Amen! I have always said the only church I go to is when U2 is within 1500 miles. Yes, I've driven it, 3 concerts so far, and totally worth it. It's like a cleansing of the Soul, a laying down of burdens, and a small near death experience - all in one night. I do more praying at a U2 concert, than at any other time in my life. It's the only place I have ever truly felt the brotherhood of man. I've never met Paul Hewson, but I've been in love with Bono since I was 12 years old....
One of Grahams brilliant talents and one reason the show is so successful is that he does not 'cow down to' Bono or any of his guests. He makes fun of them but always in a lighthearted way. Graham is a master at reading and reacting to his guests and giving them alcohol doesn't hurt either.
@@stayfrostypatrick you're not dumb - no worries, lots of people confuse British and Irish. But there is a distinct difference. Having said that if you were to ask many Brits what are the countries or provinces under 'great britain' they would have no clue, nor would they have any clue about the colonization of the Brits - its called selective 'lets not teach about our shitty history'. Sad but true.
I knew when I first heard and saw this band, I said that they would be one of the, if not the biggest band around. I now there are people who don't care for them, but to me, they are the best.
I did a music appreciation class in high school. The teacher played their first album when it wasn’t a huge hit yet. We were all mesmerized. Loved them ever since. Saw them only once in concert. I think it was 87’ will have to check that. CNE bandstand Toronto, Canada.
Everyone I talk to about The Graham Norton Show, everyone has a positive word of this show. And now we're being doubly spoilt with the Irish Band U2 Appearance . ❤
My favorite part of this clip is watching Robert Duvall having no clue what they’re talking about with iTunes and the release of the record for free automatically on people’s phones. He had no idea what the fk they were talking about😂
The biggest bands are those you could put into a high school storage room and they'd turn it into the gate to heaven! 🎸💫 There are all sorts of good musical groups, but only a few bands have had that unique quality... Queen, Guns'n'Roses, Led Zeplin, AC/DC, The Rolling Stones, U2
Great song and aren't the first three songs on the Joshua Tree the greatest ever ... and I'm a huge Bruce Springsteen fan: 'Where The Streets Have No Name' (my favourite ever), 'I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For' and 'With Or Without You'. INCREDIBLE!
@@kingy002 ...Yes. It would be hard to conceive of him as their biggest fan. Most likely a generational mis-match. In any case, too many people clustered together on the sofa at the same time. You can´t interview 7 people simultaneously and hope to give equal time to everyone. This is the problem of the multiple-interview approach which we see on his show. Should have allowed the first 3 guests to leave first, before bringing on U2. Would have worked better.
My favourite band, I went with my sister on 6th September 97, I was 18, Princess Diana's funeral day, Manchester airport held 1 min silence, U2 kicked ass, at park de prance, Diana was in there, pop mart tour, great thing they did for her death , they are amazing band, and god bless diana
My first concert was U2, with my brother, his friends & my bestie. My favorite photo ever with my brother was at this show- amazing night: circa 1996-1998 ish. Had a lot of 💨 that night, lol. Memory of date is fuzzy 😂
i‘ve never felt that sounding always the same is some sign of quality. but it‘s just my opinion and that of some others. they‘ve got some tunes that i like very much though.
I didn't understand what was going on when I saw and heard him sing in Rattle and Hum. I love how his voice matches with Bono's. You almost can't tell them apart.
This is one of my favorite interviews because I grew up listening to U2. Although Has Graham Norton did an interview with Def Leppard. U2 is one of my most top favorite bands and so is def leopard. Which Interview would be greater?
That would epic if he did do an interview with them or even had them on the show performing too. Either way I'd be happy to see Def Leppard on his show. ❤️
I've thought that Adam got on drugs as a way to cope with being Gay! Somehow Bono decided to Not throw away Adam like some garbage. They got through it. I Never threw away anyone bc Bono taught me not to! Amen! I have always said the only church I go to is when U2 is within 1500 miles. Yes, I've driven it, 3 concerts so far, and totally worth it.

I remember watching this the night it was on drinking wine with my best friend, a man in his late fifties who loved his music and detested U2 and Bono, as was his right...he watched silently and just said "Yup, that ws f*****g awesome." Miss him, always watch this when i remember him, think of him. Smiling now
I'm also from Dublin, but was never a huge U2 fan, i always preferred the Pogues or the Ramones in terms of just interesting bands, mischief...I like, I will follow, Seconds, New years day, Gloria, Pride, amazing songs. He really sings from his heart Bono, make fun of him all you like, he takes it on the chin, but he can sing, and he writes some great songs.
It is due to ageism and jealously. You saw the ageist comment just above that I reported. I don't tolerate ageism anymore than I tolerate racism or homophobia
The single greatest marketing disaster of of all time. They gave the album away for free but the people didn't want it. And after seeing that insipid pile driver of mediocrity; who can blame them?
Glaucoma really let’s be honest with ourselves Bono. I have terrible eye sight the worst in my family. Without my glasses for a week I go almost completely blind nothing but a big white Blair. After a week without my glasses I feel like sh*t despite having extremely blurry vision. My eyes are worse than yours. But I’m proud of my eye sight no matter how bad it is.
Total ageist nonsense. The lyrics are much better than anything on their 80s albums plus this album was better than their first 3 albums. The album is in my top 4 favourite album of theirs. As people age their songwriting gets better. Everyone accepts ageism but not racism or misogyny when it's just as bad.
as a huge long time u2 fan, i must say their music today is so lame it hurts. it's funny when you realize 3/4 of the existence of your favorite band is musically irrelevant. "at least", albums wise, the ratio is better cause they only release two albums a decade or so. i've stopped paying attention to the actual dates.
I really love all albums up to Songs of Experience. For some reason I just can't listen to that album, I do hope their new album would sound better than SOE did.
@@stayfrostypatrickI personally really like Songs of Experience. I understand it’s not maybe as unique as some of their other stuff, but the music changes with the band. Something like Love is Bigger Than Anything In Its Way might not have that typical U2 vibe that we love so dearly, but if you look at the lyrics, you can see how much really goes into a song like that.

An irish presenter brings on an irish band...on british tv and kills it. They are unreal
G8 band Edge born in Essex Clayton born in Oxfordshire England....

might have been born there but don't claim to be English.@@jerrysummers5971
And I can't top the posh British bloke. I don't care. I love Fry.
"During the great conditioner shortage in Ireland" Brilliant line.
They just seem like lovely, honest and genuine people as a band
I totally agree.
I’ve always adored Bono’s depth of soul
Late 70s to 2021 - U2 aren't just a world class band, they are a world class family!
What a performance there at the end.
An amazing performance they're legends.

I love U2 and their music so much they are such humble legends.

Same. He's the only Brit host I'll watch because of how laid back he is as a host. Plus they get to drink on his show too.
@@stayfrostypatrick just to clarify he's not British he's Irish.
@treasam5737 yes that's right he's Irish. I forgot but he's done the show for so long now. But I'm a dumb American 😂

@treasam5737 y'all sound very complicated now compared to when I learned about your history in school. That was a long time ago.
A song for every moment of my life! I love these men... Beautiful, simply beautiful.
Love U2 still after all these years
I knew when I first heard and saw this band, I said that they would be one of the, if not the biggest band around. I now there are people who don't care for them, but to me, they are the best.
Don't be sorry and it's true people don't like them and it's ok. We just have to accept that sadly.

Yep was 87’ October. Just googled.
Wow! that was an amazing acoustic set
Best band in the world... Solid Love for Life.
Bono is probably the only man on the planet, that can tell The Edge to stop playing.
This is hysterical! Love U2!
U2 is great but Graham Norton just kills it every time!
Humble legends
Oh yes! ^_^
Yes they are

This is the greatest talk show
Graham has a real skill at making everyone feel at ease no matter who they are!!
Yeah totally! It's why I love watching him. 😊
Love these guys.
I really felt sorry for both Americans there ..... both brilliant actors ..... but u2 wow just wow
Song for Someone!! Wow what a bonus!! Thank you 😊😊✨🌎✨
17:45 “Don’t you wanna put someone in the chair” Bono
Was the red chair the only reason Bono agreed to go on a chat show???? 😂😂😂

Mysterious Ways is my personal theme song. Every day!

Thank you, she was our real queen 👑
@michaelfaulkner3119 agree. ❤️
The acoustic performance was outstanding.
GREAT BAND U2
Good to see a huge band like U2 taking the mickey out of themselves. Can't see Bob Dylan doing it.
Wowww. Best grahm norton episode ever
This was the very first Graham Norton episode I had ever seen 😁
The real thing ❤️
Even better than the real thing!

Ye know there was a dog and Bingo was his name!
U2 were so cool in the early eighties...

He really sings from his heart Bono, make fun of him all you like, he takes it on the chin, but he can sing, and he writes some great songs.
I so agree. So many people love his poetry it's fantastic writing honestly. 😁
It is due to ageism and jealously. You saw the ageist comment just above that I reported. I don't tolerate ageism anymore than I tolerate racism or homophobia
So ur called Irish haha❤❤🎉🎉
U2 came on this show in 2014 not 2015
Thank you. I'll change it when I get home. 😊
‘Ramone’ sounded mediocre...
After all these years, it rocks now
I know sorry
The single greatest marketing disaster of of all time. They gave the album away for free but the people didn't want it. And after seeing that insipid pile driver of mediocrity; who can blame them?
Sounds like they had 3 half songs laying around and just slapped them together - I’ve loved U2 all my life - but this is scraping the barrel now...
I respect your honest comment. 😊
They are quite a few songs like that. David Bowie wrote songs from shorter different songs that he put together
Feel sorry for the other 3 guys to be in the same show with U2. (Adam looks like Anthony Bourdain. )
Why so you think so?
Yes, he does.
Glaucoma really let’s be honest with ourselves Bono. I have terrible eye sight the worst in my family. Without my glasses for a week I go almost completely blind nothing but a big white Blair.

I think it can vary for people and it with that saying for other things as well. 😊
I love U2 but that album paled compared to their early golden era. It happens. Few (if any) artists release great music late in their career.
Total ageist nonsense. The lyrics are much better than anything on their 80s albums plus this album was better than their first 3 albums. The album is in my top 4 favourite album of theirs.

I do enjoy Graham Norton. But this time he lost me after the first sentence lol
U2 were great in the 80s and early 90s. Now it’s like an oldies band.
Haha I totally agree with you. I didn't like that part either. :P
what?
I hope that you were able to see them at the Sphere in Las Vegas. They still have it! Incredible show.
Who are you asking?
