Possible U2 cover for next Q music magazine issue

[MikeyJB]

This is getting very fucking exciting! This is what I wanted to see on a Monday morning back in the office!! Personally I'm all for a bit of eyeliner - they all, but most of all Bono, have strived to change their image for each album, this is just their new thing, go for it I say! Although it'll probably just give the detractors even more ammo lol.

Oh and - 20/20

I wish Bono would go for a more ClockWork Orange eyeliner look.

 

[dan_smee]

^ i think thats what they want. Noone can accuse them of being the same, and that will only help album sales in the end

"Stand up to rock stars/Napoleon is in high heels/Be careful of small men with big ideas." This lyric is awful.

Judge it once you hear it sung.

Naturally.

 

[dan_smee]

definately one you need some contex for...

That is a great lyric

 

[cobl04]

Crazy Tonight, will.i.am? Straight up pop?

This is the only thing I've read so far that I didn't like.

 

[dan_smee]

^ its not like he will do a vocal duet, he just assisted with the mix. Decided things like that guitar should be louder.. said things like I gotta have more cowbell/humps...

I dont think itll be a huge deal

 

[MikeyJB]

All the comparisons with Achtung Baby are sooooo exciting!! I hate to wish time away but I cannot wait for March now

 

[dan_smee]

^ yeah, fuck xmas, get it done with asap!!!

 

[cobl04]

it's not that i didn't like, just "straight up pop"

from what's been said about the rest of the album, it seems like it'll be out of place

 

[U2girl]

No Line On The Horizon is more in keeping with the spirit of 1991's Achtung Baby: which is to say, a bolder, more testing collection.



Best u2 album hype again.

I like the photos, the eyeliner will be something to get used to. Just a promo shoot image or will Bono wear it on tour, in videos etc... ?

 

[U2girl]

Amen.

The last thing I will say about it is that Countries become world champions, teams and clubs become national and competition champions. To be champions of the world, and legitimately claim it requires more than winning a national, or slightly bigger competition.

Indeed. But it never stopped the American basketball, hockey and baseball teams from being overly pretentious.

I have a feeling he did it exclusively for this photoshoot, and will not stick with it

 

[U2girl]

Didn't he do it on that Christmas song video too ?

 

[dan_smee]

^we have been shut down from sporting talk

I love watching the NBA. LOVE it. Doesn't make the champions world champions though.

Anyway, new album coming out soon

 

[dan_smee]

Didn't he do it on that Christmas song video too ?

he did, i rekon he is doing it for promo purposes, nd will keep it up through until the tour, and then wont tour with it... itd run wth all the sweat and hed look too emo

 

[U2girl]

The gallery at Q's site, is it working for anyone ?

The boxer poses from hooded Larry in the video. The fire extinguisher.

 

[dan_smee]

nah havent had it working all day, some have been able to see it though

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Bono went crazy with that fire extinguisher, i'm pretty sure he was testing it if it was cool enough to put out The Edge. And Larry with his boxing poses, he means business, and Adam, he makes a pretty darn good cameraman.

 

[adypole]

I notice a hell of a lot of 'aggresion' in this video. Especially with Bono and Larry. I like how there putting the drummer a little more in the spotlight here.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

When you see Bono with that fire extuingisher, haha that is hilarious, then you see the Edge, hes probably thinking there is no way he could get put out when hes on fire.

Yes, even Adam's photo pose looks tough.

 

[last unicorn]

Bono should be careful with that thing and not extinguish the band.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Bono should be careful with that thing and not extinguish the band.

Mmm, what did you expect? Hes planning to put out The Edge!

 

[U2girl]

he did, i rekon he is doing it for promo purposes, nd will keep it up through until the tour, and then wont tour with it... itd run wth all the sweat and hed look too emo

Perhaps a new character what with the melon hat and the umbrella and the outfit ?
Edge did say Bono has a few 3rd person lyrics on this album...

Love this picture, and the effect the eyeliner adds to Bono's facial expression

Do you think this could be a dig at himself (Bono) ?

 

[U2girl]

Yep.
