Hi!

It looks like that they did play a new song in New York last night....

Here's an article from NME.com......

U2 - 'Gangs' mentality
NEW 2!

U2 have premiered a brand new song at a NEW YORK FILM FESTIVAL.
The Irish group have been working on a selection of new tracks over the summer, with a view to releasing a new album next year. Plans are also underfoot for a 'Greatest Hits' compilation, although it is unclear when it will see release.

The band performed the new song 'Hands That Built America' via satellite from Ireland to the 15,000 delegates at the Tribeca Film Festival on Monday (May 13).

MTV news reports that the track will feature in the forthcoming Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro film 'Gangs Of New York'.

I quite like the sound of the song's title....I dont have MTV at my home but wonder if anyone had heard it or seen this performance? If any of you did, what are your thoughts? Any good?

'Hands That Built America' on 'Gangs Of New York Sound Track'?

What about 'A Man Is A Man'?

Does that mean they'll both be on the sound track or is 'A Man Is A Man' just a wild rumour?

MTV sucks
if anything they will edit out any musical content and replace it with a cheesy gameshow

Tonight could be the big night. Hopefully they will show the video. I guess we can only hope.

I sure hope so. I will be watching. I can't wait.

Sharky - Thanks so much for the tip. After watching the news clip of Bono signing to the African kids, I'm in dire need of some more fresh, new U2 music.

That sucks that this is only a half-hour show. I doubt they'll play the new song.
