"Stories for Boys" - January 1980

[FFM0594]

Probably their worst song. Cure-riff intro and then it gets bad until the Cure riff resounds, then it gets and remains really bad.

[11gll]

band for the future...

[LowBid86]

Saw them at the San Jose State student union ballroom (free!) in 1981. Very good, bought their first album. Not another, though--they had their shining moment,

[kocots1991]

LOL at 0:13 - Journalist John McKenna

HAS SEEN THE FUTURE.... :D :D I guess he really had..

[punkcat77]

Wow, check out Bono in his snazzy jacket! The audience at the end just look perplexed, lol

[anyroxtar]

for someone who dated Naomi Campbell Adam could dress better lol

[TAMUCLASS16]

U2 has come a far way since then. 

[Jorindevil]

Nice jacket you have there, Bono. XD

[mkbor]

"the band of the future" true!

[oliwil92]

Look its Dany Heatly :)

0.14 :)

[Zenon2006]

oh my...look at them

[gregoryy2k]

Give that man a digital delay pedal and history will be made.

[SatiricalTruth]

Adam looks like a 40yr old woman. lol

[ipods03]

don't dis adam. He is better at bass then you will be at anything. Well mabey dissing people that are better than you, but you have the advantage there because a lot more people are better than you than adam

[SatiricalTruth]

lol relax im a huge fan of these guys. I love Adam. He is a silent leader and probably the coolest guy in U2. Take it easy, it was just a joke.

[ipods03]

ok I'm sorry.

[LuckOfTheIrish10]

i love how you can still hear his accent here.

[JScott1266]

how very B-52's

[essy111]

This band are from the past and their from the future I think Me and Bono will make Mars in habitation after our disgracful sex sessions!

[panhead55]

hey cool, their actually playing and not kissing george's ass and praying all over the place. a band should play not pray.... religion is forced down are throats at every turn so just play the damn music already!!

[dunskie]

Weirder than punk at the time. I loved them then.

[WilB1972]

This early stuff, especially the guitar, reminds me of early Cure.

[ToolsnFire]

same time era

[nusrathussein]

wow the greatest rock drummer of all time preforming. indeed its an honor to watch Mr Mullen jr preform this song.

[rivotrich7]

Cool! The "Band of the 80s" at the dawn of the decade.

[Franckdatankpart2]

Bono was 19 here, his birthday is in May. The Edge was 18, his birthday is Aug. adam was 19,and Larry was 18.

[zizzou23]

bono may look cute in this video but he does look alot like daniel Radcliffe (Harry potter).

[Orsojka]

I like Bono and don't like Harry Potter, but that's true!:))

[vault714]

I love Adam's green pull over!

[soso10957]

BONO the more beautiful....when he was young!!!

I love him and his band

[almadora]

i don't blame eno. i like everything they did except all the crap on Joshua Tree. boring.

[mrthexave]

Ah, Adam Clayton. A god in 78, a god today. Bring back the lime baby...

[kathleenirish]

Up the Dubs!

[sitjar]

anyone notice the average age of the audience in the second half of that?

[hosdurga]

Dudes & dudesses...this is song is very technically hard to play on the drum set.

Showcases why Mullen Jr is the greatest rock drummer of all time.

[guitarguy5]

don't isult u2 you fucking ass bitch asshole motherfucking fucker why do't you fuck your mom bitch fuck you dammit!!@!

[Mick342]

Chillllll.

[u2lover10]

i love it

muy bueno franz ferdinand se copio a su estilo xD

salu2

[u2fan2001]

Awwwwesome!!!! They make me happy!!!! U2 makes life worth living :)

[AgentRusco]

You have got some great old stuff!

[schady1]

i saw the in '78 in mpls minn for $5 cover in a basically empty bar, First Avenue. great then, unbelievable. too bad they got so political w fame and lost something, musically.

[jpjames1]

Bono is someone thats been born with amazing self confidence. He kinda cheeky he that confident

[veggiewendy]

Boy is a great album! Love this song!

[BonosAngel]

I LOVE BONO!!

[kd4adv]

Looks like Harry Potter without glasses and Michael J. Fox put together.

[arnelg67]

U2 will always be the best band ever!! Wished they would play these classics live again doubt that but I still love them!!!

[MargusKiistheCritic]

Musically into earlier Police and visually Bono wants to be irish Ian Curtis with positive message.

[rivotrich7]

Wow, they are all UNDER 20 YRS old in this one!

[Stefany2121]

I love U2, especially this video, this song is great ¡

[keilan303]

Great version!

[petrusaloisius]

Unbelievable, Im a fan especially in the beginning of their career when I myself was still young and U2 made honest new music with a message. Still when I see them nowadays i remember their great songs from the past and see some good song passing by. Not with that great sound as then but still. This video is what im talking about. One of the greatest songs ever

[sircoolcat]

Lol, The Edge it the type of guy you can't imagine looking young, even when he was. What's up with Adam's hair? Love the way U2 put stories for boys into Vertigo on live versions. Greatest band ever!

[banjaxed08]

Look at how young they were! It's so weird seeing them that young.. They sounded great even then! I love U2, and Bono has always been hot.

[tacosontheceiling]

They do not sound like Bon Jovi..I like Bon Jovi allright but...no...

[Recushio]

The best u2 song by a long shot its a pity they sold out and progressivly started sounding like bon jovi since

[Poseidon500]

Man, not Bon jovi! Brian Eno ruined thier music in 1984. Edge has been milking the same Eno-esque chord ever since.

[tacosontheceiling]

Isn't he ADORABLE?! When he smiles when he sings...*melt*

[Kittichan]

oh my god.... bono looks so cute!!!!! If he was at that age today i would fall in love with him.

[Jesuskrishna]

Eighties, Nineties and then some.

[Acrylick]

this song gets me so excited!!!!

[tacosontheceiling]

I know!! He pulled his ear- he's so cute.

[joidivision]

OMHG- just the look on Bono's face- an excited kid!

[baz69]

I dressed like that in 1980 too !

[samzzz]

best band ever



[sounomade]

Some day Adam had movement!
