[U2.com] In London, Shooting A Video

[elevated_u2_fan]

Hey, I said I liked the guitar...

Village People ending ftw!

 

[MrBTH]

electrical storm felt uneasy, and even a little random.

Hey it's art! I love the strange random vibe of it - it's like a mini Bergman pastiche. I bet French & Saunders could do a really good spoof of it...!

 

[BVS]

Village People ending ftw!

Makes my skin crawl

 

[Zoots]

Village People ending ftw!

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Makes my skin crawl

It's camp, man!

C'MON!

Honestly, the US version of Walk On was a low point imo - with the all the people running away or whatever - that made my skin crawl.

Hell, I liked the US version of Stuck more than that - at least it wasn't taking itself seriously...

 

[MrBTH]

Makes my skin crawl

Why such a strong negative reaction? I mean it was obviously completely tongue in cheek...

 

[Zoots]

I'm Too Sexy could beat those videos...

I'm a model you know what I mean
And I do my little turn on the catwalk
Yeah on the catwalk on the catwalk yeah
I shake my little touche on the catwalk

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

on the catwalk, on the catwalk, yeah....

 

[BVS]

Why such a strong negative reaction? I mean it was obviously completely tongue in cheek...

I love tongue in cheek, and I'm even a fan of camp if done right, but that was just pure cornball, it served no purpose of irony or anything.

 

[u2search]

....it almost feels like to could come up next with a "by the way the album will be out next week...other than that nothing really exciting" type of news!

Wouldn't THAT be cool!? But unlikely I guess.

 

[Mrs. Garrison]

anybody think this new video will debut during halftime of the National Championship game on jan 8th?

Go Sooners

 

[dan_smee]

So all those in the other threads crying saying there is no way it will be out before march...?

 

[Gonna Run 2 U]

Maybe Will I Am worked with them for get on your boots. Will Kanye West make an appearance in the video

 

[u2search]

A-fucking-MEN!

They've basically been consistently awful with their videos since Beautiful Day, which was the only good one in the '00's.

I totally disagree! Actually I find the video's for Saints and the historic one for Windows among their best of all time.

 

[waynetravis]

Could we have a song before the new year??

Bono wanted to make 2009 their year, why not release something on day 1

 

[phommel]

First single video ?

"but there may have been some marching girls, with their boots on, involved."

Sexy boots ?

only boots ?

 

[Clawgrabber]

i agree regarding the US Walk On.
Simply awful. I said to myself "way to go Liz Friedlander... you found a way to make one of their best songs (at the time) boring as all hell"

That was my fave track on the album for a while. That video did NOT do it justice.

 

[Clawgrabber]

Maybe Will I Am worked with them for get on your boots. Will Kanye West make an appearance in the video

cringe. shiver.

i love me some u2. i even love j swallo and fortunate son (okay, sorta) but if i have to wait 5 years for a collab with will.i.am i might just cave and start listening to the jonas brothers.

according to rolling stone, their record is one of the 50 best of the year!


there should really be a vomiting smiley. Who do i talk to about that?

 

[MrBTH]

Its not very good though... Should be a bit more "throw up" than "dribble"

 

[BluRmGrl]

Video shoots.... leaked song snippets...rampant speculation regarding the first single's title and its release date. Maybe for my February wedding anniversary or my March birthday I should be asking for the new U2 CD????? ray:

 

[mikal]

So all those in the other threads crying saying there is no way it will be out before march...?

i basically said if we don't hear any concrete news soon, we can expect March. not sure if this news means we'll hear the new single in a week, 2 weeks, or a month, so we'll see. i'm definitely happy that we're finally hearing some kind of news though. i'm still thinking March for the album.

 

[BluRmGrl]

there should really be a vomiting smiley. Who do i talk to about that?

Have you met 'Barfy'?

 

[atomicman]

Radio play before the new year, single released in Jan and album in Feb! My guess anyway

 

[BEAL]

Yeah, doesn't really give too much information. You figure probably take at least a week to shoot the film. Then another few days to edit and produce it.

I really think we'll hear some news before the holiday, but that doesn't mean the album will be out sooner.

What is refreshing is that it appears as though they figured out what song to lead off the album. Probably means a album name is soon to be known....

 

[josh82]

Well for some of you that think new U2 videos are crap, check out videos for Yahweh and Man and a Woman
YouTube - U2 "Yahweh"
YouTube - u2- "a man and a woman"

 

[Clawgrabber]

Its not very good though... Should be a bit more "throw up" than "dribble"

haha, yeah it should be in profile, with the spew in an arc pattern. preferably green.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Get On Your Boots!

Very interesting news, hope more comes soon.

I would be okay with GOYB as the lead single although I would prefer Breathe.

Anyways, lets re invent goddamn ROCK N ROLL!

 

[BloodRedSky2k5]

I totally disagree! Actually I find the video's for Saints and the historic one for Windows among their best of all time.

Yeah. COBL was magnificent. ABOY was a fun video. My favourite would have to the US video for Stuck... , always loved Joseph Khan's work.

 

[purpleoscar]

Get on your boots will be a good lead single because people want to hear some rock. With Clip 3 sounding in low quality we will still hear something different in the mix. I can barely hear some high pitched synthesizer in the background on the beach clip but it will be much better in clear audio. It may have been a song that was re-recorded as well. There will still be a surprise, especially to those who haven't heard the beach clips yet.

 

[dan_smee]

Well for some of you that think new U2 videos are crap, check out videos for Yahweh and Man and a Woman
YouTube - U2 "Yahweh"
YouTube - u2- "a man and a woman"

but U2 didn't make them?? arent they fan vids?

Yahweh may be the graphic off the screen from the vertigo tour (dont know cant watch at work), but its still not an official release
