' joey ................. i do not believe that jb is ever coming back  '

That being said, I think that the Rolling Stones would out-do U2 if both bands did a free tour across the globe. Meaning, more people would show up on average for Mick and Keith.

Sir Paul McCartney give Irish band The Script a masterclass

Irish rockers The Script have learned from the best.

The Celtic up and comers - comprising singer Danny O'Donoghue, guitarist Mark Sheehan and drummer Glen Power -- have wowed the public and their fellow hit makers with their latest album Science & Faith.

But this week Sheehan revealed he awestruck when The Beatles legend Paul McCartney took time hang out with the band and share some advice about playing to large crowds.

"I think the best advice was from Paul McCartney - that was a massive thing for us," Sheehan told the press this week.

"We got a chance to meet McCartney and you were definitely watching a masterclass right there. He came in and gave us his time, he just chilled out with us and hung out. The things he said about going into massive arenas and playing stadiums but still being able to tell the story of a song, pull the whole audience in and still make it intimate."

"I am still amazed at how big, how enormous a love and mystery God is -- and how small are the minds that attempt to corral this life force into rules and taboos, cults and sects."

Nelson Brothers tribute to their dad Ricky Nelson includes rare video of Paul McCartney

Speaking less than two weeks before hitting the streets with their first album in 11 years, "Lightning Strikes Twice," the identical twins Gunnar and Matthew, make no mention of new music, keeping the focus on their dad.

In addition to singing and talking at their shows, there's plenty of video in the tribute, showing the most televised rocker of the 1950s in action and letting a handful of his famous fans weigh in on Nelson's legacy.

Among the highlights of the tribute show for Gunnar is the part where Paul McCartney talks about their father's impact on the U.K. rockers of The Beatles' generation.

As Gunnar tells the story, "So you've got a guy like Paul McCartney coming out and saying, 'In England, we didn't even get the "Ozzie and Harriett" show. We just got the music and we thought Ricky Nelson was the famous Nelson.' "

McCartney even covered Nelson's enduring single "Lonesome Town" - in concert and on record. And Gunnar talks with pride of how his father's friend Bob Dylan often covered that same song in concert as a tribute after Nelson's death.  "

Bronze Monument to The Beatles to Appear in Tomsk

A bronze monument of the legendary Beatles will possibly be set up in Tomsk as soon as September, 2011.

Paul McCartney is planned to be invited for the unveiling ceremony. Preliminary cost of the project is 6 million roubles.

Tomsk sculptors Nikolay and Anton Gnedyh have come up with the idea to create a monument in the form of the well-known photo from the Abbey Road album's cover that depicts John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr striding on the crosswalk.  "

Glastonbury organisers have laid down the law to U2 and banned the stars from bringing their giant screens and spectacular stage props to the festival this summer.

Bono and the band will enjoy one of their finest hours when they headline the world's biggest festival in June.

But the stars won't be able to use any of the jawdropping effects from their record-breaking 360 degree tour because Glasto organiser Michael Eavis is insisting they "keep it real." Instead the Dubliner's will have to strip down their stage performance and use the same set as all the other acts. And last night a source close to the band revealed the stars will be ditching their set list that has been touring the world for the past 18 months, and instead perform a "greatest hits" gig for Glasto.

A band insider revealed last night: "Michael Eavis told the band it will be almost impossible to bring any elements of their current stage set to Glastonbury. There won't be room for the big screens and all the props on the Pyramid stage, so the band are having to completely redesign their show for the Glasto gig. Bono has already suggested they completely change the set list and do a greatest hits set. It means they'll only play a couple of songs off their last album and instead focus on the glory days. Songs including 'Where The Streets Have No Name,' 'Sunday Bloody Sunday' and 'With Or Without You' have already been put on the short-list."

U2 will be joining Coldplay and Beyonce as the main headline acts and play the Pyramid stage on Friday, June 24. Tickets for their Glastonbury appearance have already sold out with touts selling passes to the gig for up to £1,000 a pair.

A Glastonbury spokesman said: "Tickets are now securely identified and therefore cannot be resold."

By: m2 / @mattmcgee

U2.com has acknowledged that some fans are "unhappy" with the U2.com fan club, and is promising to investigate fans' concerns. The message, posted earlier today on the U2.com message boards, seems to be a response to the recent petition in which fans outlined several areas of disappointment. It mentions concerns over the Duals CD track list, fan club ticketing priority, customer service, and other issues listed in the online petition:

But it's not satisfactory that U2 fans feel aggrieved. So we're going to investigate all of your concerns, including customer service.

The message is signed by "The U2.com Team."

"The only people that put ice tea into Jack Daniels bottles is the Clash, baby!!"

" U2.com reported today that, as fans suspected, U2 will indeed play the Glastonbury Festival on June 24. On the website, The Edge makes the announcement in a brief video.

Tickets were already sold out for the event before you thought about it.  "
