Posted September 12, 201113 yr From http://www.fmqb.com/article.asp?id=2283880 U2 frontman Bono has announced a partial lineup for a U2 tribute album honoring the 20th anniversary of Achtung Baby. Commissioned by the British music magazine Q, the album features Jack White doing "Love Is Blindness," Depeche Mode covering "So Cruel," Patti Smith tackling "Until the End of the World" and Damien Rice doing the classic "One." "It’s strange, because when I hear the album, when U2 do it, all I hear is what’s wrong with it. But when I heard all these artists doing it, I thought, ‘It’s really good.’," Bono said at a press conference for the U2 documentary From the Sky Down at the Toronto International Film Festival. In addition, Bono said that artist Damien Hirst recently completed a video for "Even Better Than The Real Thing." "He made a very special art work, which has only been shown once and probably won’t be shown again, because [it was for the] Glastonbury festival and it’s an extraordinary work of art." Was such an album ever mentioned before? :blink:
September 12, 201113 yr Who knows :unsure: I'ld rather save my money for the next new U2 album, whenever that may be.
