LP13/Invisible. The Hope! The Trauma. Who's lying next?

[Aleh_Hewson]

I was reading this thread while doing my weekly shopping at Target. Using my shitty web browser on my phone because the Interference app no longer works for me thanks to the update.

I just downloaded the updated app, and it's FREAKIN AMAZING - really, I'm loving it *.*

 

[dan_smee]

That's pointless. It's out tomorrow at the latest.

I know, but I want to hear it!

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Initial reaction threads are usually the most fun.

And especially the first 20 pages.

 

[ClaytonsKitten]

This thread serves as a reminder of, now matter how cyclical we get, how easily we are all able to fall into fangirl/fanboy mode, given the right circumstances.

This. It's times like these when I really truly love this band.

(That said, I'm ready for the album. Like, now. But still...NEW MUSIC!!!)

Yeah, I have an SII and my phone isn't "compatible" with it according to Google Play.

Be careful to not get bored too soon.

The teaser video is over 2.8 million views. I checked sometime earlier today- I forget when- and it was 1.9.

Not really. It's just mindlessly positive superlatives and a bunch of these

Hopefully Invisible is actually deserving...

 

[SecretFly]

Get the feeling that a leak is imminent though. I know it is a charity single, but it's not as if they lose money if it leaks... I mean, the kind of people scouring for a leak will mostly download it off iTunes anyway, especially as it is free.

It's 12:00pm here - I'd be surprised if I go to bed tonight and I haven't heard it yet.

Hi Dan. What time do you think it will be released in OZ?

 

[dan_smee]

Hi Dan. What time do you think it will be released in OZ?

4am Eastern is the supposed first airing on US radio.

The song goes live on iTunes at 10am eastern

The ad will be broadcast around 11:15 to 11:30am

 

[dan_smee]

I really hope they throw the video up on youtube straight after the download is taken down - make it the only place to hear the song afterwards, and watch those views skyrocket.

Of the three most recently posted videos, U2 have cracked 10.8 million views in 72 days, and a tick under 3 million in nearly 48 hours for the teaser

 

[cbanksy9]

Wow in just about 5 hours since I last posted, the video went up a million+ views

I want the video up the same time as the song, but that's just because I know 60 seconds of it isn't going to be enough! I'm gonna want to WATCH it and rock out to it all at once!!

Have you ever noticed that parties end almost right after you get there? It's not because you're showing up late.

Anyone got a link?

I said this a while back, but I don;t think anyone responded - tell me I'm not crazy, but the 1, 2, 3, 4 sounds like Edge holding his nose. Thoughts?

Also, glad they didn't count in 1, 2, 3, 14

 

[Registered Dude]

Lillywhite still a no go.. stole this from atu2. originally from twitter.

Fan: Bono says they might experiment with other producers in the final stages of the new album. Might you be one of those?

Lillywhite: i am not different enough for them i think ! not after 34 years...

Fan: who knows, maybe you'll be getting a call!

haha. Is invisible one of the songs bono played for you last year?

Lillywhite: i looked at my notes, and he didn't play that one…

I just hope it's not auto-tuned!

And hmm, it COULD be Edge. I'm all for more vocal participation by the entire band, so....

Rumor has it that Adam will be handling all vocals on Invisible.

Also, that Lillywhite is still out is good news indeed.

Don't tease me like that. That's not nice.

Spoiler

If he even did ONE song, I'd die. I'd be a puddle on the floor and that'd be the end of me.

I suppose you will just have to settle for his part in "Your Blue Room."

Been there, put that on repeat.

And yeah, I've got Endless Deep, too.

The one Seattle station that would have been a lock to play a new U2 song switched formats this year and now plays shitty 90s jams.

Those are my local stations. WWIZ is the only "current" rock station and they haven't played a new U2 song since Vertigo.

Still gonna call 'em tomorrow anyways!

The two Boston stations that would have been locks, WBCN and WFNX are both now defunct.
There's a couple other stations likely to play it, but those 2 would have been certainties.
