To make matters worse, they're likely going to return to the U.S. with this Greatest Hits bullshit that've they've been doing for the last leg. Who other than lowest-common-denominator fans and people who have never been to a show wants to see that?
And as someone who isn't excited about any of the newer songs debuted, there isn't much for me here. Sorry, but as great as this band is I don't care to hear the same old, same old, especially when they dropped a bunch of great material from No Line.
The set list doesn't concern me because I'm in it for the experience more than the songs.
Maybe you all should go away for a while and you know,dream it all up again and come back when new album is out. I don't get it,there was 5 years between the last 2 albums but now all of a sudden everybody is going crazy about new album coming out after the tour. Maybe they really are'nt ready to put it out yet,with so much shit going on with spidey and tour scedual being messed up etc. Maybe they want to be 100% sure about new stuff and awoid putting someting out and get endless whining about songs being poor and weak blah blah blah... sorry,end of rant.Dont'hate me!
I'm kind of relieved, actually.
what's a CD player?
Here's Edge's quote, which sounds really familiar:
"Bono's been talking about different projects and they're all still kind of alive. We're not ready to commit to one particular direction, but we've so much new material. And when the dust settles and we're off the road, I think we're gonna give ourselves a couple weeks and sit back and figure it all out and decide which way we're gonna go." Later he adds, "We're enjoying that moment where things haven't fully come into focus and we could take it in a number of different directions."
.
That's exactly the problem because I and many others have the feeling that the tinkering makes the material any better.Plus, I'm glad that U2 is the kind of band that is always worried about their material that they release. They're not just in it for a quick buck. Everybody knows that if they release an album it's going to sell, regardless of the content in it.
Jesus, people are actually surprised/angry.
Do you know who this is? This is U2.

That's nice. We're not.Edge said:We're enjoying that moment where things haven't fully come into focus and we could take it in a number of different directions.

i get that the shows are rescheduled... but if they weren't rescheduled and they came back with the exact same setlist, i woulda been upset about it.
Oh, and I promised an angry gif I've been waiting to use if it turned out there would be no album this spring. Behold my joking rage.
