[shawnuseless]

most americans are racists.

[dillon1278]

what? lol, dumbshits on youtube.

[AntieFlag]

Hi5 dude, thats so friken true haah (im Californian, I'm not Racist though, least i try not to be, everyone is a little discriminative )

[fbar25]

Most Americans have guns.

[dillon1278]

U2 is irish, dipfuck.

[wyioughta]

hes a neo nazi dillon whatd you expect, he comparing a minority faction with a country. Or he actually thinks his views are shared by all Americans

[pauljohngerorgringo]

bloody idiot u2 is irish

[Sunhotty]

your a fucking dipshit the nazis killed black jewish and any diffrent person dueshbag

[chil1dog]

U2 are Irish.

You being a nazi has nothing to do with being American, it just makes you a facist.

[MyAirsofter]

i thought u2 was alternative, or i guess that was when they first started.

[kenney209]

k i love this song i am Irish from county killkenney and this is how the IRA got started

[aabove]

Love the strings on this track.

[tradewinds77]

Black folks will not be really free until we have our own "Bloody Sunday" here in the U.S.! After Obama, all hell will break lose! H-

[krisier2]

lol!

[suave1218]

HAHAHAHAHAH

[doctorslernon]

amen!

[MrWardozer]

First of all, I am an Irish American, born here, so I cannot begin to feel the pain of my kinsmen in Ireland. Second of all, as long as U2 is around, they will speak out for those who do not have a voice. God Bless the Irish and U2. To hell with Brittan

[blythewoodbaseball]

awesome song......just awesome. in my opinion u2 is and will always be one of the best rock bands to ever face this earth.

[Chi26trojans]

So, why exactly is bono a "douche"?

[BluSecDeputy]

U2 seems to ruin it but the message DOES count, Tdemon's comment is right, the message of the song should be respected. So stop fucking being idiots and just realize the message. Even if U2 sucks.

[dillon1278]

U2= Amazing

[CatishDuck76]

What the hell are you trying to say

[aabove]

Not really feeling the strings. It's great that I can share this with you all.

[TheMacadoodle]

Its a time for peace in Northern Ireland... those who shout loud are just drowning voices in a sea of optimism.

[Altrockpwner123]

I feel like the killers were really influenced by this

[SeamieMcSeamie]

Why is every1 being such bollixs it is a song about peace between britain and the northern irish nationlists at the time. Not ice cream, not bombings not even bloody sunday itself, just about peace! But FUCK PEACE Tiocfaidh ar la Britain will burn:)

[Tdemon]

People need to stop bringing their politics into the comments on this video. It's a song about how much people suffered during a terrible time. It's not about who's right or wrong. It's about the people who are right and wrong coming together to try and heal the wounds of war. At the end of the day, people died. You arguing isn't going to bring those people back. Nor is it going make it so the event never happened. Whether you like U2 or not, doesn't matter. The message should be respected.

[swaggxgoxhard]

i like paramore version way better but i still like U2

[handofsutekh]

Check out "lullaby" or "other voices" The Cure if you like this sort of stuff.

[bream200]

god save ur queen

[Kleczkov]

Irish Republican Army!!!! FUCKING ENGLAND!! FREE IRELAND!!!

[SunnySuperPuppy]

SHUT UP YE YAPPING PENIS POPS

[Juuwlya]

So Good :)

[TheRallllee]

på 1:20 låter det som dom säger små negrar i sanden xD

[fry7471]

sorta starting to sound lol Franz Ferland

lol spell check

[bigmattman2005]

mtthmsn, you're forgetting that Bono wrote the song when he asked for the specialty dessert at some restaurant. When they brought out the icecream, he said "Bloody hell, they brought me a bloody sundae!" It may have been a strawberry sundae, but he was pissed they served him an f-n sundae.

[MonkeyDoodleInc]

One of U2's most overtly political songs, its lyrics describe the horror felt by an observer of The Troubles in Northern Ireland, mainly focusing on the Bloody Sunday incident in Derry where British troops shot and killed civil rights marchers.

I got this from wikipedia u think ure funny dont u

[thepwningfryingpan]

anyways... ignoring the UK/ America arguments... good song

[mtthmsn]

it's not even about politics or war. this song was written about a freaking strawberry icecream sunday. look it up.

[littleritchie]

en . wikipedia . org / wiki/Sunday_Bloody_Sunday_%28s­ong%29

i looked it up, and i see nothing about ice cream

[CloudyandRain]

dumb.

[TheStemi4ever]

the song?

[CloudyandRain]

no. the song is awesom. It is someone's lame comment about this song.

It isn't ice cream.

[TheStemi4ever]

LOL

someone thought this song was about ice cream? thats hilarious

if anything its far from being about ice cream

[xshaz13babex]

will u all shutup honestly yes the british did open fire on the irish however when we needed the americans help in the world wars they didnt help until the war draged them in soo ur both right .....THE END

[MrTheAndersson]

What year did they make this song?

[XxD3athNotexX]

i love u2

[harrycarry20]

This song makes me think of the Punisher every time!

[pimpyosis]

you know what all them butter toothed brits can suck a dick because if it wasnt for th U.S.A everyone would be speaking german twice over bitches we bailed britain out 2 times will prolly be 3 before long

[fitandfruity]

wrong, we fought the World Wars, America tired to stay out until the fight was taken to them. When your number one allies think you're a bunch of c**** it showes how much your ignorance is despised.

[pimpyosis]

your wrong again we have the greatest country ever and bailed your asses out in ww1 and ww2 even though we were dragged in if it wasnt for us you would be a german right now and america wasnt in the I.R.A dipshit so go get a dentist and go to hell and about you bringing up the twin towers maybe the buildings of your precious can do no wrong britain should be destroyed for trying to control whats not theirs maybe you should help your goverment before you criticize ours asshole

[littleritchie]

your one of those people who thinks their better than everyone else, am i right?.. just because your from england, tried to take over Ireland, we beat ye and we'll do it again if ye try to take over... it "showes" what ye'r like, start something but cant finish, kill thousands of Irish but as soon as an english gets fired at ye get upset

[SunnySuperPuppy]

SHUT UP YOU STUPIDS.

This song song is about the time the BRITISH opened fire on innocent irish civilians when the irish had done nothing and the irish were starving from a potato famine.

TAKE THAT YOU STUPID BRIT.

WE AMERICANS DIDNT TAKE SHIT FROM YOU 200 YEARS AGO, WE WON'T DO IT NOW.

[fitandfruity]

It is from a protest on an estate dipshit. The people were not starving. The IRA were no better than the Muslim terrorists that bombed the World Trade Towers. "What goes around - comes around". Good fun being bombed isn't it.

[PX1180]

you only have 200 years history.... at least get it right. The Irish potato famine was a hundred years before Bloody Sunday! This was Irish war of Independence, and it's still ongoing. So, before you call us stupid... get it right.

[007sOf]

Hello!! I'm a greek girl and I love this super,excellent song..is it true that the music is based on an irish military march?

[fitandfruity]

IRA bloody IRA.....

[DavidN2001]

Ha ha

[DomLivesInaVan]

if you like punk or heavy music, evergreen terrace do a good version of this

[fitandfruity]

U2 are IRA supporting scum. The IRA and their supporters are lucky that they were dealing with the professional British Army, if they acted like the American Military there would be something to make a song about, whole estates would have been turned to dust.

[ReggieReturns05]

You're an idiot. If you did any research at all, you'd see that U2 hates the violence, and doesn't support either the IRA or the Army. U2 hates violence of all forms, and this song is due to the killings during a PEACEFUL protest.

[fitandfruity]

They have to say that or they'd lose record sales.

[Monsgoose]

Then again, the American Military is one of the most highly trained in the world...

I can't say the same about the British Army...

[mouse743]

Wrong, the British army is right up there in the top 5. Proof can be provided upon request.

[fitandfruity]

The American Army are highly trained but they are mostly red-necks and monkeys who are managed by nutters. They slaughter kids as the IRA did. Bunch of gung-ho knobheads that Obama is now trying to reel in.

[gusbus282828]

you're pretty damn close to the truth

[Monsgoose]

Wow, I guess that you really have no idea what goes on in the American Military... Sure, there are a few crazos, but I bet the Brits have them to. I'm a Marine, and every man I served with was honorable, trustworthy, kind, and fully literate.

And England would probably be dust if not for the US army in WW2.

[fitandfruity]

Typical ignorent Yank. That's why the whole world hates American dums asses. They came into WW2 years after it started. We had many countries on our side but you probably wouldn't even know that. If you are a Marine you are saying things that are so highly ignorent that it proves what I said.

[AAAAApenguin]

Your a retarded fruit (according to your username).

[Monsgoose]

Yes, and in 5 months America got farther than England did in 2 years.

Not bad for a country coming out of an economic depression, and fighting 2 simultaneous wars...

Oh, and by the way Fruity, I was deployed in the Middle East for 4 years, 3 months, 18 days. I know a little about what's happening there. I also have 1 Bachelor's and 2 Master's Degrees, so I'm not really an "Ignorant Yank."

[DavidN2001]

I have an idea with what goes on with "our" military.. don't try to be smart. I am one of those "educated" yanks btw. This is why the "world" hates those who know better- because of those who don't. Just stick with who wins, because neither of you will.

[fitandfruity]

I am English and live and work in the Middle East. The Yanks have got no idea what they have got into here, they are really hated by everyone. Bush is a maniac and Blair if a total dickhead. You think you know better but are totally ignorent - that is the problem with Americans.

[faab007]

And the other way around for the US..

[DavidN2001]

Wrong answer, Mr. social democrat?

[willchmbt]

Wrong way round mate. You have to be able to read and write to get into the British Army.

[collyhogan]

how are the IRA scum they are fighting for freedom the british are murdering scum bags

[CBR133T]

what other bands sound like this?

i like the killers too.

they kindof sound the same.

in their notes. u knwo what i mean?

same singing style

[DavinMelee]

greatest U2 song ever in my opinion

[illyrian4life]

great song

[AnimaniacPro]

I like this version too,

but for some reason I'm taken with paramore's ver.

just my opinion, I don't mean paramores better than u2 ...

[PANICitsMICHELLE]

I agree.

[shinelikesharkteeth]

Great song.

Paramore is great in its own way, but their cover simply cannot compare.

[BeatdownBarbecue]

I prefer the version of Paramore, but I also like this one.

[Trivialnights]

Saul Williams cover of this song is better.

[NewCasseyD]

cooli^^

[HermesDo]

probably one of the best songs ever... only my opinion. i dont listen to u2. its only about the meaning....

[judragonlurs]

k this is one of the best songs of all time and if you think it sux then you have no idea wat ur talking about and you have no taste if you just like crap not gonna name names paramore like that then you are a loser

[kakapomax]

wtf

you should go and die

[paramoreandme]

Are people not intitled to their on opinion's anymore.

they have to go along with the rest of the crowd.

[Irishsoldier1916]

yes but im sure you have commented on this video like 6 different times saying the same thing. we know you opinion by now so just stop

[hellomarli]

I for one actually like Paramore's version better

[kakapomax]

idiot

[foodman28]

who the heck is paramore. idk but they probably are crap compared to u2

[yipyipR]

emo

[gagemoyes]

how the fuck is this emo, you, my friend.. are an idiot.

[xstepchildx]

This sounds way better by paramore sorry to tell you Haters out there, who really cares if U2 changed the world, just tryin to listen to some good music, and bono is gay. bahhhhhhh

[nairdap]

hey stepchild here's a newsflash: You're gay, paramore is lame *so is twilight you faggot queer* and I OWN the world. So get on your knees and start suckin' it, bitch!

[PropanePenny]

paramore suck :P

[InnerDemons101]

fuck yes.. finally someone who hasnt dropped to the retarded bands of today.. fuck paramore

[PropanePenny]

oh no. i have dropped to the retarded bands of today (:

just not paramore (:

[Femicide09]

Sorry to tell you but Paramores version is stupid and generic. They turned a great song into something you hear on MTV every day. BTW, without this, they wouldn't have the song to cover in the first place. But yeah, Bonos gay.

[littlestchristian13]

i like it better by Pillar. but this one is okay too.

[JaundiceJaun]

This is my favorite U2 song - it also happens to be the only U2 song I like lol, so I guess it works out.

[JessicaIsWhack]

Oh man,

Love this song.

Writing a paper on the I.R.A atm.

Peace and Love.

[nonamesleft69]

Paramore and U2 ain't even in the same class, You can't compare them. U2 has been for quite some time in the music business and they have made an impact on the whole world, they are legends, icons.You have to respect them even if you think their music is crap. Paramore has ALOT to do before you can even compare them with U2.

[soonerborn150]

And Paramore probably won't get to the level that U2 is on!

[TicTacJoe134]

And the battle's just begun

There's many lost, but tell me who has won

The trench is dug within our hearts

And mothers, children, brothers, sisters

Torn apart

:'(

[JnLmn12]

u2 is awesome

[Starlightlovethesong]

wash your hands people disinfect door handles

[Oracle13]

PARAMORE???! Who the FUCK compared U2 to Paramore? X-( Fucking idiots...

[akth12]

haha who gave you that information?

[Starlightlovethesong]

lyrics listen to the lyrics

[mcmotto12]

i prefer bush singing this xD

[Vanillafuxx]

What a tragical background this song has.

[hanspeterssack]

Tribute to Victims of the Bloody Sunday

R.I.P. from germany

[RAMSTERLORD]

the bush parody is much better than the original

[panthergwyn2010]

holy shit, that sucks bono needs to cool his jets

[streetsesh80]

the drums are great

[sheep945]

Damn right. Absolutely stunning

[13REEZ]

U2 wins any day against Paramore!!!! U2 will live!

[jordanngirl]

wow. okay i like paramore but seriously U2 is so much of a better band because their songs are timeless and loved by so many

[akth12]

you can't even compare them to paramore

I just saw them in concert and they were beyond amazing, bono's edgy voice is legendary

[wilgosh5]

U2 is an amazing band, there music makes lots of sence and is soothing.

[cherrycherrybomboom8]

i love u2!

they went to my school!

this is there best like ever, the lyrics are so moving

[sugarhollowdaddy]

I saw U2 sing this song two days ago. Yes it's about an event that took place almost 40 years ago, but it is really about the senseless killing of innocent people that has occurred since man came to this Earth. When he says "how long must I sing this song," he is really saying, "We will always sing this song, because we haven't figured out how to live in peace." From Afghanistan to Ireland, Sri Lanka, Compton, and Hartford--blood continues to flow. Yet we waste time critiquing the music.

[pythag123]

1887-1913-1920-1972 There have been 4 bloody Sundays in Ireland.

[RockerQueen1]

And don't forget to mention Palestine :)

I hate wars -.-

People lose they're lives for what? It's just so god-damn stupid!

[zoe23323]

no offence, but i like paramores version better

[threepeice]

I can't believe these douches today, I can't close my eyes and make them go away.

[scoresse]

The Bogside massacre in Derry, Northern, Ireland. January 30, 1972

[dboyer15]

This was not like the terrorists' attack on the United States on September 11, 2001. This was like the Boston Massacre.

[beatcat22]

When they were part of the New Wave, way back before U2 started to SUCK

[beggo321]

British government = Murderers

[cmgzy1]

what are you on about alton753 youre probably a fucking terrorist you idiot...

[Alton753]

No not really. I only know what the definition is. An older brother who is an asshole can be called a terrorist. The Al Queda is just very radical, they actually kill people.

[The10thKenpachi]

I know this song very well. But I heard that the paramores (I havent even heard of the paramores) covered it. I checked it out. I hated every minute of it. Anyone who thinks that the paramores are better either your biased to the extreme or you dont have taste in music. Also they are not Irish. Only the irish have the right to sing this song.

[nonobibinono]

JUST : thank you

[dunch34]

Facepalm. Stop being such a close-minded moron. Because somebody likes music you don't like makes them one with poor taste? You fool. Since when did you have to be a certain nationality to sing a song, which is not bound by nationality? My God, it's close-mindedness like this that makes me despise half the people that are hardcore fans.

[SyGmarius]

sau cooooles lied

[luongocrosby187]

i like this song and u2 but i hate bono -_-

[deadspirit37]

y bono

[luongocrosby187]

i think hes an ass

[idroppedmyspoon]

Dont think of the people, think of the music.

[randomzchild]

bono wrote this song oyu bitch

[luongocrosby187]

im allowed to dislike whoever i want.

But this song still kicks major ass

[montecarlosssc]

lol just because he doesn't like bono as a person doesn't mean he can't like his music. i agree with you crosby

[visnet1]

such a beatiful song!

[luizctobias]

Demai, demais, demais.

[snwman91]

i think the IRA should have kept fighting for freedom, because 26 + 6 equals one

[Carina08x]

this song is incredible..i loooove U2!!

[KingdomAtWar]

stop getting into arguments about government ppl!!! plz! listen to the music and talk about that instead, thats why the video is up here!!!

[Kazuma9]

But that is what the music is about. The injustice of the slaughter of harmless Irish protesters, with no weapons, by British troops all because the British claimed them a threat.

[Skyifictionable]

They are talking about the song. Listen to it.

[Kazuma9]

Knowing the history behind this song, you see more of the message and passion in it. Can we really blame the IRA and the Irish people for wanting freedom?

[gloomyoutlook]

I hate what the word terrorism now implies. Suddenly who we'd previously call freedom fighters are being lumped together with ideological maniacs and religious fanatics. Any government can brand insurgent groups and guerilla forces within its territory "terrorists", and ensure international support against them. It seems only "legitimate" governments can wage war. Take the Uighurs, 20 years ago they'd be armed by the US to fight Communism, today they're separatists causing instability.

[blahblahhi]

thats what happens when u get rid of the USSR to blame everything on

[psistratus]

Take Al Qaeda, it's leaders for 20 years (the mujaheddin) were armed by the US....Do you suppose that it might be that having groups like that about is an aid to state power? Reflect on this song.

[hpotter35744]

The song is about the massacre of Irish civilians in a civle rights march by british paratroopers

[mrsgoatlady77]

just like the jews
