Maybe the video is on it's way after all?

For what it's worth, that Facebook page was "liked" by the official U2 Facebook page.

I'm still waiting for Every Breaking Wave--The CD Single.

[God, Part II]

Is this not the same film that was included in the iTunes exclusive FILMS OF INNOCENCE? I honestly don't know, since I won't truck with it unless it's made available on Blu-ray or, if I must, DVD, but it seemed a logical conclusion to me.

No, that one was directed by Robin Rhode. This one is apparently directed by Aoife McArdle.

Bit of a teaser video posted today:

Only 15s.

It's strange that the band aren't doing anything to promote this video. There are a couple of links on their Facebook page but nothing on the official site.

If this turns out to be more a short film that a music video, maybe that will make more sense.

I am not sure of the logic of releasing multiple videos of the same song.

Except to get collectors and such aroused.

Brad,

The band behave like if the don't give a s/f about the sales and their popularity at all (contrary to what Bono always says!)
That would be ok 20 years ago... 10 years ago... but I just don't get why now?!

To me they have reached their Rolling Stones phase.
People (general causual listners) don't care about new U2 records,
they want to listen to the hits, and put a check next to U2 on their "Bands to see live" lists.

I just don't get it, why Edge, Larry and Adam can't promote the album without Bono?!
Would it hurt to go to Fallon, Letterman or Kimmel to chat about the album, the tour, Bono's condition? NOPE
Would it hurt for Edge to perform say Song For Someone on the couch? NOPE
Would it hurt to attend the Grammy's? NOPE
the list just goes on...

What's wrong with them?!

They have brilliant album and brilliant songs (bar the 1st again wrongly choosen single),
Why they wait 2 months with Video for Every Breaking Wave?
Why they release "new version" to radio... but no CD or even digital single?

I looks like Apple paid enough for them to don't give a s/f.

But bare your minds, I have organized ca. 20 - U2 Fan Gatherings between 2001 - 2014... every time up until 2009 there were new fans coming... since 2010... the number of people is rapidly decreasing. People in mid 30 are tied to their families and jobs, and there are NO (ZERO) new fans. People in mid 20 look to Arctic Monkeys, Muse, Coldplay, Arcade Fire....

If U2 does nothing to change that... they are already "the next" Rolling Stones! (I guess Anybody Seen My Baby is their last "proper" hit... and that was 1997.... we should get used to "Vertigo" being the last song causual people will associate with U2.)

AMEN!

I would fire the guy - Guy right away!
Paul please come back!

And sadly I think most people got that check mark next to "bands to see live" the last time out.  How else do you explain GA tickets being available for Chicago and Montreal hours, and even days after the shows have gone on sale.  No real sell outs over here - just a whole lot of tickets in the secondary market.  Maybe everyone wants the bigger than big spectacle U2 and are disappointed they've cut way back in scale as well?  But I feel more like it's everyone's seen them and are feeling there's no need to go again.

I guess that makes it a shorter movie
