U2 IN NYC #2: ENTIRE BAND WITH GUITARS, CHRIS MARTIN & MORE
Work on New U2 Album Continues
@U2, May 31, 2013

All four members of U2 were back at work today at Electric Lady Studios in New York City, where Danger Mouse has been mixing the next U2 album.
We had a reporter on scene for a few hours in the afternoon, after Bono, The Edge and Adam Clayton had already arrived. While there, our reporter saw Coldplay’s Chris Martin arrive, followed by Larry Mullen Jr. about two minutes later.
Shortly after that, a van arrived with three guitars — each with a white label that said “U2/Edge” — and our reporter actually helped bring the gear into the studio. (!) He saw Larry and Chris Martin together in another room before heading back outside. There was also a delivery of Ludwig drum heads; Larry’s drum tech, Sam O’Sullivan, signed for that delivery.
Bono’s assistant was there with what looked like a small case of clothes. The rumor is that there may be some kind of video shoot this weekend in the studio. Our reporter talked to the owner of a shop across the street from the studio, who said “they” (he thinks it was U2’s crew) bought props for a video shoot. (That said, there are often lots of TV and movie shoots in New York City, so this could be anything.)
Our reporter also heard some drum tracks from outside, but no full songs, and shot this brief video of Chris Martin leaving. Martin denied he was there with U2, even though our reporter saw him and Larry together in the studio.
Word is that U2 — or at least The Edge — are in town until Monday, so there may be more news over the weekend.
