  • Say what he will, Bloody Sunday is a potent phrase for one reason, a reason that predates this song by a decade and predicated the last, most horrific leg of the troubles: No Irishmen, especially republican catholic kids like the Bono and Edge who wrote this song could, or would want to alter the images that chorus screams at you, this is a Rebel song.

  • små negrar i sanden

  • Steve Nash on guitar, ladies and gentlemen.

  • this is an awesome video regardless of the political implications. thank you so much for posting this, and i will eventually learn how to use the CAPS button on my keyboard!!!

  • What's the current situation in Northern Ireland?

  • @tmoney12346 Protestants and Catholics live together peacefully, a few radicals try and screw it up. Everyone agrees that Bono has the most shockingly bad haircut in this video ever. Amen.

  • @dubcindub15 Agree

  • @tmoney12346 - it's a million times better than I could have imagined when i first heard this song

  • this is the first time i ever see Larry in shorts....hahahaha

  • This is the Welsh band called You Two. The singer is called Bone & the guitar player is called The Hedge. This song is called Bloody Sunday because Bone doesn't like Sundays. He prefers to stay in bed.

  • strepitosa!!!

  • Bono used to be so damn hot. Aging's fucking scary, man.

  • Correct my american self if I'm wrong. But isnt the RIRA still trying to free the north? Because the old IRA sided with the British? Im kinda confused i thought the whole point of the original IRA was to get England out so Ireland can run itself. How is the country free if England still has their hands in it? Idk maybe I'm misinformed. I dont live in Ireland

  • Eminemfan844, you think U2 is better than Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones, the Beatles?, they have put out some great music there is no doubt, but they are just a little short when it comes to matching up to those bands I have mentioned.

  • @pocketpls1 I don't think there is any way to compare U2 with the bands you have listed, to put it simple, U2 was born a political band, very different!

  • The best band to exsist.

  • Best band ever!!!!!! and still the best

  • 26 unarmed citizens shot by their government, 14 of which died. A concern if it happened anywhere, under any regime. Startling that it happened in Derry, in Northern Ireland.

    And Durbot999 thinks it's about mowing the lawn. Sad :-(

  • Sunday Bloody Sunday'. What a great song. It really encapsulates the frustration of a Sunday, doesn't it? You wake up in the morning, you've got to read all the Sunday papers, the kids are running round, you've got to mow the lawn, wash the car, and you think "Sunday, bloody Sunday!".

  • @Durbot999 with all due respect... but I think you have no idea what this song is about. and if you do, that comment is very disrespectful. the frustrations and pain you hear in this song is not the pain of having to wash the car or mowing lans.... /watch?v=xeK2PWqyGLQ thank you, sebaz

  • @Durbot999

    Hahahah, i guess that could be why they wrote it.

  • just hope u yanks stop giving money to a cause that aint yours

  • back when bono could sing...

  • @masternate61 bono can always sing

  • @masternate61 this was his prime...but he still can sing

  • U2 are fab!!!

  • Of course it's about bloody sunday ffs. After IRA Enniskillen bomb Bobo always went out of his way to point out it's "not a rebel song" - ie he wants to clarify he doesn't support the ira. You can be anti-bloody Sunday without being pro-ira. Also, Irish rebel songs were rampant at that time so he didn't want this to be confused for one. Response to this song at the time was Sinead O'Connors "This IS a rebel song"

  • free ireland

  • @monoskunk Call William Wallace.

  • @whoregay William Wallace was scottish, he has nothing to do with Ireland -.-''

  • Shame he became an arsehole and prat!

  • celts had the one true religion, not the italian brainwashed tyrants that forced us to believe in the one magic man in the sky which was given to them by the hebrew parisites...

  • HEY!! WOW!!

    WHAT CAN I SAY??

    IT'S SUNDAY MORNING.....I MEAN ARVO...(LATE NIGHT)...

    SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY....!!

    AND YES.. I MEANT TO SAY 28 YEARS AGO! **S.B.S!!

  • 1983! WOW! 18 YEARS AGO!

    SUNDAY TODAY! SUNDAY TODAY!

    GOOD LUCK TO U2 FANS!

  • @zorazen2

    hmmm it is 28 not 18 yrs ago

  • how long must we sing this song? until the north is free!

  • @Weasel1282 The Northern Irish consider themselves British subjects of the Queen of the UK, and they've already voted for staying in the the UK.

    They're also Anglicians not Catholic, and they use St. Georges cross along with the symbol of Tyrone on their flag.

  • @Donkeyn00b really! thats why they wnat out. they didnt vote you bloody murdering brits did not them! hide behind your false ballots and your butcher's apron (that your discrace of a flag if you didnt know). our day will come

  • @Weasel1282 I'm not British.

  • @Donkeyn00b no your a nazi! like the kind my grandfather shot in ww2, at dachau when he and his men shot the ss gaurds. or like my great uncle who fought in the battle of the bulge. yeah my family knows your kind. wish we could have mounted them on our walls! then again we dont take pride in shooting rats!

  • @Weasel1282 I'd have to be around 70 to be a nazi.

  • @Weasel1282 I live in the Bulge

  • @DtCRaphi may you die there with the other nazi scumbags

  • @Donkeyn00b

    They voted to stay in uk because england for years and years have put anglicans there to have more influence. Ireland is madly catholic and I don't like it, but they have got their right to freedom. Me as a scot I don't want the queen as my leader and i don't want cameron as my prime minister. We don't need england to leave, colonialism has to end.

  • You know its old when Edge has a clump of hair

  • the best

  • Alex Keaton, Reaganomics, and New Wave music!!!!!!!!!

    "want-to-play-a-game??"

  • Has that twat Bono not been made a saint yet?

  • Mmm Bono was so sexy back then

  • Comment removed

  • @Teacat749 That is what the song is basically about.... An event that happened in Derry of January 30th of 1972.....

  • Bono et sa fameuse coupe de cheveux "joueur de foot Allemand" !!! :)))

  • @Kobayen77 ??je ne comprend pas??

  • @11gll

    C'est juste la coupe de cheveux (long sur la nuque)... C'est très 80' ;)

  • @Kobayen77 jejjej ok :D

  • the best band all world....u2 we never 4 get that band.....we miss you boys...the 80 times its all remember...love from portugal setubal

  • For those that haven't i suggest you take the time to do a little research on what the song is actually about. U2 and Bono in particular have repeatedly said this song is not about Bloody Sunday in 1972 but infact is about the violence enacted by all sides of the conlfict in Ireland for decades. In more recent live performances he praised the current politicians in Northern Ireland who have compromised on power sharing arrangements.

  • @19592000 You're absolutely right and thanks for saying it! The first sentence "this is not a rebel song" speaks for itself! No more war!!!

  • i dont cry a lot but whenever this song strikes up im just in tears this such an emotional song for me :')

  • Edge looks like Matthew Bellamy

  • @MrAndrewAbe - Another clown with no education...crawl back under that rock you live under you dumb CUNT. We need ethnic cleansing legalised for the likes of you...a fuckin numbskull barman??? Watch out world...not..

  • I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!!

  • Mr Andrew Abe your all mouth Lets meet face to face you pussy you are nothing but a dumb cunt, fuck you, u r nothing but a soft cock I will kick the shit out of you if we ever meet, infact lets meet how tuff are you hiding behind your screen, come on back up your bullshit statement, you and me pussy come on if you think you can say that about the irish think again oh ya thats right you cant think. YOU AND ME PUSSY I DONT CARE WHERE YOU ARE IN THE WORLD I WANT TO SEE HOW TUFF YOU R PUSSY

  • @Mamie536 hyggr

  • THE WAR IS OVER YOU IDIOT....... YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!!!!! tal!!!

  • Thank you for posting this!!!!

  • greetings from MEXICO#1 to our brothers the IRISH#1...Remembrance!

  • On January 30, 1972, British troops opened fire on unarmed and peaceful civilians in Derry, Ireland during a civil rights march. This music song is a tribute to the 14 killed and others wounded

  • musica now a days has no fucking message its really sad it really is

  • probably one of the best songs ever!

  • 13 did not they must be brits

  • THIS SONG TALKS ABOUT THE MASACRE ON A SUNDAY ON IRISH CIVILIANS PROTESTING AGAINST THE BRITISH ARMY PRESENCE ON THEIR STREETS TO FIGHT THE I.R.A: THE IRISH REPUBLIC ARMY WITH LOTS OF MEMEBERS AMONG THE POPULATION; IS AN HISTORICAL RESISTANCE AGAINST THE CROWN:::::::AS THE SCOTISH AND GALES PEOPLE HAVE DONE

    AND IS NOT A REBEL SONG BUT A REVOLUTIONARY SONG:::::::::::::::::::::::

  • I liked hayr of bono!

  • u2...the most over-rated musical act in all history. amazing how these clowns have scammed you all into becoming almost billionaires.

  • @MrEODTEK Haters gonna hate

  • @MrEODTEK They are the most amazing band in the world..they are not over-rated

  • @MrEODTEK - over-rated in "all history"...you gotta ba a fuckin gimp in a prison cell somewhere!!! If you got out more then you'd know what the civilised world is about...

  • Back when they had a modicum of humbleness . . .

  • Classic! By far my favorite U2...

  • This is an anti rebel song ! On the Rattle and hum tour before he sang this he Shouted "F*ck the Revolution"

  • One word...epic!

  • I was there

  • "THIS IS NOT A REBEL SONG" the hell it isn't! Love U2, but you can't sing a song like this, with a chorus like it has, about the single most defining moment in the modern era's troubles, and then relent. It's a song about British atrocities committed on a peaceful civil rights march that changed everything. I'll never understand why Irish celeb's feel the need to hide how they feel about what the Brit's have done to Erin for hundreds of years. It's called history, and it's well documented. 

  • @scottykeane33 u2 never tried to hide what the brits had done.if you look at the 1987 version,they never tried to hide the killings the IRA have done too.and another version where bono lists all of the names of the omagh dead and who committed that? former members of the provisional IRA.i dont excuse britain but all the people of this country have ever wanted is no more bloodshed from either side.why should irish celeb's have to tell the world how they feel about it? what good will it do?

  • Whadya know, Boner's waving a white flag. Don't get me wrong, U2 has tons of great tunes, but I would push Boner down a big flight of stairs if given the chance.

  • @cmpdas haha unlucky :)

  • U2's all for peace while the rest kill each other to see who has the better imaginary friend.

  • I just remembered I had a dream last night I got a mullet haircut.

  • It isn't a rebel song but it makes you want to shout and scream and right all the wrongs in this world! Instead I think I'll just press "Play again"!

  • One of the most iconic songs ever. Far more meaningful than Lennon's protest crap. Don't get me wrong. Lennon was a fine songwriter and a true legend but his held nothing against the real Sunday Bloody Sunday.

    As Bono said 'This song is not a rebel song' and he was right as both sides sung.

  • @MrRascasseman Lennon's protest crap??? And what have you ever written???? Oh i thought so!!!!

  • @hrsouder great songwriter and everything and a true legend but his protest Sunday Bloody Sunday was forgettable and even pretentious.

  • @MrRascasseman I can agree the song was certainly not his finest hour and it would have been better with out Yoko's "help",your point is well taken and i do have to agree with you on this point.Take care

  • This ain't no rebel song

  • énorme le bono j'adore la classe à l'état pur la chair de poule a les écouter !!!!

    bien larry de vous êtes réunis ;) 

  • I saw U2 perform in the 80s. What memories....

  • 5 Things I Love About U2:

    1. THE MUSIC! Its upbeat, catchy, wonderful and it will be around forever! Not like the crap we are exposed to today!

    2. Bono's beautiful, strong, angelic voice!

    3. Their Irish accents! <3

    4. The Musicianship between the band! (Most important thing to have in a band!)

    and

    5. Bono is sooooooo cute! <3 <3 <3 I literaly love him so much!

    Im proud as a 13 year old to say, I listen to wonderful music. <3

  • @rooftopconcert1970 Would you like a cookie?

  • @jamesthemaniac what do you mean? <_<

  • ..i used to fancy Bonos socks off when i was a lil girl..... This was the first vid i ever saw him in and i just wanted to grow up FAST so i could go to Ireland and tell him he has to marry me! (lols)..the memories of life..

  • From Portugal

    No more. Long life to the Republic

  • Brilliant.

  • No More! No More! No More!

  • Awesome!!!!! Its a message for peace.

  • @redshock1000 yeah..and we're as far away from peace as ever..tune is brill though..

  • Sunday Bloody Sunday  <3 I LOVE U2

  • @squeekspop59 This isnt a rebel song and that isnt the point. the whole point is that these guys are singin about the revolution that was goin on in their home country at the time. 

  • @kilduff32 exactly...you're right :) he even says "this is not a rebel song"

  • @kilduff32 no revolution.just bloody war

  • @kilduff32 still is just got a mor diplomatic face

    whent to dublin last week and i witnessed at least 3 defrent protests related to the british "rule" of northern ireland i had no idea

  • @kilduff32 still is just got a mor diplomatic face

    went to dublin last week and i witnessed at least 3 defrent protests related to the british "rule" of northern ireland i had no idea that it stil was that much alive

  • You can comment arguing who wrote it etc but one things sure that's some mullet on Bono...

  • Wanna hear a real Rebel Song? Stiff Little Fingers; Alternative Ulster. From guys who lived there and lived it

  • U2...that is it.

  • wonderful

  • You can say what you want about Bono these days - but WHAT A VOICE!

  • Bono is without a doubt , the greatest performer of all time.

  • John Lennon did a much better song about Bloody Sunday and it IS a rebel song.

  • @benedick47 its NOT a rebel song, its a memorial song and it was written by a U2 member David Howell Evans,and known as The Edge. The 'war' took place back in 1972. 26 UNarmed civil right protesters were shot and killed on January 30, 1972 in Northern Ireland.

  • I wonder why larry doesn't sing the chorus anymore? I think his gritty voice really goes great here

  • i love hearing songs about irish people being slaughtered

  • u2 is VOICE...

  • u2 at their very best!

  • i really love this song, we listen to this song at our school everyday!! <3

  • what a beast. i love the passion

  • Love it.. thanks!

  • ahhh Bono, my bono, the young sexy budding activist, this was back when music was good, and real and had a purpose and a msg.

  • @ezridax and when the edge had hair

  • @ezridax bono may have been an activist, but the edge wrote this

  • 10 People can shove 5cent Sundays up their FREKINASS!!

  • This song is about a VERY SAD time in Ireland History. Wikileaks released a video of people being killed with 30mm Cannon fire from a US Military Apache Aircraft, Killing unarmed people armed with a CAMERA. Same type of senseless killing. When will it all end?

  • i'm agree with you  quillber

  • I'M TIRED OF THIS MIDDLE AGED ASSHOLE GOING ON MEET THE PRESS TRYING TO SCAM THE AMERICAN TAXPAYER FOR MORE FORIEGN AID! ESPECIALLY WHEN WE ARE IN A RECESSION. STOP BITCHING ASSHOLE AND APPLY SOME MORE HAIR DYE TO WHATS LEFT.

  • @mizzoulibertarian what the heck is your problem? clam down and listen to some nice music :)

  • @ledzepgirl92 lol.. :)

  • @mizzoulibertarian Douche.

  • This song is sooo amazing and bono a legend and U2 is legendary

  • This song is always better when it's live...

  • @elsoda

    No sir, fuck you.

  • FUCK U2! echo and the bunnymen are the greatest!

  • @elsoda Go bitch somewhere else. Not on a U2 video.

  • On form like that, U2 can't be touched. Epic song. Just shows the frustration and despair in Ireland at the time and it was a call to come together and stop the utter stupidity of this violence.

  • mullet<3

  • EPIC! they sing with yours hearts.

  • aaaaa <3 love them!

  • What a great song. It really encapsulates the frustration of a Sunday, doesn't it? You wake up in the morning, you've got to read all the Sunday papers, the kids are running round, you've got to mow the lawn, wash the car, and you think "Sunday, bloody Sunday!".

  • @Durbot999 guessing you like alan partridge? haha

  • @Durbot999 are you kidding? The IRA killed so many people on Bloody Sunday...it's not just some stupid song about your weekend.

  • @dirtpoe A massacre? Ugh. I'm not playing that again.

  • @dirtpoe the IRA???! Get serious please...

    Check on wikipedia, before posting FUD.

    And the songs was really not about that. The "NO MORE" shouts should give you a clue.

  • @dirtpoe Are you serious? The IRA didn't kill those 13 people. The English Army did. Investigators just recently found this to be true.

  • @dirtpoe It was the RUF who killed so many people on that day not the IRA ..

  • EPIC!

  • ERIN GO BRAGH
