Meh. Edge has a good voice, but Bono's is much better in my opinion, especially as a lead singer.
I've certainly had some fun reading this thread from beginning to end. Here's what I can add. I'm FB friends with the person you guys are talking about. He posted on FB last night NOT that he was at a listening party, but that Bono was playing the record for him one-on-one, as in, personal and private. This is a person Bono knows by face, if not by name. He's been on stage numerous times because Bono can spot him easily (he's got unique features that not many people at the front rail do not have). It would not surprise me at all for him to invte him for some personal time.
My personal thoughts on why he won't share more details: He values all the connections that he has and wants to make sure he doesn't jeopardize something like this not happening in the future. I would do the same thing; even though I'd want to share with all my friends, I'd care more about Bono inviting me for some personal time in the future. I wouldn't do anything to ruin that.
This doesn't mean that the second source is incorrect. If he doesn't care about irking U2 by spreading some info about a track listing, there are obviosly bonus points to be had in the U2 fan community to share it and be a hero.
yesss that's who i thought it was!!

If it's who I think it is, I'm kind of wondering why Romi practically singled him out with that description.
ETA: And I'm really not sure why people are trying to guess who it is. Just enjoy the stream of info?
I'm not sure why it was necessary to post a picture of him.
A fan heard the album, and a probably bogus album title/track listing was leaked. Nothing to get worked up over, but it's happening anyway.
This thread was started yesterday and it already has 14 pages, so did something exciting happen? I haven't been keeping up.
People who know and respect this source refuse to name him, so we post his photo? That makes me feel a little icky...
Well, it's a public pic from U2.com, it's not a photograph from his family's album.
I don't understand which is the problem.
The point was that the person did not want to be identified... regardless of where whatever photos came from or not. Apparently some people (i.e. you) can't simply respect that one request.
Yes, the new album is going to be called 'The Manhattan Project' (project 051 + Manhattan = ) and there are 11 songs, half of which have weird names, the other half are drug influences with reggae beats. Oh, and Chris martin is still a dork in 2030.
That was never mentioned, the only thing we knew is that he didn't want to share more information than the new music "sounds awesome".
You are making a big story from nothing.
