U2 New Years Day Video

As we close out the year we thought about how we would like to end the year. Lots of choices came up. One suggestion was that we ask Nikki to be our guest writer again, of course we had request for our other guest writers Nikki was tops of the list. A suggestion came in for us to recap the tour, or even our thoughts of the next year. 

I thought I would end the year with something different. New Years Day the song was a major part of my life for such a long time. I thought I would ask you to vote on the best New Years Day video. The poll can be found on the front page of our site.

François KevorkianFrançois Kevorkian has Killer remix here from the 12″ Single “Two Hearts Beat As One”
Remixed by François Kevorkian. Contains some extra lines not on the album version

The Promo was filmed in Sweden, on a very cold December day in ’82 . So cold that some of the band got frostbite and for the horseback scenes the following day , they were replaced by four Swedish girls !!
Directed by Meiert Avis. Originally from the album ‘War’ produced by Steve Lillywhite and recorded at Windmill Lane, Dublin, Ireland

As they say in show business “Thats a wrap” We are finished for the year. This has been an interesting year for all of us. The tour was grand, the youtube rose bowl event epic and you the fan have been wonderful in your support of our work. Next year we will have lots of great new features. We look forward to sharing them with you. As always we welcome your feedback.

Cheers Dre

33 million people in the world have HIV. 22 million live in Africa. It costs around 40cents a day for the 2 pills that are needed to help keep someone living with HIV alive. Yet, more than 70% of the people in sub-Saharan Africa live on less than $2 a day. Because of you, to date $140 million has been sent to Africa through (RED) partners and events, which has supported programs that have helped reach 4 million people.

Thank you for fighting AIDS in Africa. Being (RED) is sexy.

ONE COLOR UNITES US on December 1st
