Knocking boots with U2
Saturday, January 31st, 2009 | musiX
My relationship with U2 has always been pretty on-and-off. I like them. I hate them. I love them. I like-like them. I hate them again. It could be on again with the forthcoming No Line On the Horizon (due out Feb. 27). I’m at least willing to give it a try … even after being absolutely turned off by 2004’s How To Dismantle an Atomic Bomb.
The video for the new single “Get On Your Boots” is here—loaded with eye candy and a nasty little riff courtesy of Adam Clayton and The Edge, the latter of whom got his guit-geek on last year with Jack White and Jimmy Page in the documentary It Might Get Loud. Well, “Get On Your Boots” is pretty loud. Bless their hearts.

It looks like someone is having second thoughts about the video being on youtube. It’s blocked as of 2/3. Too bad, I wanted to get a look at it and see what the boys were up to.
