I am so excited to hear/see some new U2 and am looking very forward to the new record dropping in March.
The first video/single is out and the video premiered today on U2.com.
Click here to see the video for “Get on your boots”.
Awesome stuff.
I love this song, the video leaked a couple weeks ago and I posted it to FB, within about an hour is was shut down. Killer riff but I still say, a heavy lift has been taken from Sir Declan McMannis vocally. Just the same – they still seem relevant to me.
I think you might mean that Bono has had a lift? Or, is this song somehow related to EC? And yes, this song is killer and I am so excited to for the new record.
If this suggests the overall character for the album, then it’ll be a great ride.
I think the single is like all other singles since “All you can’t leave behind”…it’s a big tease to get you into the other songs. They never repeat themselves (historically) and I view this song a lot like “Vertigo” from the last album (and it is also worth noting, “Get on Your Boots” is rather “Vertigo”-esque)…..big exciting track that makes you curious about the rest of the songs. For me, I take it at face value. They released a rocker up front but I am expecting tons of diversity from the only band at their level today willing to put their nuts on the line to do what they want.
