BTW, what happened to the second version of the video (leaked pictures from the artist's blog)?

 

[LyricalDrug]

Anyone think that GOYB will be the opening song each night on the tour? I think it could work...

"Meet me in the sound!" tour

 

[Danny Boy]

More like "The Future Needs a Big Kiss" Tour from what Bono was hinting at.

Which, really, is a horrible name for a tour.

Boots Album Version Too Sanitised?

Ive been listening to the live versions of Boots and i wonder if the album version isnt rocky and "hard" enough.This song is made for a really heavy sounding dirty riff and i dont think the studio version does that enough.

 

[Niceman]

It will be better when they master it live.... today's performance for the culture show is a BIG step forward!!!

 

[bcrt2000]

I think Bono/Edge/Larry have a problem getting the melody out at times because of the tempo and sound flat live right now. Hopefully they can fix it because the melody is great on the album.

Props to Alex Courtes for the wonderful inclusion of the flagship Sam The Record Man store signage in the Get On Your Boots video


Now we finally have a Canadian connection to U2 directly haha

Hey that's really cool. But what exactly is it? It says something about a link to a content, but I still don't know what exactly it's there for. Is it an ad? Why are they showing the background vid?
Anyways, thanks!

Ah edit ok I misread it says content, but I still don't know what it is.

"Let Me In The Sound"

Ive read that this bit in Boots sounds like a Led Zepplin song or something?.Can anyone tell me the song it sounds like?.

 

[bsp77]

Drums sound like When the Levee Breaks

 

[Y2K]

"When the Levee Breaks" - one of the most sampled drum performances ever. Not to mention it's inspired numerous other rhythm sections.

I put it on you tube now

[OttawaU2Fan]

I just wanted to say I am hearing this song everywhere. If it is on the radio, at sporting arenas and stadiums, or been used by TV stations for sporting events.

It opened up the Spurs-Suns game on ABC today and they have been using it when going to every commercial.

 

[Rômulo]

I want the video to download. The same video of U2.com. Anyone have the link?

Thank you.
