U2 - Get On Your Boots
 Album:
No Line On The Horizon (2009)
  1. Lyrics are on the song pages, if anyone has additions or corrections, please let us know.

    Just had a first listen, I liked it, though some parts felt stupid (beautiful you are). Should be a grower, can't wait to listen to it over and over again.


  2. Yeah - I reckon it'll actually improve when they play it live. I like the song - great riff, nice drumming, although comparisons to John Bonham are still not warranted, and the bass is down, deep & dirty as well; but I can't help thinking there was a great chance for Edge to put in a really searing solo at the end. It would have just lifted the song that bit more for me, and on my first listen I kept waiting for the guitar to really kick in with a solo, or even something like the end to LNOE (a la live from Mexico), which is just Edge, Larry & Adam rocking out to end the song.

    Anyway, I've no doubt that Edge will come up with something additional on tour, like he does for most songs, which is why I think it'll play even greater live.

    Good stuff nonetheless - and again, what a riff!!
  3. you don’t know get it to you
    you don’t know get it to you
    i thought it was 'you dont get it DO you"???

    IF 'someones left to blow it up' i duno u could be right.
  4. I'm off, will listen to it more than 20-30 times before I get back and post a review I LOVE THIS, FINALLY SOME NEW U2, WOOOH.
  5. There's something really epic about it in a really odd way, I mean it doesn't have the atmosphere of something like COBL or Streets, but the pace is something else and the riff really knocks you flat out. Not to mention it's catchy as hell lol - the way in which they take relative simplicity and turn it into something altogether more complex and interesting is what U2 do best. Just wonder who they ripped off for it...

  6. Just one listen and this f***** slammed he hard against the wall....now THIS one is going to blow the roof off stadiums all over the world.
  7. How is this one:



    Edited myself but I think this will be the cover for the other version of the single (looking at U2.com)
  8. I heard it 4 times now, I like it when Edge comes back at the end with just that heavy riff.


  10. Itunes says 28 times here...
  11. I'll probably get shot for mentioning it (well maybe one member might save me?) but listening now to the song in full and proper clarity etc, I have to say that the beach clips were actually representative of this song - at least this one doesn't seem to have changed much since Summer '08!!
  12. Originally posted by @U2Dave Fanning was supposed to be the first to play "Get On Your Boots" anywhere in the world, but a reader tells us that 5FM radio in South Africa played it at 7 am local time, about 5 am in Dublin, some three hours before the planned " world premiere."


    The South Africans are the new Croatia, it seems.
