Is that how it's pronounced, or is it just you Pom-haters?

we were in eze on 19 of july and Bono was there. He had some guests in the house, and he played the new songs...new beach songs but as I saw only 1 girl taped it, noone else. we were good girls and we didn't do any disturbing thing. just swimming in the sea and listening the songs and watching bono's dance on the terrace with a glass of wine in his hand the songs are GOOD!! two of them are VERY VERY good!!! they are not finished yet but in some songs you can feel some Marocco there was one song what we heard last year there, but all of the others were very new for us.
it's an unforgettable day.
I don't know what was the number, but we were there last year as well when they play the songs. how lucky we are
the lyrics had changed in that song, I'll check which one was it. but it was the only one from the last year's songs, all ot the other were absolutelly new.
the funniest thing was that the songs were played very loud, we thought we are in a stadion concert and the plus thing was that Bono was singing live with the taped songs so "two Bono" were singing together and sometimes he did some very interesting sound like yeaaaaaa and so on... you can imagine...
and sometimes he did some extremly sexy scream well...yes...the wine...
his guest was an afro american man, he was guite overweight and he was not a young man, but I couldn't recognise who was him. But he had very good voice!!! he was singing with bono, they improvised, they singed together...Bono was singing that do you have my number? and the other man replyed with a very pleasant deep voice. every time Bono was singing this line "do you have my number" we were smiling and whispered that we don't but we would like to have it ... it was fun for us
I don't know...but I think he was not Quincy Jones. this man had more hair than him and was not as old than Quincy. But I really don't know, I didn't see his face clearly. He might be him, but I'm really not sure in it
there was a very big boat near to Bono's house in the sea, and sometimes another man was standing in the terrace and looking in the very big telescope (it's new, Bono and Edge also have one on the terrace), and he was waved to the boat... maybe one of his guest had this boat or yacht or something very expensive thing
we had recording thing (camera) with us but we didn't want to use it. we felt these moments very private for him, and you know...it's his holiday, his house, we were only bathers on the beach and we felt unconfortable to disturbing them and being a bit indiscreet to go to under the terrace and record the songs.
so no picture, not any taped songs

WITS said:Sorry if I haven't been on lately. Anyways, I heard on the radio that the release was in June, although I highly doubt that. Although it was Bono himself who said it...strange. So they are recording their music now? Let's hope it's done sooner rather then later, since Bono did take another day or two to add an extra song into the album

If they've got the first single ready they could release that in June which would be earlier than Vertigo was released I think.

That couldn't make less sense with a November release to release a single that far in advance. I highly doubt you see a single any time before August at the earliest
rihannsu said:
I was just commenting that Bono would more likely have been talking about the release of the single rather than the album release because the first single always comes out before the album. So if he was talking about a June release it would not have been the album. I was only replying to the post by the person who heard the radio report who claimed Bono said something about a June release.

Was it the the new album he was talking about, or was it the remastered albums? Boy, October, and I think War are all being released in June, so that might've been what he was mentioning?
powerhour24 said:If the album is out in October, we'd get a single in August probably, September single for a November release.

Any longtime fans want to remind us of the Dark Ages?

Tim Wallach said:I recall in 1991, I had not heard anything at all since they went away "to dream it all up again".
I realize there were some leaks and some buzz, but I was young and not really paying attention.
My first inkling an album was coming out was when I was reading the paper in front of the TV and the opening guitar strains of the Fly played in front of a dark, flashy, intriguing video. That night, the guitar solo kept spinning through my head until I had to bolt to the store for a cassette single the next day.
It was my most brilliant musical experience ever. Imagine just minding your own business with U2 not even being on your mind for over a year and getting hit with that?
Wow!
