@U2Baja It’s filled under Various Dates u2gigs.com/show1421.html
Now it’s time for me (Ax) to sleep; it’s closing in on 3am Aussie time. Thanks for the company & nice to have a song exceed my expectations.
We have a little report on #U2TheBlackout, with a link to Facebook to replay the song: u2gigs.com/article1218.ht…
@tombhoy73 First song at any rate. And if it goes up on streaming those streams will be counted for charts.
@BirdieNumNums_1 Agree entirely. I was middling after the teaser; this beat my expectations.

@sb_wreeldeal It’s telling when you track the 360 sets and watch that opening blast of 4 new songs get eroded.
@sb_wreeldeal That was the cruelest part, that another top five song for me is what broke my heart.

@sb_wreeldeal And I know it’s dumb luck and all that shit but fuck, songs that are all-time evoke emotions that don’t follow simple logic.

@vindersandhu89 Definitely getting Magnificent-meets-Zoo Station vibes from the intro too!
@_Dream_Out_Loud Yeah I definitely think it worked better as a gig opener than it did as a lead single.
@sereeasily Better than I expected. I’m actually pleasantly surprised.

@sb_wreeldeal DO NOT START ME ABOUT ASOH
There’s a reason I was quiet for the rest of the Europe leg.
@sb_wreeldeal EBW might’ve been a bit too adult-contemporary to be lead single but still not as clumsy as Miracle.
@sb_wreeldeal Kinda guilty? For listening to the leak…? Oh man, no guilt from me. What that says about teenage Ax’s ethics…
popartist61 OMG, that was balls to the walls fantastic @U2 #U2TheBlackout
@_Dream_Out_Loud Ehh, putting aside liking Miracle or not, I don’t think it was the best choice for lead single.
@prderocher We’ve got Best Thing to drop in a week and disagree about to get the earth back on its proper orbit. ;)
Ax’s 1st-listen hot take: U2 haven’t had a lead song from an album this good since Vertigo. Boots & Miracle were mis-steps; Blackout is not.

@Sanity_M Those remain the best U2 concerts I’ve seen. So much fun, and Boston was a great city to visit.
@Sanity_M That was 2005. I joined the site in Feb or March I think, just in time for the tour, and saw the band in May.
@Zooropalg You’d bloody hope so. Would be kind of crazy to just run it through on Facebook and then not put it up t… twitter.com/i/web/status/9…
@markpeterboro @Naomi_U2Sydney And hey, that still had good setlists. Part of me wants them to wait for 2019 for Lovetown30.
@duuuaaaane It’s so funny to think back to it now. Single songs?! Seems mad. And how long they took on my shitty dialup!
@markpeterboro @Naomi_U2Sydney Oh shit, because I’m going you’re probably right. I seem to be cursed for setlists this decade.
A few months later I joined Matthias in working on this site, saw U2 in Boston a couple more months later, then fast forward, here we are.
Luckily the power and Internet came back within a couple of minutes. I stayed up for hours listening to those songs. Simpler times, really.
Halfway through there was a huge thundercrack & my Internet died. I shouted “FUCK!” so loud I don’t know how I didn’t wake up whole house.
Turned out it was a friend telling me each song was going up online. This was summer in Queensland so a huge storm broke at the same time.
Who remembers HTDAAB leaking? I (Ax) was 17, I was just going to bed when my computer dinged & I decided to check who was messaging me.

@SilRigote That was so long ago, I (Ax) was 13, had no Internet, and only owned two U2 CDs!
@teddyD66 We’ll post a direct link closer to the time too. :) Just over one and a half hours away now.

No matter what the song sounds like in 2 hours’ time, the promo for SOE is already the best U2 have done for a new album in a whole decade.
Hey, Ax here. Looks like I’m sticking it out until 2am Aussie time for the new single. Make my sleep deprivation worth it, U2!
