I got on "Boots" this morning! (Single review)

[U2Fanatic4ever]

They're talking about U2Fan101's post!

oh well, it would help if they quoted him.. sheesh

 

[macawaca]

Maybe he doesn't even like U2?? Poor little bass/piano player!

 

[dan_smee]

I think having the pre release thread was just a bad idea, I mean how is that really going to work. Unless one person emails everyone...

of course it wasn;t. I posted on like page 22 that it was a stupid idea, and by the time I reloaded the page, it was half-way through page 23

Dunno. But they're all going to get lots of spam.

Anyone know how to re-engineer a spambot to send out MP3's instead?

 

[U2Fan101]

We've heard the beach clip, and I'm going to take the reviews of Cross, who admitted that the song was really complex, and skott100, who is enough of a megafan to post on this forum, more seriously.

And I really want the song to be good.

I'm hoping so too. And the beach clip sounds nothing like Vertigo and Elevation. I think this DJ was just expecting something in the line of Zooropa/Passengers(he thinks those are the greatest U2 albums ever, if not his favorites ever.)

I'm still hoping this will be nothing like the last two albums.

 

[macawaca]

what's the record for the fastest growing thread?

They shouldnt get spam since this this forum cannot be viewed unless you are logged in.

Sorry, I thought my quick reply would have gone immediately after, but I did not take in account the twelve posters that clicked submit reply in the meatime.

 

[vaz02]

My opinion is all that matters to me.

 

[Rob33]

I Definitely don't believe him - Though it sounds like it's been made more electronic and rhythmic, beach clip #3 is NOTHING like Elevation or Vertigo...
A lazy reaction by a U2 hater by the sounds of it...

Actually I just listened to the beach clip for the first time in a little bit and I do agree with you about the Elevation aspect to it...it sounds hardly at all like Elevation judging from the beach clip, but it does have a slight Vertigo vibe to it in terms of the vocal structure during the verses....

 

[Zoots]

what about it do u not believe?

Damn so he has obviously got taste then if he loves those two albums. If he says it's shit maybe he is on target

Skott...

Some questions....

What are your thoughts on Vertigo and HTDAAB? Do you like this U2 era?

NOTE: This is NOT an opportunity for ppl to post their own thoughts on this, there are plenty of other threads for that.

I emailed the review I was given to the DJ's at KC's 96.5 The Buzz and Jason Ulanet, the Asst. Music Director and bass player/pianist for The Belated responded with this:

"I heard Get On Your Boots today.

Big disappointment, but also not a surprise. Sounds A LOT like Vertigo and Elevation."

That just totally ruined my buzz, no pun intended.

Evidently, an upbeat song with distorted guitars = Vertigo ripoff

Have these people listened to more than five albums, or are they just ridiculously myopic?

 

[stealthboy]

Do these people own more than five albums?

 

[slimongi]

And yes, I can confirm it is indeed Beach Clip 3, although it may be a different mix/arrangement.

Can u call this song experimental like The Fly or zoo station was?

thanx

I think there's some software that pick up anything that has a @ in it and sends spam automatically. At work we have started writing emails like this on our websites to avoid the rubbish: name[at]domain.com
but maybe forums are more protected... but... even if i am not logged in i can still visit, can't I?

No, if you are not logged in, the thread titles can be viewed, but if you try to open any of the threads you are asked to log in... so the spam bots shouldnt be able to get in here.

Please let's not jump to any conclusions! And also I think it's better not to expect anything even remotely close to Zooropa, Pop or Passengers. I'm expecting a slightly more interesting ATYCLB.

lol.

Half an hour in a setlist party would be more like 25 or 30 pages, lol.
