Get On Your Boots - General discussions

The show is at Sunday and I don't feel the urge to open an entire new topic just for one performance. So maybe we can recycle this one.

I'll watch the performance live or at monday morning on Youtube or something. I'm curious about two things:

1) Larry's drums
2) Bono's voice

i'll open a new one on the night just before the performance. First live airing of the song is worth a topic

same here, but mostly Larry's drums, or how he's going to play it rather

Hopefully his vocals will be better than that recent VDL performance.

Bono ditched his shades for some heavy eyeliner as U2 rehearsed on the eve of their performance at the 51st Grammy Awards.

The Irish band will open Sunday’s show with a performance of its new single “Get On Your Boots.” But after trying the song five times in rehearsal, Bono still wasn’t happy with the sound. “Houston, we’ve got a problem,” he said afterwards.

Wearing a black suit with a sparkling lapel and a T-shirt underneath, and with dark eye makeup in place of his trademark sunglasses, Bono began the song positioned behind the band on an elevated platform.

Behind the group, a video screen flashed alternately on lyrics and, during the chorus, a psychedelic swirl of colours.

U2 isn’t nominated for any Grammy awards this year, but will release “No Line on the Horizon” on March 3.

Hopefully he won't look too much like Pete Wentz's dad.

I was hoping for him to look like Alice Cooper; him and U2 on the next tour. Now that would a support act.
