    WOW that is one hell of a shake up. Paul has been there from the very beginning. Last week I told my friend Michael Franti that IF they are chosen to tour with U2 AGAIN, we were taking sebacatles from work get a large RV and tour the country and Canada. He laughed and said you all would do that and that would be fun. :)

    Peace

    All of Bono's talk of wanting to stay relevant must be the cause of this. They'll always be relevant; they're fucking U2! Like Bruce, U2 will always stay relevant.

    U2.com have posted info on the new subscriber's gift: North Side Story.

    North Side Story: U2 in Dublin, 1978-1983
    'If U2 can slow down long enough to be heard, they could step to the fore of the Dublin music scene' (1978, live review)

    In the late 1970's when Adam, Bono, Edge and Larry played their first gigs in Dublin's Northside, there was only one music title that would follow them all the way.

    Hot Press Magazine was at the scene from schoolroom to stadium, Dublin bars to New York clubs, Out of Control to Under A Blood Red Sky.

    Introducing North Side Story - a unique, ringside seat at the rise and rise of U2 in their home city.

    An exclusive publication, commissioned from the Hot Press team in Ireland, this large-format 274-page book is full of rare and unpublished photos, reviews, interviews and original pieces by Adam and Bono.

    Over the past six months Hot Press have tracked down many of the original players in the U2 story - schoolfriends, musicians, artists, promoters, DJ's and crew.

    Along with their unique archive of original content, North Side Story features dozens of new interviews - from Paul McGuinness and Guggi to Jim Sheridan and Steve Lillywhite - bringing the story of the band right up to date.

    The editorial lens is pulled back further with first-time translations of some of the earliest interviews the band gave as they embarked on dates around Europe.

    Open up North Side Story and you'll find a beautiful pull-out wall-map, capturing landmark moments in U2's Dublin from the early years to the present day. 'North And South of the River, Wandering In U2's Dublin' has been commissioned from U2's long-time design team.

    It's been a remarkable project, says Niall Stokes, Hot Press Editor, whose writers, designers and photographers' have produced this special title.

    'Watching Feedback play in 1976, no-one could have dreamed of what lay ahead. We've ended up with a roller coaster, blow-by-blow account of the band's earliest days, telling the story of the genesis of U2 in a unique, powerful and, I hope, fantastically captivating and revealing way.

    'It's about where Adam, Bono, Edge and Larry came from and the remarkable bond that bound them together, even in the face of adversity. I think fans of the band are going to love it.'

    Looks quite nice!
    (though sadly no CD with rare music)

    Better be "back to the U2 of old" or they ain't getting my $$$.

    With pop mart then 360.. They became one of "the bands they warned us about" back in 1983.

    Thank God for their "return to rock" tours of 2001 and 2005..
    Ever other tour they seem to get it right..
