Official U2.Com: Where The Album Has A Name, "No Line On The Horizon"

[Rosebud]

On the other hand, they should be releasing the single the beginning of next month, i.e. the 3rd (almost exactly 2 months before the album release), and U2 Day on Q seems like a logical idea for release.

Anything could happen.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Seeing as the fast few days have been quiet compared to some days they gotta announce something next week.

 

[LemonMelon]

I'll change my tune if they do.

Shit...why am I trusting U2.com for info all of a sudden? I feel dirty.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Who shall we trust?

 

[dan_smee]

Trust no-one....

I am starting to feel a bit uneasy about the lack of name confirmation, and airplay dates...

Surely if they are going with soon we should know by now? xmas is over, doesnt take line to post someonthing on the site saying, "oh, by the way, first single is GYBO, and itll drop on radio Jan 4, btw you can watch it Jan 3 on QTV for a preview. Video debuts on MTV on Jan 9. whats the harm?

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I feel uneasy too, I keep on saying this but they need to announce it real soon.

 

[bathiu]

relax I think they're taking the "we want 2009 to be our year" thing really seriously...
I'll start to feel uneasy with no news in the second week of January

And I'm saying that you can just skip or not include the song. Are you going to complain when someone gives you 11 dollars when you only needed 10? Of course not, just use the ten and keep the extra one for whatever.

But I can reiterate this in caps if you want.

I CAN'T HEAR YOOOOOOOOU!!!!

 

[PowerSurge]

^ i think you are again missing his point though... He won't have the song, and will have to import a version to get it. There is no point putting it on at all if you want a cohesive ALBUM, you should just make it a b-side. They are trying to move away from the 'collection of songs' mentality. If it fits the theme, and it belongs on the disc, why would they not give it to everyone.

BINGO!!!

(i think my caplock is stuck)

 

[PowerSurge]

Ah, I see. Let me see if I can get this straight then.

Bonus track for everyone = alright.
Bonus track only for certain parts of the world = not alright.

I can understand being frustrated if it's like that.

 

[PowerSurge]

I wonder why we get into these pointless conversations and trying too hard to work out things that are best left alone to the professionals.

because we haven't gotten a damn album yet!!!!!!

 

[bathiu]

multi-quoting is your friend ps333, don't be afraid of it

 

[U2girl]

it wouldn't make sense to release a Christmas song in January.

Q were the first to do a photo shoot of the "new U2". Who's to say they didn't snatch the exclusive for the first single video showing too ?

It would make the magazine look exquisitly stupid to say "we will show u2's videos, ending with their latest release" only to show a video that's been around since early December.

 

[U2girl]

Despite the pricier CDs in some markets excuse, U2's been doing fine without bonus songs on their albums pre-Pop. If it's meant to be a part of the experience, put it on all versions.

Seems strange that a band of U2's standing would release its first new song in 5 years on a magazine website. Singles are usually released by radio, or sometimes a band's own website (Coldplay, Killers). Giving that much importance to Q makes no sense to me...bc it limits the audience.

I expect an announcement from U2 about a new single in the next 5 days or so, with a quick turnaround for its release (say 10 days) via radio or the free version of U2.com
