eonline.com: Pity the television fan who doesn't like the music of U2.
After a blizzard of Apple iTunes commercials featuring the band's new single, "Vertigo," blanketed television screens nationwide in October, the band is once again turning to the tube to usher in a second wave of exposure.
To promote their new record, How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, which drops Nov. 23, the Irish foursome will pull musical guest duty on NBC's Saturday Night Live later this month. And, in an even more novel strategy, the band is teaming with CBS' runaway hit CSI to will roll out tracks from the album over the next few weeks, E! Online has confirmed. [

But he won’t be singing – he wants to leave it to the younger generation of pop stars to provide the vocals.
U2 front man Bono will be returning to sing his famous line from Band Aid 1984: “And tonight thank God it’s them, instead of you.”
Luckily for Bono, it was felt by the organisers that he was the only one who could do it justice. He is also the only star from the original line-up. [ more]

news.yahoo.com: A 2-1 move places U2's "Vertigo" (Interscope) at the pinnacle of Modern Rock Tracks. It is the group's first song to go all the way since "Staring at the Sun" ruled for three weeks in April 1997.
"Vertigo" is the eighth U2 song to be a Modern Rock No. 1. That ties the Irish rockers with Red Hot Chili Peppers for the most chart-toppers in the history of that survey.
There is one record U2 has all to itself: It is the act with the longest span of No. 1s on Modern Rock Tracks, stretching over 16 years and two weeks, counting back to Oct. 22, 1988, the week "Desire" marched into pole position. [ more]

crazewire.com: On first listen, U2's new single "Vertigo", released to radio September 24, has nothing to say about war, third world debt, AIDS, or the post-9/11 world it's being released in.
In fact, on first listen, U2's deceptively simple new single doesn't seem to have anything to say at all. With a Spanish spoken count-in that jumps from three to fourteen, Vertigo's music is immediately danceable, and rocks out as promised. Purported to be part of their response to the 'garage rock' boom of the last few years, the song contains aural traces of The Vines, and The Hives, but also has some pretty signature U2 moments.
Adam Clayton's furious bass ramblings, The Edge's swirling guitar solo, Larry Mullen Jr's swinging and thrashing drum rhythm, and Bono's urgent cries combine to bring U2 into the 21st Century at last. [ more]

undercover.com.au: Irish singer Bono has urged world leaders to help African famine victims by dropping Third World debt.
The U2 rocker insists Britain's Prime Minister Tony Blair, French premier Jacques Chirac and American President George W Bush would secure a place in the history books if they changed the relationships between the affluent West and their impoverished neighbours in the southern hemisphere.
He says, "If Bush and Blair and Chirac asked my advice, I'd say they should reorganise the relationship between the north and southern hemisphere. [ more]
