U2 songs leaked on internet 'after fan records Bono playing tracks too loudly on his stereo'

By Peter Allen
Last updated at 2:07 AM on 19th August 2008

Tracks from U2's new album were posted on the internet illegally after singer Bono played them loudly.

A Dutch fan of the Irish group heard the music coming from Bono's holiday villa in the village of Eze-sur-Mere, near Nice, and recorded it on his mobile phone.

He then wrote about the recording on the U2 fan site Interference.com before posting the music on YouTube.

Although U2 have now managed to remove the four leaked songs from YouTube because of copyright violations, they have not been able to stop people trading them via email.

The quality is said to be poor - the noise of waves crashing on the beach and seagull cries can be heard in the background, but the new development in the world of pop music piracy is said to have concerned U2 greatly.

'They see Eze as a place where they can get away from it all, and play music as loud as they like,' said a near neighbour in the village.

U2 lead singer Bono and Queen Rania of Jordany are seen leaving Bruni's family property at the Cap NËgre, south of France, after a lunch with French President Nicolas Sarkozy and wife Carla yesterday

'Bono had the tracks playing on his stereo and people heard them outside, but nobody expected them to be recorded.'

Bono was pictured on Monday with Queen Rania of Jordany in Cap NËgre, south of France, leaving the family home of Carla Bruni Sarkozy - the wife of French president Nicolas Sarkozy.

His new album, which is expected to be titled No Line On The Horizon, is U2’s first for four years.

It has been recorded in conditions of absolute secrecy, with the band even hiring an isolated house in the medina of Fez, Morocco, to finalise some of the tracks.

Based on the information available on the internet, the leaked tracks were called Moment Of Surrender, For Your Love, Sexy Boots, and No Line on the Horizon.

Of course, advance publicity for the album won't hurt sales and there is an unerring similarity between this story and an incident from 2004, when the band’s last album, How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, were leaked after a CD was stole, again from the south of France.

U2, which was formed in Dublin in 1976, has sold more than 170 million albums worldwide, and has won more Grammy awards than any other band.

Eze-sur-Mere is hugely popular with holidaymakers because of its position on a beach below a medieval village dating back to the 12th Century.

************* JOEY NOW GIVES EULOGY *******************

My Joshy need not be idolized ;

Or enlarged at ' Shidobee ' beyond what he was at ' Rocks Off ' .

He IS to be remembered as a kind and decent man ;

A man who saw wrong and tried to right it ...

Saw suffering and tried to heal it ...

Saw War and tried to STOP it .

And those of us who loved him ** Young Joey's voice now cracking with visceral and heartfelt emotion *** ;

And who take him to his ' transition ' here today .

Know that what he was and what he stood for ;

Will someday come to pass for all the world .

As he said many times in many posts throughout the decades ;

" Some Men see message boards the way they are and say , ' Why ?!?! ' ..... ' WHY ?!?! ' .........

I dream of message boards that never were and say , ' WTF ?!?! ' !!!!!!!! "

I Thank You For Your time Today !

Scazz!

...cue chorus :

Has anybody here seen my old friend Joshy?

Can you tell me where he's gone?

He freed a lot of people,

But it seems the good they die young.

You know, I just looked around and he's gone.

Anybody here seen my old friend John?

Can you tell me where he's gone?

He freed a lot of people,

But it seems the good they die young.

I just looked around and he's gone.

Anybody here seen my old friend Martin?

Can you tell me where he's gone?

He freed a lot of people,

But it seems the good they die young.

I just looked 'round and he's gone.

Didn't you love the things that they stood for?

Didn't they try to find some good for you and me?

And we'll be free

Some day soon, and it's a-gonna be one day ...

Anybody here seen my old friend Bobby?

Can you tell me where he's gone?

I thought I saw him walk up over the hill,

With Joshy, Martin and John.

Baby Joe

" this ain't bringing JB back "

I miss Baby Josh !!!!

.....and you 's ?!

The Jew

Scattered by God's avenging hand, afflicted and forlorn,
Sad wanderers from their pleasant Land, do Judah's children mourn;
and e'en in Christian countries, few breathe thoughts of pity for the Jew.
Yet listen, Gentile, do you love the Bible's precious page?
Then let your heart with kindness move to Israel's heritage;
who traced those lines of love for you?
Each sacred writer was a Jew.
And then as years and ages passed, and Nations rose and fell,
though clouds and darkness oft were cast o'er captive Israel
the oracles of God for you were kept in safety by the Jew.
And when the great Redeemer came for guilty man to bleed.
He did not take an angel's name, no, born of Abraham's seed,
Jesus, who gave His life for you -
the gentle Saviour - was a Jew.
And though His own received Him not, and turned in pride away,
whence is the Gentile's happier lot? Are you more just than they?
No! God in pity turned to you - have you no pity for the Jew?
Go then, and bend you knee to pray for Israel's ancient race;
ask the dear Saviour every day to call them by His grace.
Go, for a debt of love is due
from Christian Gentiles to the Jew.
