  1. VertigoRadio (U2Valencia's radio program) spoke with Madonna's Spanish fanclub yesterday on air (I participated by phone as well) and they said that the new manager is really close to the fans so hopefully what we lose with LiveNation, we win with the new guy. Let's see.

  2. What does it say?

    We win
    We loose
    It ?????


    I still don't know why some people here are so concerned, I don't think that much will change. We'll just wait and see, I guess.

    Meanwhile, this has set off all kinds of speculation about what this means for U2. Fans are annoyed and maybe a little frightened. After all, McGuinness has functioned as a fifth member of the band (he gets 20% of the profits, just like everyone else) since the beginning.

    But stepping back a little, this might be another one of McGuinness' brilliant business moves. By getting out of the way now, U2 is possibly pre-empting a crisis. What would happen to the band in the midst of and album and touring cycle if their manager and chief career architect was suddenly laid up?

    I guess Alan has been reading forums.

    He's got a point. U2 and the Big Dog have always made smart moves. Odds are that this is another.
  11. yep, that's the part I wanted to underline too, also the talk about the album
  12. Hmmm, if so, what did he achieve, these last "several months" ?
