Neil Young is currently preparing for the launch of his new album, the first original work with Crazy Horse since 2003. His new LP is already streaming before launch on his website. So the rock legend engaged in a twitter Q&A session with his fans event which saw him make a jibe at U2 front man Bono. Neil was asked: “What do you like about foster the people? #askneil btw, bono said he likes them,…
Hello, you handsome several. I know you like keeping up to date with the happenings of the day. Or, in this case, the happenings of the week. This is a round-up, you see – the most efficient way for you to digest the bite-sized treats that we so affectionately and perhaps exaggeratingly call “The News”. This week, your special guest commentator is this pope: The Pope! And now: THE NEWS.
It seems U2 are finally getting their act together and making music, not war. We kinda guessed this was the next step since releasing their album cover, so we kept an eye out and guess what: now, they’ve released their single too. “Get On Your Boots” is the first single from U2’s latest album, “No Line On The Horizon”, which is also available for preorder through iTunes, at only 0.99$. Also, it has to be…
Music Rising, is a world renowned charity organization, co-founded by the U2 lead guitarist The Edge, that seeks to bring back life and a spark of hope into people’s life, by reviving the local musical culture in the Central Gulf region of the U.S. in the wake of several disastrous hurricanes. Basically what they do is hold free concerts and give away loads of instruments to unfortunate artists. This of course costs money and with…
Now don’t get ahead of yourself there! We all know Bono made some admirable charity acts and we give him praise for that. But sometimes, even the best of us have to suffer! Here’s what happened in one of their shows: At a recent U2 concert in Glasgow, Scotland, he asked the audience for total quiet. Then, in the silence, he started to slowly clap his hands, once every few seconds. Holding the audience in…
When it comes to it, U2 are among the big guns, among the fabled few who managed to deliver great music for a long period of time. In fact, they pretty much covered everything, adapting their style to the current tendencies, or even adapting the current tendencies to their music. This comes as a sequel to the 2004 ‘Hot to dismantle an atomic bomb’, and the boys seem very prepared to deliver another good dose…
After a lifetime of playing soldout to crowds and in every corner of the world, U2 have done what their fans do all the time: line up to see a u2 show. That concert was “U2 3D,” a film of the band’s 2005-06 Vertigo tour, shot at several shows in South America with new 3-D technology.”I was really hoping we weren’t crap after all these years. Luckily we weren’t,” guitarist The Edge told The Associated…
They have been known for doing surprising things before. This time they went and sang as a warmup act at a charity concert in London. But just Bono and The Edge were there. The band members have invested time and money in good causes and it is obvious that charity is an important part of them. The show delighted the 250 people who attended the fund raiser on Friday night for Mencap, a charity that…
Things are not looking any better in Myanmar and a solution without help from the outside seems unlikely. But there are people who care about what the situation is outside of LA and other big cities. [tag]Bono[/tag] says he had “slept uneasily” since seeing extraordinary photos and TV footage of the violence in Myanmar. After a month of mostly peaceful demonstrations against Myanmar’s military government the militaries opened fire and a big part of the…
