Here’s a new video for U2′s single ‘Get On Your Boots’. This one was directed by Martyn Pick.

Starting out behind the band, Bono threw familiar shapes against the backdrop of a large screen showing images – different from those used in the video – and the lyrics to the song. Later he moved out in front near the crowd, removing his trademark shades to reveal his new mascara-look while belting out the final bars of the song: ‘Let me in the sound, let me in the sound…’

Unfortunately, the crew didn’t hear his plea. Sound is apparently not the main priority for the Grammy Awards organisation.

A little birdy informed us the Get On Your Boots video will be ready for premiere today around 5pm GMT. And lo and behold, the Independent says so too. Point your browser at www.independent.com/u2. And this time, it’s guilt- and watermark-free.

This video for ‘Get On Your Boots’ is directed by French film maker and artist Alex Courtes and shot in London. The graphic art was designed by Courtes, who (with Martin Fougeral) also directed the Grammy winning video for ‘Vertigo’. The video is also available on U2.com.

Members of the public jury, may we have your votes?

As many had already noticed, the video still contained images for which the rights had not yet been cleared with the copyright holders. The statement was posted on the fan forums on their website.

Dear all,

You might have seen we’ve been removing links to the rogue copy of the ‘Boots’ video in the last 24 hours. It’s not just U2.Com, it’s being taken down from everywhere on the web.

Word is that everyone was pretty fed up about an unfinished bootleg leaking out before the production team had finished their work.

Apparently it’s a pretty amazing video they’re producing but if you saw that ruff-cut the give-away was the watermark copyright details in some of the images. Turns out there were legal issues involved -
and it’s being taken down from YouTube, Facebook etc etc

As soon as the video is wrapped we’ll have it on U2.Com – as early as anyone else.

Honest!

More information soon.

He describes the song and his 20+ years experience with the rituals and security surrounding a new U2 release. He writes:

“There are some new sounds that could only come from an Eno/Lanois production, which left me with a feeling similar to what I experienced when I heard “The Fly” for the first time. This is NOT a back-to-basics guitar/bass/drums track like “Vertigo” or even “Beautiful Day.” There’s some definite sonic evolution going on here. “
