bjaiken Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Very nice review. I have 2 shows coming up on the 360 tour, but I'm just not crazy about stadium shows. I need to find a way into the inner circle so I don't feel miles away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMagpie Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Rumors are the boys will be playing Moncton on July 30th. Announcement expected Monday. Pretty huge news considering the band have never played east of Montreal in Canada (and there is a lot of Canada east of Montreal!!!) Also rumored: Arcade Fire will be opening.

Telepian Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 The saints are coming FT. Green day is my favorite U2 song. My favorite song that U2 actually wrote would be electrical storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest howyousawtheworld Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 U2's new album confirmed for May release date U2 manager Paul McGuinness has confirmed that the new U2 record, their 13th studio album, will be released in May of 2011. Speaking at the Midem music conference in Cannes, France on February 1st 2011, McGuinness spoke about the release date and hinted at how recording sessions have gone. Paul McGuinness is often seen as the fifth member of the Irish rock band, having been teir manager since the band formed more than twenty years ago. The exact release date of the album has not been confirmed, at the time of writing, with McGuinness only stating that it would be during the month of May. Curiously though, Amazon.com have the new album listed for release on the 27th of May 2011. The working title for the album is Songs of Ascent, a title that was thought to be the name of the album on release. However, McGuinness stated in Cannes that this is unlikely to be the final name for the record, according to AtU2.com. The record will is being produced by Dangermouse. McGuinness also stated that the songs have nearly all been completed. Now Bono, The Edge, Larry Mullen Jr and Adam Clayton are applying the final touches to the tracks in their studio in Southern France. By U2 standards, the previous album, No Line on the Horizon achieved low sales figures. According to United World Chart, the 2004 release, How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb more than doubled the sales figures of the last album. The tour, huge in scope and the number of people that the Irish rockers will have played to, began in Barcelona in 2009 with two dates at Camp Nou. By the tour´s end, the group will have played in dozens of cities all over the world, in Europe, Africa, Asia, South America and North America. According to the Billboard Touring Award, 360 was the highest grossing tour worldwide in 2009 and in 2010. The remaining dates of the tour will see U2 play in cities including Johannesburg, Mexico City, Buenos Aires and cities in the United States and Canada. Over the course of the tour global acts such as Jay-Z, Snow Patrol, Kasabian, the Fray and One Republic have played as guests of the band. The band will close the tour on 30 July in Canada, playing at Moncton with The Arcade Fire providing support. The band will undoubtedly play the new album on the rest of the tour. It is one of the most anticipated music releases of the year. http://www.suite101.com/content/u2-new-album-songs-of-ascent-may-release-date-confirmed-a342257 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest howyousawtheworld Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I don't know if it will be on the album but I would absolutely kill if Mercy were on it. Probably refined version of this one though. But how can you improve on perfection??! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjaiken Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 This is great news. I actually liked NLOTH, but it never rose to the level of many of my other favorite U2 albums. I still think the title track is fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think the title track is fantastic. I really liked it as well and prefer it to their previous two albums. But unlike you I thought the title track was one of the weaker songs on the album. The likes of Unknown Caller , Breathe and Fez - Being Born I loved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerosWelcome Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I'd like U2 to return to the Joshua Tree "soul" they had - songs like Running To Stand Still / Red Hill Mining Town - I want them to write songs from their hearts, rather than throw away pop songs to get on Radio One (Elevation / Get On Yer Boots) - think they need to aim for the mass appeal of the Radio Two crowd now, rather than trying to be relevant to under 24s like they've consistently done until NLOTH.. Think Coldplay proved this with Viva La Vida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldplay_is_louve. Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I loved NLOTH, but it really wasn't anything like the old sound. I'd love if they could get back to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Coldplay proved this with Viva La Vida. Did you listen to Cedars of Lebanon? Or Breathe? Moment of Surrender? Lots of soul on those tracks. People need to shut up about their Joshua Tree nostalgia. That was over 20 years ago, ain't gonna happen again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People need to shut up about their Joshua Tree nostalgia. That was over 20 years ago, ain't gonna happen again. Yes of course, but it was all a bit like they were trying too hard. I don't know. I can't put my finger on it. Moment Of Surrender is good / great admittedly, as is Magnificent. Oh and I now like the title track No Line On The Horizon. But that's about it.

coldplay_is_louve. Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I personally loved Stand Up Comedy, even though I know that wasn't a favorite of NLOTH. :heart: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
