Curious who gets the estate now Publishing he acquired on songs he recorded was sold in 1973 as were recording royalties. Merch licensing was sold a few years ago, most or all. I think the estate is basically a pile of money and Graceland. Between daughters with help from Pricilla. I believe that is incorrect. I think that Tom Parker sold all artist royalties for any recordings that occurred up to 1973 to RCA, but the family retained all of his publishing rights and companies. Billboard estimated his estate is now worth up to a billion dollars because of the publishing and Graceland with its merchandise arm. The Elvis Business Is Booming Into the Billions - BillboardLisa still owned 15% of EPE, plus the mansion and all of Elvis’ personal effects.

His management is trying to sell a newly announced US arena tour and trying to hide the fact he's turning into a male Lizzo. I don't expect the tour to unfold as planned.

They already killed the SW film line from Disney. Episodic tv shows will be around. SW toy sales went down in the past few months, even baby yoda stuff have hit the bargain racks. It's not moving in the past year and tons of it has been seen in bargain bins. Just today I picked up a pair of Baby Yoda 13-inch plushies with silicone heads for USD$30 total - both 1st pressing ones before they changed some features. Its an industry wide thing and has been documented. Walking into a Toys R Us, the Star Wars section is down to only a couple square feet of shelf space. Its also been documented that a majority of SW sales are now childless adults. Just saw on blabbermouth that Vienna is now cancelled. I think this is wrong, but I only really agree with the Nuremberg one as the venue has a guard 24-7 making sure people don't take photos doing a certain hand motion on a certain historically significant podium copying a certain WW2 figure. The Edge chimes double echo machine guitar only works if it's locked into place with a fixed tempo. There are a couple of U2 live tapes where it goes badly wrong. I've younger some more local acts use the same technology playing to 100-200 people. u2 went crazy with extra underworld players around zootv. The Zooropa stuff on the Sydney 1993 video has lots of help. Edge singing is probably the only live thing on Numb as I think the guitar is some backwards effect. Without the IEM count-ins, they would make a big mess on songs like Streets and One Tree Hill. Watch the 1992 DC version of Mysterious Ways. Edge is doing guitar, backing vocals, piano in certain parts and maybe the wah part. Guitar techs switching effects are not uncommon - St. Vincent did that in recent years to have less stuff onstage. Edge can still do manual switching himself when not running around a walkway.

There are going to be many tears that fall when the SHiTes learn they can’t use these to lure kids into the house like they could in 1982.

Arcade Fire official website does NOT have this date listed was first announced 4+ months ago. They got a Juno nomination in Canada. Surprised since this show is connected to the government and loves to overreact to situations like Butler's current media profile. If you consider the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences to be "the government," then yes, I guess. Weird take. I don't. Many aspects of the Junos are subsidized with public money. Plus politicians appear onstage at the event. Junos pulled nominations for Hedley, but his bad behaviour eventually landed a conviction in court. Most arts organizations are at least partially funded by tax money in Canada, that doesn't make them an arm of the government. Nor does politicians providing a blurb for festival programs, showing up to the opening of a cultural venue, appearing at a high profile event, or what-have-you. I'm quite sure the Government of Canada does not have a stance on Arcade Fire or its Juno nomination, unless there was a parliamentary session I missed. Many are surprised that the Junos missed this chance to virtue signal.

Oh, fuck off.
I'm sure that the singular "associate" isn't a typo but a coded reference to SOROS. Drop dead, you asshole.

Wording this politely, there isn't that much evidence on that front. Edge did a bit of New Orleans Katrina stuff. UK press have grilled them on this and taxes. Also see the $50 mil Edge spent on developing his large Malibu propert before having permits pulled and leaving him with nothing to show for it. I will say that I've suspected that Edge is the one anonymously bank rolling some of the Rory Gallagher dvds and box sets. U2 sound guy of 40-45 years used to work with Rory in the 70's. Some initially agreed to show up then changed their minds but wont say why. Others said no for controversial political figure Bono is photographed alongside with frequency. I also know some are trust fund kids or have doctor money. Hardcore U2 fans having young children, maybe 20 years ago.

I'm strict with the opinion that Larry is gone for personal rather than health reasons. One interesting tidbit bit is there isn't so much as a PHOTO of him working on the SOS project. He’s a real powerhouseEdge said the above quote about new drummer Bram is a shot at Larry who had wrist and strength issues on the last couple of tours. I still think its personal issue in the U2 camp being the biggest problem.

For a minute, let's agree Larry can't touch a stick for 12-18 months, starting now or 6 months ago: -Why has he not done even a hint of direct SOS promo, even some 30 second instagram throw or color vinyl unboxing video? -Or provided a single lick of evidence that he's appears on any of the 40 songs - even a photo of all 4 in the studio together in the past 5 years? In 2017 he did Kimmel, Norton and some Facebook thing. In 2018 he did a solo thing for Yamaha drums. Doesnt has to be a proper interview. I'm hoping for ANY concrete evidence he is even on SOS. Bono lies all the time. I think Edge has lied in recent interviews regarding no-shows without Larry(1979 and a 2015 dress rehearsal for a couple of dozen LN execs, contest winners and 200 fans outside) or not recording remotely before(Sinatra duet was is one example). With a private plane, the 4 band members would have had lots of travel freedom for close to 2 years now at the very least. Have they been sitting on SOS for 18-30 months The line about new management in late 2019 is interesting. Someone here suggested that Management or LN went after the @u2 website and Matt just nuked the whole thing. Another weird thing here is the Vegas promo shoot done in Mexico had a shot with all four of them walking away, but there is no close-up of Larry. BTW, the new drummer was born in 1983, at least he's older than Achtung Baby.

The only thing worse than a Beatard is a U2ard.
