New Album Rumor - February 2003


U2 could not make the grand premiere of their Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame Exhibit this weekend because they are currently in the studio with an unnamed NEW producer for a "trial period." Our source indicates this is someone U2 has not worked with before.

Now, Bono and Edge have indicated this will be a "guitar record" and that they'd like to make a garage-rock album.

Interesting, yes? Any guesses on this mystery Producer?

its gotta be Andy Johns! i hope
actually I really want Eno and Lanois the dynamic duo to do this record
lets keep the great albums coming boyz!!!

 

[Convoy]

I woudn't mind seeing someone new work with the Irish Rock Gods. It would bring more to the table.

 

[ouizy]

My guess would be Butch Vig from Garbage.

 

[quantumleap72]

I guess it isn't Phil Spector.

That would be great if it was Butch Vig!!!! I wish. As far as I know, he's only done remixes for them

 

[masbrigid]

interesting

someone new...this should be interesting

 

[TheRealThang_101]

how about Bob Rock?

 

[HelloAngel]

These are great guesses! I'm thinking we'll send out a prize for the Interferencer who guesses the right person!


Keep them coming!!!

My top 3 picks:
1. Butch Vig
2. Nigel Godrich
3. Brendan O'Brien

Uh.......I can only say "undisclosed party". Good grief, who is it? This is interesting.
*curious and not a cat*

Well I heard they were interested in working with the Neptunes... but I thought Edge was joking.

On the other hand it would be cool to hear Flood produce again.

When will we hear the mother of all rock songs? Where's this "Full Metal Jacket"... hope it comes out sooner than the end of the year.

If they are experimenting with a producer, who knows when a new album will surface. I thought this fall was a lock, but I am not so sure now.

Please God---don't let it be Glen Ballard.

 

[Jonny Holiday]

Rick Rubin would be an excellent choice to produce U2.

 

[Kristie]

Just as long as they keep William Orbit away.
One song was okay but I don't think I could handle his meddling with an entire album.

 

[IrishThunder]

Damn the secret is out!!!!


Yes I admit it, I am currently working with U2, but don't tell anyone else!

Brendan O'brien

 

[Michael Griffiths]

Producer: Ken Nelson

Mixer: Mark Pythain

(Coldplay's production team)

Do that, and they can't go wrong. Just listen to A Rush of Blood to the Head to see my point.

 

[IWasBored]

Please God---don't let it be Glen Ballard.

they wouldn't od something like that....right?

i don't have any guesses that haven't been said already...

I can't imagine they would... just look at what was said about DMB's Ballard-produced "Everyday" album.

NOT A BAD POINT. HOWEVER, I MUST ASK YOU, DON'T YOU THINK THAT CHOOSING THOSE AFFORMENTIONED PEOPLE WOULD BE UNORIGINAL AND KIND OF "JUMPING ON THE BANDWAGON" OF THE MOMENT?

LOGIC SAYS THAT THE LANOIS/ENO COMBO HAS BEEN WORKING WONDERS FOR MANY YEARS, SO WHY MESS WITH IT. MY HOPE IS THAT THE NEW ALBUM IS A LITTLE MORE "EDGIER" AND HARD-SOUNDING. ATYCLB WAS AN EXCELLENT ALBUM, BUT VERY SOFT AT TIMES.....

 

[mmmBono]

Brendan O'brien

I was going to say the same thing!
That might be interesting...hmmmm...
Whoever this is...this is amazing someone new would keep things fresh

 

[Dorian Gray]

Nigel Godrich would be uber cool.
