Posted January 17, 200916 yr Due to be premiered on Monday! Here's what DJ Dave Fanning has to say about it From u2.com http://www.u2.com/news/index.php?mode=full&news_id=2287 'A big song with lots of layers...' He'll be the first to play it on Monday, so what does Dave Fanning think of the new single ? On Monday morning, the world finally gets to hear Get On Your Boots. As usual, the person to premiere the track will be Irish TV and radio presenter Dave Fanning, someone who's been championing the band since he first started playing their demos on pirate radio more than three decades ago. Ever since, Dave's got the first play of a new U2 single. We tracked him down at 2FM in Dublin. So you’ve heard the single, which the rest of the world will hear on Monday - first impressions? First impressions is that there’s eleven tracks on the album and ‘Get On Your Boots’ is the one you’d instantly say is the single. It’s the ‘Vertigo’ of the album - although a completely different kind of song. That was a new song which was an instant hit night after night on the last tour and this song will be the same on the next tour. People will be impressed, it’s very U2 and there’ s nothing wrong with that, a big song with lots of layers but not overproduced. Great track. :cheer:

January 19, 200916 yr I love it! :o Love the guitar and all the backing music. YOU DON'T KNOW HOW BEAUTIFUL YOU ARE :heart:
January 19, 200916 yr Very pop esque. I'm not sure what to make of exactly tbh. It's very funky, and I find it catchy, but I dunno, it seems all a bit, wrong? I think this song will alienate a lot of their fanbase, and they won't like it, but then again at the same time I think this might bring a lot of younger generation to them, as like I said before, it is quite a funky song.
January 19, 200916 yr I am not over the moon about it tbh...they have far better songs than that...maybe it will grow on me but I hate saying that about a track when I first hear it because it never does...a bit weak for me as a U2 track.....lacks depth somewhat....guess after 30 years the diehard fans will but the album though.... It will be interesting to hear what the rest of the album is like...I had read that it was very much veered towards the trace genre & if that is the case it could sound like something we are not used to ...just my personal opinion... :mellow:
January 19, 200916 yr Author I'm not sure about it either tbh. Is that the most obvious 'single' on the new album? :unsure:
January 19, 200916 yr and I said that about The Actor :cry: :lol: It's catchy, keep listening to it, I don't get what the song is about though, Boots maybe :lol: :wacko:
January 19, 200916 yr Author How dare you diss 'The Actor' :o :wub: :wub: :wub: I dunno. It is kind of catchy. But it's not exactly setting the heather on fire here at Chez Jupsie :unsure:
