U2 Move The PopMart To Space?


The concept behind the video for “Get On Your Boots” could just be that. Or maybe the band got together and told the director, “So yeah, we want it to be like Michael Jackson’s ‘Leave Me Alone’ video, but replace the bits about Liz Taylor with Catholic iconography! And add a broken-glass effect, if you could. We just want to confuse people enough to think that 120 Minutes is still existing in some dimension out there, right?” [MySpace]

    It’s neither weird enough to be awesome nor dumb enough to be embarrassing. It’s just, kinda…

    And if I ever end up like U2

    @MhS: Not much chance of that… U2 can at least keep their lineup consistent from album to album.

    This video takes every bad idea U2 have ever had and combines them into one epic catastrophe. Every time I hear this song, I can’t believe that Bono, Edge, Eno, and Lanois sat around a studio going: “Yeah! What a great track.” It’s awful point awful.

    reminds me MUCH more of a monster magnet video than Leave me alone truthfully. Maybe its the space theme.

    God, I feel like bands are just making videos to become pre-made iTunes commercials (that Animal Collective one too).

    Also, this reminds me of those stupid messy Oasis album covers where they try to cram in as many dumb Beatles references into a 70’s style drawn “trying to be arty but we can’t ‘cos we’re Oasis” design. Well, you get my point…maybe.
