Well, I guess nothing is really “rare” anymore…since the internets. I’m not a big green beer drinker, but I don’t mind celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with some ‘rare’ U2 footage (I still <3 U2, despite No Line on the Horizon). Above, Bono sings the traditional Irish folk song, “Wild irish Rose,” in this clip from [...]

Bono, The Edge, Rihanna, and Jay-Z performed their song written with Swizz Beats at the Hope for Haiti Now benefit Friday night. The performance of “Stranded (Haiti Mon Amour)” is above, and the official mp3 of the studio version of the track is available on iTunes with 100% of the proceeds going to Partners in [...]

U2 kicked off their 360º Tour last night in Barcelona, and unveiled their “stainless steel and aircraft aluminum structure with a display made of 888 LED screens, with 500,000 pixels spanning across them…a screen area of 3,800 square feet and weighs approximately 120,000 pounds.” It’s otherwise known as “The Claw.” Reminds of something out of [...]

Above is an excerpt from the Radio 4 broadcast earlier today of Bono’s “American David.” While this is the technical official unveiling of the 14 minute poem about Elvis Presley, it has actually been around for a long time. It was featured on the 1994 Passengers album, Original Soundtracks 1, which is actually U2 and [...]

Speaking of… If you can survive the jumping up and down POV of the person who recorded this, this is a pretty poprok heavy performance of The Killers, Coldplay, and Bono singing my fav Killers track, “All These Things I’ve Done,” at the War Child Heroes Benefit in London last week.

Once upon a couple of weeks ago … I’m in a crush in a Dublin pub around New Year’s. Glasses clinking clicking, clashing crashing in Gaelic revelry: swinging doors, sweethearts falling in and out of the season’s blessings, family feuds subsumed or resumed. Malt joy and ginger despair are all in the queue to be [...]

Though this is from the 2007 Keep a Child Alive Black Ball (a fundraiser in NYC that honored Bono for his work for AIDS awareness in Africa), it just recently made it’s way on to the web via someone who apparently “just discovered Youtube.” This is a special performance of Alicia Keys and Gwen Stefani [...]

Bono (Bono!) told The Independent yesterday that the new U2 record will not sound like anything the band’s ever done, and that people will “feel the difference.” He said the album will have trance, metal, and Morrocan influences. “Normally when you play a U2 tune, it clears the dance floor. And that may not be [...]

Bono is talking. So, “Shh.” This time, the U2 frontman is talking on the iLike.com iCast about the 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of The Joshua Tree, which is available on CD, double CD, or 3 disc limited edition box set.  In this clip, Bono discusses “Wave of Sorrow,” a previously unreleased track from The Joshua [...]
