SOE 19: Back To The Studio Part II

[BVS]

So it's not an inappropriate reaction to wonder why this claim was not delivered on.

I don't think anyone is arguing that, at least I'm not.

I'm just saying the idea that it can't be 'Songs of' because it didn't come within that timeframe is ridiculous. The idea that there's a window for sequels or artistic concepts is dumb.

Bono lies.

Bono lies.

Well, you could be right.

His name was Robert Paulson

This wins the thread.

Now I'm hungry for Meatloaf. And I'm not talking about the food

Just curious but was Meatloafs plan always to release a follow up and it got delayed or did it just come to him years later?

U2 touring Brazil in October is looking very likely now.

Gotta get that new album out.....

 

[Hollow Island]

U2 should ditch the Songs of...title scheme. It'll just remind people if SOI. They should pretend it doesn't exist.

Nah. The IE tour was very well received. As long as the music and release method is cool, then I don't know if it'll matter that it's the Songs of theme.

 

[womanfish]

As much as i think the band would be ok to call it SOE, and i think it will be... I kinda think it would be cool to ditch it and go with something completely different.
Maybe another one word title. Just something bold, and straightforward, yet leaving the most room for interpretation.

Darn.

Shucks

In theory, if these shows are happening in October, then May would probably be a good time to announce them. So perhaps in May U2 will announce the album, announce the ROW tour dates, and play a new song or two on the opening night of JT.

OR... nothing will happen. U2 will play South America and Australia as part of the innocence and experience tour, but still no SOE!

 

[superchuk5]

They should just call the album Songs of Mullen (Jr.)

 

[Hewson]

Shucks

Corn

 

[Axver]

Songs of Larry Mulling Jar.

 

[Iggy Fizz]

If they ditch the SOE moniker/theme then all hell will break loose.

'U2 are once again breaking promises'
'U2 once again lost their nerve'
'U2 once again distracted by lack of confidence and too many producers'

etc etc etc

for better or worse they should stick to the SOE title and theme; as long as the music holds up then all will be OK...

nobody outside of here would care. it's not like the general music listening public cares what U2 call their album. Kanye publicly changed the title of his last album a few times.

Hey if they keep making up a rumour every other week its bound to be right eventually...

I'm assuming they mean Red Hill Mining Town. But that ended up not being released as a single right?

Possibly, but I don't think the 2017 mix of Red Hill is being released as a single is it?

 

[kabigon]

It's a RSD release.

This is the kind of picture that makes you realize why Bono detractors want to punch him in the face.
