Latest news, rumors, etc

Someone mentionned news were slow on the U2 front. And that’s true at this time of the year, no doubt.

But reliable U2Songs posted these tidbits yesterday:

This week saw the rumours that U2 would play in 2020 in Europe crop up on some ticket reselling sites. We are told that at this time there are NO plans to continue this tour into 2020, and the current cities are the only ones that will be announced. We are told that there are no plans to take this tour for another spin around Europe, or revisit other locations that the tour already visited in 2017. These shows are being done to visit areas of the world the band could not get to in 2017. We are told that the next stage for the band will see them start to work on a new album.

In interviews in 2018 Adam has suggested they will “start from scratch” on the next album and Bono has said “I’d like to make a balls to the wall rock album” so it sounds like they will work on something new, and not return to revisit Songs of Ascent. Although less committal as usual, even Larry when asked about the future said, “You never know. I assume there’ll be another album.”

Bono has said “I’d like to make a balls to the wall rock album....”

So, not really any "new" news, but still interesting!

Gotta love the Larry.

I'm starting to wonder about Larry. So Larry called NLOTH No Craic On the Horizon. I snickered.

And then I started to get concerned.

Does that mean Larry is actually partly responsible for Boots?

I doubt it. It’s an Edge riff and the band tried to copy the Vertigo formula for another hit

big riff intro/soft verses with scratchy guitar/chorus big riff/bridge

They tried it a 3rd time with the Miracle and didn’t work again.

It’s basically the band on auto pilot
