Are you ready to rock 360 degrees?
As Barcelona awaits U2′s dress rehearsal tonight (apparently open to 500 invited guests, in honour of the Special Olympics), here’s a “U2360 tour sneak preview” featuring stage construction, and soundbites from Paul McGuinness, Mark Fisher, Jake Berry (“It’s big, but it’s small…”) and tour producer Arthur Fogel.
What’s that tune at the start and end of it?

- U2 Fan Survey 2012: Third Set of Results Available May 23, 2012The third set of results from the 2012 U2 Fan Survey is now available, and it takes us through your votes on U2's albums and songs.

- The Resource Miracle May 22, 2012[Note: This essay appeared in the May 28, 2012, edition of TIME magazine.] It's become the go-to cliché of modern economics. Natural resources are a "curse." When a nation is over-reliant on one or two commodities like oil or precious minerals, corrupt government ministers and their dodgy associates hoard profits and taxes instead of properly […]
- Bono Pays One More Tribute to Steve Jobs May 22, 2012Bono made an appearance via video tonight at the Webby Awards, contributing to a tribute to Steve Jobs. A host of tech legends and celebrities each paid tribute to Jobs in five words or less, a Webby Awards tradition.

I think the music at the start and end could be on the new album…certainly sounds new!
The effects after about 3 minutes look stunning, and I love the disco ball at the top of the tower! Memories of Zoo TV, even though I was 1/2 years old at the time!

Awesome new music…
Pumped for the tour!…
But every time I see McGuiness now I just see a man totally out of touch with the reality of today’s music, the industry, etc. He’s like an old housewife who just thinks that things should be the way they always were and that his kids are the most, best-lookingest kids on the block.
Not to mention he now dresses like Marlon Brando in “The Island of Dr. Moreau”. Yikes.
