LP13 - It all comes down to this...

[popacrobat]

Will anyone take a guess why U2 is being so hush about this album.

Because they, like me, enjoy watching Interference burn now and then.

It's terrible, but fun.

Its pretty remarkable they've been this quiet and no one is really talking too many details. Just Bono's interview earlier this year.

the more you reveal, the more you need you're expected to own up to..

case in point - claiming a song has "the mother of all rock and roll" riffs

So I would be remiss if I didn’t ask you before you go what your favorite U2 song is.

Oh, God. Favorite song… “Discotheque.”

Interesting. Why?

Because have you seen that music video? It is the most ridiculous one that I’d ever seen. They’re singing in a disco ball and have a routine like they’re in a boyband. It’s amazing.

Confirmed rumor: U2 hates Pop, U2 hates Bono's daughter as well.

Bonos daughter creeps me out.

Bonos daughter creeps me out.

How come? She's pretty easy on the eyes.

 

[U2FAN4LIFE]

Noone outside of hardcore fans ever recognizes what the hell I'm talking about if I mention that U2 went on a lil tangent in the 90s and did Passengers. The vast majority of the U2-listening planet believes U2's 90s tangent was Pop.

The majority of the u2 listening planet probably believes that Miss Sarajevo and Your Blue Room are in fact U2 songs from REAL soundtrack albums. The even more casual fans probably figure they are just deep album cuts from Zooropa/Pop or b-sides.

Ultimately the next one is LP13, it does not matter what we think as fans. The fact the band did not release OSV1 as a U2 album is what precludes it from being one. Case closed.

On that note, how amazing would it be if we got a new U2 album followed shortly by OSV2? I'm not a huge fan of OSV1 as a whole but there are 4 tracks in particular that I prefer over just about anything on the next 2 U2 albums.

But Damn, those were the good old days, 4 proper U2 albums, 1 "out there" side project and a few decent sound track singles within an 11 year window.

Wish her luck. Even with Bono's support it's not easy having a career in acting. Once you're in a flop of a TV show or movie they don't care who you are related to. I'm glad she's forceful and confident. You have to be if you want to be an actress.

Bonos daughter creeps me out.

Me too. She's waaayy too self-confident in my opinion. She's acting like Fallon is an old bro of her, same with Sean Penn and anybody else in the showbiz i guess, i don't like that, when many other young actors struggle in life.

She does know these people, and yes she's a nepotist but that is par for the course in Hollywood. A lot of successful actors/actresses have showbiz parents and get the best advice.

How dare a young woman have self-confidence!

she's dead-on accurate about this:

What’s great about Hollywood is that it is so cutthroat, and it really fucking doesn’t matter who you are. If you’re not right for the part, you’re not right the part. No director is going to sacrifice their film because they want someone’s famous kid in it for a headline. That’s what I love about Steven, too. He doesn’t give a shit. At all.

They oughta go back to the kitchen.

Exactly. The peak of 76 on the US charts says it all. If the name U2 were slapped on it, enough casual shoppers in record stores (which still did exist in 1995 kids) would have seen it and bought it to chart much higher than that. Most of the general public (then and now) has no idea about the project whatsoever.

very funny....but, a heck of a lot of money was raised in the past few months.

I don't recall anyone considering it a U2 album in the media or on radio.

God,if that were a u2 album from 85 onwards performance they would be finished.

Can u imagine if the new album performs like that.

I love that they didn't capitalize the N in "nice", so 1:30 AM is a "nice time".

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Nothing nice happens at 1:30am

Spiteful comment. Jealousy is a bitch I guess.

 

[BEAL]

U2 always works till the last minute on albums.

They were working on NLOTH just a few weeks before Boots dropped.

So nothing new. But it would be nice to just have something done.

But have a feeling we'll get a generic "this has to be right" comment and delay

Has this been posted? From Alan Cross -a music buff and big U2 fan here in Canada. If it has, apologies - didn't bother going through previous threads.
