U2 Tickets - Get On Your Boots
By Brent Warnken
I am currently sitting at my desk and listening to the latest release from U2, the single “Get On Your Boots,” which is the first track available from the new album that will be out February 15. Just think, in under a month from now, U2’s highly anticipated new album will be hitting the music charts with a bang. Meanwhile, their latest single “Get on Your Boots” has recently been released as a taste of things to come, and what a taste it is! Lead singer Bono definitely knows how to wow the masses, and his timing is as ever impeccable. Releasing the single right after the Irish rock artists entertained President-Elect Barak Obama with their MLK Day anthem and their unofficial post-9/11 anthem at the Lincoln Memorial. These Dublin natives also provided their classic “Pride (In the Name of Love)” to Obama’s pre-inaugural concert, giving the first black presidency one of the best theme songs for the new government platform.
And, when talking about U2, one can hardly refrain from mentioning the group’s nearly 20 Grammy Awards that they have one over the years. Of those 20, the majority of their wins have taken place since the year 2000, which makes these years their golden years…at least so far. Who knows what future decades will bring from this incredible group? But for now we have “Get On Your Boots” as the first single available from their February 15th release, No Line on the Horizon.
As someone who is a relatively new fan of U2, I was introduced to the group by my husband, who has been an ardent fan ever since he picked up the album Joshua Tree for the first time back in the ’90s. As a young teenager he was an avid fan of the group and has continued listening to them ever since. One of his favorite things about them is that they have managed to create a sound that smoothly ages with the group, without seeming elderly or outdated. As music moves on, so do they, but without becoming elders rocking out on stage to the embarrassment of their addicted fans. The album is also coming out at a fortunate time for me, as I know exactly what to get my husband for his birthday, a U2 album. And if his parents beat me to that then there is always the possibility of U2 tickets the next time U2 is touring the US, which will hopefully be soon.
All-in-all “Get On Your Boots” is a delightful taste of what is coming, leaving me with great anticipation of what the band will be doing next. I am really excited to get home tonight and tell my husband about this latest single as he has not looked at the news yet today. And, in closing, when you do decide to pick up U2 tickets, be sure to check for key seats online as they will definitely be selling out quickly once their latest album hits stores.
