Rock n' Roll Doggie VIP PASS
So we're almost to the point where promotion of the album will kick in. I'm just wondering how is U2's popularity in your neck of the woods, and how much work do you think they need to do to make this album be successful, and the following tour?
I realize that they are a well established rock band, but come this fall it will have been 3 years out of the public eye. Some people might have forgotten, some might not care anymore. I know a friend of mine who grew up loving U2 with me just doesn't really seem to like them anymore. But it's just because of stupid reasons, like they're looking older, or the fact that Bono doesn't do characters onstage anymore.
So they have some new fans to make, some old fans to please, and some fans who have fallen off the U2 bandwagon... they need to get those people back on. They are older now, and they are definately starting to look their age. It's not a bad thing and they are all good looking guys (not gay), but old people are a hard sell in the music business. But what do they need to do, promotionally, to make the album a big success?
