyched for this tour

 

[Aleh_Hewson]

So, I dreamt that U2 posted here on Interference their full album, then deleted ir. Just few people heard, and they became delusional, thinking that it was a dream.

Pretty deep stuff

 

[chork]

It was up for six seconds.

And it was fucking amazing.

 

[Rachel D.]

So is "Invisible" even going to be on the album? Do we know for sure?

 

[corianderstem]

There was an article where the writer mentioned Bono playing songs from the album, and Invisible was one of them.

I think it is extremely unlikely it is not on the album, whether or not it's used in conjunction with a (RED) thing or not.

 

[ClaytonsKitten]

I'm still thinking that part of the album proceeds are going to go towards (RED).

It would make the most sense. Especially if the album release is in conjunction with a new streaming service/download tool.

"Buy our album and 10% of each album sold goes to buy AIDS drugs for Africa!" Yep, sounds exactly like Bono. And it would help drive album sales as opposed to people just downloading the tracks they like; ie the single.

Other than the song sucking, I don't see anything wrong with this....
