Panth Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 There could still be a new album. They released No Line and the Unforgetable Fire last year, so why not this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bflorendo Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Wondering if 'Heaven and Hell' will be completed then...(the unreleased track from the Achtung Baby sessions). I have the Achtung Baby recording sessions, and it's great to hear how they came up with those great songs. On 'Heaven and Hell', you can hear Bono call out the chords during the changes, and then telling the rest of the band to go back to the bridge section. It's a great mellow song that has that 'Moment of Surrender' feel to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber MacFoley Posted February 10, 2010 Subscriber Share Posted February 10, 2010 well cant see ab remaster being out in 2010. would make more sense to release it next year for the 20th ann. plus rattle and hum remaster has to be released first, and it will be the 21st ann this year.

Subscriber Zhivvy Posted February 11, 2010 Subscriber Share Posted February 11, 2010 AB - my favourite album, in my opinion doesn't need remastering as it perfect as it is - but still excited about it. BTW Jackie have you any information whether or not they will be attending the meteor awards in Dublin next Friday? I have been looking to find out but can't find any info anywhere - only they aren't performing as of yet - I'll be in Dublin on the day and would like to go to see if i can spy them at the RDS if they are about!
