Knocking boots with U2

Saturday, January 31st, 2009 | musiX | 1 Comment

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.
