Already they had been for three times in Portugal for concerts, but never in a situation as of yesterday. The U2 Irishans had arrived of particular airplane, had taken up quarters in the zone of Lisbon and had passed all the afternoon and principle of the night in photographic sessions with the dutch Anton Corbijn, one known photographer who already collaborated innumerable times with the band.
The Great Beach, close to Sintra, and the zone of the Expo local had been visited by the comitiva of about twenty people who include the four Irishans - Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen - and two seguran?as. The restaurant Pipe of the Shoe and the discoteca Lux had been also local for where the comitiva passed. according to PUBLIC it selected, the group goes to be in Portugal until the o tomorrow.
The objectivo of the short stay is to carry through photographic sessions that will go to serve of support to all the operation of promotion of the next album to the U2, to edit in the Summer and, eventually, to the layer of exactly. The choice of Lisbon was an option of the dutch Anton Corbijn and was prepared has some time. The photographer, who visits Portugal regularly, wanted to remove the group of Dublin, city where they inhabit and where they are to finish the writings of the new album under some pressure.
The operation was prepared in great secret and nor the publishing company in Portugal, the Universal one, wise person of the visit of the band. The group wants to unite work the rest, but already they had yesterday been recognized for some fans in Beach Great e to the night in Lisbon. The main one aimed at is Bono, the charismatic singer who turned agent politician in the last years, thanks to the innumerable civic and humanitarian interventions next to the whole world leaders.
The U2 is for many considered the best band rock of the actualidade. They had become known in dawn of years 80, height where they had launched albums as "Boy" (1980) or "October" (1981). In 1982 they had been in Portugal in a actua??o that made history in the second edition of the Festival Vilar de Mouros. However, it would be with "War", in 1983, and with a inesquec?vel actua??o in the "Live Aid" that would reach universal dimension. Albums as "Unforgettable Fire" (1984), "The Joshua Tree" (1987), "Rattle And Hum" (1988), "Achtung Baby" (1991), "Zooropa" (1993) or "Pop" (1997) would cement the position of the band as leader of the panorama international pop-rock. In simultaneous, the innumerable digress?es to the return of the world disclose a group capable to create great popular events without forgetting the vocation creative. Who fulled for complete the old Stadium of Alvalade in 1993 - "Zooropa Tour" - and in 1997 - "Pop Mart Tour" - certainly it did not forget what it lived.
Its last album, "All That You Can't Leave Behind", was edited in 2000, but it is certain that they go to return this year to records, there more for the Summer. The writings had started after the digress?o "Elevation Tour" and already if it knows that some new subjects have names as "Full metal jacket", "Native sound" or "American to prayer". The producer is Chris Thomas who already worked with so different people as Sex Pistols, Elton John or Roxy Music. In February, the guitarist The Edge affirmed that "it would be probably the album most energetic and rude of the group" and "manager" Paul McGuinness lined up for the same opinion: "It is an exciting record, of direct rock." The renewal of the rock encetada in the last years for bands as the The White Stripes or the The Strokes seems to now constitute the source of inspiration of the U2.
In the same height of the edition of the record a new biography of the group, intitled "In The Name Of Love will be launched: U2 by U2 ", that it will contain texts, unknown illustrations and photographs. But the package of new features is not for here, because it is also to be prepared a photograph book of Anton Corbijn on the U2, that probably will include some of the photographs that now are to work in Lisbon. The contribution between photographer and U2 is long. Known they had forever been the photographs to the group in the desert of the Nevada in the height of the album "The Joshua Tree" (1987). Photograph book author, of v?deoclips and also to designer, Corbijn, displays with regularity, meeting at this moment works of its authorship in galleries of art in Hamburg, Germany, and Venice, in Italy.
