Is that 9/11 footage real? I've never scene a shot like that before of it. Or is that a visual effect edited in? It's a rather powerful, but also haunting shot.
@floriangeyer72 Not even delving into the politics of 9/11... however it happened/whoever did it, it certainly defined our generation. You could ask anyone who was alive when it happened, and I'm sure they could tell you exactly where they were when the world stopped that day.
And, dare I say the same for Princess Diana...
It's sad when it takes something as massive as 9/11 to bring a nation as big as the US together under one flag, sadder to use something like that as a reason for war...
3:08 my eyes pop back into the inside of my head. Almost what you'd see when a person is possessed. I get chills up and down my spine for every second of this song. Wow, U2 is legendary, what a friggin' song, what a friggin' band.
A considerable number of American presidents were from Irish American ancestry.....11 of them from Ulster heritage .............eg, Richard Nixon, Woodrow wilson,Theodore Roosevelt, William mckinley,Andrew Johnson,James Buchanan....etc
it's funny.. i JUST saw Taxi Driver for the first time yesterday. lol. It seems to happen a lot you know, where you learn about something just before it somehow becomes relevant, so you can understand a reference or something?
I know there are a few versions of this song. Which is the 'official version' - the one from the "Gangs of New York" film...or the song on U2's Best of 1990-2000 album?
bahahahahaahaha, Bono would punch you in the mouth if he heard this. Also if you're so damn proud of our ethnic group at least spell it right in your username you selfish twat.

This is honestly one of the most incredible songs i've ever heard. <3 U2.

@Darkiver "Inish" is a Gaelic word for Irish. Haven't you ever heard of Inishfree? These are Islands off the coast of Ireland. At least learn more about Irish vocab before you dictate to me what user name I should have.
