Get On Your Boots is the first single from U2’s new album No Line On The Horizon, and it’s completely first-class and is definitely worth the wait. The track opens with a twisting, down tuned guitar riff while percussion plays a traditional rock beat which all comes together with Bono’s distinct voice singing “Hey, sexy boots, Get on your boots”. It’s a lot more lyrically developed than “Vertigo”, and shows a hidden side to U2 that fans have not yet experienced.
“Get On Your Boots” is an interesting change of pace for U2 and marks a change in direction for the band.
Released 15th February.
