  • omg I can't stop listening to this now!! they made this song a million times better.. with Chris's voice <3 <3

  • great cover, awesome vocals and background vocals too. They made the song their own

  • I love it!

  • små negrer i sanden!

  • I like Daughtry, but Pillar did such a better cover.

  • I had no idea edbassmaster could sing

  • @dkrakovski I WAS JUST GONNA COMMENT THAT! haha glad im not the only one who thinks he looks like edbassmaster

  • good tribute, as far as hard rock cover the band Pillar takes the cake for this song.

  • Wow....they are really good.U2 is hard to cover.Props!

  • I've been a U2 fan forever, and this cover is just MAGNIFICENT!!!

  • that drummer is a disappointment

    there is a lot of high hat action that he skipped

    and without it, the song just isn't the same

  • damn edbassmaster can sing too?! he can do ANYTHING..

  • 0:31 - heartbeat start

  • daughtry did a great job. i'm not even that big a daughtry fan but he did an amazing job.

  • Very good cover. You did a great job of making it yours. U2 has been one of my favorite bands since they first came out in the 80's.

  • Is that EDBASSMASTER sining

  • well, they didnt play the guitar part right, the riff comes in at different times. but not bad

  • It's not better then the original but I was really good..... I hate then people cover U2 song because they usually suck... But Chris Daughtry and his band nail it!!!!!

  • Awesome Cover.....

  • love it!

  • this is a really good version of the song. they totally did this out of respect. I wonder what U2 thoguht of this version of the song?

  • wow,,,that drummer sounds better than daultry.......daultry should do alice in chains songs with his goat voice  and look.

  • Jizz.

  • This is good ,but no one can replace the edge

  • @DirtyFret maybe you should upload your guitar skills video up here where everyone can boo you then...dick face!

  • @muaythai4ko Well, daughtry is good, im not saying he is not good, but i believe many U2 fans would like the edge as well and this song isnt difficult to play, and fyi, the edge did some harmonics to this song, and i play the guitar, so u can just stfu about it, it isnt difficult to play. hahaha, and i scared u will be the one who get boo-ed dick head

  • @DirtyFret well dumb ass... comparing the two should not even be in this question at all, if you respect them as musicians, let alone talk about their skills. Since you're so confident w/ your skills, let's us see it then. I (we) can't wait to see your awesomeness music video.

  • Dude has some pipes. Great rock voice .

  • no one on earth can cover U2 and sound as good as Bono , but this one's pretty much good.

  • I would love to have a high quality MP3 of this song or cd...

  • awesome

    

  • Surprisingly good. Then again I expected utter shit. Biggest gripe is the overly distorted guitars that sound horrible and have no soul.

  • Love the origional.... I think Daughtry did an AWESOME job on the cover. 2 thumbs up !!

  • Wow! That was a great job by the whole band. Chris has a great rock voice, great projection with clarity. This version was no slight on the original, it was a compliment. Pretty good job for a jam session in a studio. Well done!!

  • WHAT A VOICE !!!!

  • great job boys!!!!! one of my favorite U2 songs as well!!!!

  • AWESOME.

  • The vocals are great!!!!......But it is not Adam, Larry or the Edge. Still did a great job

  • i have no doubt that he sings better than bBono

  • Well of course they are not going to do a U2 song just like U2 does it......But its the thought of doing it for a band they respect.

    I thought it was cool.

  • I'm not in love with the guitar tone or technique, but good energy overall. Very fine vocal performance, especially the backing vox (which have to be outstanding to do U2). That simple bass line is infectious - just like it ought to be.

  • Its the style people love, not the covers.

  • killed a good song, jackass

  • @gavofleon shutup they didnt kill the song your retarded, go jump off a cliff

  • @iGLoCKeDYoU who the fuck you talking to like? listen to the origional you daft cunt, this is fucking bollocks, daughtry is bollocks, youre bollocks, your mam has bollocks, fucking come on then, COME ON THEN! exactly you daft fuck, fuck off you sad sad little fucker

  • @gavofleon dude what is your problem? They are paying tribute and you trash them. They did a good job. If you don't like the cover why are you listening to them and bothering to comment? Do you not have a life?

  • Pillar covers it better

  • Wow! First time seeing and hearing this. Man, how did Chris remember all the words to this song. This version was a tribute to U2, not a slight. Chris even said U2 was one of their favorite bands. Josh Steely (lead guitarist) may not be Edge, but he played his part of guitar licks pretty well. Remember, they played this version in a studio live. I think it was pretty good for a jam session. Enuf (sic) said.

  • grt version love u2 and this is great

    

  • My Hearth just skipped a beat.. My God! these guys are AWESOME!

  • Daughtry can do no wrong! So awesome!!

  • They did an incredible job with this amazing song. I've been a U2 fan since I was 11 - I'm now 38. So I give them an A for effort.

  • i really liked the videos of U2 playin in the background. they obviously respect those guys alot

  • WTF Edbassmaster?

  • daughtry has pure talent no matter what he sings

  • To tell you the truth , this guy sound a lot like Bono.

  • Hallucination is deadly right...

  • Awesome !

  • They are not copying it they were paying tribut to it cause they like U2 and for everyone that is so fucking stuck on politics about this song and Ireland get over it I hate politics it's just another way for someone to bitch

  • NICE! More reworks of original artist making it your own is great music!

  • The meaning behind the song is a lot greater then they made it out to be

  • great song Dude!

  • it's good but U2 is still U2, u can't copy it

  • I think these guys did an amazing job. Well done Daughtry!

  • to be fair i hATE U2 they fund the IRA and hmmmm u think thts right errr NO also the song about tragedy in ireland should not be sang by a person who never knew the pain of wat the song is about

    my personal opinion not to be takin like it matters jus how i feel about totalitarianism its jus like hitler all over again with these IRA assholes wanting to rule the country by force and death

  • @TheDjScribbz

    Dude where are you from?!?! 

  • @TheDjScribbz jesus get away from the hate man ...so you know they support the ira

    shut the fuck up no brains just enjoy the music

  • FUCKING AMAZING !!! AWESOME !!!

  • I am taken back by their cover! What a great version of this epic song!

  • These guys are awesome!!!!

  • awesome!!!

  • I thought it was awesome. Not as good as U2 but thats not expected.

  • I love U2 and I think this was awesome !

  • I agree 02071979matt.....Awesome Bloody Awesome!!!!

  • I read the comments first with all the usual bullshit and watched the cover after. I never heard of this band. This is a great cover. The only thing is I usually prefer when the cover differs more from the original, but just a personnal taste.

  • Nice cover!

    Out of interst the follwoing lyrics are missing from the original:

    And it's true we are immune

    When fact is fiction and TV reality

    And today the millions cry

    We eat and drink while tomorrow they die!

    The real battle yet began (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)

    To claim the victory Jesus won (Sunday, Bloody Sunday

  • I am a die-hard U2 fan and I LOVE this! I also am a huge Daughtry fan- and the merge of these 2 are incredible. Yes- Chris's voice is better- but Bono has the X factory which makes him untouchable. Bono's emotions take over and we forgive his voice when he struggles. LOVE this clip- thanks for posting

  • Better than U2 and im saying this having all u2 cds

  • Absolutely brilliant.

  • esviron.elbruto,es

  • people....just appreciate the music. get off your political high horse or any other bullshit. great cover....daughtry is one talented m'fer. Bono can keep trying to save the world, but this man is trying to make a living. Major ups Daughtry!!

  • Wow, this is the BEST U2 cover I have ever heard. I am a huge fan of both bands, superb.

  • Wow! GREAT cover/tribute !!! You got to listen to it without watching the video...sounds sooooo much like U2. "wipe those tears away..."

  • Better than U2.

  • @christmasladyx Pffft! Chris and the band would totally disagree!!! Though, this is the best U2 cover EVER!

  • @nomardll769 I'm sure they would. They're humble like that. But seriously, Chris's vocals FAR outshine Bono's. Just sayin'. And I AM a U2 fan...just like Chris's voice way better.

  • Who the hell is this band...never heard of them

  • This was phenomenal!!! I have been a U2 fan for almost 25 years, and if I could pick ANYone to cover U2....it is this man right here. Many have tried....no one has succeeded....until now....that is. Totally blown away is what I am right now. :)

  • this is the best cover of ANY u2 song by anyone..daughtrey fuckin rocks the world!

  • DANG it . HOT

  • His voice is too nice for this song. I love U2 and this song, But I say it's not for C.Daughtry, Great try! :)

  • damn good cover of a legendary band

  • great job!

  • It takes a lot balls to cover U2 and sound this good.

    I've been a U2 fan since the '80s and these guys nailed it...weaving in their own style...not trying to replicate the song completely. It's Awesome!

  • Comment removed

  • I get that you liked Daughtry's performance but I don't think there's a need to trash Bono in doing so.

  • @zootv22 I'm not dissing his singing, I'm dissing his personality. They even did a report on one of those news expose shows (ie 20/20, 60 Minutes, etc.) about how his "charities" are a sham that piss away the money they raise to help people, and about how the only time there's any real promotion done for them coincides with a U@ album or tour. Yes, he's a decent singer. But he's also a douche bag who doesn't deserve my respect.

  • Actually the 60 minutes show wasn't to expose him, it was to show how his charities are helping. Now what charity have you started my dear friend? Bono is not committing fraud, and gaining off of these charities, or they would have busted him by now.

    And on a final note, how do you know that Bono was on all this stuff? Either you watched it because you're so focused on hating the man, or you just overheard it and think you know what it was actually about. Either way, get a life!

  • it's not bad, nor good.

    it's legit.

    it's a cover people. yeah, he's no bono. and they're no adam,larry, or the edge.

    they need an extra guy.. haha.

    but it's not bad.

    :)

  • @rtonyb7 "nor good"? What? You're a fucking idiot. They did this fantastic. Bono is no Daughtry either. = Some songs Chris does- Bono wouldn't be able to do as well, ya fuckin moron.

  • @kickyerass i would rather have bono's voice than this cue ball faggot.

  • Not really great, brings nothing new to the original song, I've seen better versions

  • Nicely done, guys! (And Josh Paul, you are a CUTIE!)

  • i like it big fan of daughtry only started listening to his music for about 6 months and now im hooked love the voice

  • obviously you can sing, however please ,when performing a classic song, research the product!!! you need to listen to and view the Red Rocks version about a hundred times, then and only then can you sing that song. You are brilliant, use your brain man.

  • Hey Im not a Daughtry fan per say but i will say he did do a great job with this!

  • Too many losers in this world. If anyone thinks the intention was to make the song better than you're an idiot . It's paying tribute to a song and band they obviously respect . If you think it's better that's awesome, if you don't that's ok too. Just shut the fuck up all you pompus U2 fans who think it's blasphemy for some band to cover the almighty U2. I'm a U2 fan by the way. I've seen them 14 times in 4 different countries on 2 continents. I like the original but I thought this was cool.

  • DITTO!

  • @Hallucination I agree i've seen the band and i'm a massive fan and it makes me happy to see that bands respect U2, it makes you feel good to know that U2 are seen as an inspiration to people.

  • @Hallucination heres to you dude

  • @Hallucination Fuckin' BURN their asses! Lol! PS. LOVE Daughtry!

  • @Hallucination i can never understand people who put down a band when all they are trying to do is pay a tribute makes no since funny thing is i have seen other fools slate u2 for doing the same thing

  • i'm sorry, but his shaky ass voice ruined it...

  • @mysensesfailed19  REALLY?

  • i usually hate it when bands cover stuff, but this was pretty friggin awesome!

  • perfect

  • Simply awesome , love Christ daughtry. He's AMAZING !!!

    Who hate it so SHUT UP , u need put paper toilet in ur ears right now if u say it shit !!!

  • I love the original and this just blew me away wow, didnt think it could ever be covered well but this is well the original aint even in the same league wow

  • The voice is good but the guitaring isn't so...

  • FUCKIN ,,,U2 N bono is my religion i practice it ,.....if u dont like it go fuck urself ...

  • this dude has soem set of fuckin pipes

  • i dont think they aspired to outdo u2. they just wanted to tribute the original and their version is very good. not u2's but its very good for a cover.

  • daughtry is a good band, this just shows how difficult U2 is too follow... U2 is in a different strata of music than 99.9% of the bands out there.

  • Its a V good cover, jus hope chris knows what the song means.

  • he does

  • I dont like U2 and I like Daughtry but this cover realy blows chunks, BIG TIME!!!!

  • You're biased against the song before Daughtry even plays a note, you don't count...just like your lousy opinion.

  • Put you head in a woodchipper turd.

  • intersting version U2s is better but this is still pretty damn good much more punk meets metal

  • For those dissing this saying nothing can be better than the orignal.....they were'nt trying to be, it's a COVER....duh! And quite a decent one at that IMO.
