I'll point out the JB hifi have altered the details for NLOTH
Standard CD $15.19
Ltd Cd $19.19
Ltd + Mag $21.59
Release date is still lsited at 6/3/09, but theres no way they wont do the regular thing for U2
So, basically, we'll hear the single within the next 2 weeks. I can deal with that.
Don't know whether this has been posted but this is a new article on @U2.com.

NEW @U2 NEW SINGLE COMING SOON
January 07, 2009
posted by: m2
We're hearing lots of buzz about the first single from U2's new album, which is expected to be "Get On Your Boots." Confirming anything has been a challenge today, but here's what we think we know:
* A fan in Boston tell us that WBCN radio announced on-air yesterday that the new U2 single will "hit the airwaves" next week. WBCN is, of course, a longtime U2-friendly radio station.
* But, a good source elsewhere is saying the single won't be on US radio until January 19.
We do know that U.S. radio stations typically receive new singles on Thursdays or Fridays for airing the following week. So, it sounds like the new single should be out in the next week or two at most. We've got feelers out in a bunch of places, and we'll update this as we hear more.
On a semi-related note, U2tour.de is reporting that the UK standard version of No Line On The Horizon will include a bonus track. The U.K. and Japan typically get these bonus tracks. U2tour.de also expects the bonus track will be available on some of the limited editions of the album, too.
I would trust WBCN. They had the first Boston (arguably first American) U2-friendly radio dj in Carter Allan. Carter now does mid day on WZLX 100.7 classic rock in Boston. I would say they will probably be receiving the single thursday(jan 8) or friday and it will be out on the radio for monday.
My official prediction, then, is Monday January 12, 2009 we will be discussing GYBO in this forum!
Yes. They are the hard rock station. But they used to play U2 pre-ATYCLB, ironically. As with Lazer, they picked up Elevation and Vertigo only. But they don't play U2 anymore. In fact when I was listening to them a few months ago eagerly trying to score me some Nine Inch Nails tickets, someone called in and they played the convo over the air. They said "Can you play Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me." I got excited and thought finally, some U2! And the DJ said "We don't play U2 anymore because they are sell-out hacks and mainstream adult top 40. Go listen to one of those other crappy Kansas City stations and I'm sure you can get all the Bono you want." Or something to that extent. It's not verbatim, but I remember that being a summary of what the DJ said.
Re Release Dates: We (central Europe) always get new albums on Fridays, while the official US release date is on Tuesday the next week. So there's a weekend in between.
I was just going to post that...
To be honest I don't understand why release albums on Tuesday
It doesn't make sense to me. New movies in theaters are released on fridays, why not new music?

I'm sorry but this is driving me nuts
Is It Get ON Your Boots (GOYB) or Get Your Boots ON (GYBO)??
Q says Get your boots on
RS says Get on your boots
I'm going insane here or what?
Spoke to Universal Sweden today and all they got was an mail on december 20th that was saying "Be prepared"... They will get the song via an digital file just before the radio airplay wich my contact thought it might be next week.
Getting information around HTDAAB from the record company before reelase was easy, but this time nobody knows for sure...
thanks for the info! yeah, it's definitely air tight this time around...
I don't mean to be negative, but I must admit I am not *that* excited to hear GYBO (compared to the excitment I usually feel when about to hear a new U2 song). I am much more looking forward to all the other songs on the album. Of course it's partly because we have a very good idea of what this song is (based on the beach clip), and it does seem a little bit like Vertigo part 2... which is why I think it's a strange choice for a first single.
I can see why would someone say this...
but really, is Discotheque a little bit like The Fly part 2? or wasn't Vertigo already called Elevaion part 2 by some people?

But what do I know? Maybe it will sound quite different when we hear the real thing. Still my expectations are not that high for this song, therefore they might be easily surpassed
^ true, but anyone who would download it for the sake of 4 days are the people who will buy it anyway. Theres no difference to stopping pirating, because those that will download illegally will do it anyway, no matter when it is released

Is It Get ON Your Boots (GOYB) or Get Your Boots ON (GYBO)??
Q says Get your boots on
RS says Get on your boots

Get your boots on sounds like more of an idiomatic Irish/UK phrase though, and I'd say that flows better because I'm so used to hearing it
