Wow, I was never a real fan of the Seconds song, as it sounded on the album..but this live rendition was great! I wish U2 produced more songs where both the Edge and Bono sang together like this.
@zedrein18 name a frontman who isnt ridiculous. im sorry your jealous that he did it first and did it better. but seriously....all ALL frontmen are ridiculous. self centered. egotistical, ridiculous men. thats the point. if they werent ridiculous they would be the bass player...probably much like yourself.
@milltown420 whoa whoa whoa, I'm on your side but don't go dissing bass players! There are quite a few ridiculous bass players out there! Adam Clayton isn't that layed back, he's a goof! And Michael Anthony from VH is a total nut! The craziest I personally think of them all is The Flea!! He's the most craziest badass motha' out there! That's why we love'em all :) The music's good, the people are entertaining and great, let's all just chill and enjoy the tuneage
@vanhalendreams as someone who's sister named my nephew 'Halen' after Van Halen....i must say i got your comment and agree with you wholeheartedly sir!!! (or maam....). i totally and completely agree with you...my reply was a knee jerk reaction to a total jerk reaction. you understand :) best to you.
@milltown420 Yes I am a guy hahaha and I'm glad you're someone who can be on the same level as others, it makes conversations go a lot more smoothly. No worries at all, I appreciate cool people like yourself, and the uncertainty on your sir or maam, either way, you have class my friend! And that is the best thing I have ever heard!! I'm debating now on one day to have my chile named Halen :D That kicks ass!
@zedrein18 stupid boy...are you stupid my friend,,,bono iis a beautifull man...never talk about bono,,its a good on heart...we love u2 ever....u2 portugal
Thank god for you tube and great songs like this !! On my travels i need to hear sanity on my ears , and to see n hear u2 and sing along in some internet cafe somewhere ...well say no more !!! 80's GREAT !!!
You know that any given photo of a modern concert, there are at least six of your former girlfriends. Girls are just smarter that way. (katalina translates) See?
One word "amazing" I wonder if they really had any idea of the effects there music has today. Bono is one of the worlds best writers and there music will long out live them, it's a privillage to see this band. Hopefully 360 will come to oz
in an apartment on time square, you can assemble them anywhere, hell to ransom , a hell to pay, a revolution everyday. USSR, DDR, London, New York, Peking,... is the puppets, 'n 's the puppets who pull the strings YYA. uoooooooooooooooooooo- oooooooo-oooooo ooo oo..-uooooooo-oooooooo-oooo-o-o--o-o-say goodbye, SAY GOODBYE, say goodbye, SAY GOODBYE, SsAaYy GgOoOoDdBbYyEe............
Im sorry but U2 can't escape themselves, and they have become the massive 100 million dollar corporation at which they used to thumb their noses. They won't write protest songs about G7 summits, WTO, or globalization would they? Jumbled spanglish: uno (1), dos(2) tres (3), catorce (14)? What the F? Sending there finances out of Ireland to avoid taxation? You can't sing that crap away. I like this song though.
you do make some good points but they were almost broke when they made did this gig, i think they don't wanna go broke again.The ipod ad was gratis.They have a political lobbyist in Bono with access to governments worldwide. whoever said songs had to make sense just sing dude
I wish Edge would sing lead more-to date, his only lead vocals are this, Van Diemens Land, and The Fly...am I right?I know he occasionally takes the lead on Sunday Bloody Sunday...well, I have a import CD single and he does it and unplugged live in Kosovo.
I think he only sings lead on "The Fly" when it's performed live because the chorus requires two voices. I'm pretty sure he sings the bridge on Miracle Drug, which is also notable for being one of only two songs to feature Larry Mullen's vocals.
do they play this song live? im going to see them when they come around again and that would just make the show for me, as this is one of my favorite U2 songs
i remember my bestfriend before how died of malaria. we really loved this song so much. we always sing this song. it takes a second to say goodbye. goodbye my friend.
What a bunch of real men , man oh man I am glad I did not know them when they were at this stage cause I would have been age 14 and I would have told them to make me a woman now! Man these guys are so good looking! I would have been all over Bono big time, chase him down and roll all around uuuuhhhh huuuuu!
ok this guy comes walking up saying hi i said hi but i noticed he had a girlfriend and she said oh who is you re new friend i said we just met and he said yeah like i have been youre friend all youre life i said wait come here i looked at him i said logan he said yeah i go omg i haven't seen you in years go to my profile to see more
Doesn't anyone realize this is U2's protest song against nuclear weapons? @ 1:26 he's pretending to be a puppet. The Edge sings in most songs, and he's not singing lead, he's singing chorus like usual. Go to school kiddies.
Yeah, I have to plead ignorance on this one--I didn't know Edge was so prominent vocally. I just found out in a book (1001 Albums You Must Hear...) But it appears the book is inaccurate--written in 2005, it states that this is one of only TWO ever recorded with Edge on lead. Ahem, Van Diemen's Land AND Numb? I count three.
Don't forget he also sings Van Diemens Land from Rattle and Hum and on a CD single(forgot which)he sings Sunday Bloody Sunday live from Kosovo('97, I think), just him and his guitar.
That's what I love about those two. .I love getting surprised to see which sings what part. And it also works when they do a song acoustically too. Their voices blend so well.
As well as remastered version of the 1st 3 U2 albums. July21 is the release date(for now). Can't wait. I got the remastered version of Joshua Tree released last year. Hopefully these will be up to the same standards. I hope a remastered version of Unforgettable Fire will follow
