    Oh, thank you. I was thinking, "a new single already?"

    I really hope that's true. New U2 and Pearl Jam around the same time? I must be in heaven!

    Lets hope we don't hear anything as embarrassing as "get on your boots"

    I heard this today but only knew 1 of 3 of this U2 trivia....

    What were the 3 previous names the band had before settling on U2?

    Oh man. Good question. Was The Hype one of them?

    Yes The Hype was the last one before U2, I got the first one from a book I read almost 30 years ago.

    I believe they started out as Feedback, then became The Hype before settling on U2 (and their definite line-up).
    I'm not aware of a possible 3rd name they had before they became U2.

    I forgot about Feedback. Good call on that one.

    Well I can't believe you guys that you have not gotten the first one and that is....

    The Larry Mullen Band I got that one. :D since he was the youngest and the founder of the band. I get the feeling that name did not last very long.

    So much for the "guarentee" we would see a new cd by September.
    What's the "official" date now?
