No? Perhaps you wisely blocked it out. Seems Bono has, too.
I love U2 and all but I'm pretty sure that when you start talking seriously about wanting to go back and re-work the albums that made you the world's biggest rock band, it means you're officially out of new ideas. From Reuters, via Washington Post:
SOMERVILLE, Massachusetts - Irish band U2 gave a prelude to its upcoming world tour with a brief private show on Wednesday for just 950 fans who got a chance to make news by asking the band some tough questions.
Among the revelations from the banter with the crowd: U2 is considering reworking and re-releasing some early work including its debut album "Boy" released in 1980 that included U2's first big hit "I Will Follow."
"I would love to sing that album again and finish that," said lead singer Bono. He said they were rushed from the studio producing "Boy" because they "couldn't afford another hour."
"The early records, there's some beautiful songs that feel a little bit unfinished to us," he said.
Pressed on what he'd like to change, the Irish rocker singled out his "phony English accent" on "Boy."
