You've heard GET ON YOUR BOOTS? - Post all thoughts, reviews, discussion HERE

[rjhbonovox]

The chorus goes -
"You don't know....etc
You don't know how beautiful you are........."

Something like that. Its like that on the beach clip anyway.

 

[TheEdge1967]

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

Ok cool,
I forget where I read it. But it said the chorus speeds up to 150 bpm.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Stick it to the mainstream.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

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

Lucky there is Interference to pass the time.

 

[God Part III]

I have to say, after 70 times listens (so iTunes tells me), not only Bono is in top form, the production is great and I love Larry's drums. It's so exciting. I can't wait for the full song.

I'm starting a whole new semester in photography tomorrow but I can't go to bed from fear of missing a leak.

I really wish I had something to do today to make time go faster!

Narcotics?

it would be very strange to change the tempo that much. This is nowhere near 150 bpm. (closer to around 120, but i havent listened to it in 2 hours)

 

[mikeuk]

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?

no i dont think so _ I think the chorus (as such it is) comes at a diff place - second bit of the shawn bits maybe ?? mike

 

[Slopsy]

Narcotics?

Heh. Excellent plan. Unfortunately, coffee and fixated interference-ing will have to do

Holy poop I didn't realize that 30 second clip was in high quality. I thought people were talking about the low quality one from that guy's cell phone.

This sounds so frickin awesome... I love it, really. THIS is what I wanted from U2.

I'm trying not to assume that I'm going to love this song because I haven't heard the whole thing but.. wow. Too cool.

 

[God Part III]

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.

This.

Of course they changed it to Get On Your Boots instead. It makes so much sense. 90's-Bono is back.

 

[Sicy]

clipS?

Yeah.. beach clips, the 30 second clip, etc.

 

[shart1780]

I just heard that 30 sec clip and I must say HOLY **** too cool.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I thought the 30 second GOYB clip was low quality.

 

[digitize]

This thread will get to 50 pages before the song is even played on the radio tonight.

Wow, all this pre-album excitment means that I finally just passed the 1,000 posts mark after 8 years on this forum

There are 3 clips now, of different parts of the song.

2 are about 12 sec each of quite poor quality (but better than the beach clips), recorded from a cell phone by DJ Shawn (who is a woman btw)

The other more recent one is 22 sec and high quality, from an Austrian radio station that played it today. It's like listening to the real song in near-album quality, but it's not the whole song

haha, that would be just hilarious, we'll probably need 3 threads for the discussion though.

Aw bummer, I didn't get to hear the 22 second good quality clip.

 

[PowerSurge]

So at what time will people in the US be able to hear it first?
