I wholeheartedly agree, I think the tabloid papers are a disgrace, on the whole - a large majority of their news has very little substance, and the stuff that actually does is usually reported by everyone else in better detail. Unfortunately, the free press is an undesirable product of the right to free speech as a whole - the extent to which such speech is truly free is a matter of debate for elsewhere, and I don't mean to dwell on it, but it's the lesser of two evils...
We probably won't go into it further here...we'll leave that for the political topic. I have nothing but anger, disgust, shame and general annoyance for tabloids. The way they've perceived many innocent people over the years (and still do it - the Paparazzi is an evolution of the written word in these so-called "works"), has ruined careers, people in general, business...the Sun is a prime example of bullshit.

"Hot Press understands that there’s absolutely no concern in the U2 camp over four tracks from the band’s new album which leaked onto YouTube over the weekend.
Indeed, there is some surprise that the story has been afforded such a high level of exposure, given that the ‘recordings’ were of such poor – or rather non-existent – quality.
The culprit is believed to be a Dutch fan, who heard the songs – supposedly titled ‘Moment Of Surrender’, ‘For Your Love’, ‘Sexy Boots’ and ‘No Line On The Horizon’ – blaring out of Bono’s French Riviera retreat in Eze-sur-Mere and recorded them with his mobile phone.
“Even by bootleg standards, the audio quality is really, really bad,” an insider tells Hot Press. “You really couldn’t hear anything – it was like something that was playing four or five rooms away being recorded. It really is a bit of a non-event.”
Following copyright violation complaints from U2’s record company, Universal, the tracks were taken down by YouTube who’ve subsequently launched an investigation into the matter.
Universal’s prompt response is, however, an indication of just how jealously any information on the album is being guarded. With Radiohead’s In Rainbows album – which was officially available to download for however little fans wanted to pay – having suffered 2.3 million illegal downloads, there is clearly a lot at stake for both the band and the record company.
As for the song titles, Edge has already spoken about a track ‘Get On Your Boots’, not ‘Sexy Boots’ – though the title might have changed in the meantime. Similarly, Bono has played ‘No Line On The Horizon’ a few months ago – but whether or not that will be the title of the album remains uncertain."

Quality was better than the previous beach clips, you could even hear lyrics.

If the quality is zero and non-existent, why complain and remove the clips?

Interesting, Get On Your Boots sounds way better than Sexy Boots.
Clip 4 has the best quality, as far you can speak of that. So that's a bit rubbish too. Anyway...a lot of publicity about some clips isn't that bad for U2.
agree on what you guys talk about, i think its good to have such pre-album story.. have the clips and its a good listening for what its worth! publicity isnt wrong...
il like the 2nd clip!
but now i definitly wished it was october already...

I'm sure Bono knows his physical limitations! It's not like he hasn't toured like All His Life!!
So the tour starts in March/April , better buy my plane tickets!! Ha!
BTW: For anyone that reads this, I just want to say it's great to be back online and at U2start. I was out of town most of the summer rideing rollercoasters,
So it's good to be back to my online peeps!!!
