BONO ON SNL
November 04, 2007
posted by: sherry

As m2 posted, Bono's visit to NBC Studios this week involved more than
just an interview with newsman Brian Williams. Yer man was also spotted
taking part in Saturday Night Live rehearsals. He popped up in the
latest digital short in a spirited cameo.

Check out Bono's cameo >>

remastered jt= great xmas gift!
that snl episode was pretty amazing!

Are these guys going to release a new album and tour anytime soon? I know it usually takes them 4 years between albums, but I've heard nothing about them being close to finishing this next one. It would be great if they were touring the states at some point in 08. All my favorite bands seem to be in hibernation right now. I guess this is what happens when your favorite bands get old. Instead of touring every other year they can barely make it out once every 4 years. Then the prices get so high you can barely make one of those shows.

i know all of my bands arent out either..yeah i keep up with the U2 news like crazy lol
bono said album in 2008, hes going back to dublin and seriously sitting down and recording with the band this month. so im taking his word that its out in 08 and touring in 09

WARNING: MAJOR NOSTALGIA ALERT AHEAD
November 08, 2007


Amazon.com has two video clips taken from the Live in Paris DVD that
will be part of the Joshua Tree Deluxe Edition re-issue, and if you're
like me, this will be a major trip down memory lane.

Watch Bono lurch! See Edge when he had long hair! Check out Adam doing
the left leg pump! Wonder why the camera never shows Larry! See Bono
act like his guitar is plugged in!

Seriously, very cool videos. The link below is to "In God's Country"
and you can click from there to see "Pride." (Thx Calle.)

By the way... a spokesman at Universal Music tells us that the re-issue
will be on shelves in the U.S. on November 20, with the exception of
the vinyl version which won't be available until December 4th. In
Europe, the album isn't released until December 7/10 or thereabouts.

watch the videos at Amazon.com >>

posted by: m2

Don't write it in pen just yet, but word on the street is that U2 3D
will premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah on January 19,
2008, and will then move to about 100 IMAX-style movie screens across
the U.S. beginning on January 25, 2008. No word on when Europe and
other locations will get the film.

THE VIDEO YOU NEVER THOUGHT YOU'D SEE...
November 19, 2007
posted by: m2

Continuing their embrace of social networking sites, U2 has posted the
never-before-seen "Red Hill Mining Town" music video on YouTube.
Personal reaction: incredibly thrilled they finally let this one see
the light of day, and incredibly thrilled they didn't do it 20 years
ago. :-) We don't seem to have a Forum discussion on the video yet, so
let us know what you think on the @U2 blog:

wow...that's an incredibly bad video.....no wonder the never released it.....:)

So typically 80's with video "directors" trying to be over dramatic...does a disservice to a great song.
How they got Larry to agree to his role is beyond me.

Nice work by the canaries though.

Big U2 Joshua Tree promo mobile for sale or trade...is anyone interested? It's in a trunk in my basement...protected...so if nobody wants it now, I'll still have it in the future. Just putting it out there....

It's interesting viewing this video. Figuring how iconic the other vids for JT were, this does seem kinda comical. Imagine if this was their first video for it, it could have derailed one of the best albums ever, back in the time where having your videos played meant everything.

Siskel and Ebert review of Rattle and Hum...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qC5iEPpQHcE&feature=related

I think Roger had some good point in his criticism of the movie.

Funny they didn't have their thums up/down back then.But still interesting to watch, nerver the less 19 years later.

NEW @U2 'U23D' MOVIE WEB SITE
December 07, 2007


Although we have to wait until January 25th to see U23D (in select
cities), you can check out the film's web site. The best part is the
trailer, which, although it doesn't really show any scenes, still got a
couple of us hyped-up with anticipation when we watched it. No list yet
of which cities it will be released in. (Thanks Freebird2000)
