  • and who says the edge can't solo??

  • I miss the 90's

  • Best U2 B-side ever?

  • From the fertile womb of the Lady with the Spinning Head was begat Ultraviolet and The Fly.

  • "Achtung Baby" is one of the greatest albums ever made - U2's masterpiece; and this B-Side is as great as some of the songs off the album.

  • i know that lady.... 

  • @EnjoyTheSurface she is living under me, she´s quite a mess....

  • best U2 single

  • good enough to be on Achtung Baby! and that is saying something

  • Reminds me of being a kid in the summer in my Dads car

  • You can Download this four-song single as an EP album on both AmazonMP3 and iTunes for $3.61. They also have a few others that have 3 b-sides with the single that were originally CD singles.

  • The photo is quite interesting. After some research I found out it was what I thought it was. It's called "Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump" about an hour away from where I live.

  • Love the song. Can't find it on I tunes. Any Ideas?

  • You can hear the influence this song had on the Fly, Until The End of The World and Ultraviolet.. I still think it shoulda opened the album^^

  • I cannot even find this song on iTunes, my singles are all boxed in in another country.

  • it´s the basis of the whole album, every other song rest on this one and no ona can understand why it was "left behind". It´s the best explanation of u2 evolution from the joshua ... and rattle and hum to the new sound of the 90´s

  • the riff guitar is a mix of until the end of the world and ultraviolet

    great!!

  • reminds me of....cars :s

  • I wish itunes would get their head out of their ass and put this song on the Canadian version :(

  • "Trip Through Your Wires", poor by U2 standards in my opinion and easily the weakest track on the Joshua Tree, yet it makes the A-side list while this masterpiece was left to gather dust on some dark long forgotten B-side shelf as the flip side to 'One'?

    Makes no sense whatsoever.

    I'm B-side my shelf with anger!

    Mwah ha ha!

    :)

  • The dance remix is great too

  • I have all the B sides!!!! This is my favorite!

  • it's a bass line of Fly and chorus { La la la ..} is a guitar from UV and solo at the end is from Fly again. of course, this song was made before these two songs :)

  • it should be called 'Achtung Baby'.

  • has U2 ever played this song live?

    if not, it's long overdue for a playing.

  • @johnson1095 This song was an early demo for Achtung Baby and, after deciding it wasn't good enough or complete, they took different components of it and made three other songs out of it: Ultraviolet, The Fly, and Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses. Hence, it has never been played at one of their concerts and never will be.

  • @rmoothart apparently, its been rehersed recently.

  • @johnson1095 No... it would be cool if they did

  • ultraviolet and the fly made love and this is the result =)

  • Ultraviolet's guitar + The Fly's bass= WIN

  • Geat Great Song!!!!!!

  • ultraviolet

  • Feraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

  • a legjobb B side-os daaaaaaaaaaaaaal!!

  • Great song quite amazing to think it spawned 2 songs the fly and ultra violet

  • how did u get a thumbsdown? i agree all 3 songs rock

  • Come to think of it, it sounds like the title track from No Line on the Horizon.

  • one of their best "unknown songs", and by far!!! ;)

  • I could have stood some better visuals, but the song is so good that I forgive you. :)

  • 2:24 - 2:45

    That may be U2's best solo ever, so full of power and originality.

  • i agree, but i really love the end of song, it's so... strong!

  • @JoRu94 So true, but just too ephemeral.... he could have stayed up there for another 20 to 30 seconds at least...

  • great song the fly spin off....

  • I think the lady with the spinning head is a roulette. that had to be the inspiation

  • király!

  • Indeed^^

  • Thanks for posting this!!! I've been dying to know the B-Side version compared to the Remix. Both are f'n incredible!! Greatest Rock band ever!

  • My pleasure^^

  • same here. i didn't care for the remix. but htis is awesome!

  • this is one of the best u2 songs ever. the fly was great and although this is made by recycling the music from the fly, i think this is better.

  • is the besttttttttttttttttttttttttttt­!!!!!!!!!!

    i love this song.......make me fell freeeeee.....

    open your arms and listen this song:)

  • Feel free, that's exactly the feeling!!!

  • briliant!!! one of my best fomr u2!

  • One of the best b-sides ever!Viva la Lady With The Spinning Head!

  • there's not much difference between this and the remix on the b-sides album, but they both are AWESOME!!!

  • Since you used a cool U2 song for your first video, I have no choice but to classify you as Cool.

  • EVERY Achtung Baby song has a bit of Lady With The Spinning Head in it. This is the basic of the whole album.

  • @YuriVox -i still think this is different enough to have been on the auctung album-it sounds different to every song to me....thanks for posting lyrics many of them were hard to decipher

  • @YuriVox I guess thats why I love this song and that entire album! But then again, everything u2 has done.. i have loved

  • SHOULD HAVE MADE AUCTUNG BABY

  • Maybe the best U2 B-Side

  • U2, not only the best ever, but, certainly the best B Side band of all-time...I mean, come on, you just don't get a better jam than this! 2009, the year of U2, enjoy...

  • Let's get on our boots ;)

  • Great for B-Side

  • Amazing song, you can tell that Lady With The Spinning Head turned into The Fly.

    This song doesn't get enough recognition.

  • and it should stay that way!!! wooo!!!!

  • The Fly? I would rather say that it turned into Ultra Violet :P Listen to the main riff :P

  • probably ultraviolet and the fly were created out of this song, i definitely hear a bit of the fly solo around in the song.

  • actually you're both right, the band said that this song is sort of a mix of Zoo Station, The Fly and Ultraviolet

  • Theres even some until the end of the world in there

  • If you listen to bass line and basic chord sequence, not to mention the guitar solo, this is definitely an embryonic version of "The Fly".

  • I think the Fly is in there. However, this songs shares most of it's riff and sound with "Ultra Violet".

  • @kylehudson00 your right.. and there is a little Ultraviolet light in there! on the bit of LA La LA LA .. La lal a.. well u know.. i love this song !

  • @kylehudson00 Listening again, the chorus is totally "Ultraviolet"! Can't believe I didn't pick up on it b4.

  • heck, this song is achtung baby condensed into one awesome tune.

  • One of their best songs ever

  • Great song

  • Cool... thanks for posting the lyrics. I could never decipher the couplet: "Mean old man took away my car, those credit guys they got the power." That alone made this worth seeing. Plus, I never realized it was about gambling, either. But it makes perfect sense, especially with those two lines. Thanks again...

  • Wow, wow, wow, tounge back in mouth..and keep it there. i wont hear anyone demeaning U2, or fouling up a u2 fans video..chill man!

  • @IrishBloodinveins u2 sucks :)

  • @motleycrue4u go to hell

  • @superharith Whats your problem? lol

    learn to controle your anger

  • Thanks for all the nice comments!

  • Thanks for posting the original song. The Achtung Baby era spawned so much great rock and roll. Amazing!

  • cool.... don't think i'd heard this one before. well done!!

  • I always like this version from the One Single.

    Better that the extended dance mix from the best of: 1990-2000

    Great first job GO ON!!!!

  • Yes, it is a great song! Good choice!

  • Lovely Video, and i've never heard this song until today, so thank you!

  • Dude, if i need to get glasses, you need to get a life..

  • Think whatever you like but this doesn't change the thing that you are a retard

  • So you're gay to bastard

    But Bono said Don't let the bastards grind you down !

    So Bye

  • hahahaahah ur such a u2 nerd Oo :)
