U2 Debut New Clip Post by: Eddie Ruckus - Rockin' Blogger 22 July, 2009 - 7:25 AM
U2 has premiered its new video for "I’ll Go Crazy If I Don’t Go Crazy Tonight".
The fully animated clip is one of four videos that the band has made available exclusive to YouTube. There are also live high-quality live clips of the band performing live versions of "Breathe" and "Magnificent" from their secret club show in Boston earlier this year.
The note accompanying the video for “I’ll Go Crazy If I Don’t Go Crazy Tonight” says: “Not your typical music video, this animated ensemble video was directed by [Irish director] David O’Reilly, who used the song’s themes and lyrics to create multiple, parallel stories about people who decide to make a change in their lives.”
Meanwhile, Bono and his mates were in Amsterdam last night, where they made several changes to the setlist compared to previous shows on the tour so far.
Songs performed for the first time on this tour last night included 'Elevation' and 'Until the End of the World'.
What do you think of the new single and clip? And what song would you most want to see the band play in concert?

Would somebody please tell U2 they are no longer relevant in music?
They have to be one of the most overrated bands around.
I really wish they would just give it up and go away!

I'm pretty sure it's the second animated U2 clip Dave... There was one for "Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me" (Batman soundtrack) Great song and cool clip.
I'm a huge U2 fan... gotta say tho.... not sure about this clip. Probably grow on me tho!

I'm just glad they're trying to do different things, not just keep colouring by numbers, Red Hot Chili Peppers-style.

Awesome awesome awesome... U2 are at it again... Proving that they may be the only imaginative band left...
I love the video, at least it's not just them standing in a studio playing instruments.
Love it guys... Now all they need to do is come to Sydney with 360 tour!!!

U2 aren't the first band to do a fully animated video clip, this isn't ground breaking or new at all.
