Past performance does not guarantee future success.
I wish they would get someone completely new and different to anyone they've worked with before.

I would travel anywhere in the world for a tour with U2 and Brian Eno on the same stage

U2 are lucky they are so big that they can still shift records maybe not the way they used to but enough for the Record company to get behind a new album and promote it ,however do U2 need to go down the nostalgia route and commemorate every great album with a tour ?I don't think they do they toured off the last 2 albums successfully enough but as much as I don't like them doing nostalgia a Zoo TV tour in 2021 would be amazing especially with today's technology it would be a massive success .

An Achtung Baby 2021 tour with all of the extra technology at their disposal to play with and satirize sounds awesome.
But, despite acknowledging that and also despite AB being my favorite album, I still would rather have them release one more new album and tour behind that before potentially calling it quits. Partially because I love that they are still releasing new material, partially because the whole Zoo TV spectacle in 1992/93 owed a lot of its status to U2 totally reinventing themselves and playing behind "masks" and irony, right? I just don't think they could pull that off anymore. Not because they don't have the talent or creative vision, but because everyone who knows the band already knows that that is a part of their development as a band that they already went through. If that makes sense?
