yeah, my money is on Edge actually.
My money is on Larry, he's embarrassed about the botched facelift and doesn't want to go out on stage.

Anyone have a working link for The Best Thing? Haven't listened to it in a couple weeks and wanted to give it another go.

Seriously!!! You can't be a source if your post count is too high. Slow it down folks.
If it's Edge, and it's about him not being able to let the song go, then that's the most promising option. To me it implies less that they're unhappy/unconfident in the material, and more that he just wants to take advantage of all the time he can before it absolutely has to be released. He/the band do that for every album, and as he said, "u2 albums don't get finished, they just get released".
The U2 play would be to drop the single this week, probably Friday, let it sink in a little. Play it next Friday at iHeart. Announce the album, have the album drop end of October, do some promo work, sell the tickets around Thanksgiving / Christmas time, and then start the tour in the spring.
That is standard operating procedure for this band in the pre-Songs of Innocence era, and I think after the backlash from the SOI release, they'll fall back to what's worked for them in the past.
If this doesn't happen, and we here nothing... then for only knows when the album and tour will take place.
I think that this is possible as well... that they'll do a one off. But I think the most likely scenario is to jump in now.possible, but I also think the NLOTH "model" here is doable too. Push it back from Q4 to Q1, media takeovers (Letterman - probably Fallon this time, BBC - probably not after the U2=BBC backlash), etc.
I sort of think the iHeart gig forces them to release a single. Maybe they'll convince that fourth band member, whether it's Larry or Edge, to release it this year, and I will be wrong. But I dunno.
