  • You are all stupid... A cover by a band of a song from another isn't aiming to be as good or better as the original, in the same sound, it's a tribute... U2 was in the experimentation of new sound before Achtung Baby when they did that, and they wanted to give this song a shot with a new kind of sound that they were developing. By no mean they wanted to sound as the rolling stones. And this is actually pretty good in it's own style.

  • im a big fan of U2, but this is not good :/

  • Brilliant cover, way WAAAAAY better than the original - which was a pile of gay crap in the first place ;)

  • This is a shit

  • gay as U2

  • @Dominator5515 Congratulations for your remarquably well thought commentary.

    ... do you realize that by saying that you make yourself look like a gay ?

  • cool but nothing can replace the version of The Rolling Stones

  • U2... at least you tried.. but no chance to face the original by the rolling stones, give it up to cover epicness - you can only lose

  • @artanay Agreed.

  • ANVIL MUCH BETTER BY FAR!!!!!!!!!

  • why there are so many dislikes :S

    i almost thought it's a fake cover, like the one with "the beatles" and mrs. Robinson

  • crap! didnt mean to click opn this!

  • Sorry Bono but this is a no go buddy, helter skelter yes but survey said uuh uuuh

  • to much auto tune 

  • i wouldn't mind it so much if there was some hint of the original's verse guitar line

  • bonos voice is strange its in and out of good and bad

  • Hm not bad its definitly a tribute considering these guys are friends with each other, long live U2 an The Rolling Stones!!!

  • Sıçmışsın Yu Tu.

  • with all due respect to U2 i don't like this..

  • Stones Modern.

  • I think this one is ok. But I still prefer the original one, of course. But come on people, U2 didn't actually ruin it. They just made a cover becouse they like the original one. I have seen better covers, but some people may like this one, so let them like this.

  • We dont like this gay shit! We like The Rolling Stones! ;))

  • Eh sorry to know that U2 ruined this song.I still like U2 tho

  • they ruined the song with this gay shit...

  • @NRaduC Mick Jagger was one of Marianne Faithfull’s many sexual partners. They had a higly publicised romantic relationship.

    In her 1994 autobiography, “Faithfull: an autobiography,” she wrote that once during sex with Mick Jagger, he whispered in her ear, “I’d like to be making love to Keith Richards right now.”

  • @Thedarkcountry take a long walk off a short pier ...you ugly turdface

  • what the fuck is this shit -.- bad u2 very bad

  • This should be banned!

  • STOP ARGUING ON THE INTERNET!!!

  • @Thedarkcountry and you suck your mom's dick...that transgender whore

  • only bono could fuck this song up!

  • @METALLICA6547 you're the fuck up you fucking shitstain stop commenting on this cover as if was just released yesterday when the cover itself was recorded in 1992 and is almost 20 years old...btw this cover fucking rocks...anyone who doesn't like it like the shitdick who's comment appears next to yours is a fucking moron...that means you

    Speaking of a fucked up cover that would be Metallica's "Whiskey in the Jar"....only they could that song up that badly

  • @wolfennyc lmao your so emotionally invested in this song hahahaha how cute

  • @wolfennyc oh yeah,nice trollin chan you got set up,all ready to attack,thats very kewl dood

  • listen Paint in Black by The NoMad'Steps !! wonderful acoustique cover ^^

  • I have two tatoos one U2 one Rolling Stones..

  • I've listened to this version a couple of times,and have heard how,over the "MANY" years the Stones have played Paint it black a difficult song to play live.

    Mick's voice has certinally changed on this one a lot over the years,more so than any other Stones song that I can think of. I liked the early versions of this with Brian jones on the sitaar.

    Trust me if this "U2" version was by any un-known band or "a lesser known band" it'd have been shot down in flames !!

    It SUCKED BIG TIME !!!!!!!

  • NO, NO,NO! MAKE THE BAD MEN STOP!

  • I love the stones version and love U2, no harm here, like it!

  • I don't like U2, but this song is............ BAD. It's like some ugly smelly shit. :S

  • Is this like the first emo song ever?

  • nunca habia escuchado este cover suena genial =) lo subire a mi sitio de videos LOOKEDVIDEOS

  • its a good cover but the vid is.. well less than that...cmon give us some Vietnam stuff then that what would be Epic!!

  • is more like the cure...but this sounds is effeminate.

  • Love it!!!

  • Sounds like something being played in a pick-up bar somewhere in wherever.

    It belongs in Spiderdud, Broadway's greatest flop.

  • Bad :(

  • This is a pretty disappointing cover.

  • I prefer the Paint it black by the Rolling Stones

  • Was not a good idea.

  • i think U2 are not able to understand the message of the song...serious, this cover is crap

  • I love U2, but this is a fucking mess. There are certain R&R songs, such as Eric Burdon's "House of the Rising Sun", Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody", etc., that can never be duplicated. Bands that attempt such folly only embarrass themselves.

  • @Dayga Wrong, man. Burdon certainly did not write "House of the Rising Sun". It's older than dirt, I'm afraid.

  • @thatwalrusguy I didn't intend to imply that Burdon (Animals) wrote HOTRS, only that their version has become an iconic masterpiece, much like Bohemian Rhapsody and various rock classics. I know artists want to express their creativy and interpretation of other works, but some songs simply transcend those bounds, and even well-intended imitations end up simply make me cringe.

  • SOOOO GAY!!!!! FUCK U, U RUINED THIS SONG!!!!!

  • @MrOmgImBa go and suck your mama's tits if it ain't pleasin' you

  • @dominael nah i dont need that i can fuck your mom instead

  • they just ruined this song

  • not for bono voice..dancing barefoot and satellite of love were amazing

  • they made it too happy

  • This sounds like someone shitting in my ear.. way to ruin the greatest song of all time

  • Nice cover. Cool.

  • This sucks ass!!!!

  • I agree. There are better cover versions of this great song. Bono here sounds more like he is whining than singing LOL

  • fuck you Bono

  • I love both the original and this cover. People who dont understand the lyrics and the move of the song are the Idiots and quite frankly the dumb fucks who will never realise the meaning of the song. And therefore those people are irrelavant in this thread. That is all.

  • this song is about as useful as a shit flavored lolly pop.......

  • why oh why did the record company/Stones or whoever owns the rights to this classic song allow this monstrosity to come out. i really dislike U2 but that has nothing to do with why i dislike it, if had been good i'd have commented so. this is just vile.

  • de los peores covers que he escuchado en mi vida ojala saquen de medio musical a estos nefastos.

  • Not good.

  • no le llegan nik jager 

  • And Bono fucks yet another thing up...

  • bono asshole

  • Horrible

  • SHITE

  • Took all of the emotion out of it and just added 27 different effects

  • Wow...this is just...bad

  • inga tu madre bono

  • awfull

  • voy a matar a bono, como se atreve, jajajaja

  • Is it me or does it seem that people mistake a band doing a cover song from another band as an attempt to "make it better" or "one up" the original? And these people get all bent out of shape and disgusted? Look people, cover songs are done because the band that's covering it loves the song and respects the original artists. It's a tribute more than anything else. Have a coke and a smile. Keith Richards doesnt care...so why the fuck should you? Holla.

  • @TheChoice264 i get that, in most cases, bands do covers as a homage but this sounds more like an insult!! sorry just my opinion. although i dont think Mick n Co will be complainin' about the money generated from said insult.

  • @TheChoice264 Keith Richards probably doesn't care because he gets royalties for this crappy cover and there wasn't much he could do to stop U2 from putting it out in any event. By your logic, I could take a dump, dedicate it to the Rolling Stones, and it's a tribute. That's pretty much what U2 did here.

  • @TheChoice264 Hell yeah jude!!

  • @TheChoice264 good English.....

  • @TheChoice264 Amen to that.

  • @TheChoice264 There is a difference between not liking a cover version and expecting it to be the same as the original - personally I think the song lost it's nerve and feel when u2 covered it but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate why cover songs are made.. BEst cover I ever heard btw is Manic Depression by Hendirx, covered by a punkband called Nomeansno, you should give it a listen if you're into that sort of thing =)

  • @TheChoice264 ya but when U2 butchers a perfectly good song, its a fucking outrage.

  • @TheChoice264 Yeah. Keith Richards said have some coke and smile too ). 

  • @TheChoice264 Sorry man, this "respect and love" thing is only Your theory. Cool rock covers are imho eg. "Bang Bang" by the Raconteurs or "Jolene" by White Stripes. Imho a cool U2's cover is eg. "All along the Watchtower" of Jimmy Hendrix' song. It has power and all the things. But... this one... this one is pure sh*t. It's only a weak, unnecessary copy - not a real cover.

  • TOSSERS!

  • @ all haters

    I grow up with U2 music nobody can be bettah then U2 NEVER!!!!!!!!

    i love very single song =D

  • @slimegolem lol

  • They should make it to where if you fuck up a good song by doing a crappy cover you should lose a finger or two. They would teach you to try and fix something that aint broke.

  • @5B1O3Y Hey that's MTV's new top 100. Shittiest cover songs!!!

  • Wont comment on their original stuff, but in my opinion of course. U2 sucks at covers.

  • @Beermonkey80 U MITE THINK THEY SUCK, BUT ITS THERE WAY OF SAYING THANKS TO SOME OF THE GREATS

  • Hááát, nem is tudom ...

  • Hááát, nem is tudom.

  • Atrocious cover, atrocious band.

  • u2 does not suck >_> maybe this one song but come on this band made lots of albums my favorite album is u2 war and the best of 1980's-1990's. once again Bono does not suck you people probably love rebbeca black-friday lol.

  • U2 sucks ass they are one of the worst bands in history, and bono is a self obsessed prick. and dont say its just my opinion because anyone who says that is too much of a worthless dumbass to come up with a reason why U2 doesent suck. they ruined a great song by a legendary band.

  • THIS IS BLASPHEMY one of the worst covers i had ever heard in my life YOU SUCK BONO!

  • omg you completly butcherd that song

  • I'm huge U2 fan and I love the fact that this song is in my collection; however, this is a crappy song. They completely toned down the original version. It lacks creativity and emotion. There's a reason why it never became popular. The same can be said for their other song on that single - "Fortunate Son." That is also bland and monotonous, not doing any justice to the original.

  • I hope this solidifies U2 blows

  • bad, terrible horrific

  • this is missing the groovy sitar.

  • Not good..........crap........very bad cover!

  • This sucks.

    Orginal is better then this.

  • Bono does some great covers, but I agree this isn't one of them and Mick is arrogant but I still like them although The Stones just don't cut it for me live anymore. but their Music will Def Live on 4ever

  • im guessing U2 did this as a tribute to a band that influenced them. being from ireland and a fan of U2 i can honestly say it didn't work. it would be like some redoing 'with or with out you'. some things are best left alone

  • guess who ruined the song paint it black these bastards press the original from the roling stones

  • Why is U2 even touching this song? Idk i like the original much more. Gotta agree that Bono is arrogant. Just open a Rolling Stone

  • U2 SUCKS!!! NEVER SHOULD YOU FUCK UP A LEGENDARY SONG

  • @metsnygiants ok then go listen to your lady gaga. u2 is very respectable band

  • @TheMichaelsnumber1 GAGA, fucking hell no! The rolling stones are better, that's mostly what i meant, and u2 is all technoish, not rock so i don't give a fucking shit.

  • Brilliant cover of a brilliant song

  • dare i say - its better than the original! Love it x

  • Another piece fo shit from the worst band I ever heard!

  • Bad cover, it's too ''colorful''

  • @KrissernD true it should have been more melancholic in a irish way

  • @KrissernD

    No youre wrong, what it does is bring the lack of colour from that era (liaten to all the other songs from that era - lacking stereo and templates of colour) The stones Original is timeless and essential to music but, covers are the updated accounts of this feeling. The original will be forever heralded as the best but these covers hold something for the new people in this generation. Both are great. Dont be that sad person who clings on to the past.

  • @Kaldhore

    ''No youre wrong, derp''

    Is my opinion wrong? Maybe i should have added ''Personally i think this is a bad cover''. But considering these kinds of videos isn't crawling with 12-year-olds i thought it wouldn't be necessary, i guess i was wrong.

    And saying i'm ''that sad person who clings on to the past'' for not liking something you do is making you look like an idiot.

    Please don't be that one sad person who can't accept other people's opinions.

  • @smartguy9765

    At no point did I call you sad. I discredited your lackluster *Bad Cover* comment. I thought I was quite neutral and explanatory and did not directly insult you as you did me. I said dont be, not you are. Im probably older than you to be honest but I recognise that a song is good aswell as the original being the best. And by the way you misquoted me too, but others will see that too , so Im thinking im not the one who is an idiot.

  • @smartguy9765 Ok I dont know what you saw into what I wrote but it was obviously more than i intended. I meant no harm. You have every right to your opinion and I relish the fact that you do. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Thank the grace for that.

  • @smartguy9765 Derp? you have quoted me saying this. And I obviously didnt. A lie. Which puts everything else you say in disripute. Your lie departs you from thinking you know about what you talk about. And also your lack of inteligence saying i directed ANYthing at you is obsurd. Get over yourself. and Learn from human kindness.

  • @Kaldhore

    Didn't we already already have this discussion?

    And derp summarized all than followed, as well as compliment the incredibly bald ''youre wrong'' statement.

    Was there anything else you wanted to talk about?

  • @smartguy9765 Ha, To be honest I never expected a reply. but you and your *derp* seem to be looking down on me and my opinion. Of course I have a right to it. So im not defered by your arogant slight. I stated my opinion and that is that. What ever you think is yours. Keep your derp with you whereever you go im sure it will keep you loose comfort.

  • And BTW I never said at all youre sad - i said dont be. If you choose (which you did) to be that person then im sorry.

  • @Kaldhore

    How does my previous comment make me sad? You're an idiot either way though, so whatever.

    And you have already told me all this like three weeks ago. Are you mentally handicapped in some way?

  • @smartguy9765 Dude like I said - I never said your sad - you have a right and I welcome your opinion - i just think its wrong - which is MY opinion that you seem to think I dont have a right to...

  • @KrissernD They should paint it black.

  • Aww, way too much phaser on everything.

  • This is awful. I actually like U2 but this is really crap...Echo & the Bunnymen's cover is so much better, but of course they were never as famous :/ This world is f-ed up!

  • Ew

    

  • This is bloodless man ! Sir Cliff Richard could do better ! lol

  • fuckin' shitty cover by a shitty band

  • this is f**** awful! i mean i'm all for covers of GREAT rock songs but this is just shocking

  • i love U2, but this is crap.

  • ...I like U2, but they killed it. They should just have done their spin on it, but this was overkill.

  • @XRobertX009

    Are you actually stupid? Where the hell can you hear autotune, the effect you hear is actually a Chorus/Flange type. So next time, actually know what your talking about before commenting ;)

  • ಠ_ಠ

    not good.

  • WTF! Why do U2 have to destroy an extremly good song from Rolling stones?!

  • shit

  • I don't like what they have done with this....

  • he should have just used his voice instead of auto tune.

  • i just dont like the voice autotune but still good cover

  • oh shit, U2 delete the fucking awesome riff ¬¬

  • yea LOL this is shit as

  • This isn't a bad cover, and it's better than most of the versions of this song I've heard, but the Stones' version will remain the definitive one for me.

    Feel free me to call me out on this (I'll just ignore you), but I wouldn't mind a Three Days' Grace cover of this song. For some reason, I think its lyrics and guitar/sitar riffs would go well with 3DG. That's my call.

  • @nahalba stfu dumbass he sings anything great...no doubt better than you in your dreams!

  • One of the great covers done at that time such as Fortunate Son or Satellite of Love.

    Great sound of the Acthung Baby era.

  • This version is absolute shit compared to the original. WTF were they thinking? You can't give a dark title like paint it, black a poppy sound.

  • omg this is unbelieveble like u2 can ever come near the quality of the stones, just compare bono to mick then you know enough. u2 should be allowed to cover good music cuz they cant make any either.

  • One word... GAY!

  • better silence.

  • terrible! hate them! Screw U2...

  • Common guys music isnt a item too make war about, in fact music is an universal medium too unite the peoples against poverty and injustice, the main ingredients for dispair and war!

  • i just saw the title and wanted to say FUCK YOU U2!! UR A SHIT BAND WITH A DICKHEAD OF A SINGER THAT WONT SHUT THE FUCK UP THINKING HE'S JESUS TRYING TO SAVE THE WORLD, THIS WAS A SHIT COVER AND U ARE THE MOST OVER RATED BAND IN THE WORLD!! now if only they could see my comment :(

  • IS that his majesty the queen priscilla? priscilla queen of the desert?

  • umm... no.

  • Comment removed

  • Awesome cover. U2 and the Stones are two of rocks greatest, obviously u2 showing their respect for the Stones here. Bullshit comments as usual all over this video.

  • @davidmcgold I am not a U@ fan but they did a fine cover of this song!

  • @ziegeliebe BWAHAHAHAHA!

  • @thejackalopezz bwahahahha

  • @ziegeliebe i dont like U2 but you spelt it wrong just to let you know

  • I think you guys need to stop thinking about the Stones while you listen to this, because it's a cover, it's not supposed to sound the same. Think about it as an isolated thing and I think you'll like it better.

  • I did not know, that U2 can play- FANTASTIC!!!

  • Way to soft.

    U2 Rocks a lot, maybe more then the Rolling Stones (in my opinion), but this cover is a thing, that isnt good.......

    "Everlasting Love" and "I cant help falling in love with you" are way better

  • U2 is my favorite band of all time.....but this sucks !!!

  • @cvdqr Fuck yeah!!!

  • Stones fans are a bunch of dick sucking fags

  • u2 sounds to flat with this song.... hmmmm
