Bono and his wife Ali took a trip to El Salvador in 1986. The earliest demos for the song were even called El Salvador. Bono told The Edge to put El Salvador through his amplifier.
and adding to his comparison of RATM before RATM, Bono was (obviously) disgusted at yet another act of american imperialism in another country at their expense
This is from the Joshua Tree album, the whole album is brilliant!
What's great about U2 was they were always trying to evolve... so it's hard to say a band sold out when they are constantly pushing their sound weither you like it or not. It just happens that they write incredibly great tunes.
I absolutely love U2. I don't understand why they get so much ridicule today, but the band defined the 80's. Bono deserves to be cocky. Not only did he front a great band but he's always been philanthropic.
Joshua Tree is just an amazing album. Not one bad song. They also put on a great stage show. I saw them with Primus at Giant Stadium, and it was fantastic.
I hope you do more from this album.
*btw....the Edge is a great guitarist.
no one, NO ONE, “deserves” to be cocky. even bono would condemn your foolish words.
@@SecretGerms lmaooooo
@@SecretGerms eh, I get the point. A little hyperbole, that's all. Basically, he/they've accomplished artistic and philanthropic things. I really don't think Bono's cocky (or pretentious, whatever); it's just one of those critiques that people parrot.
The band really initiated a lot of backlash with their free album release onto peoples iPhones. It was a massive PR disaster the likes they hadn't seen since Rattle and Hum. That's one reason. The other is Bono's constant preaching to others to alleviate poverty while U2 has their own businesses in tax havens.
Dont get me wrong. I love U2 but Bono and his enviromental talks are kinda out off place when you make concerts that uses electricity that small cities use, plus having 150 trucks carrying your gear around...
Iran-Contra. Bono had been to Central America and saw the results of it.
He wanted Biblical imagery because he couldn't understand how "Christians" could be supportive of polices that caused so much pain amongst the poor like he saw in Central America.
We can help those in need around us. But as a democratic people in the wealthiest and most powerful nation on Earth, we have the responsibility to stand up for and elect people to our government who represent our concern for others.
Well stated....
Unfortunately a lot of Christians have the “I’m saved, who cares about you” attitude.
@@bring-out Ever been around a born-again evangelical baptist?
@@bring-out You've got to be joking. Just about every Trump supporter on Twitter has something about "God" in their bio. Real Christians could never support a man like Donald Trump. Trump exposed the hypocrisy and lies of "organized religion" in America. It's mostly a joke. A joke that's not funny either because they are lying/supporting a GOP party that is trying to kill democracy so they can push their BS religious beliefs on the rest of America.
This song is a STAPLE of every live U2 show to this day! They update the meaning of the song to stay current with the present day. HIGHLY recommend you see the live version of Bullet from Paris maybe 7 years ago. Pure 🔥🔥🔥!
U2- Until the End of the World. About A convo between Judas and Jesus🗣️🎙️🔥💯
Yes! So good.
I am waiting for them to do Until The End of The World, The Fly, and Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me
Yes, Tom Morello has gone on record mucltiple times citing The Edge/U2 as one of his favorites, and a huge influence on him. The Edge, and U2 has been an enormous influence. You can hear and see their influence on bands like Rage Against the Machine, Snow Patrol, Keane, Coldplay, Muse, Lumineers, Arcade Fire, Bravery, Interpol, Strokes and so much more. Just listen to Boy and War, then listen to modern Indie rock after. Listen To Unforgettable Fire and Joshua and Rattle and Hum then go listen to some of the American revivalist folk indie after that. Listen to U2s 90s trilogy, then hear the more dance oriented indie dance hits that came later.
Very true. There’s a direct line. Many of the bands you cite have members who’ve publicly named U2 as an influence on their music.
U2 are such an innovative & massively impactful band. Many younger listeners today have trouble appreciating that because they don’t know music history & never experienced firsthand how U2 pushed musical sound forward, and did so in multiple decades.
@@AndTheRoadGoesEverOn What's interesting is there seems to be a bit of skipped generation, in terms of reaction to U2. People maybe a decade or so younger than me, seem to be more likely to have a preset notion of U2 (which is largely based on nothing but the free album insert within iTunes). These people had an automatic dislike for U2, but no real reason. They would cite Bono's ego, but when pressed to give an example of his ego, that you couldn't also see in ANY Hip Hop or Pop Artist, no answer could be given. In many cases, no answer at all could be given. They you had people who would cluelessly profess their love of Coldplay but hate U2 and say how "generic" U2 is. Chris Martin himself would slap you for that. I know this, not just from casual outside observation, but also because Ive personally taken a handful of these people to a U2 concert and they were turned around completely. However, people just a little more than a decade younger, don't seem to have the same preconceived notions of U2, them come with more of a blank slate.
@@MBeano Very true. I think a lot of that instinctual-yet-uninformed negative reaction is just the natural response of a succeeding generation to anything from the directly older generation that got too big, too popular, too well loved. U2 got too big, too well loved, and became iconically associated with Boomers/Gen Xers. (The band had their most creative period during the transition btw these two older gens, hence have die-hard fans from both.) Every succeeding generation needs their OWN heroes, their own things to champion & love-and needs to reject or at least cast aside for a time the big icons of the previous generation. It’s common rebellion and individuation happening on a generational level. U2 was caught in the crosshairs. (There are exceptions, of course; for example, when Millennials are somehow dragged to a live show, they tend be converted, because U2 live is on another level and the power of that is near impossible to deny.) But as you said, their first impulse is to dislike. However, today those who are even younger-Generation Zers-aren't having this issue. They are now rejecting what the Millennials knee-jerk rejected. I find Gen Zers are more open to and tend to really like U2.
@@AndTheRoadGoesEverOn Right! The rejection of the prior generation, as well as the reaction to anything too big or popular is a form of rebellion, especially when you are younger.
Part of the inspiration for Bono's vocal delivery and the way he wrote the lyrics was those late night "fire and brimstone" Baptist preachers that would be on the radio in the middle of the night that he would have heard during their early tours of America on a bus, driving across the Midwest and the South.
There's a line he used during the live version from "Rattle & Hum".
"So I'm back in my hotel room
With John Coltrane and a love supreme
And in the next room I hear a woman scream out
Her lover's turning off, turning on the television
And I can't tell the difference between ABC News, Hill Street Blues, and a preacher on the Old Time Gospel Hour
Stealing money from the sick and the old
Well, the God I believe in isn't short of cash, mister"
I still quote that last line to people, I think I did in the last 2 weeks actually! It's brilliant.
There have been a few times where a good swath of U2 fans will see the "new stage" as selling out, or something they can't get on board with. But U2 has always been a band with distinct phases, although some are pronounced more than others. The coming of age early 80s = Boy, October and War - with Steve Lily-white producing. Post Punk, their sound was crystalline, bright, with sparkling echo laiden guitars set against booming rhythm section Atmospheric Americana late 80s where they quickly propelled to superstardom, with more atmospheric and ambient touches, and production, and songs focused on America, and influenced by America. Then came the 90s more European influenced Bowie trilogy of exploration dance experimentation and charicturizations and personas, Then came the more simplified just-the-songs approach of the first decade of 2000s, followed by songs and letters collection.
So at least half of the u2 fanbase is used to Bowie-like transformations. To us this was/is part of the appeal. For the rest, well they have the era that meant the most to them. It might be said that U2 has had the most successful transformations of any group in rock history. With each they gained new fandom (even the more recent, to lesser extent) while carrying over the majority of their fanbase, which is an enormous one, objectively, as their tours always end up being the top tickets sold.
Very well said.
"Sometimes I think its weird that the news playing in places where we eat" ... U2 in the 90s, and especially during the ZooTV tour, made it a point to highlight the world we were entering. CNN 24 hour news was newer at the time. Cable TV was exploding. You could be watching a sitcom then flip right over to war blasting on your TV, next to informercials. And this was pre-internet and mobile phone ubiquity. ZooTV was about not just media saturation, but the odd juxtopitions that was created in our daily lives as a result. Bullet the Blue Sky featured prominently
this is one of those songs of u2 that makes them the pioneer of modern music
U2 songs are so good to mellow out like" new years day, Sunday bloody Sunday " , mysterious ways, beautiful day .
Mellow out to Sunday Bloody Sunday? Ffs it’s about British soldiers killing innocent people in Northern Ireland hence the name. Honestly I’m shocked Mellow out. Get the f lost
U2 were massive in the 80's/ early 90's... even today. "The Joshua Tree" album was U2's tribute to the United States of America... and it sold over 10 million copies in the US, 25 million worldwide... the next record 'Rattle & hum' sold another 5 million in the US... the 1992 album 'Achtung baby' sold 8 million copies.
When Bono says "jacob wrestled the angel, and the angel was overcome" is not stating a "fact". It's more of a metaphor of what was happening in people's minds that were experiencing terror from war. It's pretty much saying that it's "as if" the angel was overcome.
The Joshua Tree is in my top ten best albums of all time. I once seen a interview with Bono,and he said The Joshua Tree was U2's thoughts on America. In God's Country is another great tune from the album.
The live version on zoo tv was the best
Indeed. The Edge's solos on that tour for this were epic.
@@lordtazzman3140 I was going to say the same thing. The Edge’s soloing on that song during the Zoo TV tour was a nod to Hendrix. He sounded great!
A popular U2 song covered widely... including by Sepultura, Queensryche, P.O.D.
U2 is from Ireland... they grew up in an era of political violence & military occupation by British military, so they were well-acquainted w/ religious conflicts & brutality. They wrote political songs in the past - 'Sunday bloody sunday' ... "New year's day" ...
Loved U2 up till rattle and hum. As a white South African. Hearing this band talk about Apartheid. Woke me the fuck up. U2 and Rodriguez was the protest artists.
It was inspired by his trip (with his wife) to Nicaragua and El Salvador and witnessed the local peasants were greatly affected by US military intervention in the areas....they update the lyrics and accompanying videos to modern day in live shows....Bono always has biblical references in his lyrics
This is greatest u2 song ever!!
U2 has always been a protest band since they started in Ireland. The world is too full of hate and not enough love. British 23 year Veteran. And I am now constantly depressed due to the things seen during that time and what we see now in all parts of the world.
Their "October / Bullet the Blue Sky" live in paris performance is a fantastic take on those two songs by U2 again.
Favorite song by them, mainly because of how heavy it is. Lyrics as well as music. They were a pretty political band, especially early on. Sunday Bloody Sunday, about the Irish conflict. Their first big US hit, first thing I heard by them was Pride (In The Name Of Love), about MLK.
Hi guysvyou should see this track live in Paris 2015 amazing message
This isn't even the hardest/heaviest song on the album. That would be "Exit".
In terms of politics. They did shift. However, I think it can be objectively seen that they transitioned into what is effective, versus a selling out. Additionally, angst and anger is a younger man's arena.
Please, Peace on Earth, American Soul, and Love and Peace or Else.
In younger years their politics were more decidedly focused on critique. While that still exists, the larger focus is on hope and possibilities. Live Aid went further, turrning into AIDs relief and Debt relief, well funds and beyond one time donations and expanding into corporate responsibility and capitalist lifestyle and brands. So these issues become more of a fixture in everyday life, rather than only one-off late night appeal guilt and sadness
U2 was kind of a slow burn for me. I always liked Bullet the Blue Sky because of the kickass rock guitars, but I didn't really like their other stuff because I wasn't very good at reading into subtext back then, and frankly, I didn't know very much about the world. I think it started to change somewhere around the early 90s. Back in the Zooropa era when they first started experimenting with large screens during live shows, they would sell out stadiums in pretty much every country around the world. (On a side note, if stage tech interests you, you might look into how the band's crew created stage visuals that simply didn't exist at the time -- first with large CRT screens, then with LED panels.)
I remember that what caught my attention and made me give them a second chance was that every show they played, they would make a video call to a reporter in Sarajevo (like they'd be on the phone, but the person they were calling would also be broadcasting video live over satellite to the concert venue). Sarajevo was like this four-year-long conflict which was basically religious fundamentalists killing thousands of innocent people and the rest of the world pretending that it wasn't happening.
So, every concert, 10s of thousands of people would have to listen to these calls and watch this guy describe how things went for him that day in this city that was being bombed on a daily basis from the surrounding hills. And in that way, they gave coverage to an injustice that simply wasn't being covered elsewhere. I think they eventually stopped because they were afraid that the reports were making the reporter a target for the religious fundamentalists, but that really stuck with me and made me pay more attention to them and their music.
It's not like they've ever changed in essentials.They decided to explore their own music, chasing it into other genres -- yeah, I know, that's a bug rather than a feature to some people. But their underlying messages have been pretty thematically consistent through the years. That's probably why you don't hear U2 fans complaining about the band selling out. They sometimes say, "Oh, I didn't like how Pop sounded. I'm glad they changed back for All That You Can't Leave Behind," but never stuff like, "They're just bootlicking for the man on Songs of Innocence."
Selling Out. Back in the 80s and into the 90s that was a huge dilemma or concern. But where punk rock ethos was dealing with this on more superficial level of coolness and pseudo cred, U2 had already wrestled with this on much deeper levels of who they were as people, They almost broke up early their career around their 2nd album, because they were part of a small religious sect that was somewhat forcing them to choose between the church or rock n roll. Ultimately they chose Music. You can always hear the internal struggle in their songs, even in their most uplifting and "happier" sounding songs.
This song always reminds me of The Doors. That flow is so Jim Morrison.
Great song. You should check out U2 Drowning man.
Guess it's possible that Rage Against the Machine took some influence from this when they were 👶👶👶👶...😉
The edge is one of Tom Morellos favourite guitarists
There are so many great U2 songs. So many you should react to.
U2 I think one the greatest bands and still performing to sold out crowds,remember this band formed by Larry Mullen Jr started before the death of Elvis Presley and Larry totally influenced by Elvis,u know this band evolved over the yrs just as Elvis did, and stay relevant in the history of modern music,this band is better than credit given to them I've seen then live twice in Melbourne and man they are brilliant.
That Rage Against The Machine comment on this song is spot on Vin. This song was a big influence on a young Tom Morello. Good ear !
Bullet the blue sky is a Vietnam reference. North Vietnam had people lying on their backs, firing AKs and even SKSs into the air basically blindfire, in hopes of hitting a passing American jet with "the golden bb".
It likely didn't do much, but it had potential, depending on the relative's elevation of the shooter.
But then the people would have had to deal with "happy fire fallout" a.k.a. what goes up, must come down.
In Gods Country and One Tree Hill, and Red Hill Mining Town are 3 more songs from the same album you should hear
Such an awesome review. I love the deep conversations you two get into over a song. You two analyze songs like no one else on the internet! U2 has been my favorite band since I first saw them back in 1987, I've seen them countless times and can't get enough. I am all over the map musically, I Love Nightwish, Soundgarden, Audioslave, Metallica, Guns N Roses, Eluveitie, Frank Turner, Cellar Darling, Jinjer, Anthrax, Evanescense, Halestorm, Slipknot and many many more artists including some Country, Pop, Rap and Classical music. BUT U2 will always be my Favorite. 😁 Also, Sepultura has a pretty good cover of this song!
Joshua Tree easily in the top 3 best albums of the 80’s
Amazing in live version
Their live version in Paris after the Bateclan terrorist act was the best one imo
The whole angle Vin goes with, "we're selfish people", is interesting because it's axiomatically correct for the reasons not implied. For centuries we (meaning the global north) have developed systems that reward greed, and then we act greedy and get rewarded for it. The self service of self service becomes memetically justified, the more memetically justified it becomes the more we act on it. If you want to meet the kindest most sweet individuals try talking to the impoverished.
It's hard to fathom there is a more irritating person than Bono, but you sir .....exceed and excel at this task....well done fella
i love this number. yayy
U2 fan here. From the Boy and War era and on.
vin and sori you 2 make me laugh the disagreements are just hilarious
The Refugee from the War album is another observation that needs more attention.
U2 has always been a band that pushed themselves to explore what they're capable of.
First album I ever bought I'd listen to this song b4 football games in lockerroom using my Walkman of corse
Bono composed this song from his experience visiting a rural war zone in El Salvador.
U2 RULES!!!!!!! U2 has more records sold than the BEATLES
Just here to spread the love
Joshua tree is the measure of the perfect album. Nothing stands close to this as every song is perfect
Sepultura - Bullet the blue sky (U2 cover)
You should watch the live version of this from Rattle and Hum. You should also listen to their War album.
great song and album, pretty much the end of my listening to them
U2 is from Ireland. They have been there. If you go back to their early music is very much from this place. But they couldn't sustain, listen to One. They found their way. Bono is deeply religious, he wouldn't mess up a Bible verse. He and his wife have been married since 1982, met when they were 12.
Now listen to P.O.D.'s cover of this song 👍🏻
Would love to see you react to U2 One
This is a political song that condemns US foreign policy for promoting unrest in Central America. Bono wanted to draw attention to the damage the US was doing in other countries, which he felt most Americans did not know the extent of. Criticism of America did not hurt record sales there, as The Joshua Tree was the #1 album its first week of release. It also didn't hurt Bono's status with American politicians, many of whom invited him to speak on behalf of various causes. Far from being seen as an enemy of the state, Bono was celebrated by most government officials, and he used his celebrity and access to advance a variety of causes.
I'm a big U2 fan from high school, first fell in love with them with this album, was absolutely obsessed, wanted Bono's baby, etc. 😁 My interest kinda faded off after their album "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb", and as for bands I was obsessed with Radiohead kept moving up to where I would call them my favourite band. (And more recently I've been obsessed with hip hop, so go figure...) I still love my favourite albums of theirs - The Joshua Tree, Achtung Baby, Zooropa, Pop (and I made it a mission to collect rare b-sides from pop while I was in homeschool - most I haven't seen streaming..), then I would say I like the rest and don't know what's been happening since the faint memory of an album after HTDAAB. I've seen them live in concert... let's say 2008-10ish? And I had my screaming Beatles fan girl moment when I actually saw them - in person for the first time after loving them for over a decade!!
My love had faded over time, like Bono's good looks, but they'll always hold a place in my heart and on Spotify. They're kind of like my Beatles.
Hiya from Finland! Would merely love to leave a suggestion whenever you have free time: Snake Pit Poetry-Einar Selvik live in Krakow. He is the singer of Wardruna, and am sure you'd have lots of fun with that song. Have a wonderful day over there!
Mullen is a solid drummer
Larry Mullen Jr is immensely talented & creative. He has some of most unique sounding beats in rock history. Very underrated drummer.
You should of seen it live 2015
Very underrated classic by the band formerly known as The Hype.
Who underrated this?? Must have been someone that couldn'd stand the mash-up between The Doors, Jimi Hendrix and the precursor to a modern metal feel 😉
This is the best song U2 ever did and one of the few of their good ones.
This song was a true story, Bono and Ali traveled to el Salvador to help children and they were catched by a gun fire in the conflict, Bono said The Edge he tougth he will die, because the bullets came from a blue clear sky.
It's about fighter planes doing strafing runs on a village and war profiteering
Live version is much better )
React to more U2. Pride (In the name of love) is a good one
You should check out POD's cover of this song.. it kicks ass!
SEPULTURA did a version of this song as well.
@@jamieperdue8663 Cool, I'll have to check it out!
The ONLY way to reaction videos for U2 is do live versions. Bullet from Sydney ZooTV is INSANE, also Paris 2015. But any U2 song is elevated live.
"Jacob wrestled the angel
And the angel was overcome"
In other words, this time evil overcame good. See also the poem by another Irishman, W.B Yeats, "The Second Coming", which also mixes Christian symbolism with a prophecy of impending disaster.
💚💚💚
try U2 ' Magnificent'
I like U2, outside of With or Without You and Where The Streets have no Name : D
Listen to u2..another of there songs have biblical thems..until the end of the world eg..Great band
Could you guys review “Pretty” (from korn) sometime?
Not a big U2 fan but the Edge is some guitarist, I'd listen to U2 just for him, drums and bass, especially from some reason 1997, they jammed then, but Bono after 99 was a plonker.
It's a real shame you didn't get asked to do the live version on Rattle & Hum. Bono ad libs and it adds so much more to the song. One of the great live performances. I'd advise you to listen in your spare time. U2 jumped the shark after this album and became rather bland, bar the odd song (Tho Rattle & Hum did have some really good tunes, but it's a mix of live and studio)
Jumped the shark before Achtung Baby? Definitely don't agree. Achtung Baby is their masterwork.
@@meganclick6002 Cool. If you love it, keep on enjoying it. My opinion on Achtung Baby is not defining. Millions bought it and loved it, I just lost interest in U2 after it x
Y'all should check out U2 Sunday Bloody Sunday.
All hail the great Boognish!!!
@@michaelakkerman407 they're one of my favorite bands!!
Mine as well, seen them live a few times, got tickets for when they come back touring again. Next summer... yes Ween rules...
You should hit up U2's "Mother's of the Disappeared." Another political commentary song about what happened in the seventies and eighties in Argentina. It's so sad.
U2 mothers of the disappeared
This song was "inspired" from US'' interventionist policies in Central America during the 80's. So U2 is creating an image of war and fear that civilians experience from fighter planes conducting bombing raids. We all know that civilians are always "collateral" damage even today in other countries.
Sepultura version is just as good, in its own way
Reminds somehow stoner rock. Would you react to Rottin Christ - daimonon vrosis?
You are reviewing quite possibly the greatest rock song ever written and ever will be in the history of mankind.
Listen to humble pie...i don't need no doctor
Paul Hewsen
I saw on another video you react to Wardruna - Kvitravn! Can you react to SKÁLD - Rún! They are one of my fav bands and if you loved wardruna and heilung you will prob like SKÁLD!
All you zoomers reading this owe it to yourselves to go through U2's entire catalogue
U2 was hardcore from the start in there style of music (:. They were very political and about the people since there Unforgettable Sky Album I think it's called that (:. And the other Album where this song is from The Joshua Tree (:. And this from early 80s too Mid 80s 90s and on (:. And it's not that they sold out or ever sold out it's just there musical style has changed and evolved thought the times and is forever changing as long as they are still playing (:. They inspired lots of bands and have great music PERIOD (:. But U2 Bono and the other guys in the band were always aware of the state of the world and it's forever going issues and problems and hardships and struggles (:. They were very hardcore aware too that always (:. React too react a live version of this song were he is using a ampler mega phone and instead of attacking the royal flush guy (:. He attacks himself using very Kool metaphors too describe how he lost his soul and conciousness living in his comfortable world while the world is still in war and still suffering with the struggles and issues (:. React too News Years Day or Sunday Bloody Sunday or Pride In The Name Of Love all of them are about war politics human rights you name it (:. Anyway nice reaction and U2 is a great goat band (:
If you want to understand this song watch this interview with Bono about writing this song. th-cam.com/video/bPoEn01C4-Q/w-d-xo.html
It would be cool if you react to Zitti e buoni by Maneskin. Have a nice day!
He wrote this song from a liberation theology cult mindset. Liberation Theology pits race against race calls us greedy but Michael W. Smith put Bono Straight with capitalism being the way out of poverty. It took Bono 10 years of unsuccessful attempts to solve Africa debt but the social bank system grabbed all of the donation money in interest rates alone.
Won't explained that's where his mind set back then but his eyes were open to prosperity through free markets and competition to self regulate not forced regulate. Anywho it's musically awesome and the edge has a way of playing the blues slides and Irish jingles.
The Blessing Joshua Trees are now very few now know in the Texas hill country and flat lands as far out to Arizona and crooked crosses are the other known 🌵 Cactus the borders are patrolled by actual fighter jets that excessive everyday at 2pm in Texans are a hard land but have good in it by God, Freedom.
Bono's needs to read Nehemiah 5 build the wall
Oh, the good old U2, before philanthropism and hypocrisy kicked in for Bono
Please explain the "hypocrisy". U2 has always been political and "aware". When they reached a level of fame and wealth where they could use their celebrity to make a difference, they did. I don't see any hypocrisy or anything negative about that.
@@isabeljimenez6067 I call bullshit. They just need a way to evade taxes. Look for panama papers. They have become what they a long time ago despised. Not gonna add that their music now is mediocre and with no soul.
PS. They were my favorite band for many years.
@@AlexTheCynic if they were your favorite band for many years then you know they have been political and philanthropic since the very beginning. As far as their music not being as good..... it is a rarity that any band goes on making the same calibur of music 40 years later.
@@AlexTheCynic btw ..... I just looked on three different sites listing who is involved with the Panama Papers and guess who does NOT appear on any of them...... BONO.
Bono.....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is off Rattle n Hum. It's the best album by U2... I know how awesome Joshua Tree is... this album is better. Have listened to each front to back many times!
The live version is off Rattle N Hum which might be your favorite album but it is NOT better than Joshua Tree. I’ve seen Rattle n Hum many times in theatres and loved it and most of this album was filmed/ recorded while on JTree tour… but nope. ☮️
U2 fan here: They have to some degree "sold out" from 2000 onward . Their sound became much more radio-friendly and safe. They are still a great live-band but I dont have the same excitement about a new U2 album today as I had earlier. Anyway, they were an AMAZING band for 20+ years so I think that its ok for them to just be a decent band today and they still have occational great songs even if their albums are not consistetnly great as they were in the 80's and 90's.
How u never heard this song. Can't respect anything else you say.
So Vin…….there are some of us out here that voted for Trump based on the stuff you are talking about now. He didn’t come through as much as I had hoped, but “quit meddling in other countries” is foundational to Trumpism. Chomp on that for awhile.
Get down to business at the end of a video. Two minutes of $$$$ talk
I love this song...but the Sepultura version more.!!! and yes free Palestine.!!
