January 19, 200916 yr I was always fantastic at interpretation ...I just know how Bono feels inside.... :rolleyes:
January 20, 200916 yr :o I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :w00t: :cheer: :yahoo: :wub: First time I heard it I was so relieved it wasnt a 'safe' song because I was really wanting something different and experimental, and I wasnt dissapointed. I liked it first time, but didnt love it until about 10 listens. And I absolutelly hated Vertigo first time I heard it, so it is very promising that I actually liked 'Boots' first time cause its very unusual for me with any song. It is just such an exciting song. It is nothing like anything in the chart, and has a very futuristic sound to it, yet still sounds like a U2 song. The guitar riffs are just fantastic and I love the verses. Still not overly fussed about the chorus as it's not the usual big anthem of a chorus we are used to, especially with lead singles. Overall U2 fans appear to be delighted with it on the forums, and saying its the song Vertigo wishes it was. I have to say this is gonna be amazing live and I bet it and Vertigo with be played one after the other. Now I dont know what to expect from the album. It's all very exciting/. :w00t:
January 20, 200916 yr IT`S GREAT :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: well done mr Hewson, a lyric that makes absolutely no sense... :w00t: :lol: again :blink: :heart:
January 20, 200916 yr I delayed commentating on the new single until I'd listened to the track half a dozen times..... How can I describe it ........For a lead single from a U2 album it is a disappointment. It is nowhere near as good as Vertigo or the wonderful Beautiful Day. Yes musically they moved on from the sound of their original 3 albums (Boy/October/War) updated to something that resembles a hybrid between Achtung Baby & Pop eras, but as a song it does not do the business like many of their classics and I can't see it getting near my top 20 U2 songs of all-time let alone Top 20 U2 singles. Also it does not seem to be doing that great on US iTunes. It was released earlier on the same day as Kelly Clarkson's My Life Would Suck Without You so intially U2 were at #64 to Kelly Clarkson's #113. But 2 updates later U2 are up to #25, leapfrogged by Kelly Clarkson at #12.

What he said. -_- :(
January 20, 200916 yr What he said. -_- :( What he said is very true...for me it's not a patch on Vertigo.,,,,.nowhere near it in fact... :mellow: ...not something that talks to my U2 Mojo -_-
January 21, 200916 yr I just heard it!Don't know if it's a grower,but I expected more than this. -_- I liked the verses,but the chorus... <_< maybe I have to give it another chance -_-
January 25, 200916 yr I hope they pull a "TakeThat" and this song is one of the weakest on the album. :rolleyes: Because if it is the really lead song on the album, I don't think i will buy the album. It sounds like a missed cross of Queen with Bon Jovi. Edited January 25, 200916 yr by IrisAlbastru
January 25, 200916 yr I wouldn't knock the album that fast...could be great yet & Get On Your Boots is kinda growing on me but there sure are a lot of unhappy U2 fans out there... :o
January 26, 200916 yr Author And it's not like I'm against U2 being all trendy. I love 'Lemon' after all :P
January 26, 200916 yr I don't understand how people DON'T love Get On Your Boots! :o I think it's fantastic - especially love the 'sexy boots' parts. Maybe I'm one of the lucky ones to like it! :heehee:
