[solaris]

Alan Cross, host of 102.1 The Edge's (Toronto) most famous program, "The Ongoing History of New Music", and one of the greatest encyclopedias that has documented the U2 phenomenon, announced on twitter several hours ago that he is having his first listen to the new single "Get Your Boots On". Keep an eye on his twitter account, for feedback due soon.

Update:

Expect to hear "Get On Your Boots" on the radio within ten days. Maybe sooner. Check www.u2.com for the latest.

There are a lot of electronic sounds. Larry plays some kind of electronic drums, too. Bono rhymes "submarine" with "gasoline."

The original title was "Sexy Boots." Then it was "Get Your Boots On." Now it's "Get On Your Boots." Sheesh.

It was supposed to be a secret until Monday, but the new U2 single will be called "Get On Your Boots" (note the subtle title change.)

Watching anxiously.

Would be quite funny see the reaction if he simply posted 'Sorry guys, its shit'.

 

[LemonMelon]

A week, guys. Just hold on another week and I'm certain we won't need to [SPECULATE] any further.

I'm hoping that won't happen.

Might be quite a bit less time than that, depending on the conditions surrounding this type of listening party.

We might get a bootleg first!

Who wants to make odds on the likelihood of comparisons to Vertigo?

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I like Alan Cross... that dude is alright

 

[macfisto]

So it's "Get your boots on" and not "Get on your boots"?

 

[PowerSurge]

"Get Your Boots On" he says..

Thats what I was thinking.

So its confirmed then? GYBO it is.

 

[bram]

So it's "Get your boots on" and not "Get on your boots"?

Yes, I believe this change has been official (via the mags) for a couple weeks.

 

[bono_212]

So it's "Get your boots on" and not "Get on your boots"?

Looks like it.

 

[2861U2]

So it's "Get your boots on" and not "Get on your boots"?

Good. I know it's a small and irrelevant detail, but I prefer the former over the latter.

 

[MMP]

I'll always call it SEXY boots

Damn, I'm freaking out

 

[popacrobat]

Grammar ftw.

 

[bram]

How long ago did he post that?

 

[bono_212]

And I'm now following him

 

[LemonMelon]

How long ago did he post that?

It says about 1 hour ago, but the original post says "several hours".

Eh. It will be soon.

 

[bono_212]

How long ago did he post that?

About an hour ago

 

[bono_212]

It says posted 1 hour ago, but the original post says "several hours".

Eh. It will be soon.

His "tweet" shudder: ) says:

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

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

It says over an hour ago

One thing I will say about him is that he is obviously a fan, not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing for impressions about the song

 

[Registered Dude]

How long ago did he post that?

according to twitter, roughly an hour ago. so he's conceivably listening to it right now

 

[coemgen]

I'm going to get to hear the new U2 song "Get Your Boots On" in about an hour. Will report back.
about 1 hour ago from web


Holy crap. So, any minute now we'll be hearing something?
