Rock n' Roll Doggie
Just voted 10x for it on KROQ's website!
That's because MMR truly does rock! Is Pierre Robert still there?
Ok people, we've only got 4 votes on this since I posted it - lets gets some more people involved, it literally takes one second to click on 5 stars for U2!! (I'm trying to do my little part here in SD, every little bit helps! )

The dying corp. giant that is the record industry will play it to death themselves. U2 is one of the last cash cows, and the same people that own the record companies, radio stations, and venues will make sure we all here it until nauseum. The people talking between songs do not decide what to play.
Requested it on KROQ! That Perez Hilton article is stupid. First off ... Get on your boots is still listed twice in the top 100 on itunes. If you combined those two it would be higher than 37. Although, the second listing has fallen into the 80's so maybe it has been removed and people can no longer download it. It was in the 50's or even higher yesterday.
Second of all.. the new Kelly Clarkson song got automatic airplay on the top 40 stations. XM Sirius's "20 on 20" plays it every five minutes. At their advancing age, U2 have to fight their way onto those types of stations. For instance, on the 20 on 20 website you can already vote for the Clarkson song. Boots isn't listed.
guys apparantley its no use in the US as according to GibsonExplorer in the other thread its already a commercial flop, just thought i would let you know.

U2 IS DOOMED!
The album will flop and the band is going to break up. Next time we see any of them is when we're being handed our Big Mac and fries.
Indeed i still remember how a certain terrible german childsong called "sni sna snappy" was holding U2 from the number one position in the Top 40...Who cares if it's on radio or not. All that matters is that you like it or not. Popular radio has nothing to do with the quality of a song. In the Netherlands even a ringtone can get the top spot. We have got to stop to try to spread U2's music like it is some kind of religion and everybody has to like it. Young kids are these days the dominant factor in determing if something is going to be played on radio or not. That is why I don't understand why U2 is trying to target a younger audience. At least that is what Bono has sometimes said. They want some singles on every record. I don't see the point really.It must be enough for them to just make the music they like and not worry about geographics. I like Boots a lot. It could have been just a little bit more obscure but stil, a great song. Who cares if other people like it. I enjoy it and that is good enough for me.
The second listing is alive and well. You can still download it. Nobody chooses to.
And take the Perez Hilton article seriously. Negative press is what killed POP in the US.

Vertigo never became number 1 because of child song... Way to go Holland.
We're being denied our Boots here in SD!! It sucks! I haven't heard it yet on any station, although some of the stations (like 91X, Star) have mention of it on their websites. Weird.
On a positive note, this is now up to 20 votes for Boots! Keep the votes coming, maybe someday us poor folk in SD will actually hear it on the radio!

If they truly are starting the tour in Europe instead of the US that shows that they know the US will take more time to warm up to the record and they are not repeating the mistake of starting the tour in a place where the album hasn't had time to hit.
