U2 and R.E.M - One

[glogmulch34]

Adam Clayton looks like a right posing twat, isn't he just so cool with that cigarette in his mouth?

[MrSimone120]

Ho visto entrambi le band in concerto.

Posso affermare con assoluta convinzione che,i REM,dal vivo sono migliori .

Per questo motivo li ho rivisti altre 5 volte in concerto.

La voce di Stipe dal vivo è molto meglio che ascoltata su cd.

La sua voce è eccezionale.

[thegr8tgazoo]

Bono knows that Stipe made this song better. When asked why he wasn't on stage, he responded by saying: " Yes, I did write this song, but, I wrote it for someone with a great voice like his" I have seen U2 perform since the 80's, and never heard such a great, well deserved compliment. Pretty cool, no?

[TheLasal]

Here comes the drums!



[FERSORIA1]

I love Michael Stipe!

[nanpetersen]

You've got to check out the Mary J Blige version.

[fernandohqm]

Fantastico / barbaro/ linda interpretacao/ magnific/ beautiful song.

Save REM and U2

[cartagenero2008]

Fantastic

[Janygel]

He.s not Bill Gates, he.s Harry Potter

[Mootinie1]

Michael Stipe, what a singer.

[edarrd]

is there any better video, or just audio record?

[28equinox]

Yeh Mr. Stipe nailed this. That voice! wow!

[Nghaka123]

WOW !!! BILL GATES BILL GATES CAN PLAY GITAR WOW WOW

[bapluda]

@Nghaka123 It's the promotion video for the new operating system: Windows U2

[randjstone]

Brilliant!!!

[aekoriginale21]

Adam you are the best..

[Thinribs]

hope everything is working out well for you guys i still miss you REM

[Thinribs]

how beautiful to come across this gem. thanks so much for posting this x

[jnewholm1968]

REM is the only band that truely fit in my ears.......I wish them all the best.....!!!!

[YellowMangerCalling]

Mike Mills is amazing; a multiinstrumentalist

[rickchile]

so shy :) haha

[haddingtonbb41]

Two great great bands comming together. Personally I much prefer the voice of Stipe, but bono isn't still good. Brilliant to see two world class acts come together and produce such a lifting performance.

[Cementeraren]

can't belive how hard that bass i chilling!

[CountessClassicRock]

It's not a competition. It's half of two band performing a classic song loved by all. Thanks, guys. This is awesome. Not "better than" not "worse than". Really wonderful.

[aggmester69]

God bless R.E.M.

God bless U2

[sajo1331]

It!s very good! In Hungarian languages: Kurrva jó!

[interoogii]

good song

[patriciorobayo]

Shows how much of Adam that song is... He is the driving groove

[Taubekarotte]

replace it

[bakersfieldmusicnow]

just classic

[ancientpagoda]

One very subtle but notable difference between the two versions: Stipe sings "one life, you got to do what you should." Bono usually sings "you get to do what you should," which implies both a privilege and responsibility for our actions and lives

[circusmonkey001]

I really like Bono, but Michael is far more charismatic... he did it better.

[thegr8tgazoo]

Bono, himself said that this song was written for someone that could give it justice... U2 fan fan since the beginning, but Stipe does does enhance this beautiful and majestic song....

[marcolonardi1]

Orrible...i couldn't listen all the song ( one of my favourite) this voice just destroy my hears.

[PhilTheJanitor]

@marcolonardi1 WTH?

[Benjihurlock]

Holy crap! Michael Stipe just made this song ten times better. If i were an artist i would never let R.E.M cover my song because they would do it so much better than the original!

[firstofme666]

@Benjihurlock

can't agree with you..michael could never replace bono

[blackflute]

@Benjihurlock

That's an ongoing argument ... and it's great when people find ways to improve things.

watch?v=oXh6wFhzN-8

[DJ4C0]

@Benjihurlock neah , u2 s still better

[wreckim]

@Benjihurlock ONE is already one of the very best songs ever recorded--but I get your point; better would be to have an album collaborated between these two great bands. BTW, Bono is quite the vocalist; especially when his voice has rested. Often, I think, we see clips of his live performances in 2 hour + performances; which have been going on for weeks and weeks etc....

[MrSnuras]

@Benjihurlock, utter bullshit. This version is nice, but so much off of the original, which carries completely different emotions and message...

[mdmomof7]

@Benjihurlock It's good, but it surely lacks the emotional gravitas of a Bono vocal. That said, Michael's vocal cover is probably my favorite so far.



[julianasramos8]

@Benjihurlock that's so true, man! haha, poor little Bono :P

[Rinessa22]

@Benjihurlock  I agree..:D

[aj1wz]

When he sings the word 'higher love' he sounds Irish, yet he's not Irish ... I love this version of the song though and the quirky part I just mentioned makes it even better.

[salmanc1]

this is awesome. so awesome.

[parix78]

I think this is One's best version ever.

[hobbeshope]

Boyz u did great. god bless u!! Thanks for so many great moments!!

[themooddisorders]

Atheism vs Theism

[desidelc1960]

[SuperActressLady]

@flyhi94

really? I thaught it was someone else...hm..alright thanks

[SuperActressLady]

who sings the original I am searching it the whole day :D

[flyhi94]

@SuperActressLady

u2

[johnnyjizz15]

@SuperActressLady U2 the band wrote & sang it in the early 90s. Mary J. Blige remade it a few years ago. this REM cover was done while U2's version was still on mtv though, every1 wants to cover this song it seems.

[SuperActressLady]

@johnnyjizz15

ok thanks :)

[argentozombi]

Makes me teary eyed every time :)

[lynckan]

[humpydaddy1]

U2 et REM....wat een combinatie!!!! het kan niet beter

[slak96u]

year was 1993 for a benefit concert held for Bill Clinton.

[69etoo]

Es el mejor cover que e escuchado en toda mi vida

[arak1968]

wow niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[mcul2112]

Michael Stipe is the MAN...

I heard Bono say in an interview that he wrote this song with Michael in mind. The way the song is, it totally sounded like he did. It's perfect for him.

[flick203]

awesome!!!!!!

[TotoSoloRock]

this is very good but bono still the best :)

[SteveRogers31]

R.E.M. is so underrated

[MISINA376]

Two of my fav groups create paradise :)

[LostShadow901]

What year was that? Looking  everywhere for this...R.E.M-Legends..Larry,Ad­am-Legends what can u want more

[dinacq]

stipe's vocal is much better for this song than bono's

[dmlover100]

io amo Stipe !

[octillery21]

Thank you!!

[UnionFC2010]

What was this from? Dennis Miller??

[SK101796]

[rubicelhq]

Gran Cover!!!

[volbox]

The one version I love

[cguzze]

What's a bono? This song was written for this voice.

[NylaCreates]

Better than the original!

[peponitra]

3:35 Harry Potter!

[themooddisorders]

what year was this?

[gabywwefan]

@themooddisorders 1993 :)

[gmabsetiawan99]

@gabywwefan part of me want to back to those wonderful years....

[gabywwefan]

@gmabsetiawan99 hahaha i know..

when the music was MUSIC.. i'm so sad because now the music isn't about feelings

or about other people, i don't know, it makes me feel sad and mad at the same time, because

this new generation don't know ANYTHING about REAL music

[MrFrument]

My God his expression is just words canot describe it

[TheKatlovesScott]

R.E.M. and U2....My fave bands of the 80's. Great vid. TY

[annmuin]

The best cover ever of a U2 song!

[MikeydeB]

Michael stipes voice is so much better than bono's, makes this song sound better than the original.

[paraleloVEN]

fantastic, stipe and bono. only one,one one, the republic of venezuela

[shafe44]

I forget how great his voice is.

[Rodney21a]

I recall Bono making the comment that Stipe was "quite the crooner" I don't think he has the range to sing this song...

[Calidude80]

REM just rocked this tune. All time classic! Stipe is the man.

[hopehope4]

TAO

[padraic2001eire]

Ha, I like what you've done here. You had the video, obviously, but the sound quality wasn't great. So you synced the video with a much cleaner sounding MP3 of the song, possibly taken from the Childline CD (an album I owned years ago, don't know where it is now).

[Toddpolo14]

How can you add to perfection? Ask Mr. Michael Stipe. Truly amazing.

[Frequency95]

This is why I love R.E.M.

This is better than the original in my opinion :)

[TheMarcosPaulo20]

THE best voice, I LOVE michael Stipe!!

[aj1wz]

Great song! And - he did it justice.

[fjmd16]

Que combinación

[annilou67]

fabuloso

[annilou67]

fabuloso

[viviw810]

I love U2 but this version is way better than the original. Stipe's vocal is just perfect for this song...

[skydive7273x]

@viviw810 right on

[avfcmickdaly]

@viviw810 ...he's one of them vocalists that could sing a lady gaga song and make it sound good....lol

[MusicIzMySavior]

@viviw810 no its not better than the original

[HarrysConstandinou]

@viviw810 For God's sake!!!What are you sayin'!!!!!

[viviw810]

I love U2 but this version is way better than the original.

Stipe's vocal is just perfect for this song...

[BananaHurricane]

Stipe and Mills <3

[annilouandree]

[RenTiq]

Biz from Belgium

[Sajithamila]

Love is a temple- Love a higher law ....so true....

[MRPIPAIII]

@Sajithamila

you ask me to enter and then you make me crawl

[kobi1974]

Mike Mills looks like Bill Gates!

[BeetleswithanA]

@kobi1974 That's Bill gates alright!

[turryx]

el mejor cover de la historia...lejos...

[lfh1226]

this is not U2 and REM because not all members of either band were there- it's Michael Stipe and Mike Mills of REM with Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen of U2. Bono and Edge couldnt make it, and Peter Buck wasn't there either.

[miguelporraz]

does anybody know the tunning of the guitar? sounds to me like it is tunned half a step down.

[p7byrd]

Automatic Baby was formed to welcome Bill Clinton into the White House after assclown Bush1. That's the difference between Dems and Repubs = Repubs get the Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, and Ricky Martin to perform at their inaugurations. We get REM, U2, and the Eagles.

[nemanjakezic]

It's the same shit. Democrats, republicans... What's the difference?

[zaphod888]

If anyone's interested, these guys called themselves "Automatic Baby", with this being that band's only performance ever.

[warmaker845]

I dont like covers,but this is in fact a excellent cover!

[ThePufferFash]

That's because Michael Stipe is God.

[fintonolan]

johnny cash's version iz well better

[hamasakitetsuya]

Michael looks so young!!! Maybe because of the hat...

[prostomax66]

maybe because of the year :))

[noinonoino]

素晴らしい！

秘かにボノがうたってるのよりこっちのほうが好きかな。

[lordtrax8]

私はマイケル優れていると思う。

[Asys1985]

Its 1993, the installation for the new president Bill Clinton.

[prostomax66]

TheDerekdub

I've noticed that when I listened it first time! But who cares.......it's great cover! If he said words in other position, it doesn't mean he meased it up!

[TheDerekdub]

I cant believe nobody noticed that he messed up the first chorus. He says "One life, one love". When it should be "One love, one life". Otherwise a great performance!

[fionaneves]

Souvenir...

[popolo007]

Te traigo pastaaaa jaja

[naya773]

Adoro essa versão!

[stevets01]

Hmm, what year is this? Michael looks like he just shot the video for "Everybody Hurts", so Bill Berry would have still been a member of R.E.M.... maybe he's out drinking with Bono?

[ILoveMikeyStipey]

I dunno - the hat reminds you of the everybody hurts video, yet he dusent apear to have hair here, so mabey its later on

or mabey he is just out drinking with Bono :L

[xxStageCrewxx]

This version is incredible. : ) I love Michael Stipe.

[kombajndosalatek]

damn, you're gay ;]

[Calidude80]

So amazing! I remember when this was on the radio years ago and blew me off my feet. Great combo!

[19AD93]

The microphone is to high for him xD

[cathy13100]

I love this version !!! <3 ;D

[haddingtonbb41]

i agree both are superb band and have written wonderful music for the past 25 years.  Well done both of them. Stipe sounds wonderful on this track but credit bono and co for a wonderful song. REM + U2 = great , great music. thanks and enjoy

[remnrone]

stipe has the perfect voice for this song

[hanckway]

U2 is great band and I am happy,cos I will be in Cardiff 22 august 2009,enjoy

[lastsinger]

U2 is great but this is somehow better !

[libreyloko777]

cool!

[lordtrax8]

for some reason I like this version better, probably because I hate Bono for being an ass, and mostly because this one really sounds better.

[u2MacPhisto09]

great version by REM

[cocofb76]

je t ame rem

[chibaze]

What amazing song, Thanks Stipe

[Airjoedun33]

i can't find this rendition on itunes, anyone know where i can download it?

[fishtalejava]

why must we always compare? why must we always compete? why must one band be better, per say, than another? why can't they just be..different?

[BeginXtheXBegin]

*APPLAUDS* That's exactly how I feel. I don't see why people also have to compare R.E.M. and U2 and argue over which is better. They are both unique, brilliant bands, and there's no reason to try and say one is better than the other.

[Mikey2k8C]

good version

U2 and r.e.m legends!!!

[marknaki123]

its like a collision of 2 awesome bands inone song. im suprised the world didnt explode !!!

[tube517]

Bono said Stipe sang it better

[remnrone]

what a match. Wish R.E.M. wrote that song. it souds much better than the u2 version

[davidf2805]

Great song. Begs the question though...who's better. REM or U2......no question in my mind...REM are amazing. Better songs, better albums and have stayed true to themselves without pandering to popular trends.

[mattferri22]

Anybody know where I can download this for my Ipod?

[MyMainProblem]

download the audio from this video

me encanta esta version, asi me aprendi one hahahahah, en serio, y tb a tocarla en
