Red Hot atacam U2!
«O baterista dos Red Hot Chili Peppers, Chad Smith, acusou os U2 e os Black Eyed Peas de se terem vendido à indústria musical. A acusação surgiu momentos antes do grupo californiano actuar no festival T In The Park que decorreu no passado fim-de-semana na Escócia.
Smith mostrou-se desagradado por ambos os grupos terem cedido as suas músicas a anúncios de televisão. O baterista afirmou que os RHCP nunca permitirão tal coisa, alertando para o facto de ser «perigoso» misturar-se música e negócio corporativo.
Mas o músico foi mais longe nas suas declarações acusando os Black Eyed Peas de serem um «grupo de idiotas». Chad Smith salientou, ainda, ter estranhado o facto da música dos U2, que acompanhou o lançamento de um leitor de MP3 portátil, ter uma maior duração e incluir mais elementos musicais que o original.
Os Red Hot Chili Peppers editam o single 'Tell Me Baby' no próximo dia 17 de Julho.»

Pormenores 4ª légua
O site U2Log.com publicou vários pormenores sobre a 4ª légua da Vertigo Tour. A banda deverá actuar em Tóquio nos dias 14 e 15 de Dezembro. A tour poderá começar no Japão e só depois ir para Austrália. A banda deverá ainda voltar aos EUA:
«Our friends at U2japan.com have learned that the Tokyo Dome has been reserved on December 14 and 15 for U2’s use. They report that the promoter and U2 management are locked on the issue of ticket price. U2 want to keep prices fair; the promoter wants to sell “premium” tickets. If U2 perform at the Tokyo Dome, it will likely be to fans all sitting in reserved seats because of Japan’s strict fire codes.
U2japan.com also has learned when and where U2’s stage set is to be delivered to their part of the world. An employee of the sea transportation company that will be handling U2’s set revealed the company expects U2’s set to arrive in Yokohama Port in September or October. If this information is true, it may mean U2 intend to rehearse in Japan before beginning the tour again in Australia and New Zealand in November (the current rumored tour commencement date) — or it may mean the first rescheduled dates will be in Japan — or it might mean nothing other than Yokohama Port is a common delivery point for sets and equipment.
We’ve heard from several sources that the tour route will be slightly different than originally planned, with Australia getting their rescheduled dates first, followed by New Zealand, Japan, and Hawaii. The show at Honolulu’s Aloha Stadium may be a New Year’s Eve show, which fits with the publication of a curious item at Ticketmaster.com on March 1. For a short time on that date, Ticketmaster.com listed an event at Aloha Stadium on December 31st for $1. When questioned about the event, Ticketmaster said it was a placeholder in the system for an event to be announced later. Even then, fans suspected it was for U2’s rescheduled show.
Perhaps the most interesting news we’ve heard is there may be additional concerts in countries that were not previously listed on the tour schedule and countries that have already been Vertigo-ed. Yes, that means the United States. Again.»

U2 em estudio!!!
A noticia vem do interference que garante que a banda está em estúdio a preparar o novo album. Inicialmente previsto para este ano, o album so deverá ser lançado no primeiro semestre de 2007 devido, entre outros factores, ao adiamento da Vertigo Tour:
«In its latest e-mail to subscribers, U2.com had the following to say about the band's plans for the summer:
U2 are off the road and spending some time working on new songs in the recording studio.
Bono had talked about writing new songs recently so it's exciting to see that those songs could be finding their way to tape right now.
No word on what project this studio work is for but stay tuned to Interference.com for updates.»

Bandas suporte!
Segundo avança o site Rock os Catupecu Machu e Dios los Cria poderão ser as bandas de abertura para os próximos concertos dos U2:
« -Hablando de influencias, nadie puede negar las que recibieron de Pearl Jam y de U2. ¿cómo es que, habiendo sido teloneros de tantos grupos importantes de afuera, no lo hayan sido de esos dos que vinieron al país recientemente?
- Cuando vino Pearl Jam estábamos grabando. Con U2, Grinbank nos dio el OK. Íbamos a tocar Catupecu Machu y nosotros, pero luego producción americana no aceptó soportes nacionales, solo Franz Ferdinand. Nos tuvieron miedo »
