I read on @u2 that first of all....the new album won't come out until 2004. I guess drum tech Sam Sullivan spilled these beans to a fan at their dublin studio. So that sucks. I pray it isn't true, but I seriously doubt that it'll come out before 2004.
But also that next year they are doing another arena tour, and that will be their last "Big" tour. After that, their tours will be shorter, and in more selected cities...according to their management. They don't wanna be like the stones and tour into their 60s.
I personally don't see anything wrong with the stones still touring. If they want to, then let them. I'm sure their fans still love it. Just like I don't see why U2 has to quit in their mid-40s. Tom Petty and Aerosmith are both in the 50s now, and they still put on a good show. My point is that I think U2 is being a little bit intimidated by their age.
