Who remembers the first time you heard the song?
For me I was in high school, and saw the world premiere of the video on MTV. I taped it and watched about 100 times in a row. It was the single coolest song I had heard in my life to that point. Total departure and just absolutely blown away. My favorite band in the world changed drastically, but it was exactly what I wanted. What a shock, but very exciting at the same time. With no internet really (at least i had no access), i knew nothing about the song or video. The refefences to zoo tv, which i had no idea about until i saw it the next march. Times have changed, now we know the video they are making as they film it. I miss the being in the dark, and being totally suprised.
 
no one is forcing you to look/watch/read anything about it before it comes out

it's hard to do, but possible
+ what are the chances the video will be as good as the fly
 
the first time?

i had just gotten into U2 (The Joshua Tree) and i was watching the Elevation Boston DVD being broadcast on TV. I was half falling alseep on my couch, when Edge's fucking crazy ass guitar woke me up. Needless to say, i was blown away. The lights, the gutiar, the solo, Bono's walking and stuff, oh man it really hit home. i cried and laughed at the same time. it was amazing. it was the first song i ever heard from Achtung Baby, or the 90s, from U2, and i was hooked.

i agree. i'm not complaining about it, it was just a very different time about what you could know.
 
Um I dunno, I adore this song but no idea when I heard it first. But I was only about 8 or 9 when it came out so I didn't hear it then, lol!
