Please sit down before reading. Kthx. By now, it's possibly the No. 1 question on every U2 fan's mind: What songs will U2 play on tour this year? Edge shares some possible answers in the new issue of Rolling Stone (with Green Day on the cover). Here's a snippet shared with us by @U2 Forum member, "The Exile."

RS: "What will the set lists be like?"

"We're talking about resurrecting songs we haven't played in a long time. I have a list of every U2 song -- some I can't remember anymore -- even some of the B-sides that we've never played live. We were thinking how much fun it would be to play something like 'Luminous Times.' Certain songs from the last couple of tours, we may not play again. We want to find songs that feel fresh and valid."

Bueno, viendo la cantidad de canciones que resucitaron en la anterior gira, no me extraña que en esta hagan algo parecido. Por otra parte a mi Luminous times no es una canción que me apasione, pero si la tocan bienvenida sea, todo lo que sean canciones "vírgenes" para mis oídos en directo me gusta.

"We'll play about half the album, and having played some in TV appearances, we know these songs translate well live. There's a few that will be up there with our best-ever live songs. Some of them we really have to rework -- 'Crazy Tonight' was a very keyboard oriented song on the album, but I took it to the guitar live, and it sounds great...."

También lo sabíamos, las que han tocado ya en directo están funcionando muy bien, hay himnos que estan a la altura de sus mejores canciones, y Crazy en la gira va a ser eso, una locura :)

Edge also says he "wouldn't rule out" singing lead on a song, and when Rolling Stone suggests "Numb," Edge promises to add it to the list of possibilities. Use the link to talk about all this in our forum. "

A mi numb tampoco me apasiona para que la toquen, antes metería Van Diemen´s land, que la canta también él y es mucho más bonita.
