Mysterious Ways: Rotterdam, June 15, 1992 Moment of Surrender

Re. the new album: Yeah, unless something has changed in the last few days, I don't think the band have even set a release date yet. Any speculation at this point would just be a logical guess. They might try to avoid another spring release. But I'm sure they as much as we would not want to wait...

I wish that were true. But sadly, the internet grants people a degree of anonymity that allows them to say things they wouldn't normally say in "real life." Everyone can regulate him/herself to some degree, but that's sometimes thrown out the window when there are no "real" personal...

Can we get more mods, if possible, please? As hard as people try, it's going to be hard to police ourselves, especially if sometimes we can't tell from our own perspectives what's appropriate and what's not. I'm a regular lurker (rarely a poster) on several other online forums, and I have to...

That FNAC announcement has got to be fake. I don't think even the band knows when the album will be released, judging by what Bono and, more recently, Larry said. NLOTH was a decent album from a band still capable of putting out some interesting material, though it's not exactly innovative. I...

There's still no certainty that they won't delay, and I'm not saying that it's 100% impossible. But Bono at least seems to have gone to some length to prepare for an album release late this year. Delaying isn't something he or the rest of the band would do lightly, especially now that other...

If Bono thinks that there is a chance that the album could come in early 2014, and season 8 of Gay Byrne was in late 2013, there would likely be no conflict between publicity for either. According to Wikipedia, season 5: Jan 2012 season 6: Oct. 2012 season 7: Jan. 2013 Gay Byrne releases two...

I think I may be one of the most cynical people on this site, but I think there is no reason they'd wait until 2014. As has already been said, it's telling that Bono would urge Gay Byrne to broadcast his episode outside of the regular seasoned schedule. They both know this would be a major...

Probably for the Tour de France, that is.

Oh, I am so sorry! :( Having never had a dog, I can't relate, but I can only imagine how painful that must be.

Your reaction to lyrics would depend on what state of mind you're in. For example, I usually don't care much for MOS, except on the occasion when I happen to be feeling down when I hear the song and think at that moment the lyrics are pure poetry. And then a day later MOS doesn't sound so great...

He could have said one of two things: "I'm not saying" or, "No, that's just a rumor." But he said the former, so...

They should play the album in full on the next tour.

For a second, I read the author as Stephenie Meyer.

Good point. Pearl, do they really say that to your face? Because if so, then wow.

Actually, I heard it from my fish first, who has been talking to my dog. But then, that would be even less credible. The point being, we can wisely conclude that Chris Martin is featured on the new album.

This is making me optimistic. The lyrics better be good!

It seems that nowadays dressing like a nerd is considered cool! Hipster "trends" make no sense.

I thought it was Adam's job to make tea. Is this implying that Chris Martin has taken over bass on the album? EDIT: It's true. Martin is doing vocals, piano, and bass on the new album. I heard it from my dog's groomer's cousin's neighbor who has talked to Bono in France recently. Bono is...

Interesting. They're probably just going on the internet rumors because most people who are not hardcore U2 fans would not have heard about any of this, so it would sound like news to them.

I hate hipsters sometimes. That one lone naysayer who ridicules the opinion of the masses (that's me sometimes) or that person who likes something obscure and mentions it every chance they get. It's fine if you genuinely think differently but don't act like it makes you cooler or smarter than...

This is ridiculous. The parody tracklist has gotten out of control 47 pages ago and has spread to other fan forums. When I first saw the "Manhattan" tracklist post, I chuckled... and kept scrolling. There are really people here who take it so seriously?! It was clearly a joke. And even those who...

She was even more specific than Blackwell, who retracted his tweet. Although it's possible he had second thoughts on his own without the band's disapproval.

Randomly popping in here just to say: Don't try to resist, joyfulgirl. I'll be there in St. Louis. :wave:
