Exactly...why do they stream live radio but won't let us non-UK folks watch the video.

thanks! listening. Is that Larry talking?

 

[Total U2 Nut]

Only Bono and Edge are there

 

[ndmaxfield]

And they say that FOUR of the songs were recorded in one take.

 

[oceane]

Larry is there too

 

[ndmaxfield]

Larry is there too

...and everyone sounds so happy together!

 

[LyricalDrug]

And they say that FOUR of the songs were recorded in one take.

Wow. So that means it basically took 5 years to get the other 7 songs ready, which really goes to show what a disaster the Rick Rubin sessions must have been. I want those two years back!

 

[daithidaithi]

Exactly...why do they stream live radio but won't let us non-UK folks watch the video.

beacuse we pay a tv license in Britain and Northern Ireland for the pleasure of watching and listening to the BBC. it costs us £139 a year. thats why.

Eno says MOS and Breathe are U2's best songs ever.
Another album with a (paraphrased) very different feel...late night...ambient sound is coming next.

And "Linear" is made to be seen on computer to go along with the album.

Sheeesh...don't tell them about youtube. Soon we'll get it without paying them "the deserved quids"...

[ndmaxfield]

NRJ (continued)...Bono says an outdoor tour that will involve a space ship but not a lemon

 

[MooMoo!]

Its kinda hard to hear with the translations going on over the top.

 

[ndmaxfield]

Question from listener: What song defines U2?

For Edge, "Running to Stand Still" defines U2.
For Adam, "Drowning Man."
For Bono, "Miss Sarajevo."
Larry thinks U2 still hasn't found what it's looking for musically.

 

[oceane]

What's this 'concert' in London on Friday they are talking about? The 3 songs they'll play on Live Lounge (that I am hoping to win tickets for ), or is there something else we don't know about?

Anyone got a recording of this in mp3 format?

Anyone planning to do the same for Fridays Live Lounge also?
