FixYougirl Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 They're the pictures I've taken before the Elysée the previous day of the concert. I'd heard on TV that he was to meet the president that's why i got there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HBK-79 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I saw U2 in Rome earlier this month. It was my very first concert outside North America. I heard the new song Mercy for the first time. Hopefully, it will be on their next album, which is rumoured to came out next year!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crests Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 They're coming here, my teacher was freaking out. I would go but I'm not a big enough fan and I bet it'd be 2759837698437692 dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denise Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I saw U2 in Rome earlier this month. It was my very first concert outside North America. I heard the new song Mercy for the first time. Hopefully, it will be on their next album, which is rumoured to came out next year!:) I was in Rome too, after seeing them on the first European date it was awesome to be on the very last as well. I freaked out when they played Mercy, I loved that song since it first leaked, and even tough I knew they had played it in the previous gigs, I still hadn't heard the "new" revisited version, which I really like (but I like the original more). It was a very emotional gig for us italian fans, they really have a special place here and we wanted them to know :nice: a few pics Part of the coreography and now I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the rumours about them closing the tour next year in Dublin, I'm sooo gonna be there if it's true :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deaths_friend Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 U2 are set to release a new album in "early 2011", according to their manager Paul McGuinness. McGuinness revealed that the follow-up to 2009's 'No Line On The Horizon', which is provisionally titled 'Songs Of Ascent', would arrive before the band's North American tour in May. "I would expect a new U2 album sooner than anybody thinks," he told the Irish Times. "I would guess early 2011 before the next leg of the American tour, which starts in May." hope this is true.

MrMagpie Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I've long suspected a February or March release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjaiken Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 I actually liked NLOTH a lot, but it wasn't very much fun because the album was not well received (relative to other U2 albums). I hope the new album is a move back toward mainstream success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Final Track Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Don't know if this has been posted yet but... http://www.nme.com/news/u2/53513 U2 recruit Danger Mouse to produce new album Band also reveal plans to record a 'club' LP and concept album based on their 'Spider-Man' musical U2 frontman Bono has revealed that Danger Mouse is working on their forthcoming album. The record, which is tentatively titled 'Songs Of Ascent' and is due out next year according to the band's manager Paul McGuinness , has been produced by the Gnarls Barkley and Broken Bells man, otherwise known as Brian Burton. "We have about 12 songs with him," Bono told Theage.com. "At the moment that looks like the album we will put out next, because it's just happening so easily." The singer also revealed that the band are currently working on two other albums, the first of which is a "club" record featuring Lady Gaga collaborator RedOne, Black Eyed Peas' Will.i.am and David Guetta. "U2's remixes in the 1990s were a real treasure," he said. "So we wanted to make a club sounding record. We have a pile of songs." The band are also hoping to make a concept album based on songs Bono and guitarist The Edge have written for their Spider-Man musical, which opens on Broadway next month. "We haven't convinced the rest of the band to do that yet," added the singer. "[Drummer] Larry [Mullen Jr] definitely has a raised eyebrow."

bjaiken Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Working with Danger Mouse and on a club record. Hard for me to say anything because I haven't heard it yet, but I can't say I'm crazy about the idea. I may be in the minority, but I wouldn't mind if U2 made albums like ATYCLB and HTDAAB for the rest of their career. They really have nothing left to prove. If they were to go in any direction, I would prefer it to be a more somber or dark album. Working with flashy producers and pop stars doesn't sound right for a group of aging rock stars. I love Larry. He always tries to put the brakes on Bono's crazy ideas. I always get the feeling that Larry is telling Bono, "Can't we just be a rock band."

I love the classics, but we need more songs like The Fly and Zoo Station. The Rick Rubin songs should be released....I would LOVE to hear what those songs sound like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
