The Edge to be on 102.1 the Edge / Alan Cross Reviews 'Get On Your Boots'

[pop_mofo]

Anyway, don't know if anyone else heard this, but towards the end of the Dean Blundell show on Friday they mentioned that the Edge was going to be a guest this week. Don't know exactly what it is (it may be from when he visited Toronot as part of the film festival) but I would suspect that it's new and about the new single.

Just to keep you in the loop.

Awesome news! Thanks!

 

[Acrobat08]

[ladywithspinninghead]

Edge will be Toronto?

More like a phone-interview though.

Looks like the Edge (radio station) is getting all the goods - first Alan Cross's review then this!

Surprised more people aren't talking about this. Should be a show on in 4 hours.

 

[Numb1075]

well, if we don't hear the new single tomorrow, I bet that we get reviews from insiders (DJs etc.) at some point tomorrow

 

[Rosebud]

Thanks for the info!

 

[dabiggestu2fan]

yeah so the Ongoing history of new music show has aired already today? And no mention of Boots???

Also to note that Dave Fanning (on RTE radio 2FM) only has one show a week now I think, and it is on Sunday nights from midnight to 2am. So if the rumoured release date of January 19th is correct (being a Monday), then there is the possibility that Dave will play the new song on his show next Sunday night which starts at midnight, which is ouf course still technically the 19th!! Assuming of course that U2 follow tradition and let Dave have the worldwide premier of the new song. If that is going to be the case Dave could even make mention of that fact on his show tonight in order to build a bit attention for next week's show, so I might have to listen tonight as well.

 

[ramblin rose]

Who's going to be listening to Dave Fanning tonight, just for kicks? Maybe he'll mention something.

 

[macawaca]

He does also have the Dave Fanning Show on RTE Radio 1FM on Mondays to Fridays at 7pm, but I don't think they are as music orientated as the 2FM show. Not 100% on this though as I don't listen to the 1FM show. Anybody else know any more info on this???

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Ooh, interesting. Thanks for that.

Ive never listened to the 1FM show either, but i think that if Dave Fanning is going to play it, it will be on the Sunday night 2FM show next week (seems to reach a bigger audience ... if last Sunday was anything to go on this). I think most people who listen to 1FM wouldnt give a damn about U2's new single .. the last time i was forced to listen to 1FM the music was that bad my granny wouldnt even have listened to it!

 

[dan_smee]

ANyone listening to the shows have any news?

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Its funny how the radio station is called The Edge, and they are talking to Edge. Ah that makes me smile.

 

[Super Yo]

Here we are, another sunday listening to "The Dave Fanning Show".

 

[2861U2]

I just tuned in. I'll keep an ear out for something. *crosses fingers*

 

[Zoo_Fly]

Okay, I thought I'd post this here since the Alan Cross thread is closed, and this is semi-relevant...

I just received an email from Alan Cross, and he has said that he has prepared a long blog about GYBO/GOYB for monday. No other details were given, except for the link to the blog, where the info will presumably be up sometime tomorrow!

He should come here and post it, this is where all the fans are.

 

[Gilead12]

That is fantastic news.

Long... in depth...
