  1. Found this at ultimate-guitar.com Don't know if had been already posted in this forum, but here it goes again, anyway:



    In an exclusive interview with U2's guitarist the Edge, RollingStone.com reports that the Irish megastars are already in the studio working diligently on the follow-up to their Grammy-winning 2004 release, How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb.

    "We're working on new songs and getting lost in the music," he said. "I don't think we're going to try and think too much about what we're going to do with it yet, we're just going to do a lot of writing and just see what gives. We're giving ourselves the luxury of just working on the songs. There's some amazing things coming through."

    There were no more details revealed, but we reported a few weeks back that U2 is collaborating with super-producer Rick Rubin.

    The Edge is also in the process of organizing his latest fund-raising initiative, Music Rising, an upcoming auction offering rare rock memorabilia. All proceeds generated from the auction will go to musicians affected by hurricanes Rita and Katrina.

    Credits for the report to ARTISTdirect.
  2. Yeah, Rick Rubin's convinced them not to come into the studio until they've got the songs written. He will be stripping the music down to the basics, I've heard the band use the words melody and essence a lot. There was a big piece about it a few months back in Q Mag.

    I think it will be one helluva record!!
  3. I think it will be the best ever, its just a feeling, but i just know it.

  4. Can't wait!
  5. I'm hoping for an Aural overload, bring the Delay Edge, YOU OWN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    true to that!!!! i think it'll be their best ever too!!! i think they'll combine all the stuff that has worked for them in the past and their next tour will be their best ever and they'll go to all corners of the globe... thats my 2 cents worth anyway lol
  9. I'm actually a bit worried about their next album. Like all of you I cannot wait for it to be released I just really hope we won't be disappointed.
  10. I can't wait for it!! I'd like a completely different style. I hope it will be as innovative as Achtung Baby!
  11. Yeh that would be good!! I hear they said they have reached an end of an era achieving what they wanted to achieve over the past couple of albums. The new sound will definately be interesting. Fingers crossed. Im just waiting now for the popmart dvd to come out........Hurry Up!!!!

  12. This is going to sound random but I remember reading an ollld post from someone in Dublin who reported hearing some sounds coming out of U2's studio when the boys got back in town.

    I don't even recall if it was on this site but I'm curious if anyone in Dubtown verify this or can they hear anything currently??

    might be fun to listen...
