'La gente dice que no somos capaces de acabar el disco.. Pues les vamos a joder y vamos a sacar 2'

U2 Valencia strikes again with more hint/tease......

U2 Valencia strikes again with more hint/tease......

It doesn't really mean anything...perhaps some bits of conversation with one of the band members that was overheard. It's just a quote really and there is no real source mentioned...

I don't believe there will be a DOUBLE-ALBUM. I lean towards them having material for 2 albums (similar to AB / Zooropa) and release the second one during the tour, possibly a year after the first release

"People say we're not capable to finish an album. Well we'll fuck you up and publish two."

And that quote could only be from Bono...

Source ?? If only there was a bit more details as when this conversation took place and with whom...

"People say we're not capable to finish an album. Well we'll fuck you up and publish two."

I love google translate sometimes:

"People say that we are not able to finish the album .. Well we're going to fuck and will take 2"

So - take 2, but after you fuck?

 

[gvox]

How in the fucking hell did you possibly come to that conclusion?

Blows my mind, personally. Seems to me the guys who actually wrote the song felt she had a really really good idea of what the song was/is about. They thought she was perfect for it, and she was.

 

[gvox]

Worst piece of shit they've never released.

Fixed

 

[Gonna Run 2 U]

By "Take 2" he means 2 orders of the fried calamari

I like the second one better

You must be joking. ZOOTV was a life-changing, ground-breaking, darkly beautiful, piece of perfection.

360 was... eh. Pretty good.

I second this.

yeah!!! we'll fuck you UP!!!

 

[2861U2]

if there is a remote chance that they consider playing the iTunes Festival I just can see 2 realistic dates .. either opening the festival on 1st or closing the festival on 30th September ... somewhere inbetween wouldn't be U2ish

I would say only the 30th seems realistic. The first just seems too soon.

I could see them releasing the single on the 9th or shortly after, and possibly releasing the album on the 30th (a Tuesday) with the performance that evening. Seems like a great way to kick things off.

 

[Tyagu_Anaykus]

The Spirit Squad! The only good thing about them was Zigler

ZOOTV is my pick as well...They created a new standard for Arena Concerts with this one.

Ha!

 

[Yahweh_OMG]

I tell you something: The One version with Mary J. Blige was one of U2's biggest successes. In my countries, it was their most successful single ever. Like it or not but that's as relevant as U2 can get these days.

If they go that route, then fine for them but seriously, besides them, who gives a damn about relevancy among us? At least not me. If they come up with another "Boy" album I will applaud big time. If they come up with poppy shit, then bye bye....

 

[Numb1075]

i think we'll definitely hear songs on the radio...and by proxy they will be formulated to be catchy 3:30-4:00 minute songs...pop

not pop like Lady Gaga but more along the line of Beautiful Day, City of Blinding Lights etc.

 

[purpleoscar]

People are pissed off at U2Valencia. "Did you confirm it's a double album?"

 

[Yahweh_OMG]

Yeah, to me Beautiful day is Pop-Rock..... Magic is Pop..... and Mary J is crap.



I would have no problem with a song like BD at all! However, The FLy would be better

 

[purpleoscar]

I'll be happy if we get a single that's supposed to be "anthemic", "epic".

 

[crankity crank]

yeah!!! we'll fuck you UP!!!

There's just so much right about this GIF.

 

[Numb1075]

Give me The Fly !! absolutely.

Give me 7 minute anthems like "Bad".

I'd be thrilled with either or both but they haven't done either in quite some time.

 

[Registered Dude]

There's just so much right about this GIF.

it just keeps giving and giving... like a great movie, where you pick up on something different every time you watch..

 

[womanfish]

I am hoping that they do come out along the lines of The Fly type single. I've said it before and I will say it again. They need to come out with something really hard-hitting and tough like The Fly, or Mofo, or go way stripped back and do something very quiet and beautiful.
I think almost anything in between (like Invisible, OL, etc...) will just get lost and passed off as another bland U2 song.

The third option - if they still have it in them, is to combine hard-hitting and beautiful and catchy and pop, and rock and "alternative" - all in one like they did so well on Achtung. Mysterious Ways, Even Better, So Cruel, UTEOTW... They mastered that balance during this time. I'm hoping they can do it again. But the quality has to be extremely high to pull it off.

 

[Numb1075]

agreed...mid-tempo rock won't cut it for me for this album

I don't want Crumbs, Miracle Drug, Magnificent...etc
