Jim said:Thanks for the information interference.com. Credit to the folks that run this site, they wouldn't make an empty statement 'cos they respect the fans and will hold of on information until it's been validated, which is why this site has credibility!
Unlike, say, REM's official site, U2.com is not the place where we will hear things first, we all know that. Official announcements will be delayed till the last minute.
Also, let's not jump onto people that claim to have heard the latest and greatest news, there will always be bullshitters, but give respect without responding with lame comments along the lines of, "Oh apparently Edge's cousin said it would be 2014 .."
I met Paul McGuinness by chance in October and he was confident that the new U2 album would be out at Easter this year....obviously plans have changed since then, but at that time, that was about as credible or 'official' as I could see so I shared it here. That information is now incorrect but doesn't mean it wasn't 'true' at the time...
Don't be surprised if, particularly at this late stage alot of these 'rumours' turn out to become reality..
Reggie Thee Dog said:A couple of things I would like to comment on:
1) I've been coming to Interference since its inception in, hmmm, was it 1996 Elvis? Elvis is very trustworthy and has always been on the cutting edge of U2 info. I don't believe he would have posted this if it were not a complete possibility.
2) In all my years (over 20) of being a U2 fan have I ever seen them tour an album for more than one year. Zoo TV came close, but they dropped Zooropa in the middle of it. My guess, and it is completely a guess, is that they will tour for a full year, hitting AustralAsia, and South America
3) If this album rocks like it's been reported too, then I think it will be a huge hit and they will have to tour the US and European Stadiums.
Please, please someone explain to me why this (playing stadiums) is such a bad thing? I've seen U2 in the Arenas, and Stadiums and their show does not suffer in either venue. Sure it's a personal preference, but it's not going to be the downfall of a great band if they wish to reach a broader audience. Give Stadiums a chance, they're fun shows.
bonosloveslave said:I could probably find this out with some searching but I bet someone knows off the top of their heads - were any of their other tours that long? Was that what the Zoo TV comment was about, or was that in reference to the arenas --> stadiums? 18 months just sounds really long (not that I'm complaining mind you )
