SOE 22 - 2018 it is... (it isn't)

I've heard a strong source from a reliable rumor that they intend to cap the year off by remastering Rattle & Hum and release Heartland as a single. Kind of makes sense due to Edge hinting at it during the interview video.

Looks like some form of marketing is starting, this was outside the stadium at tonight's gig

Anyone could have done that, but I wouldn't be surprised.

That can't be true.

Well it is a strong source from a reliable rumor so let's see...

If only it was a strong rumour from a reliable source...

In all seriousness, I wonder if we'll get a re-release in 2018 for the 30th anniversary of RH? There is a lot of material that could be used for the 2nd disc. Shitload of B-sides, Bono version of Mystery Girl, Jesus Christ (shudders), Wild Irish Rose, etc. Also, they could bundle a live show from LT in it. By God we need a fucking DVD from the LT TOUR!

Do it at the end of the year, just in time for Christmas. RH was released towards the end of 1988 anyway so it'd work.

I'm so happy The Best Thing is real! No let's hope it sounds somewhat like what the DJ remix sounded like and they don't ruin it on the album. I can also see this song being ever better on the album or good in 10 different ways like EBW is.

Very "Rock 'n Roll stops the traffic" moment.

What.

Don't believe that at all lol

 

[JUSTinPUSHPLAY]

There's not gonna be any heartland single Rattle and hum may get a box set Someday but They've prepared to single and a new album to be released in the next few months, Theyre not going to confuse people by releasing a single from 1988 in the middle of that. Tell your source to stop believing everything they hear's or cough up where he's hearing it from. Because starting rumors like this is only going to anger a fan base that should be eagerly awaiting new material

Usually when folks try and start a rumor, they make up one that has a minuscule shred of credibility to it.

No, this one doesn't have a shred of anything that makes sense to it.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Maybe they'll be dicks and release Rattle and Hum 2 with JT30 live recordings and like 4 new songs.

Edge did hint about his love for heartland though [emoji18]

And in doing so they'll realize that even about Pop it's finally time to give Rattle and Hum the TLC it deserves [emoji18]

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Nah they'll just be dicks

Well, there really is a Rattle and Hum reissue coming this year.

CDJapan : U2: 13 Reissues with SHM-CD & Cardboard Sleeve Packaging For The First Time

 

[superchuk5]

So they're using footage from an album revival tour, from a song on another old album, to be used for a video for a song that hasn't even been played yet.

Weird.

I agree that using footage from this tour to promote new music is... weird. It's like if the video for The Miracle used footage from 360.

 

[corianderstem]

I will wait and see the context before I pass judgement.

WHAT A CONCEPT

 

[superchuk5]

I don't know about you all, but that graffiti screams guerrilla marketing to me.

well Pop is reissued too

But if it's cut right, most won't even know. It will just be about a female dancing to U2's music.

 

[dan_smee]

Have to say - it seems more likely that they are preparing two film clips because they are (or at least were until recently) unsure which will be the first single, and want to enjoy their month off between tour legs.

The double A side theory is exciting, but highly unlikely IMO. Would be great if they did it though.

 

[Danny Boy]

well Pop is reissued too

And Miami is the single. Confirmed rumor.

 

[Danny Boy]

Yeah, they did something similar in London back in March to promote JT30.

 

[Axver]

Bono's new teleprompter.

Best post in this thread.

I think it could work as long as they don't show the stage. Specifically, the giant Joshua Tree on said stage.

Remember how they Incorporated that Dublin bridge shoot into the video for The Miracle? That was great. Almost as good as the video they created for Ordinary Love with all the people don't ordinary things that they used on tour this year.

Don't forget the fireworks over the lake

Galeongirl, I don't recall anybody asking you the single most important question about the Blackout shoot/secret gig:

What sunglasses was Bono wearing?!
