Bono Gives Away New U2 Songs
Looks like Bono let the cat out of the bag. According to a reliable source he was listening to music (a little loud) from the new record that hasn’t been released yet and a few bystanders were listening in on them. The new U2 songs were recorded by the onlookers and then posted to the Internet where they spread like wildfire.
The bystander posted four tracks on video-sharing website YouTube, newspapers and music websites reported on Tuesday. The previously unheard songs had now been removed from the website for copyright reasons but continued to circulate via email, the Irish Independent newspaper said.
Nobody at U2’s record label could immediately be reached for comment on the reports. The quality of the recording was said to be poor, with the noise of waves and seagulls audible in the background.
