"That's why we're here in the studio, in New York."
Well I guess that settles that argument.

Quite interresting that some people AND U2 themself, would suggest that S.A./Mexico/Oceania fans base would be more open to new music from the band than the U.S/Canada/Europe market.
Not surprised though. I've always been of the opinion that America was Pop's biggest problem.

i don't think that's what the band was suggesting at all... i think they were suggesting that "hey, we haven't played there in a while, and we just played here, so we'll start there"
Here's the quote... So maybe the SOE album and tour (starting somewhere other than the US or Europe) will land sooner than expected after all.
"I can't wait for these shows. I wish there were more of them. Originally there were going to be 10, then it was 20 because we had to go to Europe. But there are so many places in the world we didn't get to and that sucks. But, we will get to you when Songs Of Experience is out, which won't be too long."
My prediction:
May - August: The Joshua Tree Tour
September - October: Songs of Experience release + promotional tour
November: Tour announcement
February 2018: Songs of Experience Tour begins
This. The question is, how many more shows will they do for the Innocence And Experience tour considering they have already done 75?
I guess this is how they will finish out the decade. Songs Of Ascent will get released sometime early next decade, the early 20s.
Yeah, very interesting to see how long the Experience part of the tour goes. And a bigger question... will this still be considered a part of the first tour? Would ticket totals be combined with the 2015 tour if it continues under the same name, even though it will have been 2.5 years with another tour in the middle? hmmmm...
I doubt it will be a part of the first tour. A different name is very likely.
That would be rather silly. Even for U2.
I think they(especially Bono) wants to see this concept through. It's a solid artistic concept, and it should be done right.
I've stated this before but I'll say it again. I think JT30 was a chance to get them in stadiums again, and possibly a way to intro SOE. Then they release SOE and wrap up the iE tour. They then release SOA without tour. Then in a few years have a farewell tour.
I'm okay with all of that. 2 more albums, 3 more tours (JT, SOE, Farewell)... I think that's about the best we can hope for at this point.
Nah, you gotta have your farewell tour every single year like Cher does. Big money in that.I don't think we'll ever get a "farewell tour". I think they'll always record, until they don't. I think they'll tour, til they can't. But I don't think it'll ever be a "here's your last chance everyone!" Kind of situation.

I would also be surprised if they released an album without touring.
Once upon a time, I believe a majority here would be surprised if they toured without releasing an album. But then everyone got collective amnesia about things from the past and decided its perfectly normal.

Errrrmahgawd ve're all sheeples!Once upon a time, I believe a majority here would be surprised if they toured without releasing an album. But then everyone got collective amnesia about things from the past and decided its perfectly normal. Lemmings.
I wonder what this album will sound like. A mix of SOI/HTDAAB ?
that's probably a good guess.. I'd hazard the song writing will be in the same vein but the production may be a little more dynamic, less noisy.

Yeah with Lee and Lillywhite, I would say this is not a bad assumption. My two hopes are that the sessions with Thomas and Barlow are not completely lost. I was really hoping to see what their influence could bring.
And two, I'm hoping for cohesion. SOI was the most cohesive for me in a long time. But i hope to get a "feeling" from this album. You got sort of transported to a place in time with JT, AB, and Zooropa. In sections of NLOTH, although the album was so disjointed.
I never got it from Bomb at all and not much from ATYCLB...
Atyclb for me is a college album, as I was just starting college when it was released. I connected deeply with this album. It was a transitional time in my life, more questions than answers, the journey was just beginning. So for me, in that context, atyclb is a very cohesive album. Plus it was nice to have U2 be "cool" again.
HTDAAB I really didn't connect with at all. It came at a time when my first priority was going out drinking with friends, and playing in my band. It's the U2 album I listen to the least. I have friends that loved that album and at least one friends says it's his favorite.
The listening experience is all what you make it. I actually don't find Joshua Tree to be all that great of an album. I definitely like it, but would rank it somewhere in the middle of U2's work.
ATYCLB was the experience through college (community for me, but would visit pals at the university on weekends). Just seemed to really fit the time and mood of my life. Even if it was a return for the band, it seemed fresh compared to everything else out there at the time.
Bomb was me getting into the dating scene haha
