When I see this kind of business options from U2 I always think that probably Bono said that they want to fight for irrelevance, not the opposite. They are doing everything right towards that.
Snippeting Yellow just shows how far from the zeitgeist they now are!
The gone full Bon Jovi, you don't go full Bon Jovi!Genuinely think that was up there as one of the worst ideas they've ever had.
If anything it's cemented the "rock dinosaur" image they are so terrified of having in the eyes of the kids.
They've now fully entered Bon Jovi territory. You've gotta laugh, I guess.

Well, Bono said, during an interview tonight that the album was coming out next year. So I'd assume Jan or Feb, if the tour resumes in Spring.

Calling it now: album in March, tour in May or June. Lead single sometime in winter. Though they're known for being a calculated Q4 release kind of band, they've released albums in late winter/early spring at least four times already (War, Joshua Tree, Pop, NLOTH) and it fits their touring plans.

My uneducated guess is that they wanted to do a new song between Vertigo and BD, but they couldn't get it to work so they threw in an easy crowd pleaser. That's why Elevation was such a disaster. Thrown in at the last second.
40 years! I was 5 when they started and 12 when I discovered their music. I am forever grateful for all the songs and 11 shows I saw. Today will be the day we apart.
I'd say more likely that Every Breaking Wave was thrown in, if anything. Bono on vocals, Edge on piano, nothing else. You barely need to rehearse.
Ugh, 2018 now for us Aussies?
Jesus
Just curious about what most of you would prefer from the band going forward.
1. Album followed by a two year world tour as they have done in the past.
2 Forget the world tour, do a few gigs here and there to promote the new record and be a lot more prolific in terms of putting out new music.
I personally would prefer option 2.
