  • Yea baby.

  • my favorite U2 song.... EVER!!!!

  • Bad, a musica mais votada do u22 por todo mundo. Bad é a canção mais amada pelos fãs fanaticos pelo u2, assim como é a minha preferida, Bad pra mim não é musica, ela quando toca vai direto na alma e te deixa anestesiado, Parece que Bono não esta cantando e sim contando o que sente quando seu amigo morreu de over dose.

  • this was the number one song the week I was born... :p

  • I don't know where I'd be without this song. Right now it's the only thing keeping me sane and positive. After all these years it still gets me every time I hear it. And that's what's awesome about U2. You can hear a song some 20 odd years after it's release and it still speaks to you.

  • Thumbs up if you're listening to this in 2012 and still getting goosebumps from it

  • There is not a day that goes by that I do not listen to this song.

  • the music of U2 is similar to Milli Vanilli

  • @pakitovillanueva

    Um, how? Seriously? I'd love to know.....

  • He couldn't find his shirt, so he pulled his pants up really high hoping no one would notice.

  • thumbs up if you listen this in 2012 :)

  • This Is My All Time Favorite U2 Song!

  • too many people disliked this song

  • from 4:36 starting real rock ,TY U2 ,thank you then & now ,greatest bannd ever!!!

  • U2 GODS OF ROCK

  • @SPEEDWULF77 and @leon00170

    Thank you for sharing powerful testimonies.

  • very moving.

  • A song that takes me out of my body into an incredible place ,

    thanks U2 !

  • 16 years old and obsessed with u2 since grade 4... got their lyrics tattooed on my back. Ill forvever love them.

  • @TyraRay got their lyrics tattooed on my soul

  • This is one of there best songs.

    

  • the best tune ever ..............

  • thumbs up if you listen this in 2011

  • @leon00170 R&H has been in my car cd player so long I fear I will wear it out. Of course, I will just buy a new one anyways.Every once in a while I give Achtung Baby a turn. Or Joshua Tree. Or All That You Can't Leave Behind. All are significant and relevant to this day and to prove it~my 14 year old daughter won't allow me to go to a U2 concert without her so we've been to 2 so far. When a 14 year old and a 40 year old can connect over a band, they've gotta be damned good. Lifelong fans here <3

  • @Pamelicious1971 Lifelong fans

  • @leon00170 in 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006.... 2012, 2013 2014, 2015...

    Never spend more than 2 months without being heard. ;)

  • anyway

    Please to meet U! I hope u got my name.

    Not fade away!!! no one should know what this song is about.

    I'm wide awake

  • lol that came true.  sorry bout that

  • Fucking Utube will not let me comment.

  • Hehe, Bono looks like an 80s Pauly Shore in this!

  • A perfect example of music - a simple chorus, - moving the soul, evoking emotional and psychological change. I've followed this band since 1982 and continue to this day. Jesus, said men could move mountains, and metaphorically U2 has done just so.

  • U2's best phase, Bono seems to be too held back nowadays. But still my favorite band ever. Not many bands put so much thought, soul and deep meanings to their music as U2 does.

  • ... Let it go and fade away.....

  • Week before 911.. then Tuesday showed up and wow ammo will never forget this Boston Show!

  • Holy Crap ! That is the hottest Bono I have ever seen! So obviously exhausted , and still looking hot! Yummy :)

  • wide awake..fade away..I love you Bono, I love U2

  • Bono, you can only imagine how many people you have positively affected with your amazing music. This world financially, politically and emotionally needs a true leader...please be that person. You have my unquestionable vote. J.G.

  • @MrJongrobler

    Wow taker easy! Bonos passion for politics ends when the song finishes. He's a pop star not a politician. The two rarely mix well.

  • @RVBOY2 Which is why he is always meeting up with world leaders to try and cancel debts in Africa, am I right?

  • How or why this song got stuck in my head six minutes ago I will not know. All I know is that I'm grateful it did. Can't go wrong with getting classic U2 stuck in your head.

  • Best of

  • Immer wieder geil................. :-)

  • U2-Utopia-Understandable Ultimo.

    Ruby Remarkable Rendition.

    Bono Best.

  • the best song ever!!!!!!

  • that is as good as rock and roll can get. bass, drums, guitar, incredible voice. that's what rock and roll is about. you realise how beautiful and emotional life can and should be. life is for living and songs like this turn moments into magic.

  • So beautiful U2

  • V 15ti jsem je registroval, ve 20ti poslouchal, v pětadvaceti se mi líbili, ve 30ti jsem je začal milovat a v pětatřiceti si bez nich nedokážu představit život. Dodávají mi energii, pozitivní vibrace, úsměv na tvář...

  • Thanks for putting this up. This is an amazing song and I can't believe they left it off the album! Good thing I have the DVD too.

  • I cannot tear my eyes off this video. I actually got the same chills I've gotten when attending their concerts. Amazing!!!

  • @luieu2 My favorite song period! This is probably my favorite version as well.

  • Perfeita!! MARAVILHOSA!!!!

    Tudo de BONO!!!!

  • When my life falls apart, I get out my Rattle and Hum VHS tape and turn it all the way up until I find the inner strength I lost. I've been doing this for 20 years.

  • @leekennedyharris

    I think that is really cool!

  • @leekennedyharris I do the exact same thing it is better then watching clips on youtube, though you tube is good for a quick pick me up LOL

  • @tantradrewien I agree! I love it when they are in Memphis by the River. Excellent footage.

  • @leekennedyharris

    God Bless You

  • @tommyboy87100 God Bless you too!

  • @leekennedyharris Is there any particular track you listen to most?

  • @paddy9i99 this one is my favorite.

  • @leekennedyharris i got clean 21  years ago , and this song was the inner power and desire to let go my life i was living up to this point. My dream come true . ILET GO I,M NOT SLEEPING!!!.))) I´m still clean .

    And when i hear this song , i cry and remember and i´m thankfull.

  • @SPEEDWULF77 So happy for you! Bono once said "Music can change the world because it can change people"...it is TRUE. Take care! =)

  • @SPEEDWULF77 What in inspirational story! Music is the route to the soul I think.

  • @SPEEDWULF77 I admire and thank you for responding. It sounds like you let it go and kicked its butt in the mean time. :)

  • @SPEEDWULF77 wish I could give you 100 thumbs up.

  • @leekennedyharris Thank God! Happy to hear that.

  • @leekennedyharris What a great way to lift your mood. My VHS is worn out but i still have it :)

  • @leekennedyharris I do the same thing. Only I'm 18 and my dad practically forced me to watch it when I was 12. I loved it and I still do :)

  • @leekennedyharris

    Thank You. Your words just did a lot of positive stuff.... ; )

  • @leekennedyharris sounds like you should try praying

  • @ridesinister I do.... :) But your right a little more would help!

  • @leekennedyharris this is the most inspiring song i've heard.....

  • @leekennedyharris --wow, i thought it was just me!

  • u2 at there best

  • Very cool n all but did hate the police academy voice he put on back then...you know the same guy was in scrooged...if you dont know then nvm

  • to drive in an old cadillac to arizona in the year 89 and hear this song - this was one of the greatest things in my life !

  • What an amazing song.. I have been a U2 fan for over 20 years - and I am now 30 - and I had never heard this one until quite some months ago.. This live performance is way better than the original in the album. I keep playing it all day long and feels like there's no way I could ever get enough of it. The whole globe should listen to some U2's and other mega-super-rockbands someday; I bet there would be no more lady gaga noise in our ears after that..

  • @demie07econ My suggestion - get Rattle and Hum on DVD or BluRay - it has the best versions of Bad, Where the Streets Have No Name, Exit, In God's Country, Bullet the Blue Sky, With or Without You (with the extra verse), Sunday Bloody Sunday (with Bono's famous "fuck the revolution" speech the day Enniskillen got bombed), and Pride. IMO it's U2 at their best, and none of those live versions are on any album (except Pride and Bullet).

  • @U2met86 Thanks for your suggestion, i got it quite a month ago; that's how I found out about this live version of 'Bad'.. And besides that, 'Bullet the Blue Sky' as in "Rattle and Hum" is their best ever live performance of this masterpiece! I am sure you totally agree on that ;). Thanks anyway!

  • i really think u2 should cut miss sarajevo out of their setlists and replace it with Bad (although it would be best if they played in addition to their 360 setlists... xD )

  • @blackbeltmisha Bono has cited Miss Sarajevo as his favorite U2 song up to date and the song itself has a beautiful making-of history. And Bono performing live the solo opera part is an once-in-a-lifetime experience. So, I would not like them to cut this one out of their setlist; they could include Bad though..

  • They played this as the last of the set in Pittsburgh and I was floored. Still would have loved to have been there for this version! OMG!!!

  • this periods of u2 music was still the best of my age

  • Just think, ten years before this they were just little boys playing gigs wherever they could, trying to get a record deal.

  • Excelente cancion...

  • Bono still rocks, but this time period was when he literally exuded emotion. This performance gives me chills even after all these years.

  • u2s music changed my life.

  • This and the the Live Aid performance are the best recorded versions of this song.

  • 16 people faded away

  • @coolmusicization no 17 people faded away. I wish people would stop making stupid comments. It's going to change next week anyways!

  • @coolmusicization 2,136 people rose through the stratosphere

  • @coolmusicization yip could not agree more, u2 play a part in every chapter of my life , now 40 still in love with their tunes..

  • Excelent album

    

  • Once in a while you get a song that brings goose bumps all over your body..... This is one of those.... Great song writing and performance....

  • U2's music has had an effect on me like no others. I bought their first record on vinyl and wore it out.

    Thanks for posting.

    If I could, you know I would.

  • i wish u2 still made music like this

  • @alzar11 they did it is called "Bad". Strange coincidence.

  • I wish they would've played older songs like this one it was still a great show in stl

  • when U2 used to play music...and only music....good music actually....

  • when u2 were good,

  • this is..what I call.. P E R F E C T I O N . . .

  • that first line was for the lady gaga comment above

  • lol @ the kat below..i feel ya brother...per the vid? AMAZING...i mean THE BEST! cant touch em never will...and just this one song and performance backs that up...BBB...bigger than the beatles baby!

  • IM PLEASED TO MEET YA!

  • @twotellys, Lady HaHa is nothin' but a Madonna wannabe!! She is a fraud and a fake and her/his music sucks (if that's what you call it) and her/his name can't be mentioned in the same breath as the GREAT U2!!

  • Wonderful song...

  • Edge's guitar solo at 4:29 is one of my favorites of all time!! Great song by, in my opinion the greatest band in history!! Sorry Beatles, Stones, and Zeppelin!

  • Keep Elvis in mind for that one...

  • popmart-tour-was-the-shit-when­-bono-had-a-voice-,now-its-jus­t-ok-97-mexico-city-was-the-be­st-concert-i-hope-dont-hurt-an­y-country-feelings-its-just-mu­-opinion

  • i wish i was alive wen they had this concert :/ 80s kids r the luckiiest!!

  • 14 people need to turn off their fck'n radio and their T.V. and type "GREAT MUSIC" in the google search bar.

  • this is a good version, but the version on 'wide awake in america' is the definitive one in my opinion

  • This is so true what he sing !!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Feel like traveling through time while listening...

  • What a song... da se najezis

  • omg !! this is the hottest bono eye candy i have ever seen !!! its obviously the the end of the concert cause bono is so tired and sweaty but holy crap !! AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!

  • This song is up there with The End (the Doors), Rolling Stones (Gimme Shelter), Radiohead (Lucky), Magazine (Permafrost), Joy Division (New Dawn Fades), Jimmy Hendrix (Hey Joe), Pink Floyd (Brain Damage), The Manics ( you Stole the Sun.......) etc... etc....

    Legendary and never get sick of 'em

  • IM WIDE AWAKE!!!

  • the BEST VERSION of one of the BESTS SONGS ever made!!!!

    Spetacular. :)

  • Bestes Lied aller Zeiten von U2

  • THAT WAS FREAKING AWESOME!! IM 15 by the way

  • Right on - i feel the same way about this song. When I hear it - I forgot how great this song is and I need to hear it more than once.

  • Rattle and Hum...it's just a musical journey !... I miss the good old time of U2!

  • Just saw them live in California... Good concert but kinda disappointed they didnt play this...

  • no one can nearly copy the edge

  • WOW! Wird Zeit das die mal wieder hier in Deutschland spielen!!!

  • Before the corporate sellout Bono was created

  • Bono = the only man who can rock out in suspenders.  respect.

  • this band just rocks even after soooooo many years! the greatest band of all time!

  • Wow has time flown by. I remember Rattle and Hum like it was yesterday. Amazing it's been almost 25 years. Man have they aged. Feels good to go back in time when they(and I) were so young. I still think they made it big in this era partly because, as my wife says, Bono was man candy back then.

  • If you were @ this concert.........you watched them @ their best!.....Classic!

  • Thanks for sharing this...

  • Awesome

  • Albert Steptoe's greatest ever performance...........;)

  • I like the moment when Bono embraces Adam at the end of the song.

  • Friggin "A", man! This is such a BAD ass song!

  • Back when this Movie came out in the theatres ,

    I saw this movie 8 times until it stopped being screened just to hear this again and again and again I could not let it go and now in my 40s this song will not fade away :-)

  • @luieu2 Same here! Long live us "40's" cuz we rule!

  • @tenchimouse Dude! please don't start wearing that "old guys rule" t-shirt because it's all over after that! :)

  • @xem727 lol!

    

  • @luieu2 Very special to me too, I still remember it . I was 11 years old when I

    listened to this the first time . I was addicted to this band in an instance . 25 years

    later, U2 still controls my musical life !! I listen about 2 hours a day to U2, I just have

    too, can't help it . Please U2 , NEVER FADE AWAY ...!!!

  • I have to agree, something similar happened to me as well.

  • @luieu2 hey hats off to ya my fellow u2 fan, your story sounds like a mirror of mine. this song came on the music box one special day when I needed to here just this, and evey time I hear it it wells me up and am definatly never tired of it even if you played it ten tmes in a row. this song will be played at my funeral some day!!

  • @luieu2 There is not a day that think of this song, sing this song or play this song. It will never fade.

  • @luieu2 same here dude never get tired of rattle and hum

  • @luieu2 My favorite song period! This is probably my favorite version as well.

  • Dieser Song ist für mich Irland, Bono, also einfach richtig gute Musik + Lebensgefühl!!!

  • WHEN I SEARCH FOR BAD, THIS IS WHAT SHOULD COME UP. Not fucking Lady GaGa.

  • @AwesomeSauce64 ...fuck i HATE GaGa!!

  • @AwesomeSauce64 I'm with you man! :D

  • @AwesomeSauce64 I kinda like the irony in that. searching for bad gives you Lady GaGa
