Yep thats been added. In the beach clip theres a nice bit of guitar in the middle where edge is going a bit crazy with the wah wah on his guitar. Hope they kept that in, be mighty pissed if they didn't!

I'm staying up until it's out. And then a while longer, just so I can listen to it enough that I won't have any desire to play it again while I'm trying to sleep.
Me too god help me.

Why do you say that? Vertigo was very mainstream. And very popular.

I had me first listen to the 22 sec clip. I'm actually pleasantly surprised that I kind of like it or maybe it's just because it's new. The music quality sounds amazing at any rate.
The one thing that I do like, is the music itself sounds different from the last two albums. It's got serious funky vibe to it. Not really my cuppa tea but we'll see if it grows on me. It's all very exciting anyway!!

MY GOD, I JUST GOT IT
The song is about the Middle East!
"I've got a submarine, you've got gasoline"
"rockets hit the funfair, satan loves a bomb scare"
Bono, I salute you

Well it's only 22 seconds but I really like it. It's got an awesome flow to it. really groovey. I wonder if Bono is going for a ryhming record though Kiss, Twist, This everywhere, fair, scare . Awesome

I wasn't around for that discussion...
But I love that the first single is a political song in disguise.
(This may sound stupid, I first thought of the submarine/gasoline lyric as sexual)

Are you sure we've heard the chorus?
I read somewhere that we haven't heard the chorus yet.
Is the "Sexy boots" really the chorus?
What do you guys think?

Could be. Interesting interpretation. There is obviously some war/political thing going on. As it is often the case, there are some sexual innuendos mixed up too, which means that the song is not about what it first appears to be (sexy boots). This is Bono at his best IMO (but we'll see for the rest of the song and album)
I'm quite liking the lyrics so far, not entirely straight-forward, which is great.

yeah, the chorus can be heard in the beach clip, its a nice change up lyrics along the line sof you dont know how beautiful you are

It's not stupid, that's what I thought first too. But it's also clearly a political/war reference at the same time. Same thing with the 'boots' thing: can be sexy boots a woman is wearing, or military boots.

I really cant wait to hear the whole song. Love the clips so far. HURRY UP TIME.
