World Tour & Four Projects at Once: Ambiguous?


So Bono has confirmed, whether it was intentional or not, that U2 is working on four separate projects outside their 360 tour. According to Bono, U2 are working on a "rock album, a club-sounding album, Songs of Ascent, and the Spider-Man Musical."

To me that sounds a little ambiguous, and a little daunting. Although one must consider the fact that U2 after all is a band, the biggest band there is to be specific. It is their job, after all to write such music. Where fans become worried is if they are side tracked from their tour will they perform equally as well? Will the material lose quality because effort and work is divided into 5 parts? You tell me.

That seems to be the news lately for the band, and not much has changed so far in Europe's setlists for the Summer tour. Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me has been used in place of Ultraviolet for all but one concert--the last played concert which was the second concert in Denmark (Horsens), in which BOTH songs were played HOWEVER: Only at the expense of dropping Until the End of the World AND The Unforgettable Fire--fan favorites...

Personally, I would have dropped in a Little While and Stuck in a Moment. THAT would have been a setlist! Oh well, a fan can dream.

BTW - Bono looks very.. Fly-ish in this video. Id like to know what his new glasses look like up close.
