  • Classic Johnny. Full of soul and living.

  • anyone else notice he has two different shoes on.

  • @pib219 Its called an "Orthopedic Boot" Sir Cash, he could kick some ass in his time ;)

  • Cash and Bono are and was the great singers,both had and have big hearts n minds.

  • this is the shit that gets me through these lonesome days!

  • You know you've made it in music when Johnny Cash covers your song.

  • @bittergunowner12 well.....not any more

  • ..........

  • 19 dumb people.

    

  • Did any one else click on this because you thought he was going to play Metallica?

  • @geddyfranco no

  • @geddyfranco no... metallica sucks the ballsacks of johnny cash and u2

  • soothing music and thee best song!

  • I have to say, I'm not a fan of Johnny Cash's voice, especially in this song.

  • @BobBurghart you're not a man

  • @shade6787 Pics or it didn't happen.

  • @BobBurghart can't post links on yt

  • wow this is great

  • a legend of american music(and mad thanx to rick rubin for keeping cash doing what he loved and needed up to the very end while producing the 5 best albums of cash ever made in my opion)siging an iconic bands song and making something special.

  • Johnny, like Elvis, makes these covers his own.

  • 17 people are seriously brain dead....

  • I don't know why all the arguing. Bono wrote a great song and U2's version was great. Johnny Cash just took it to another level. So many artists like Bono and Tom Petty realize Johnny is a legend and were honored to collaborate with him. Kudos to both Cash and Bono.

  • @kperk014 You are 100% correct. BUT IT"S JOHNNY CASH!! U2 were a bunch of Irish fags!  THAT"S JOHNNY CASH!!!

    It's the voice. Bono(r) simply can't match it. Octaves or not. IT"S JOHNNY CASH!!! This is great!!

  • Thumbs up if you're disappointed this wasn't a Metallica cover.

  • "No Video Just Audio," eh? Do you really think this needs video? Just listen to this phrasing! True story: a long time ago, I did an interview with Carl Perkins, who told me a great story. Back in the late 1950s, the Sun Records artists used to tour in Alabama, Mississippi, et al. John was the headliner (of course), Carl, Jerry Lee Lewis and the two new kids--Elvis Presley & Roy Orbison. Know what they charged at the door? A dollar. Wish I had a time machine...

  • @ajdurbano Lol, we'd all be rich, AND get to see Johnny Cash!

  • @ajdurbano There were probably people at the time who believed that anyone who gave a dollar to see that concert instead of putting it in the Church plate was going straight to hell.

    Nice story!

  • I usually don't like covers, but I always seem to prefer Johnny Cash's covers. It's his voice and an acoustic guitar that's perfect together like milk and cookies.

  • I've noticed that I hate the U2 original song, but everyone who covers it does a better job. Maybe Bono can just lick my balls.

  • @brrouleau ...What?

  • 1337 likes thats awsome

  • 17 dislikes? Tone death :P

  • the 17 people that disliked this song haft to be 12 or insane!

    RIP Johnny Cash<3

  • RIP Johnny Cash :)

  • U2 is my absolute favorite band of all time and I LOVE that Johnny Cash worked with them. Love. It. So. Good.

  • This is a fantastic version Love it

  • Johnny puts a simplicity and soul into one of U2's greatest songs. Best song ever written imho.

  • PERFECTION !!!!!!

    

  • i think in the 4th quarter he did some awesome stuff. for a legend as he is, and has been for so long to embrace and celebrate some of the more contemporary artist as he did is testament to his love and commitment to the game.

    at the root the man was a song writer and his choice of the songs he did cover is further proof of his love for music and his genius.

    rip you old bad ass hillbilly!

  • my favorite u2 song and jc makes it better

  • Johnny was dying, so besides pain in his voice, his voice was weak.

  • The quivering voice of johnny in the 4th quarter

  • i didnt listen to a lot of johnny cash's "newer" stuff but as he got older this song and "Hurt" you can hear the pain in hsi voice and i take it as something to think about. someone on here said he was a great story teller, couldn't agree more. he's a true original. the man in black.

  • pretty damn good.

  • fantastic

  • Excellent. What a pity all the malevolent & juvenile comments cannot be rubbed out.

    I do wonder at the people needing to argue like this. Just listen to the music, chill out and show some appreciation and respect for the music.

  • the best story teller in music ever......he can make a story from any lyric thats worth anything ever........sorry you dance twats ...........

  • how the hell could anyone one dislike this... they should have their hands chopped off... Awesome Cover, Johnny Cash is Music

  • Johnny Knows what love is 1 Cor.13 this is the discription of love.So if God is Love 1 john 4:8 why didn't thay want God In schools and every thing else,I wonder why this is going on in the world today.sorry if I ofended anyone and left a bad tast in your mouth, just showing the Truth.see what the Yamato spirit is then read 1 john 2:15-17. no this can't be, It's very real people.

  • johnny cash would kill bono in a death match

  • oh god Johnny please sing to us just one more time,now as ever we could use a lullaby

  • U2 version is good, but this is perfect.

  • His voice makes me feel like butter :$

  • fuck

  • "The 3 KINGS... Hank, Waylon, John." RIP.

    Willie please never leave us!!

    AH-SHA-SHA-HEY my fathers

  • Epic of Epics!!

  • whoever dislikes this is a complete idiot.

  • anyone else notice that in this picture, johnny is wearing "one loafer" and "one" combat boot?

  • @nothingmusic42

    they're the same shoe.

  • @nothingmusic42

    johnny cash is bad ass like that :)

  • this is the only good version of this song in my opinion

  • Cash > U2 in so many respects

  • Salve o velho e grande Johnny Cash !!! obrigado

  • very nice !...a beautiful (cover)...no.1

  • I thought this was a cover of Metallica *facepalm*

    Still a great song though :)

    \m/ Man in Black

  • This song regularly makes my eyes well up. I have no idea why.

  • elvis is a joke compared to this man

  • Happy birthday to the man in black

  • @lonkylaine actually he's christian, but alright...

  • @lonkylaine Devout Christian, bro (sis?). As ShlbyNicole said.

  • his music can speak.

  • :DDDDDDDD I think that this lovestory went wrong ... :DDDDDDDDDDDDDD

  • How the hell did Elvis manage to sell a single disc when there was this guy and Roy Orbison to choose from?

  • He's Scottish, not Irish. Scottish royalty, according to Wiki. And he had an attractive magnetism when young.

  • @MrHulio1985 What's it like being fucked in the head? I mean... do you wake up in the morning in a gutter swimming in your own feces, walk to the public library, get on the internet and troll youtube videos?

  • @MrHulio1985 I think it isn't about his face, it's about one of the best musicians that ever walked this planet.. But i'll guess you don't agree with me..

  • I`m the 1000 like !

    The 13 people who disliked this video do not know the meaning of love :P

  • Cash can make any song 20 times better even the best songs :D Cash rocks :D

  • hes got two different shoes on

  • @unamable2 he has an ankle brace.. 

  • 13 people have no love :(

  • i love u2 but u ppl who think this is sooooooooooooooooo much better. they are both just as good !

  • U2 should only have written songs so johnny cash could decide wether to sing them or not, when he was alive

    Johnny Cash will forever remain a legend of our time

  • johnny is the greatest AMERICAN musician of the last 50 years. he was an american original and no one like him will be seen again.

  • a great song covered by a great artist!! i grew up listening to Cash and the like through my parents, i really like this cover!!!! :0)

  • <33333333333333333333333333333­333333333333333333333333333333­3333

  • Wow!!! Fantastic. Tears fallin.

  • There's no way you can get bored hearing this song over and over....It's just awesome....no words...

  • @PepeKun19 I never get tired of it, and it is sooooo much better as the original..

  • @rafarafa87 it's just perfect...give this man a guitar close your eyes and just enjoy...

  • you know its a good song when a Marine cry's. and yes, he is right now.

  • does he have two different shoes in that pic? looks like a shoe and a boot! 

  • *__*

  • El mejor de los mejores, juro ante vosotros guiris de youtube xD, que ire algun dia a depositar una rosa en esa tumba, o en aquella estrella sobre la acera.

  • can you loop this? I've listened to it 30times in a row..

  • @SpacySpaceCadet endlessyoutube./com

  • You can hear the knowledge of life in his voice. Johnny is best.

  • @Tim301292

    exactly!

  • i like this version better personally.

  • this was the ending song in the flip sorry vidd!!!

  • no tak.. szkórwa

    too late 

  • {{{ONE}}}  ;)

  • Or this is how we make each other feel.I dont know?I am just num now.I think we are both hurt and broken.I think we are both on a road of pain.This road is so dark I cant see the light.I dont think their is a light.Nothing matters when your broken

  • @1Littleagger I hope this doesn't bad. It's not my intention. I think the reason you are feeling this way is the fact that you have Westlife in your profile. That band depresses me, genuinely. They are four self serving pricks. They are manufactured by the industry and don't write any of their songs or music, as far as I know. I think if you stop listening to them, you'll rediscover God. Check out Bob Dylan, U2 and Van Morrisson. Genuinely trying to help without offending, hopefully.

  • @silentrage7 No offence taken.Thank you I will check them out.

  • This is how my son makes me feel.But now i just feel empty.Nothing matters when your broken.

  • I wonder what Johnny Cash would have thought of all the people here feeling the need to debate whether his version is better or U2's version is better.

  • @williamlasl I don't think he would have cared. As in he would have ignored it. He played what he wanted to, regardless of genre or of what people thought.

  • Old guys hell of alot better than newbie crap

  • he weares 2 different shoes on this picture!

  • @mk198126 Johnny Cash is too awesome to wear just one type of a shoe!

  • @princedavid0 well spoken ;-)

  • U2 covered this from Johnny Cash.

  • U2 covered it from Johnny

  • @yazzamie no they didnt

  • @yazzamie no Johnny covered the U2 song on his American III:solitary man Album before he died. check it out its pretty good.

  • Lol I thought he was doing a Metallica cover before I started listening...<.<

  • @prettycolors2 Me 2

  • amazing, gonna buy this CD and all of the American CD's

  • i think both are good in their own special way

  • Terrific song!

  • He was one of the greatest!!! One Love!!!

  • his voice just got better with age!

  • Jesus He kicks bonos ass on this song !!! so much passion from the legend

  • honestly who are the 11 haters ?????

    great song and johny really ads something to the original version 

  • @MrILOVEMUSIC1980 Bono's extra accounts.

  • @skyguy15 lol m8 .must be hehe

  • FROM MEXICO.... I THINK CASH IS THE BEST ONE EVER ON EARTH, HIS VOICE WAS EVEN BETTER AS HE GOT OLDER, EVERY SINGLE SONG HE COVERED WAS BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL

  • Blown away!

  • no bad Johhny. you are the man!! we do and always will miss ya.

  • E bellissimo...!!!

  • how can people not like this song it sends chills tru me, people on here go on about bono and people like that i think he is so overrated man, johnny cash is the best of all time in my eyes, for those who dont have anything nice to say about the man then dont say anything at all!

  • JOHNNY CASH LEGEND.

  • Man I absolutely love this :O I have so much respect for Cash right now :) R.I.P

  • Mega vet, Thank's Johnny Cash... I think that U2 (Bono) is very proud.... It;s a gift

  • RIP man in black. You were one of the greatest. thank you for making music what it is today we owe you so much

  • really country, really like it!

  • isnt it funny how he doesnt even sing he just really talks and hes a smash hit and a total badass! and his voice gets better as he got older!

  • ads in videos suck.

  • @trentreker get adblock. Just copy pasta to google.

  • People think evlis is the king i disagree Johnny is the one and only in my eyes and he deserves the crown. R.I.P Johnny

  • @111jigsaw111 *Elvis

  • @111jigsaw111

    I agree

  • @111jigsaw111 Elvis once said " i may be the king but Johnny cash is the father"

  • @diogonise Except that Elvis's never said that. He never acknowledged the title of "king" and he hated to be called that way for thinking only Jesus should be referred to that way.

  • @tperesf Elvis was Jesus.

  • @diogonise Bullshit.

  • @111jigsaw111  you're Right:D

  • @111jigsaw111 Elvis was the king, (and will be once the aliens bring him back) But Johnny Cash is like an emperor. Ruling over all

  • @111jigsaw111 #1 Elvis's And Johnny Cash's music are in another completely different genre, #2 Johnny Cash =King Of Country, Elvis=King Of Rock And Roll, Think about it, before you open your fucking mouth about elvis and johnny.

  • @111jigsaw111 There's a saying that goes "If you don't have anything to say keep your mouth shut". Without sounding like a huge B-I-A-T-C-H... I think you should try it.

  • @Shadows0fWar Tell the other person that, that told me to shut my fucking mouth which i did not say anything offensive.

    Read before you type you little redneck pussy peice of shit.

  • @111jigsaw111 "He started it" What are you, 12?

    And I'm a Viking and not a redneck thank you. ;)

    ps. Acting hard core on the internet wont do you any good.

  • @Shadows0fWar Coming from you calling me a pussy peice of shit no im 14 by the way and your the one thinking there hardcore arguing to a 14 year old.

    And if your a viking then fuck off you fat peice of arse licking shit.

  • @111jigsaw111

    I'm never going to stop arguing/ annoy you because this is epically hillarious. xD

    "Oh, you pussy piece of shit. Man, don't talk to me like you know me, sitting there playin black ops cuz no one likes your sorry ass. You aint got friends and guess what? No one cares. At some point...

    YOU HAVE TO GROW UP

    ps. If you're commenting this, I'm going to take this "thread" of ours to your wall instead. No one should have to read theese sillynessess(or however that word is spelled :p)

  • @Shadows0fWar..."I'm Viking" LOL I love it!!!

  • @111jigsaw111 *nice to say* LAWL

  • I really wonder, who would ever DISLIKE THIS???

  • whoa!! Amazing cover, great voice and great guitar, wonderful

  • left alone coverd this song is u2 the original

  • this is not a cover, this is a tribute to a great song made by a great band in the voice and guitar of one of the greatest

  • dude give a song to jhonny that already exists and he totally makes the best version out of it, too bad u r gone, u r the man

  • without production effects, without the rest of the band, still it is much more than the original...just the sound of that rusty voice makes you wonder..is it the one that can carry you?

  • I was looking a little back in the comments here. I had a project about U2 for a while ago. U2 wrote this song. Because the band was close to split up. And this song kind of saved the band.

    "One" is a good song, and Johnny Cash is a good artist. Though I prefer the original version by U2.

  • This is true music how can anyone nowadays imagine words like these?

  • Im speechless ....

  • Just...

    bah, no words.

  • I love this man..
