Regardless, the implications from Lanois' comments are that they had something pretty concrete in mind. They just didn't stick with that plan. Perhaps, the others never intended to go with Lanois' idea, but there is absolutely nothing to suggest that either.

not sure if this was addressed to me, but if so... i agree and love good conversation, just would like to see speculation presented as speculation, not fact.. my playful post was just a way of pointing this out...
not trying to put anyone down... please understand....
when something as exciting as this comes out, I hope the atmosphere of the thread can stay one of excitement and anticipation for all U2 fans, without being overshadowed by intense speculation delivered as fact.
That's all i meant to say... what are your favorite parts of the video, babyman?
mine are Edge's riffs, Larry with a Gong!! and the Chorus of Four near the end... Lanois' comments about the group of six playing together for 25 years are also very cool. His is a perspective we don't often get to hear..

good...................................Well, I must say that I really felt in love with that chorus of Edge/Eno/Lanois/Bono, it's so strong, and I bet this could be a hot single. I'm already imaging it live, the whole crowds singing along! I'm a bit deceived because it's just a snap, but long enough to understand that's a hit!
Bono's singing while Eno applauds is also great, I like it mostly by the end when Bono says: "or something", and all start laughing! A great sign that there was a truely friendly atmosphere, and you really understand Lanois's words. These guys are first of all friends, even brothers, before being musicians. When they get together, it's like pieces of puzzles who look for each other.............
Actually Edge's riff reminds me a bit of Love, Peace Or Else, it's a crunch if I don't get wrong, but it's another bit where you can understand what kind of music they're up to give us...............................
But that whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh chorus, is simply braindrilling! It remained in my mind, I'm even singing it along like a song I've always known. It feels unbelieveble, last night as I was out with a couple of friends I started singing it, and they wondered: "Where have you this from? Who's song is this?" and I "Oh, it's a bit of U2's new one, they're still working on it!"
It's like being with a step in the future, you already sing a bit that in a year many may sing, too........................ It's the preview!

awesome
it's so cool that they're willing to release this! to me it means they feel very good about where it's going (or already gone!!) - they're usually very protective of their work while it's in progress, and i'd bet that for them to release something this good so "early" in the process, they're already to an even better level with it.
that, of course is just speculation. ;-) but based on what I've seen in the past...
i know what you mean about it getting in your head already, haha, i downloaded the mp3 that Edge89 so kindly posted for us, and it's near the top on my itunes playlist already ;-)
Still waiting to hear someone else go nuts over Larry with a gong! ;-)

Actually, from what I read or heard or saw (I don't recall now!), U2 was reluctant to part with any footage but Lanois told them it was the least they could do after working with them for 25 years!

It wasn't a big deal on my part of getting U2 fans these songs really.
The credit should actually go to Zoo_Fly for going trough the risks of being spotted by security and getting caught while recording the first audio that was given to us from these sessions.
And also don't forget that alanah gave me the u2.com link so I was able to record the high quality audio and then upload it for you guys.
I didn't do the hard stuff in other words.

Sorry all, I'm not too computer smart, I have no idea how to rip the audio from my digital camera video, nor how to convert this to MP3 or whatever the kids use these days
But I uploaded it to Youtube. The camera was hidden in my jacket so there's no picture (they were using night vision goggles, apparently, to spot piraters). The sound quality is pretty much the same as what I recorded off my camera.
Theres 3, maybe 4 songs in there only a few seconds of each. Nothing to get too excited about, but still cool to hear what they've been up to!

Remember how the u2.com article mentioned the birds that made some noise in between the takes?
I think it's in the first one where Brian says something like "They have been extremely harsh critics during our stay here".
Then they're mentioned again later on in the text.
You can definately hear birds tweeting during the "Love and Peace" song.
Also, I think they can be heard in the last instrumental song we get to see.
That would fit with the other mention that says "Let's start from the beginning with Larry this time" then Brian is said to throw out instructions "Verse, chorus verse" around the circle which sounds like what is happening in that last clip even though he is just counting instead of saying verse and chorus.
Just some thoughts, I might be wrong about the last one.

really exciting stuff, love that guitar riff by EDGE>
lets hope in the time before the record is released, most of this gets on it and doesn't get "redone"

Is it bad that I've already tabbed out the guitar part for the "heavy" riff?
And also, the "four man chorus" is really really lovely.
After spending the past year basically being disappointed in U2 for what I felt was a "safe" song, "Window In The Skies", I am SO happy to be proven wrong by them! New material sounds great.

The Edge has magic in his head and magic in his hands.
I thought I heard a little "opium den" kind of sound for a bit, didn't note the exact timing of the clip. This collaboration will give birth to some incredible stuff -I can't wait.

How far along they are makes almost no difference to me because the release date will remain more than a year away.

Seems way more interesting than anything from Atomic Bomb so far. Still, I'm not getting my hopes up. IMO U2 will probably suffocate most of the innovation they've discovered by the ime of the actual release.
My favorite part was the bit around 4:40 with Bono singing and the others clapping.

I liked what I heard. It all sounds good and inspiring but not that amazing to me. That riff that is played has that hypnotic eastern like vibe to it that might make a good song, and I like the fact that it's slightly heavier than the usual ones. But overall (in this very raw format) it's not that great of a riff or of a sound really. It's not as good as The Fly or the I Will Follow riffs for example. It's as good as the Love And Peace riff, which is a great one, and one hell of a song but also one that they left behind at some point of the last tour.
I really hope that they have a chant-like chorus with that Moroccan vibe there but that one they were singing wasn't that good to me. It should be in the same level of quality of that eastern melody Bono used to hum to begin certain Zoo TV shows. If they get to write anything on that level of quality than it will be one hell of a record. And I think that should be the standard for them. Keep it as high as possible, comparing it to the great music they have done in the past. I know I may be asking for a lot but they have done it in the pass and I believe they can do it again.
They should bring that Zoo Tv chant back to life by the way and include it on the record. That chant could be one hell of a chorus. They never recorded it so why not use it.
