[Headache in a Suitcase]

I for one am shocked... SHOCKED... that interference is making broad judgments on very little information

I guess this might be the brand partnership of u2's Super bowl commercial. You can read the full article here: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/12/arts/music/beats-music-enters-online-streaming-market.html?smid=tw-nytimesmusic&seid=auto&_r=1

This looks very interesting, and potentially a hell of a marketing campaign if true:

• Beats promotes their launch in a Superbowl ad. Huge chunk of America and ROW watching.
  
• Beats premiers world exclusive new U2 song for new U2 album.
  
• Ad directs users to Beats website to download new U2 song for free.
  
• Millions of U2 fans visit the website to download song, as do many music enthusiasts to check out the website.
  
• Ongoing Beats TV spots feature new U2 song, kinda like what Apple did for Vertigo and vice versa

Well, regardless of barely being able to hear the music, as a lover of ambient, these clips are hot shit.

 

[LemonMelon]

Can we cut the creepy stalker girl out of the first clip?

As far as I know, Beats Music will be a streaming-only service, but they could still have a U2 exclusive that gets people to sign up for the 30-day free trial.

Actually it does sound a little like this:

If this is true, it will be a bit of a relief, as U2 will not be shilling for cars or some beer company, but something that actually has to do with music. There's no actual "product". Which is why I didn't really have a problem with the iTunes/iPod ads they did with Vertigo.

It certainly won't make them look as bad as we may have been suspecting.

I can't tell if people on this site are serious or just taking the piss anymore.

 

[purpleoscar]

It only sounds a little like it Princess of China but with the little I can hear from the clip there's some other cool stuff going on. Princess of China doesn't have enough layers.

We?

Seriously, this is so much better than the idea of U2 doing an advertisement for their own album. The only bands that do that are like...30 Seconds to Mars.

 

[Danny Boy]

I think Pearl Jam did a TV ad for Yield.

ETA: Yep.

Pearl Jam Yield Television Commercial - YouTube

Oh that is deliciously awful.

 

[youarenotimmune]

We're getting hangar clips now instead of beach clips.

If that isn't a sign of a radical shift in musical direction by the band, I don't know what is

 

[Airseven]

Oh wow if the new U2 record is half as good as Yield, we're in for a treat!!

 

[Roland of Gilead]

Exciting times! I'm staying away from these clips though. I'm ready for a Seahawks Super Bowl and some new U2.

U2 plays together for 1st time in years for #JP/HRO Haiti benefit. Happening now. Awesome

I guess recording a new album doesn't count anymore?

 

[chrissybaby]

On stage now apparently? Full band.

 

[dan_smee]

Wonder what they're playing?

 

[ouu2fan23]

Read on atu2 twitter that is was desire full band.

 

[dan_smee]

Boo - desire getting too much air time. Play something interesting!

 

[SecretFly]

Heres a youtube link....still can't really hear it though lol.

U2 New Song 2014 "Invisible" from Barker Hanger (less hiss in this version) - YouTube

 

[Galeongirl]

So now they just ran along with the "invisible" title when we don't even know that is confirmed? Awesome.



All we know for now is Donkey Punch. The songs on the album are still unknown.

 

[discothequeLP]

Can we cut the creepy stalker girl out of the first clip?

but...there's a rock and roll legend....in her BACKYARD

 

[DoctorMacPhisto]

Oh boy, haven't been on here in a while. Happened to check back today and saw shit was hitting the fan. Bout damn time!

 

[last unicorn]

PLEBA has pictures up. Wow, what a surprise. Whole band. According to @u2 they played Desire, Vertigo and a cover of Hallelujah:

I'm over the oooooooos and aahhhhhhhs

Maybe those were just Bono's reactions to being smacked on the ass by that girl three times.
