Alan Cross getting first listen to "Get Your Boots On"

[elevated_u2_fan]

are we not going to get anything from him until monday then at the earliest?

I'm going to get to hear the new U2 song "Get Your Boots On" in about an hour. Will report back.

This was posted about an hour and 1/2 ago...

COBL 2????

whats with the whole beautiful thing?

thanks for the lyrics though

It's odd, the beach clip chorus has a swaggering sarcastic feel to it. I was surpised when someone made out the "how beautiful" part.

Why do I care so much?

I don't think that's true. I think what happened is that the studio told him he'd be getting it sometime this week, and then maybe as a ploy to make sure he didn't leak it somehow? Gave it to him three days early. Whether or not he'll report today is anyones guess, but he's definitely heard it by now.

I'm not sure I follow that logic...could you explain that again?

And it has left him speechless.

I feel sorry for anyone who makes another [SPECULATION] thread while this one is going. This is going to be the only one anybody looks at until we hear something.

 

[Utoo]

Sweet.


Let's unencrypt this bitch.

 

[Yahweh]

Maybe it will leak this weekend...that would be nice

 

[rathergoblind]

I have to shut off my e-mail auto notification. It is updating like crazy!

Let's keep it simple.

January 8: I won't be hearing the single until Monday.
January 9: I'm hearing the single in an hour.

What are you going to believe, the older entry, or the newer one?

 

[Rosebud]

Oops..I didn't see that the blog post was from Jan. 8th..I thought it just came out. sorry.

Ok, what I'm saying is, he made the post about getting to hear it possibly by Monday only 9 hours ago, then, 7 hours later, he posted to say that he's hearing it today. Obviously he didn't expect to. So I'm thinking there was probably motivation on the U2 camps part, that's all.

THE POINT IS: He has it, he's probably heard it, he may or may not tell us what he thinks of it.

And it has left him speechless.

Imagine him casually chatting after the listening session, not knowing 120+ people are dying to get him to a computer and back on his blog as soon as possible.

 

[MMP]

I don't think you'll thank me once you hear it

Ok, I'm still mad at him
But I do laughed in some parts

 

[adypole]

Then we'll burn his house down!

Well, he better Twitter that he's killed himself so I can move on and think of something new to speculate about.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Twitter sounds dirty

Maybe they are making him listen to the whole thing (NLOTH)....thus we won't hear from him until the album is done! (ok ok it's unlikely!)
