For anyone who doubted U2 when hearing their first single “Get On Your Boots” , you were wrong. Their new album, No Line On The Horizon , has been #1 on billboard the past few weeks, and doesn’t seem to be budging. On June 30th U2 will be embarking on their worldwide 360 tour. We are still waiting for more US dates, as of now we only have Chicago, Boston, and New York.  Keep you posted on the latest!

Bono is a big time charity giver, who not only works with musicians to help fight HIV/AIDS, but also worked with big names like Bill Gates and Michael Dell. This time he and U2 are working with a whole host of musicians including Coldplay, the Killers, the Dixie Chicks, John Legend, R.E.M. and Bob Dylan. RED Wire is a new digital music magazine that will be distributed for $5 every Wednesday. It will include exclusive tracks from the listed musicians and also ways you can donate and help HIV/AIDS around the world.

U2 signed a 12-year deal with the promotion / touring company Live Nation back in March. When signing the deal U2 received 1.56 million shares of the big promoter which equals out to $19 million. The deal includes the band’s tours, merchandising and their official website. It, however, does not include releasing music. U2 will remain with Universal Music and rely on Live Nation to do nearly everything else. U2 is set to release their new album in early 2009

Bono says U2 is at an all time high in writing and would hate to end it just to get this new album out. He was quoted as saying “This is our chance to defy gravity once again” in his interview with Rolling Stone. They have haved 50 to 60 songs already written according to Bono. I bet it will be hard to choose the 12-20 for the album out of that many songs. Opinions?

Alright so the hot word on the street is that Bono was jamming out to U2′s upcoming album in his house in France when one of their fans recorded 4 songs that have not been heard by the public yet. The fan than uploaded the choppy recordings to YouTube. Of course due to copyright infringements galore, the videos of the recordings vanished in thin air. Bono is very secretive about new music normally, so people online have been ragging on him about getting a pair of headphone, and this, and that. I think you should leave the guy alone, he can jam out to his music whenever he wants. The problem here starts with the crazed fan.

Whats your opinion?
