New Album - inc 'Invisible' - discussion of Hangar Clips, Super Bowl and Amy Poehler

[corianderstem]

maybe.

We'll see.

 

[digitize]

We should all pool together $4m to buy an Interference Super Bowl commercial that will just be a black screen with the following white text:

"U2, JUST RELEASE A FUCKING ALBUM. LOVE, YOUR FANS."

The Fly can play in the background.

 

[corianderstem]

Heh.

 

[trojanchick99]

How about a billboard near the Super Bowl? Should be cheaper.

You know, I'd actually chip in towards that.

Who do we know near Giants Stadium?

All over New York or Dublin would be more effective.

Is there a Paypal account to which we can contribute?

It would be funny if it turned out that during the Superbowl™©® U2 were the real half time show performer and they came out dressed in their Discotheque attire and danced on a slowly spinning stage with smoke and lasers and Bono, at the end, announced "Nothing went wrong with POP!" thus cementing themselves as the coolest band ever. Oh, and then a short commercial aired for the new album, or something.

I would die from happiness.

I can see Bono and Edge being surprise guests on the half time show. Chili Peppers will be joining Bruno Mars. They can make room for two more. What better way to reinforce the commercial?

I cannot imagine what a Bono/Edge/Bruno Mars combo would sound like.

So basically right now, U2 has 1 reason to exist.

Song of Ascent, yo

In which case, scrap the Chili Peppers and get U2 to do this song with Bruno Mars.

 

[gvox]

I don't think it's clear what Bruno is singing about in this song. Is it religious?

Did it hurt much when you pulled this out of your ass?

 

[bonocomet]

If they don't feel confident in the stuff they have, maybe they should just release bits of it at a time. Tweak as they feel the need to. Pass any disasters as one-off experiments.

At first I thought you said "twerk as they feel the need to".
Which, actually might have worked.

Don't go giving Bono ideas.... all we need is for him to want to swing around on a giant wrecking ball next tour.

Suspended steering wheel mic stand?

Spoiler

Surprised noone has made a gif of that yet...Miley clearly plagiated on Bono

 

[higher ground]

I'm hoping they have at least two albums worth of great material, (I'm being optimistic I think!) and the response to Invisible will I'm sure help them decide over two or three songs that they might be umming and aahing over whether to include on Monkey Hunch or not.

I'm being greedy, but I also hope that we get two albums this year, one spring, one autumn


As Invisible shares the same song title with Wild Beasts song 'Invisible' off the album Smother, I just thought I'd say I love the song and album. Just thought I'd say that.

No, I was donkey punched at the same time so it all felt very smooth.

 

[Registered Dude]

I hope Invisible knocks it out of the fucking park.

Don't worry--the release comes after you get the blow to the back of the skull.
