I highly, highly doubt it.
ummmmmm no way!
I highly, highly doubt it.
Hey, look, a leaked demo version of Miracle Drug...!
Well, if the prank was to make us that it was the new big song, I would assume it fooled absolutely no one. The track may have been recorded in 2009 or yesterday, in Hanover Quay, New Jersey, or on Paradise Island, but it's an early U2 demo. No more and no less.

Just going by the tone of Bono's voice here, it sure sounds like sometime within the past year. Neither clip sounds even remotely similar to the Anaheim soundcheck, but I would bet they're from a soundcheck during the 2011 leg. East Lansing, MI perhaps? . It's an IEM recording without the click.
The clips are U2 working on new material. I’m not offering any further detail. Hypothesize, downplay, doubt and speculate as much as you want. I am not planning to post any other clips.
Now you're just teasing.Blue Room said:Moving on.
I can’t believe this thread even exists. The day after I posted the clips here and found people were taking it serious (IE that they may be specifically for the new album.) I explained the nature and context of my post and had the clips deleted by the Mods. Go back and read through that thread. Honestly that should have been the end of it IMO. I’m not a newbie here, why would I come here and try to perpetuate some huge elaborate hoax? I wouldn’t and I didn’t. Thanks for the negativity at me by some, you did not read or understand the context and my explanation in the other thread obviously or simply chose to ignore it. I posted a shorter clip of the same on another site previously with almost no reaction. So it was not even a new clip to the net!

Why on earth would I at this point? It appears by some of the recent posts it would bore a lot of you anyway. It is not Melbourne 97 after all!
Moving on.
Guys! He said the clips are U2 working on new material. New when? It could have been them working on new material back whenever. He did explicitly state in his most recent post that he had attempted to explain and rectify the situation by having them taken down "after people were taking it serious (IE that they may be specifically for the new album.)"
In other words, he never said they were clips of U2 working on new material FOR THE SPECIFIC NEW U2 ALBUM CURRENTLY BEING TALKED ABOUT AND WHEN PEOPLE STARTING ASSUMING THAT, HE TOOK STEPS TO ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THAT
If I've misunderstood you Blue Room, my apologies, but that is how I understood your initial joke then, and your explanation now. And why I didn't bother jumping all over it!
Context is everything.
gvox, he hasn't clarified whether they're from "new new material" or "old new material" though has he??
and by saying today that he won't post "any more clips" it sounds like he's implying there's more where they came from...
i think he's just trying to throw the cat among the pigeons...
Thanks for the support. Appreciate it.

you watched this place go up in flames, had the links deleted, said it was a joke, but evaded all questions over the source of the files...
it's as clear as mud to me, so why should i offer you my support? i don't really care either way...
you wind people up because you refuse to clarify, that's all... and then come back all innocent and hurt
and by saying
you're implying there are other clips which you won't post here now boo hoo dot com
Ok, there are no more clips. Does that make you happy?
If you don't care, why do you keep posting your negativity?
Up in flames? Now THAT is melodramatic. I do not check this place out that much any longer. Once every couple of days at the most and I do not check every forum.
thanks! but why imply that there are then??
that's the definition of trolling to me...
and yeah i didn't care either way whether they were real or not - i'm old enough to take these things with a pinch of salt, but i'm only giving you grief because i think you've been pretty out of order and a bit dishonest actually, especially by reigniting it all with your earlier post today...

I don't understand. I haven't seen a lot of people theorizing that the clips were specifically for the new album. What just about everyone concluded was that it was U2 jamming on some ideas. We wondered as to when it might be from, but no one thought it was the new single. It's just a jam.
What confuses me is you say that we've made some kind of mistake by thinking the band was working on material for the new album... and then say it's U2 working on new material. Um. Okay. It's U2 writing. No one knows what if anything will come out of it. I guess I'm not understanding the leap. Unless you think we thought it was the new single, the clips are apparently exactly what most of us assumed....
You shared clips of U2 writing. We thought it was U2 writing.

Great, report me to the mods, clearly I'm a troll here. Your responses are anything but taking it with a pinch of salt.
No, I was dishonest trying to placate you. Otherwise I tried to clarify the clips right away as much as I need to in the original thread as I pointed out and why I posted again here. I think you may be confused in that I owe you something. I dont.
My mistake then, because when I saw the other thread back when this happened that is what it appeared people were thinking. So I clarified. So I attempted to again here. I did not read through this whole thread so maybe you are correct.
I guess it is all about semantics and context. What you think of as "new" material and what you don't. I have no problem with it either way.
But, I did not reply here to stir things up or troll as I have been accused of. There are so many things I could have done to really stir it up if that was my intention. Instead I tried to clarify again.
