Get On Your Boots....

...and run as far away from the radio as you possibly can while U2's new song is playing.

Run, run and run some some until you are out of earshot of this song.

U2's first single from No Line on the Horizon (out March 3rd), Get on Your Boots was released last week, and to say that I'm a little less than enthused about it is an understatement. We waited for over four years for this - yuck. Forgive me if I say I haven't heard this before, as I have - wasn't this on the 'Pop' album that came out in 1997? It wasn't, well it should have been.

It would have fit right in. Was 'Get on Your Boots' one of the discarded 'Pop' outtakes that they've rehashed, re-recorded and are trying to pass off as a new release. If so, shame on Bono and the rest of the boys. The rest of the album can't be this bad - can it? If it is then Bono needs to go back and help third world countries get out of debt and forget about writing music for awhile. Even the first release off 'Chinese Democracy' - Chinese Democracy, was better that 'Get on Your Boots'.

One thing I'm excited about it is this. The anticipation is building for the arrival of the almighty Chickenfoot. Oh yes, it's coming. Here's a small taste http://www.chickenfoot.us/.

What a heavy intro. Hopefully, the rest of the album sounds like this.
