A new U2 song, which the band performed during tour rehearsals, has made its way online. Gibson.com has the story (and the song!): U2 resume their 360 Tour on Friday in Turin, Italy, and the Irish rockers have been busy practicing at the city's Olympic Sports Hall Stadium. Fans have been camping out to hear what the boys have in store, and it seems that they might be playing at least one totally new song on this leg of the tour, according toRollingStone.com.

A practice rendition of the rocking tune has been posted in a video on YouTube. The band's rehearsals also have included some rarities, such as "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" from the Batman Forever soundtrack, which U2 have not played since the Popmart Tour in 1998. "Miss Sarajevo," from 1995's Passengers side project, and "Gone," from 1997's Pop, were also played.

The European leg of U2's 360� Tour continues through the October 8 show in Rome. The band's North American leg (originally planned for this summer, but rescheduled due to Bono's back injury) will begin May 21, 2011 in Denver, Colorado. - Check out the new song here
