The U2 interwebs have been buzzing for the past 24 hours about this song-length clip that a fan named Chad S. uploaded yesterday to YouTube. Have a listen, and then we’ll talk afterward (i.e., below the video): In the video, Chad says he found it on a Japanese fan site and labels it a “mysterious […]

Here’s a great find from U2Valencia.com: video of Bono singing an unfinished demo version of “Walk On” about four months before the song was released on All That You Can’t Leave Behind. The video is from June 23, 2000, when a group called TROCAIRE organized a small birthday party/event in Dublin in honor of Aung […]
Bono Appears in New 'Muscle Shoals' Music Documentary
Muscle Shoals, a new documentary about the Alabama town that hosted some amazing artists and recording sessions in the 1960s and ’70s, makes its debut at the Sundance Film Festival this Saturday … and Bono makes an appearance in the film.

LISTEN: U2's Acoustic "Walk On" from Burma Soldier
It looks like this slipped our radar entirely back in May 2011, when songwriter/producer Paul Brill collaborated with U2 on an acoustic version of “Walk On” for a documentary film called Burma Soldier. The soundtrack came out on May 17, 2011, and the track sounds to me like it was (at the time) completely new […]

Best. Book Promotion (and U2 Parody) Video. Ever.
To promote their upcoming book, Is That a Word?: From AA to ZZZ, the Weird and Wonderful Language of Scrabble, author David Bukszpan and publisher Chronicle Books created this hysterical parody of U2’s “With or Without You” video. You probably don’t need to be a word geek to love this, but it might help. Me? […]
PHOTO: Bono's Yellow Pants
“He wore lemon…” Is this the fashion faux pas of the year? Bono was spotted over the weekend wearing yellow pants while walking around St. Tropez, France. Don’t adjust your monitor … this is really what color they are: The Daily Mail has a couple more photos if you can’t get enough. Edge is in […]

(VIDEO) French U2 Fan Makes a "Baby Claw"

According to U2Achtung.com, Hitoz spent more than 300 […]
