A little more detail on the Spiderman Musical production and info that apparently at least some of the music will be released by U2 on an album to come out sometime after the new album.

Now that would really be pretty cool, the modern day Zooropa?

bono_212 · 07-19-2008, 09:07 PM

TWO albums?

BigMacPhisto · 07-19-2008, 09:11 PM

One of the Spider-Man songs is called "Rise Above"...is it a reworking of the track "Rise Up" from the JT release?

Hoodlem · 07-19-2008, 09:18 PM

Is this the first time we have ever had rumors of an album that is to come out after one that we don't even know the name for yet?

If there is any truth to this at all, it definitely indicates a more experimental U2 may be about to unleash itself on us.

BigMacPhisto · 07-19-2008, 09:20 PM

That whole article is truth. And surely, there will be a Spider-Man soundtrack release. There's no way they aren't going to milk guaranteed millions from a new Bono/Edge project. I doubt U2 will record any of those songs as a unit and release them under the U2 banner because they're all about Spidey, BUT I wouldn't be shocked to hear a few on the next tour.

Wow, i am very excited about this. Once we all get used to The-as-of-yet-unnamed-New-Album, we have another to familiarize ourselves with.

EDIT: I was also thinking, it was mentioned that the songs to be on the Spidey album would be reworked. Maybe the lyrics would be reworked to be less Spiderman oriented and more like traditional U2 songs.

Awesome! I'm still a little hesitant about songs about webslinging, but I like the idea of retooling them into U2 format. I think that any alterations will primarily be in the music itself and not the lyrics, though there may be some lyrical tweaks here and there. Just my guess. If the musical isn't set to come out until October of 2009, I wouldn't expect the U2-ified album until late 2009 or 2010.

TheClash253 · 07-19-2008, 10:01 PM

this is very cool. one of the song titles mentioned in the article, "Boy Falling From the Sky," makes me think this might have something to do with one of the 2006 beach clips (402). i recall bono singing something like "a boy...falls...from...the...sky"

JCOSTER · 07-19-2008, 10:04 PM

I can't wait to see this and I would love to take my boys too!
