[SPECULATION] U2-new single on New Years Eve

[topplehatU2]

I forgot about the fact that Winter is going to be in that movie that comes out in late February, which means we might get a taste of it before the album comes out.

 

[Reggie Thee Dog]

U2's last March release...1997 - Pop

Single leaked (by one Interference) hit the 'net in December of '96...single hit the stores in late January of '97...

My guess, new single...second week of January...there is a lot of secrecy involved with this CD...

I, for one, like it...

late January (23rd)

the movie is called Brothers

 

[Angtre01]

No they didn't.

Discotheque made it's worldwide debut on the Dave Fanning Show at 8:30pm on Tuesday 7 January 1997.

I am supremely confident that the new single will also debut on the Dave Fanning Show. He's on holidays at the moment and I'm not sure when he returns. But I'll bet anything that the new song debuts around Wednesday in his first week back.

In the US it debuted at midnight via WBCN Boston

Hopefully they or Carter Allen at WZLX will do the same this time around. ray:

For what it's worth. I got this from U2miracle.com...
My Spanish is far from perfect, but it says that the new single will be there on 6 January and the album available on Itunes from Mid-February

¡Feliz día de los Inocentes! En España se celebra cada 28 de Diciembre el día de los Inocentes en la que la prensa, las televisiones... ponen noticias de bromas en los medios.

U2Miracle.com ha elegido ésta como su noticia broma del día y ha tenido una importante repercusión en foros, webs, blogs, tanto nacionales como extranjeras. Esperamos no haber molestado a nadie y solo hemos querido hacer una broma que fuera creíble para este día de los Inocentes.

El próximo 6 de Enero en el Moscone Center de San Francisco (EE.UU) tendrá lugar la presentación inaugural de la Macworld. Hemos podido conocer por medio de Pedro Aznar, coordinador jefe de la web española Applesfera, que está confirmada la presencia de los miembros de U2 en San Francisco.

Según Pedro Aznar, la presentación será dada por Philip Schiller, vicepresidente senior de Marketing de Producto Mundial de Apple y en la misma será presentado en directo el primer single "Get Your Boots On" y Apple sacará el 16 de Febrero una edición especial del iPhone (RED).

El single "Get Your Boots On" estará a la venta en primicia el mismo día 6 de Enero y el nuevo disco de U2 se podrá comprar en la iTune Store dos semanas antes de su lanzamiento. Junto con el disco incluirá cinco temas que no serán publicados en la versión CD, más el video de la canción "Get Your Boots On". También se pondrá a la venta la reedición del toda la discografía de U2, "The Complete U2", que ya publicó en el año 2004, actualizada con los nuevos temas del disco "No Line On The Horizon".

Agradecemos a Pedro Aznar que se haya puesto en contacto con nosotros y U2Miracle.com os ofrecerá el próximo 6 de Enero a las 19:00 horas un seguimiento de la presencia de U2 en la Macworld.

Unfortunately, you missed the first line where they're saying Happy December Fools day.
It was a joke, they fabricated the whole story.

 

[bram]

So we may very well have two different-sounding "singles" before March 2. Cool. I'm intrigued by the Simon and Garfunkle reference from Q, which sounds very un-U2 to me.

Same thing in French:

U2 sera au Macworld le 6 janvier où il présentera son premier single extrait du prochain album "No Line On The Horizon".

Le 6 janvier sera le jour d’inauguration du Macworld au Moscone Center à San Francisco (USA). Pedro Aznar, coordinateur en chef de la filière espagnole Applesfera, a confirmé que les membres de U2 seraient présents à San Francisco.

Selon Pedro Aznar, la présentation sera donnée par Philip Schiller, vice-président du secteur marketing chez Apple. A cette occasion, sera présenté en direct le premier single du nouvel album de U2 "Get Your Boots On" et Apple devrait commercialiser, le 16 février, une édition spéciale de l’iPhone (RED).

Le single "Get Your Boots On" sera en vente le même jour (le 6 Janvier donc) et le nouvel album de U2 disponible sur iTunes deux semaines avant son lancement. Parallèlement à cela, seront mis à disposition des internautes la couverture de l’album, cinq titres bonus qui ne seront pas disponibles sur la version CD et le clip du single "Get Your Boots On". La réédition de l’ensemble de la discographie de U2 ("The Complete U2" sortie sur iTunes en 2004 pour rappel) sera à nouveau mise en vente mais sera enrichie de morceaux issus du futur album "No Line On The Horizon".

Nous sommes très reconnaissants à Pedro Aznar pour être entré en contact avec nous et pour avoir offert cette news à U2Miracle.com.

apparently U2 will be in San Francisco the 6th of Januari, the album will be available via itunes 2 weeks prior to cd release AND there will be 5 more songs available which are not on the album..

oh, crap

 

[LemonMelon]

It's a particularly shitty joke because their scenario is not particularly absurd. They should have said Bono was leaving U2 to join the priesthood or something.

 

[ramblin rose]

oh, crap

I guess you missed this thread yesterday.

It wasn't pretty.

 

[Galeongirl]

oh, crap

The French looks like it's literally translated from the Spanish. So it's the same joke.

Ah well, we can't get it all. I wish I knew someone in the Dutch record store business.. I only know someone who knows someone at Mojo.

yes, I was not online yesterday, but sometimes, these days, I don't think that's all that bad.
This place is going

 

[Vlad n U 2]

We should put some people in a coma and wake them up when the single is out, it would be a win-win situation.

I'm new here, but I guess this place went like this when HTDAAB was coming out

 

[hardyharhar]

Maybe the new single will also be called New Years Eve. The long awaited prequel to New Years Day.

Think of the possibilities

 

[Rosebud]

Or,

how about the sequel to New Years Day?

Ungodly Hangover Day perhaps?

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Hangover Day at Hanover Quay.

 

[Rosebud]

We haz a winnah!

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Fits together perfectly, thanks for that rosebud.

We'z gotz a matsch!

 

[Rosebud]

Now let's go tell U2...

cuz thay haz tuh lissun tuh us.

 

[david]

All is quiet on New Years Eve.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Now let's go tell U2...

cuz thay haz tuh lissun tuh us.

hoo noes wherr they's ar now?

Wonder what they're upto now, holidays with familiez?

 

[djparky]

I know we all (mostly correctly) watch the past patterns with U2 releases, but for releases in general, the time between a first single release and album drop are narrowing quite a bit. Not to hose all of this down, but a first week of January single release for a first week of March album is a huge gap circa 2008/9.

it is changing- have noticed that the single tends to be released in phases- there will be an i-tunes release followed by a limited physical single release usually a week or two before the album comes out. In the UK anyway singles have become almost irrelevant nowadays

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

We have already been told the video for the single has girls with marching boots... ^

and we've already been told that there were long scenes with motorcycles shot, a blue screen sequence, yadda yadda yadda.

just because someone said something...
a) doesn't mean it's for the first single, could be a second or third
b) doesn't mean it'll ever be used, period
c) doesn't mean it's true

not to mention that u2 has in the past released different singles for different regions... with different videos to go along with them. bono gets thrown out of a van vs. bono's a crappy field goal kicker, etc. etc.

the movie that "winter" is in will be out before the album is out.

I think your (b) option is the only legitimate one considering that this came from U2.com (unless they were intentionally trying to mislead people). Also, the first single has always been universal.

And (b) is unlikely of course.
