Comments on: Part 2 of Sean O’Hagan’s U2 video diary http://u2log.com/2009/02/15/part-2-of-sean-ohagans-u2-video-diary/ U2 news - From July 2000 till our moment of surrender Fri, 18 Mar 2011 15:39:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Jedi http://u2log.com/2009/02/15/part-2-of-sean-ohagans-u2-video-diary/#comment-34698 Jedi Sun, 15 Feb 2009 10:20:03 +0000 http://u2log.com/?p=5997#comment-34698 The media (and many U2 fans) make a big song and dance about Bono's charity work affecting the band. They love to make it out as though there's a big rift between Larry and Bono. So I'm constantly bemused by the fact that when Larry says the opposite in interviews, it's never made into a headline, and the Bono-hating U2 fans never mention it. In this article alone (as there has been over the years) there are several quotes by Larry making it very clear there's no problem with Bono's work outside U2. 1. "There is a danger that people start to perceive U2 as a part of the Bono show. Now, I admire and support everything he does, but that is categorically not the case." 2. "I can tell you categorically that all the other stuff is not affecting his work. He has boxes of lyrics, great lyrics." 3. "Well , when you are four guys working together and one of them is away a lot, you miss that chemistry, and you miss his input. But there's no sour grapes there. We get on with it. We work, you know, U2 works." I just wanted to rub this in the faces of the sensationalist tabloid media, and the U2 fans who really don't have a clue.

I'm really lookingforward for their more experimental side. Looks like they decided to divide their material into two albums instead of one: NLOTH will be the U2 album with a twist and the second one something else (Achtung Baby/Zooropa stylewise). Great news. I’m really lookingforward for their more experimental side.
