It's gonna take a month for me stop posting with an "!" at the end of every sentence!

Awesome track - Nice layering - Like Edge's guitar behind "Let me hear the sound"

 

[Bonostwin21]

I am the biggest U2 apologist out there. I dont see this being a big hit or garnering a lot of airplay in the states after the first week or so. It would make a quality b-side. Its funky and loose and simple. I expected epic. It is an ok tune.

 

[LuvandPeace1980]

not the single I expected at all.. I wonder if it will be huge?

I love it! .. it's good fun

 

[MrBTH]

can anyone else hear the crazy little sound in the background of the verses? Its like a violin being plucked or something...! It's superb!!

 

[Fullonedge3]

I am speechless. I have no speech

 

[chadd787]

this is AWESOME... totally not what i expected!

 

[bonocomet]

Where are we all meeting up before the show?

lets go!!!!

 

[flyvariax]

Sounds like the perfect blend of achtung, vertigo and pop.....LOVE IT!!!!!!

 

[Slopsy]

TOUR. NOW. I seriously can't waiiit!

 

[Slipstream]

I am digging this song! This is exactly what I wanted, something different again.

Is it just me or is that guitar reminiscent of Discotheque, especially at 2.55. You know the guitar in Discotheque already but turn it on and have a listen anyway from 1.07.

Also, the growl, what song has he done this in before? For the life of me I can't remember which one.

Ethan, you now that 2009 will be the year of U2 fan gatherings.

 

[suzannagirl]

I have just listened to the first single...brilliant...lots of great bass and a brilliant guitar rift from our lovely lad Edge....well done boys...I just want to listen to it over and over again really loud on a brilliant stereo with mega bass.... How does everyone else feel...excited....come on boys start announcing tour dates....you know you want to...

 

[Roland of Gilead]

whoever said it loops fantastically in itunes is right.

No kidding!!!! 27 minutes so far.

 

[dan_smee]

you can hear tht the end will segue into Stand Up, given the riff we've heard and that fact its also a dirty rocker

 

[zoo99]

does anyone else hear a motorcycle/car reving the engine right before the war between nations part ? right before the "let me hear the sound" ending, actually it might be a chainsaw !

 

[FitzChivalry]

lets go!!!!

Oh, don't worry . . . we will! And more than once!

 

[Harley.GirlU2]

I =

 

[luna_lovegood]

LOVE the chimes in the background
LOVE larry

LOOOOOVEEEEEE the "LET ME IN THE SOUND"

 

[VintagePunk]

I hear Queen...Beatles and some Zeppelinish drum breaks...

Yup!!

 

[zwervers2]

I am the biggest U2 apologist out there.

trust me, in here you are not

 

[SecretFly]

Dont worry you're not the only one who didnt think much to the song

I must admit it is a bit a slap in the face. Wasn't expecting this at all. I'm liking it just hope it grows on me more

 

[Dalton Brother]

WOW.....Fast cars meets Sgt. Pepper meets Miami meets lightening and gun powder????? What sounds!

 

[Maspox]

It's ... strange, ipnotic, funky, psychedelic... reminds something of Beatles...but still I haven't catch the song. This is the reason I like U2

 

[ramblin rose]

is there some sort of clapping going on?

 

[Harley.GirlU2]

larry did GREAT EVERYONE DID

 

[FitzChivalry]

Ethan, you now that 2009 will be the year of U2 fan gatherings.

Yay! Because I missed all the Vertigo tour ones. I didn't know y'all so well back then.

 

[silenus]

It was over before I knew...wich is very good.

 

[MMP]

Who cares about The Fly....this is better!!!!!!!! No, I'm not kidding!!!!!!!!
