I found the following quote in a portuguese fansite:

"Próximo single de HTDAAB

A musica «A Man and a Woman» é o próximo single de avanço do album How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb e estará em breve a tocar nas rádios de todo o mundo.
¤ publicado às 10:24 AM"

Traduction: "Next single from HTDAAB

the song «A Man and a Woman» is the next single extracted from the album HTDAAB and sooner it'll be playing the radios around the globe"

It doesn't have a source, and I didn't find any other information - or even rumour - in any other site.
So, attending this and the rumours about a new album and the 007 soundtrack, it leads me to think that this must be false. What do you think?
 
its a great song but i wouldnt make it a single. doubt they would make it the 7th single from bomb though , that be wrong.
 
That song should be a single. I don't think there's a song U2's ever recorded that needs to be heard outside the walls as much as that one.
 
I'd doubt that AMAAW would be the single if they are doing any at all (which I doubt). It has received mixed feelings. I find it average. They'd probably go with Miracle Drug or Love and Peace as the next one.

I thought they only had 5 singles from Bomb, vaz... - Vertigo, SYCMIOYO, COBL, ABOY, and OOTS.

They are in the studio to work on ideas they had during HTDAAB, and they've said that already.

lol my bad , dont know why i said 7th lol.

if they are to do LPOE i hope they make it a live cover with a live video, who's gonan ride ya wild horses style.
 
it does scream James Bond, doesn't it?

also, this one is supposed to be set in the Caribbean, right? it's got a sultry feel to it -- it might make sense.

though it would disappoint me.

I know. I was trying my best to be pessimistic.

Miracle Drug is lame and shouldve been a B-side. L&P would be a good choice... a year ago.

Id say release Crumbs if anything. The When I Look At The World of this album.
 
I love that song too much for them to release it. Dont do it u2!
 
I just don't think they will release a 6th single. IMO it would be a big mistake to milk HTDAAB out in such a way.

But if they're really gonna release A Man And A Woman, I wouldn't be amazed if it would do good in the charts. It's a song that has some kind of summer feeling.
 
I just don't think they will release a 6th single over 18 months since the album's release. Have they done that before? If U2 had wanted AMAAW out the door, they wouldn't let a whole year go by with just COBL and OOTS. Likely a fake,

OR

A Man And A Woman has become attatched to a movie soundtrack and they want to publicize it.

it does, but i'm pretty sure most bond songs are originals



good point, but Bono does as Bono wants.

i don't think this is true, but i wouldn't be shocked if it were true.

i'm not totally opposed to the song either. i think it's easily Edge's weakest moment on the album (though that's like pointing out Roger Federer's weakest shot in tennis ... so it's not like it's bad), and arguably the weakest song on the album, but it actually has Bono's best lyric from the album -- "love and faith and sex and fear/ and all the things that keep us here" -- and i know women who melt when they hear it, so who knows?

i melt when i hear it and im a guy , the song is so sexy lol.
 
Dont think it will have anything to do with Bond as the film isnt realeased until November, and anyway are U2 definately doing the theme song? or is it just rumours.

6th single?

they did it with Pop. :shrug:

The next single should be the Casino Royale song.

It should be Fast Cars-esque and awesome :rockon:

AMAAW is one of U2's worst songs ever.

I think we are done with singles from HTAAB. Plus it was never performed live on the Vertigo Tour, why would they release it as asingle?

Well, following that logic, IGWSHA was performed a couple of times in the beggining of Popmart and it was released to promote a soundtrack...
 
I dont think it would do aswell as say crumbs as a single because its not instantly likeable..as soon as the general public hears crumbs they wil decide whether they like it or not, and will no straight away its a u2 song. But a man and a woman isnt like alot of their songs, and i dont think it would be a hit. Not straight away anyway
