I thought that Larry was only speaking about the fact that he hadn't been involved in the drums and was going in to give some "professional help" because the drums only consisted of Eno tapping it on his chest (I would pay extra to hear that. Funny stuff.)

i would have to agree with this. i don't feel like they owe me anything. considering that they're almost 50 and they're still able to make good music is enough to keep me happy. i'm 28 and i already have back pain.

Forget the whole double album thing...14 songs would go a long way to quiet advocates of a U2 "double album"......the fact that it might be only 11 songs would be a shame,I can only think the Spiderman project took up too much of Edge and Bono's time.

If however there are 11 really strong songs and no real clunker...I'll be satisfied

................but if it's a HTAAB situation where we end up hearing songs that were left off the new album that were as good as or better than songs that are on the album........I won't be a happy man

Don't worry about it; nobody on this board is ever happy with U2, you'll not be alone.

According to the Larry quotes they want to quickly send out another album without as big a delay because of the amount of material they have.

Ok. i don't believe in a double..but what is the sense of a dvd by corbjin with the same music of the cd?

shart1780 · 12-26-2008, 01:26 PM

Sounds pretty interested. I'm excited for more news.

I don't really like the lyrics I've heard though. Plus the war theme... I don't want anymore preachy lyrics. I guess it'll all be ok as long as I like the sound though.

Exactly.

I think they're being shrewd here. I remember reading that they have some very different sounding songs that they were contemplating putting on the new album. My guess is that they'll put forth their "safest" 11-12 songs and take the more "experimental" stuff and release it as a "movie soundtrack". That way they can get away with it being more experimental without people saying "U2 put out another crazy experimental album"

does anybody know what happened to the song NORTH STAR, mentioned by lanois some time before?

Wasn't that just a Huttdab outtake?

Sounds like we just got a confirmation of at least some stadium/outdoor shows on this upcoming tour.

Vlad n U 2 · 12-26-2008, 05:10 PM

At least Larry wants another album real soon.

Registered Dude · 12-26-2008, 05:29 PM

^willie williams loved north star if I recall correctly, but it wasnt finished in time for release

U2387 · 12-26-2008, 05:39 PM

Anyone think from the description that Unknown Caller is an updated Exit? A man at the end of his rope, etc. Granted, the description is very thin, probably the least detailed of the track descriptions, but Exit was the 1st thing that came to mind when I read it.

Vlad n U 2 · 12-26-2008, 06:06 PM

Unknown Caller = 21st Century Exit.
