GET ON YOUR BOOTS VIDEO HAS LEAKED.. :D AND I HAVE SEEN IT! and its fuckin great!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man little Chris Martin will be so happy to be playing at the same event as Sir Bono and Thom Yorke.

link link link!

where?!? :shocked2:

Going around youtube, the video doesn't seem to have leaked, but apparently the album did. there are vids for each song, and it looks legit... Don't have audio on the computer I'm using, otherwise I'd be tempted.

here's a link: http://www.mediafire.com/?ytt3kjqywgw

its not on youtube cuz it will get yanked off so fast by universal.

Just saying what I see, check it out yourself. And thanks for the links, I'll check it out later.

IMO.. i don't like the audio/video on youtube.. quality kinda stinks.. but if the album is up on youtube it won't be for much longer.

Holy cow, that is one tripped-out, psychadelic, massively overproduced video. Awesome. :stunned:

Actually makes me like the song. :P

The video is a really poor attempt to create a James Bond-like intro movie (you know what I'm talking about, right?)...IMO, I don't like it.

 

I also wish that something else new from their album at the Grammys will be played on the band instead of GOYB, something that may make me want to buy No Line on The Horizon.

Yeah, I hope they've payed attention to all the negative feedback they're getting. Maybe they'll start plugging another, far different single to win back our compliments before the album is released.

^ i haven't seen any negative reviews from media sources (if there are any I would like to see them) only fans.. The band is certainly not gonna pay attention to the message boards around the 'net. They have their reasons as we all have ours for liking/disliking stuff. I am sure tho that the album itself will be something quite amazing. Just hang in there folks until March 3 or even sooner.. I really like the video, it helps explain the song or put it into better perspective. Just my IMO.

I'm sure it'll be amazing too. But I haven't heard/seen a fan anywhere who isn't at least a little bit dissapointed by GOYB. And even outside of message boards, I'm sure word has carried to the ears of King Edge and Princess Bono that their people are restless.

naw.. i doubt the boys give a shite about what is going around with a small amount of fans who aren't happy with it.. And yet, U2 fans are never satisfied (this I know the boys know about) they always have something to complain about (cuz this has been going on since day one, I have been a fan for over 22 yrs so I have seen a lot of this). *shrug* Even moi doesn't like everything they do but admire them tremendously for trying and venturing into new territory cuz that's what they want to do and making music for the sake of enjoying it not to just satisfy the public.

I like that "Boots" is getting mixed results. ATYCLB and HTDAAB, in my opinion, were very safe plays after the Zooropa and Pop albums. I am glad they are going back to being a little more experimental...even if I don't like everything.

new u2 to be played during the super bowl! Here comes the promo train!! :D

gonna have to watch for that then! Interesting thing about the super-bowl is there's no good time to leave the T.V. because the commercials are just as exciting :P

That's for sure. ugh it's not like I wanted to watch the game cuz neither team I like but now I am because of the music . lol:laugh3:

I take bathroom and beverage breaks when the actual game is playing. I only stay attentive for the commercials and maybe halftime.

Heck, I just found out only two days ago what teams were playing. :lol:

 

 

 

:P

:laugh3:

 

Nice.

 

And Get on Your Boots is pretty good. Especially the "LET ME IN THE SOUND!!!" part.

:laugh3:

yep.. love that part too.. Especially in the video where bono takes the mic stand and bangs it on the ground, breaking the glass.. :cool:

yes, the song works even better with the video. i think many people haven't realized that phrase sexy boots is about SOLDIERS BOOTS....and the video explains the lyrics very well.

One of my main complaints is about it's strong similarity to vertigo. The riff, the rythm, the choppy vocals during the verse etc...AND, as you point out, the trick of hiding political and/or religious content behind seemingly sexual vocals. If you want to show how much you've changed in the past year, GOYB's doesn't quite cut it.
