Just heard "The Saints Are Coming" on my local radio station!!

[Jeannieco]

I posted this in the news forum also but I thought I should herealso...I live in Seattle and 103.7 The Mountain ( Rated the 5th best radio station in the US) did a big time plug and the DJ even spoke about Music Rising. They play U2 all the time!
Isn't that great?? Has anybody else heard it on their local stations???

 

[The Disciple]

I'm assuming this was the LIVE version from Monday?

 

[corianderstem]

I heard the live version Tuesday morning on The Mountain!

 

[Edgette]

They've been playing it here in Chicago on a couple of stations. 93.1 WXRT and 101.1 Q101. They always mention Music Rising too.

93.1 here is playing the full live set as well as the studio version. 101.1 is playing the studio as well.

Nope, it was the studio verision. It didn't have Bono's ad-lib but it sounded great!

 

[The Disciple]

Awesome.

 

[Bono's Betty]

They played the whole performance on the radio the other day here.

 

[blindinglights]

You can now hear the studio version on AOL btw. sounds good!

 

[BluRmGrl]

I haven't heard it on my local rock station yet - sadly, not surprising - but one of the DJ's did mention the performance Tuesday afternoon & said it would be available soon, so I have hope that maybe they will throw me a bone & play it this weekend.

Crappy no selection markets =

 

[Carek1230]

OMG I am going to check if any of the local radio stations in So Calif are playing it.

 

[pepokiss]

I read in atu2.com that there are boom-chas involved... I HAVE TO HEAR THAT !!

 

[MrBrau1]

the Boom-Cha thingy has been WAY overstated.

 

[susanp6]

I heard it and didn't like it

 

[Bono's Betty]

I didn't hear any Boom-Cha's

 

[bono_212]

There IS a studio version? I'm so confused



EDIT: Neeeeeevermind....found it

 

[bazza]

[vaz02]

[schnumi]

Anyone can help with finding it?

http://mp.aol.com/audio.index.adp?pmmsid=1726909 this is the studio version.

I really like it, has an Edge to it I havent heard for awhile if you know what I mean

 

[Bono's Betty]

I heard the studio version here today as well!! It was on a count down, number 18 I think it was.

 

[ponkine]

I didn't hear any Boom-Cha's

Pay attention before the choruses at 1:37 and 2:46

Let's Go Discotheque

BOOM CHA HEH!

 

[RockNRollDawgie]

I heard the studio version as well. It's not a bad tune, and I'm not what you'd call a Green Day fan.
I'm seriously wondering what's going on with Bono?
First, the "Pop"-ish hair cut, and now doing "BOOM cha" in a tune.
LOL

 

[Thora]

I heard it on 99.3's Furious 5 @ 5 a week ago. Just caught the last few seconds of it, but it was great to hear it!

 

[mediaman44]

They play it on a couple of stations here in Utah. I love it. It is very different, but maybe this is there new direction.

Can't wait till 11/21

 

[powerhour24]

There are definitely Boom Chas involved and I wasn't even aware of that before listing to it, they just jump out at you, the world needed more of them anyway.

It's weird since it's not even officially released as a single yet but good to know it's getting radio play.

All you have to do is go to u2.com and it begins streaming.

Personally I love it and this is coming from a GD hater, of course I describe it as great in spite of GD not because of haha.

 

[LyricalDrug]

BOOM CHA was the first thing I noticed... made me chuckle when I heard it.

 

[BluRmGrl]

My local rock station has finally started playing the track. In the little bit of radio I've listened to over the last 3 days, I've already heard it twice. Makes me smile every time.... course, I'm such a feckin' U2 geek I smile every time I hear them on the radio. Or a PA system. Or on TV/in a movie - well, you get the drift.
