U2 album goes missing
p2pnet.net News:- Ireland’s U2 is afraid the rough of a new album lost or stolen during a photo shoot might turn up online.
“Singer Bono, who has a house on the Cote D’Azur, and the three other members of the band paid a discreet visit to police headquarters in Nice on Wednesday to give statements about the possible theft, which took place during a photo shoot at a recording studio in the city,”says an Agence France-Presse report here.
It quotes Bono as saying, “We have numerous theories – from the fan who wants the rough cut for his collection to the web specialist who wants to be the first to put it out.”

Someone probably packed it in the wrong bag, and after the big police investigation got underway, was just too embarrassed to come forward and admit to it. It happens.

this smacks of good marketing.

its a delay tactic .. in there everlasting quest to just get better and better and with the promise of the album being a ” monster ”
i reckon they have let a rough copy get away to see the reaction whilst they fiddle and twiddle in the studio to give us a fans yet another fantastic album…

the u2 guys have a long established history of conducting themselves truthfully. they wouldn’t waste police time if they had found the missing album. this theory is weak without any supporting data. – greg deocampo.

Worked on me when Radiohead did it.
I was never a fan – downloaded the supposedly leaked Hail To The Thief tracks from Kazaa – loved it – bought the CD when it came out – and all their other albums after that.
