Yep - i remember an aweomse instrumental rock clip that claimed to be No Line on the horizon - It was batshit awesome. Can't remember the band now. Anyone???

I think the band was called Grand Avenue or something.

You don't mean Cedars Of Lebanon? I remember there was an instrumental that claimed to be Cedars Of Lebanon and it sounded awesome indeed. There were members of this site who knew for sure that it was U2, because ''they had trained music ears (or something like that) and it were definitely Edge and Adam playing''.

The Cedars that ended up on the album didn't sound one bit like that instrumental at all of course.

Nah, it was a 45 second full band studio instrumental, really rocky
 
Fast forward to 2:50. It was the 30 seconds from then to 3:20

I think every title suggested before NLOTH was released was suggested to be this song.
 
Apparently, Bono is on holidays with Chris Martin, a picture was posted on twitter.

I guess that means there will be some time of collaboration on the new U2 album. Not sure if I am delighted about this :hmm:
 
Rereading some of that thread and I think it's the same one. Funny to read again.
 
The point of these fake clips is to gain views. And they're certainly succeeding with that. Some people get ad revenues from their videos, so lots of views could gain them cash. The other reason to get a load of views is that you can change the title and description later. So you could upload your own band's video as a new U2 video, gain shitloads of views, then put it back as your own band's video and tah dah. Your unknown band is suddenly super popular because you have so many Youtube views!!!11!!!oneoneone

We should do this with our interference band... :rockon:
 
Sounds like U2 to me. If it's a bar band promoting themselves, I have no idea who they are. So, what was the point? I have no idea who they are.

What band do I search for? Promo fail.
I've seen it before. Someone anonymously posts an instrumental claiming it's band X, a bunch of people start commenting on it because they are so ready for new music from this band, and then another poster comes in and says, sorry guys that my demo, that's weird I don't know why someone thought it was band x but hey if you like that check us out.


When I was playing in a band every single studio playback included an instrumental section, so the engineer could get levels right. Bass drum, high-hat, etc. Vocals layered on last.
Yes, I know how recording works, my point is why would they have someone not in their circle in the studio at that phase in the recording?

But, if it is fake, it's the best sounding U2 fake I've ever heard.
Meh, I think I'd be disappointed if I found out this was on the album.

Ugh! I'm not Chris Martin's biggest fan, so I'm not excited with this idea!

I wonder if the whole band is in France, or just Bono and Chris Martin... And I wonder if it is beach clips time, or they will maintain the "secret" until further announcement
 
YESSSS!!!!!! We can start fighting about who believed that the tracklist was real :| and about who believed that clip was really u2 :|. I didn't believe either one BUT I'm not gonna bitch about the people who did. Bravo everyone :applaud:

:crack: Same. Definitely not looking forward to any collaboration between U2 and him.
