Gavin Friday: "Novo álbum do U2 é bem diferente"

O amigo de longa data da banda Gavin Friday, o carinha que inspirou o "mama" no vídeo do BabyZoo na Vertigo Tour (em sua maioria antecedia a música Zoo Station), deu uma entrevista à rádio irlandesa RTÈ Radio One e falou, dentre outras coisas, sobre o novo trabalho da banda. Eu, particularmente, acho que podem dizer o que for: nunca superarão o Joshua Tree ou Acthung baby. Segue a entrevista.

Pride (In The Name Of Love) e Anton Corbijn

  

Muitos sabem da grande amizade que o fotógrafo e cineasta holandês Anton Corbijn e os meninos de Dublin tem a longo tempo. Mas poucos sabem que Anton teve alguns probleminhas com a equipe da banda. A música Pride (In The Name Of Love) possui 3 vídeos gravados como clips. O que todos mais conhecem é o oficial, filmado por Donald Cammell em Agosto de 1984 no St. Francisco Xavier Hall, norte de Dublin. Este vídeo aparece no DVD U2 18 VIDEOS. (para vê-lo clique aqui)

All The Way From São Paulo

           

At the end of July last year, after 110 shows, the U2360° spaceship took off for the final time. 

Nothing captures the 360° vibe like the limited edition live set U22, with 22 songs from three years of shows. 

But what was it like to be there on the night, from the second the band walked onstage as  'Real Thing' kicked off to the closing benediction of 'Moment of Surrender' ? 

Maybe you were there and you'll never forget... maybe you wouldn't mind a reminder.  

To mark the first anniversary of the end of U2360°, this Saturday, exclusively for our U2.com subscribers, we'll be rebroadcasting the audio of the third show in Sao Paulo from April 2011.

[PHOTOS] U22 Has Arrived

Like U2.com said a week ago, my U22 was on its way. It arrived this afternoon. I didn’t see how it came, it was just on the porch when I went to get the regular ol’ mail. There is a United States Postal Service tracking # on it, but it also says it is from “UPS Mail Innovations.” So, maybe the USPS outsourced it to UPS? Who knows? The return address is Live Nation in Rancho Cordova, CA, but that doesn’t mean mine came from CA. I live in Ohio, btw, and I heard of another Ohioan in my region who got hers today.

"The best three weeks of U2 in the studio since 1979", Bono

At the end of the Late Late Show celebrating 50 years in the Irish issuing RTE, Bono made ​​a surprise appearance and made some revelations about the next album:

"Searching for the perfect pop song. Edge is the denial of his genius. I am aware of my little one. Larry is suspicious of both Adam and sees merit in both. They are unbelievable. They really want it, although I have to say. as a band there is no sense of entitlement. I think they are very aware that U2 can do something very special to have a reason to exist now, so what we're doing. we are writing - you know the process. But it is it - they are amazing men. they are really extraordinary. they really, really want it. " "There will be a U2 album unless it's something really special. You should go to that place. You have to dig a deep well and see what you can pull up. We've been through a lot of songs and there are very good things . I would say we we had the best three weeks in the studio since 1979. Three weeks is all it should take "
