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.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to tombhoy73

@BirdieNumNums_1 Agree entirely. I was middling after the teaser; this beat my expectations.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to BirdieNumNums_1

BirdieNumNums_1 @u2gigs i feel like the 15 second chorus teaser did an injustice to the song, the groovy guitar is more the spirit;… https://t.co/hmBfXidcn0

@sb_wreeldeal It’s telling when you track the 360 sets and watch that opening blast of 4 new songs get eroded.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to sb_wreeldeal

@sb_wreeldeal That was the cruelest part, that another top five song for me is what broke my heart.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to coribald

@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.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to u2gigs

@sb_wreeldeal But I just couldn’t cover those shows. I’m not sure I can even do the third leg. That cut really deep… twitter.com/i/web/status/9…

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to u2gigs

@sb_wreeldeal I’d just got back to Australia. Felt completely flat; passed it off as jetlag.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to sb_wreeldeal

@sb_wreeldeal OK now this is just starting to get cruel, like U2 have a vendetta against you hearing cool songs. I… twitter.com/i/web/status/9…

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to sb_wreeldeal

@vindersandhu89 Definitely getting Magnificent-meets-Zoo Station vibes from the intro too!

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to vindersandhu89

@_Dream_Out_Loud Yeah I definitely think it worked better as a gig opener than it did as a lead single.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to _Dream_Out_Loud

@sereeasily Better than I expected. I’m actually pleasantly surprised.

@sb_wreeldeal I had like no money and still got the deluxe version. Why?! I just moved and I found my deluxe NLOTH,… twitter.com/i/web/status/9…

@sb_wreeldeal DO NOT START ME ABOUT ASOH

There’s a reason I was quiet for the rest of the Europe leg.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to sb_wreeldeal

@sb_wreeldeal EBW might’ve been a bit too adult-contemporary to be lead single but still not as clumsy as Miracle.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to sb_wreeldeal

@sb_wreeldeal Kinda guilty? For listening to the leak…? Oh man, no guilt from me. What that says about teenage Ax’s ethics…

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to sb_wreeldeal

popartist61 OMG, that was balls to the walls fantastic @U2 #U2TheBlackout

 via Twitter for Android (retweeted on 6:16 PM, Aug 30th, 2017  via Tweetbot for Mac)

@_Dream_Out_Loud Ehh, putting aside liking Miracle or not, I don’t think it was the best choice for lead single.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to _Dream_Out_Loud

@prderocher We’ve got Best Thing to drop in a week and disagree about to get the earth back on its proper orbit. ;)

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to prderocher

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.

 via Twitter Web Client

U2start You can listen again to #U2TheBlackout as much as you like with this link: facebook.com/u2/videos/1015…

markpeterboro Time to stop peeling carrots #U2TheBlackout https://t.co/3QLS5pnXJl

Ten minutes until #U2TheBlackout, everybody. Premiering on Facebook: facebook.com/u2/videos/1015…

 via Twitter Web Client

@Sanity_M Those remain the best U2 concerts I’ve seen. So much fun, and Boston was a great city to visit.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to Sanity_M

@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.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to Sanity_M

@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…

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to Zooropalg

@markpeterboro @Naomi_U2Sydney And hey, that still had good setlists. Part of me wants them to wait for 2019 for Lovetown30.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to markpeterboro

@duuuaaaane It’s so funny to think back to it now. Single songs?! Seems mad. And how long they took on my shitty dialup!

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to duuuaaaane

@markpeterboro @Naomi_U2Sydney Oh shit, because I’m going you’re probably right. I seem to be cursed for setlists this decade.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to markpeterboro

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.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to u2gigs

Luckily the power and Internet came back within a couple of minutes. I stayed up for hours listening to those songs. Simpler times, really.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to u2gigs

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.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to u2gigs

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.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to u2gigs

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.

 via Twitter Web Client

@Naomi_U2Sydney If they bloody tour Europe and North America again before coming down here, I will…

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to Naomi_U2Sydney

@_Dream_Out_Loud In any case I’m aware that 1,000 streams = 1 sale.

@_Dream_Out_Loud My understanding—and I might be wrong—is that those strreaming stats accumulate to count for album… twitter.com/i/web/status/9…

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to _Dream_Out_Loud

@Naomi_U2Sydney Wouldn’t know since it never fucking came here!

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to Naomi_U2Sydney

@SilRigote That was so long ago, I (Ax) was 13, had no Internet, and only owned two U2 CDs!

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to SilRigote

@teddyD66 We’ll post a direct link closer to the time too. :) Just over one and a half hours away now.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to teddyD66

@_Dream_Out_Loud …even if U2 reckon The Best Thing is the *true* lead.

@teddyD66 They will be broadcasting it live on the official U2 Facebook page.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to _Dream_Out_Loud

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.

 via Twitter Web Client

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!
