I am guessing 2008!

Probably 2008. Back In Australia around 2015. Cant wait

bono_man2002 · 12-01-2006, 12:24 AM

Depends when the new album is out...

If its Late '07, you would say 2008 Tour
If its early/late 2008 you would say end 2008/early 2009....

If the aussie dollar stays fine and dandy they'll be back much sooner than 2015.

Ok 2013

Here's my optimistic prediction:

Late 2007: New album
Early 2008: Tour's 1st leg, North America
Mid 2008: Tour's 2nd leg, Europe
Late 2008: Tour's 3rd leg, North America
Early 2009: Tour's 4th leg, Latin America, Oceania, and Japan

For the pessimistic prediction, make everything a year later and remove the fourth leg.

That assumes they get right back to work on the new album.

I'm trending toward the pessimistic on this one. It was four years between ATYCLB and HTDAAB and I think it's going to be four years between HTDAAB and the new one. Especially since we've gotten the book, U218 and all the other products.

The only reason to do an album in 2007 is that it would be the band's 30th anniversary -- and maybe that is a good reason.

right, but when does the 4 year clock start ticking? Dec. 10? Or from the end of the shows in March of '06? I'd like to think we've already chopped 9 months off of that 4 year cycle.

maycocksean · 12-01-2006, 01:12 AM

ATYCLB came out in 2000, HTDAAB in 2004. Four years regardless of touring in between albums.

Seems like a 2008 prediction wouldn't be unreasonable.

After seeing the Chicago DVD I was worried that they wouldn't be touring very much longer.

After seeing them live this past Weds night I think maybe we've got a lot to look forward to.

I don't see how that logic holds. You might as well say "well, there was only a year between War and UF, so the next album will come out in 1985!" or "there were four years between Zooropa and Pop that included a soundtrack side project, so now that we've had the Million Dollar Hotel soundtrack, U2's next album won't be out until 2001!"

In any case, HTDAAB was originally meant to come out in 2003 and it would have done so if the band had been happy with the Chris Thomas sessions.

I don't yet see need for 2008 pessimism.

u2stratocaster · 12-01-2006, 02:49 AM

Agreed, if u've read the book 4 years isnt necessarily standard. HTDAAB was meant to come out much sooner. and how quick did they knock up Achtung through to Pop, and after that it was only 2 years for ATYCLB.

I personally think they've got an album under way from the sounds of things with all of Bono's talk on playing piano. 2008 is realistic, even 2007. But i am being a bit too hopeful there....

I think we will at least see another 2-3 albums. Seems like they feel they've still got heaps to prove, dont kno why. But i guess we can't complain if it means more albums

Alisaura · 12-01-2006, 03:38 AM

I've written to Principle Management to make a booking, and I'll be expecting the boys to be doing a club tour of Melbourne in February.

See you all there!

Bono in Melb · 12-01-2006, 03:53 AM

The Edge said he didn't want to do any more big tours anymore because of family.

I am guessing the way Bono said good night to Melbourne at their last gig, it is the last time we will ever see U2 play in Australia again.

What a way to go out.
