  • these guys are great. love it. gentleman at their finest.

  • bono looks like robin williams

  • There would be a long line of people willing to punch that little hypocrite Bono.

  • U2 are sexy and I love America and I am going to embrace the entire world and fill it with rainbows,angels, and kisses. I love Bono and all of U2 in every sense.

  • America is the most pathetic nation in the world, and by the way all Americans are immigrants, the real Americans are the Indians !!!

  • @gitarische News for you: The "Indians" are also immigrants, just from farther back than the Europeans. There are no "native" Humans in the Western Hemisphere.

  • U2 THE BEST BAND OF THE UNIVERSE

  • it's simple ..if you don't like U2...don't watch U2's videos! otherwise....andatevene tutti a fare in culo!!!

  • its sad to think that they're maybe the last rock band with a bit of 80's rock, which was the best era for music...specially rock. WHERE DID ALL THE ROCK BANDS GO?

    please u2, don't stop playing. You're the last of ur kind.

  • Best Band Ever .

    Just Fuck You.

  • @laboloche the second line is the name of the band?

  • Not at all. The title interested me. I don't particularly like their music and I find them pompous and pretentious. That doesn't mean I am totally uninterested in reading quirky stuff about them. And I do feel that there is nothing wrong in other people liking them.

    My addition of the second bit of stuff was said tongue in cheek. As I said, it doesn't mean that everyone should. Hence, "discuss". Your definition of trolling seems to lack a certain understanding to my mind. (Sense of humour?)

  • lol den scoth

  • absolutely the best, no one even comes close to u2

  • @ShadowDog415 Wow I'd seek help dude , urgently .....

  • @Quontomleeeep Why? I'm stating a fact

  • @ShadowDog415 On second thought it maybe to late ...

  • @Quontomleeeep hahah fuck you

  • @ShadowDog415 Ditto, go hump Bono LOL ......

  • @Quontomleeeep like i just said, fuck you

  • @ShadowDog415 Yer got it Mensa boy , and like I said 'Ditto' !!

  • @Quontomleeeep Yer? Are you a dumb redneck? Or southerner? Grow the fuck up

  • @ShadowDog415 You really don't have to localize your insult, just ask me if I'm an American that's insult enough these days .

  • @Quontomleeeep How dare you diss America, the greatest nation in the world, Ireland is great for giving us U2, but America is better overall...Fuck Off

  • @ShadowDog415 I can diss whoever I like , especially when it's totally deserved . You Egg !!!!

  • @Quontomleeeep Egg? What the fuck? Use some real insults prick

  • @ShadowDog415 CUNT !!!

  • @Quontomleeeep FUCK YOU

  • So what people are trying to say, is that bono is a selfish piece of shit because he doesn't give every penny he ownes to charity. If I had money like that I would buy some nice things for myself because bono earned that money by doing gigs and selling records instead of stealing tax payers money.

  • That's when you know when you're true friends,, when he hits you, and still love him. 

  • @iceskatergurl I met some good

    people at Oktoberfest in the KW

    years ago. one of them had that

    handle (I think) - took me a few

    minutes to remember (it was

    oktoberfest!)

    that couldnt possibly be you could

    it?

  • I don't care about anyone's views on world hunger, peace or shit like that. Honestly It's really all about the music!!! They do create great music to listen to, and their live shows are great!!!. I stopped listening to Bono years back. I only listens when he sings.

  • @iceskatergurl A likely story ,lassie. What has the dark got to do with the light?

  • @walenski2404 What do you mean? There's still light on the set... it's not dark :P

  • Comment removed

  • How can the most innocent non provoking band have so many haters???? WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH U PEOPLE?? ITS U2???? WHATS THE BIG FUCKING DEAL?????

  • Aren't these useless twits in HELL already??

  • @walenski2404 because you're still here

  • Bono, if you want to end world poverty, sell your tinted shades you cunt

  • @mikebarryrout he wears them because he has sensitive eyes. If you didn't know he spends tens of millions of dollars every year on the hungry and sick. He's been knighted by France and Britain, and has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize because of all his charity work. I'm pretty sure he's more humanitarian than musician, honestly.

  • The Edge seems like a nice guy, Bono is really hard to watch, or listen to.

  • Bono would probably shoot lasers out of his eyes if he took those glasses off.

  • I wish Bono would ditch the stupid yellow specs and I wish Edge would shave his remaining few hairs and lose the stupid hats. Maybe just for five minutes in their lives.

  • id like to smack bono in the face aswell.nice one edge. if that is your real name.

  • For Christ's sake get his name right - it's BONIO. Like the dog biscuit yeah? The Edge looks like an effing Sim.

  • I hate bono and the rest of those cunt "yeah were irish" by feckin arse yiz forget were ya came from and all ya can think about is money there stuck up pricks and there songs are shite Thin Lizzy now thats a true irish band always no were they came from didnt forget and always loved comin back unlike those pricks

  • @KnifeInTheAss most of them where not even born in ireland including phil linnot haha

  • U2 is the only mainstream band i can think of that i really, really like,

    i like the 80's goth-rock,new-wave, dark-wave scene and

    everything they produced till '87 is some of the greatest music i've ever heard

    and the stuff afterwards probably as well i just don't pay as much attention to it

  • I see 2 jerkoffs sittin on a couch.

  • You hate the English accent...... What a grown up, intelligent thing to say. Prick!!

  • @carleydavid those are not english accents

  • On Bono Biography Channel part 2 what is the song with nice guitar solo at 5:20

  • Does anybody know what show this actually was that he is talking about? Does the U2 Live Documentary book talk about it?

    -michael

  • Edge - "The thing I am most proud of is my modesty." Hilarious. The Edge is awesome.

  • U2 HATERS...the truth is that you say U2 suck ONLY because you just plain don't like them and their music. What you say about them is all to your opinion. U2 have proven themselves as a great band with great success. U2 became famous because people loved their music. U2 are still famous because people STILL love their music. Most of the U2 haters i know are metalheads,no shit they think U2 suck, they like metal. as for Bono, i think hes a good man, he just needs a slap around the head

  • @HelterSkelterSOR U2 HATERS = GAY PEOPLE

  • @PISCORUSH thats true...i hate em and im a homo! :)

  • Nope, sorry! Unless I'm unique which I can't believe, I think U2 suck and I can't stand heavy metal. Maybe this is a nonsensical thing to argue about. Spot on when you say "you say U2 suck ONLY because you just plain don't like them and their music" but wouldn't you agree that basically saying:

    **** suck = I don't like their music

    is just defining not liking a band?

    Now I would offer another equation which is a bit more open to argument:

    Bono = pretentious f***wit.

    Discuss! ;)

  • @bordonbert wouldn't you agree that if you didn't U2 you wouldn't be wasting your time watching this video and start trolling?

  • @HelterSkelterSOR hey fuck you! im a metal head and i listen to U2 just because many of us hate U2 that doesn't mean all of ass. you fuckin dick..

  • @jerwinrocks hey hey hey i didnt mean ALL metalheads yes, i forgot to mention that

  • i hate english accent...Ireland 4ever

  • @rafalmatysiak77

    Racist cunt. If you hate English then don't speak it. Fuck off.

  • A great bunch a lads!!

    

  • saw them at cardiff...in the inner circle....and it was shit.

  • Friends.Forgiven Today.

    But Not Again. Ok.

  • nice chaps. love them !

  • Best pop-rock band ever, nuff said.

  • you all claim to hate them but here you are watching their video's , and taking the time to comment. go watch your justine beiber videos than. losers!!!hahaha

  • i thought they would show it :( ah, well...

  • Bono has really aged within the last two years

  • Clearly Bono got too close to The Edge.

  • wow i didn't realize there was so much hate for u2 and bono....like it or not they are the best band ever...look at how long they've been together...late 70's until now...that's over 40 years...and they've had way more good albums than just one...look at how many hits they've had...look at what they've done to literally change the world....anyone that doesn't see it is just blind...if only they still made bands like this today...it's a rare thing....glad it happened during my lifetime.

  • I remember back during their Zoo TV show in Vancouver Canada, the first night, they were having problems starting "Pride In the Name of Love" and Bono was so pissed at Larry he threw his microphone at Larry's drum kit and damaged it. It was interesting to see as I have never seen Bono upset since.

  • I'm not saying anyone could do it just a lot of people do it way better then them and most great bands have more then one good album

  • U2 is the worst band of all time they live off of one album and no one cares about anything else they have ever done because they suck

  • @Brad21121 I disagree

  • @Brad21121 Why don't you start a band, so you can be even worse. Funny how you think they're living off of one album. War, Joshua Tree, and Achtung Baby have all sold millions. The remasters have been decent sellers even though nobody really buys music anymore.

  • why does he ALWAYS wear a hat?!

  • Bono= Wife

    Edge =Husband

    Adam and Larry= Sons

    :D

  • @09demonicslayer09 You are a mistake..whats this a fuckin english grammar lesson...get a life

    U2 are the best.......... popularity breeds contempt

  • @09demonicslayer09 This is the weird thing with u2. Eno worked with greats so either eno isn't great himself and it was all them or he just failed with u2. They are so musically crap it's astounding.

  • @bastardfingers lol i guess you must be one of the people the responder above was writing about

  • @09demonicslayer09

    bb loser=)

  • @09demonicslayer09

    Ok I saw one mistake that I per accident said know instead of now. Not more. Btw, I am not english and I see mistakes in your grammar also;)

  • @09demonicslayer09

    ok, your reasons but then at least say: I think they suck, know everyone thinks your a cunt because you make your reason a fact

    idiot.

  • @09demonicslayer09

    give me a reason why they suck? I mean, they are really talented. Believe me, I want to be friendly but hey, just give me a reason why they suck...

  • robin williams @ 0:50 anybody???

  • You can hate them and their music all you want, but the numbers speak for themselves and they just smashed all tour records, many held by the Stones.

  • @09demonicslayer09 sorry t disagree, their music rocks!! Take a breathe, have a good day!

  • @09demonicslayer09 Hi there!!

    You know, you don't have to watch them, just go away and crawl back under your stone, okay? THey are really great people, I wish there would be more guys like Bono and the others.

    They care for others, and they invest more money and time for people in need than other famous groups.

    Just leave them alone, okay?

  • @09demonicslayer09 No you hate u2 because you are too insecure to say you like mainstream music. Your 'hatred' of U2 is more a reflection of your own abject life failures and insecurity than on U2's music.

  • @andtimebecomesaloop ihave to agree with the other guy. i have never liked u2. thats a personal choice, i just dont like their music. some of there old stuff is good weather you like it or not but their new stuff is just BLAND. thats the word for their music. they should have quite a long time ago. theyre a business now thats all. a money making machine. most bands shouldnt stick around for that long. somewhere the rock n roll becomes fake. edge is an alright guitar player though

  • @andtimebecomesaloop or maybe its just because U2 are shite.

  • @andtimebecomesaloop I like lots of mainstream music. I just don't like U2 because they are shit.

  • @andtimebecomesaloop U2 is hardly mainstream...

  • @andtimebecomesaloop I think U2 is one of those bands that transends mainstream or underground. they just are what they are they dont try to follow the pop culture they create it and for some reason their music which is great music was accepted by mainstream

  • @andtimebecomesaloop no, it's because they're shit

  • @captainlustMnB

    Shit that has more Grammies (22) than any band in history. Must be a whole hell of a lot of people that like them. I hear their music used in TV shows, Commercials a lot. Voted into the Hall of Fame long before they stop making great music. What other band is still going strong since 1979?

  • @whatnowgop The Osmonds xD

  • @andtimebecomesaloop

    I actually just hate U2 and only came to this video hoping to see Bono get punched.

  • Edge would have made a good gay 

  • Edge's the coolest guy on earth hahaha good friend, good musician, good professional... well he's one of those guy it's worth knowing I suppose. Bono's fatastic as well, don't take me wrong, he's sort of the body of U2, but Edge's the soul it needs to survive. Thanks for being there the both of you

  • @Artieevans u cock u2 are shite righting on youtube u know em big fucking deal there a pair of plebs that make shit music do u know shane macgowan if u do then fair play to ya ill shake ur hand but these dickheads give me a fucking break mate

  • @Artieevans well said! we all need an Edge in our lives.

  • I'm a huge U2 fan and think Bono is a pretty cool guy. But like any other human, he has his flaws. Thanks to Youtube, I've been able to analyze them more so. The one thing that irks me about him during live concerts is that he appears to have this continuous habit of interrupting Edge's guitar solos. I sometimes think Bono has ADD or something..the guy can't keep still or stay quiet for too long during shows. I have to admit that I did chuckle when I heard Edge clocked Bono.

  • @SoccerRockNY I did too... hell, I still giggle.

  • What is the story about Larry ? I don't understand ( I am French)

    And the Story about Edge ?

    Well actually, who would be patient enough to tell me the story again ? Thanks

  • @lulli215 No problem! During one of the early gigs,Larry's drumkit fell apart and he stopped playing and tried to fix it.Bono was in a bad mood that day and he thought that Larry did that on purpose.He lifted the drumkit up to find Larry crouching and fixing his drum.Bono got really angry and Larry ran off the stage as Bono chased after him.Edge ran after B thinking that he would hurt Larry and grabbed B by the hair.They had a little fistfight and E throw a right hook on B. It was the only time.

  • LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE the Edge

  • Bono's platform is, ironically, contingent on his success. There is not enough money in the world to solve the structural problems in Africa, but Bono has done a good job shedding a spotlight and mobilizing others. I think if you feel "preached to" that's a personal issue. Plus ...... they're very talented musicians.

  • what is Jonathan Ross asking at 0:43? he was to fast =/

  • @alpers "have you ever come to blows?"

  • The Edge is now my hero lol

  • Rock Gods?

    Leave it out!!!

  • Besides the great music, I like U2 b/c they're just real people who like to laugh and don't take themselves too seriously. Keep us the great work!!

  • the edge is sexy as fck

  • Edge should have played Bill the butcher in Gangs of New York

  • they are so big and the same that there isn't much to talk about.

  • I cannot imagine The Edge angry. At all. He's so chill. I just can't see it.

  • @witchypoo71 Evans might be the oldest angry young man ever!!!

  • @witchypoo71

    He gets all Rock God Angry at his guitar at the end of Gone on the Boston Elevation DVD. It's spectacular!

  • health and safety demands Bono wear appropriate eye protection due to the stream of sh*te spurting from his mouth.

  • This is Jonathan Ross for god sake

  • As a longstanding u2 fan, I've followed their career closely over the years. They are at their most 'unfashionable' at the minute and the UK dislikes anybody who is a success - hence they hate Bono. The UK is full of losers who hate people who achieve something, because it reminds them of their own abject life failures. Brits always champion the unthreatening underdog. Another example was the unpopularity of David Beckham when he played for Man Utd.

  • U2 is as unthreatening as it gets, that's why they're disliked. Except instead of underdogs they're smelly juggernauts.

  • You are only preceded by your ignorance. U2 are the greatest band to have ever been. Anyone with reasonable musical knowledge knows that. If anything they are under-valued and under-hyped. You are threatened by U2 and jealous of them, because they are massively successful and you're a loser.

  • @andtimebecomesaloop there good but far from the greatest... fail comment.

  • couldn't have put it better

  • @andtimebecomesaloop your being a bit of an idiot

  • @andtimebecomesaloop

    What a load of shit. I hate Bono because he's a smug cunt, not because he's not an "unthreatening underdog". Idiot.

  • @andtimebecomesaloop where are you from mate?

  • @andtimebecomesaloop cant agree more.

  • @andtimebecomesaloop That's the worst description of British likes and dislikes ever! Haha anti-brit if ever i saw one!

    The reason we dis like him is because he doesn't pay taxes! And yet he tells all of us hard working TAX PAYERS to give more and more money to charity! Its easy for him his wages aren't diminished by 35% each time he works. He also gets millions more then we do.

    And if, by your belief us brits hate success then why do we support other british acts?!

  • @Relentless4Lifetv2

    Just a question- Why doesn't he have to pay taxes?

  • @hpdrwiz Because he's registered his home address as abroad, therefore it limits the time he can come to the country in which he owe's taxes, even though he has an address here. He's shifted his tax from Ireland to the Netherlands. Ireland is a tax haven. And amongst the absurd benefits it has offered is tax free status to artists. U2 have apparently exploited this to ensure that no tax has been paid on the royalties they have earned from their songs

  • bono

  • Hey Kid, for a 13 year-old you have good taste in music. As a young music writer u2 were the 'gateway' band that introduced me to the world of intelligent music back in the mid 80s. It's refreshing to see a young lad who's smart enough to appreciate proper music. Enjoy your musical journey.

  • It's a fashion thing , obviously. The man IS one of the biggest stars on Earth , so I  think he can in fairness

  • He has to, his eyes are sensitive to certain types of lighting

  • i'm sure plenty of people would pay a lot of money to have a swing at Bono...maybe that could be this next fundraiser- have like a kissing booth but instead u pay for a hit at Bono rather than a kiss!

  • can someone answer me this why is it that people from the UK hate u2 and bono for that matter so much. Usually when I read negative comments about them its usually from people from the uk?

  • watch Michael Tsarion's architects of control, that pretty much sums up why I don't like Bono.

  • i cant answer that. but i can say that I'm from the UK (scotland) and u2 are one of my utmost fave bands:D

  • @anthonyu2 it's really mainly people from North America who like them, probably because the fact that they're Irish overrides the fact that they produce tuneless, generic records which milk their early success.

  • why do people hate bono atleast hes tried to do something about poverty??

  • true

  • @unusedsn The question is: can you change the system from within the system? Hate is not a good feeling, indeed. It comes when love fades away. But why was there love first? The problem: Bono did it as Bono, people got envious. That's it. That's why I prefer to hang on bands like the Vibrators. There's not too much attitude around there ... just pure beauty of Rock ...

  • @unusedsn possibly because he's arrogant, annoying, and tries to portray himself as a rocker when he's a pop singer

  • @thecasinoschool4 pop singers use autotune. Bono doesnt. nuff said

  • @unusedsn because he's a total phoney making out he's holier than anyone else, he's just a poser - he never gives away his own billions

  • @unusedsn he is a tax dodging shite talking children runnin over prick.

    but thats only what ive seen IRL

  • @Crazybenjiwoo

    Dodges taxes from a piece of shit corrupt government to divert it to a more worthy cause than propping up an overinflated housing bubble... ONCE AGAIN. Boo hoo.

  • @unusedsn because he has enough money to give god knows how many towns in africa clean water, schools, food, medicine etc. and instead he makes other people feel guilty, while investing in shitty japanese phone companies.

  • @unusedsn Probably because being preached to about poverty by a man who has more money than most of us will earn in a lifetime...and being preached to by someone who is happy to have his hat flown around the world whilst droning on about climate change...I genuinely think the guy's heart is in the right place but if he that upset about poverty why not give his money away to those who need it? Let the guy live on £75 per week THEN he can preach to people who are struggling to make ends meet.

  • @unusedsn It's because he's a freak...he's rare...he's talented...and he's a great frontman.

    That's why people love him...

    That's why people hate him...

  • @unusedsn We hate Bono because he's rich as hell and yet asks the public to donate as much as they can to poor people in other countries but doesnt give any of his own money away. Bob Geldof is the same.

  • @beeniefide no bob is WORSE!!!

  • @unusedsn Because it doesn't fucking accomplished anything for 25 years, except raising his god complex. Supporting starving kids in Africa was hip in the 80's. Hollywood and the music industry moved on to Aids and cancer long time ago.
