The only speech Bono has ever made that meant something to me, it made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Unfortunately the rest of the time he talks utter shite.
Born & raised in Denver and was too young to see them at Red Rocks during the Under A Blood Red Sky...but I was at McNichols this night in 1987 and saw this entire show. Still gives me goose bumps.
I love this but Bono says he's not even sure if it should have been included in the film because the Eniskillen bomb will soon be forgotten and people wont understand how U2 felt on stage. So he thought the film would be seen long after people have forgotten the bomb. I do not think Rattle and Hum was more memorable than the bomb even though I love the music and Heaven forbid people should not understand how U2 felt on stage.
What Happened in Enniskillen that Sunday in 87 is unconscionable! What Bono is saying is to screw the revolution because what's the glory in that-U2 are my all time favorite American Rock ban-yeah, they're from Ireland but U2 are American-Bono may be an immigrant but he is a great American because we're all in this together-I say in an open letter to Obama for all the Brave American Soldier Rabbits fighting and losing their lives in Iraq and Afganistan. I say No More! What's the glory in that?
@hoprabbitbunny please do not refer to U2 as americans. They are Irish. They have no American roots. Have houses all over the world. Usually Bono himself, when he's not touring, is in Dublin, Ireland. He takes holidays in his Southern France home a lot too, does that make him French? I think not. U2 are ours. Not yours.
One Of the reasons I love u2 so much. They put so much Passion into their music! A billion times better than any other stupid Hip Hop song or rap stuff. Very few of their artist put even half the passion bono and u2 does. 37 people even disliked this video. How could you not like this song!!! Probably those brain washed teenagers that listen to all of their bad music. (By the way I am 17).
@rocklover4 totally agree the passion and emotion in their music is amazing! and never doubt music (good music) i listen to everything mainly rock, metal and blues but i listen to modern stuff and im 15 :)
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!".
@yesJoshh NO MORON it was written about stopping violence including the bombing of innocents by the IRA as well as non innocents by the IRA - and a few innocents. you missed the whole point.
This speech was dramatically caused by too many americans who applauded the killing of british innocent people. Yes Irish have died - but mostly activists appart from the 1972 incident. A 5 year old kid was killed by the IRA in a town 10 miles from me. The IRA were terrorists - what america now supposedly stand against. nothing but 2 faced assholes are the americans. America has never politically been a friend of the UK. Bastard Americans
big credit to bono and u2 for speaking sense, and lets not forget being brave against the republican bullieboys to do it, at a time in history when it needed to be said. irish americans are americans and they need to remember that, the money they gave in naiveity killed many of my countrymen, and as bono said, they gave it in a cause most of the irish didnt support. as our peace process evolves slowly but surely i hope they learn from the errors of their ways and damage they have caused.
St.Pats an odd phenom in the US. We celebrate it in Canada too, but there are no parades, etc. Just recognize contribution Irish made to the development of our country, like the Scots, the French, etc. There is no sentiment for "the revolution" either way. I have ancestors from Downpatrick, my wife has some from Donegal, but we are Canadians.
What's the glory of taking a man from his bed and gunning him down in front of his wife and his children? Where's the glory in that? Where is the glory in bombing a remembrance day parade of old-age pensioners, their medals taken out an polished up for the day? Where's the glory in that?
Things are so difficult often. even after 21 years re-united Germany, there are so many dislikes, so much jealousy sometimes, it's incredible! And there were never terroristic attacks, for god's sake. I can't even imagine how difficult it must have been and must still be for Eire.
A sad, but a very great song, too. U2, thanks for this incredible song!!
This song, and these lyrics, just became all too real again in Oslo and on Utøya, Norway, Friday 22.07.11. When I read the news on Saturday 23rd, and the death toll had risen from 15 confirmed dead to 92, then I really couldn't believe the news.
Today on the 24th it all still feels so unreal, and my thoughts go out to all those mothers who have lost a son, all those fathers who will have to be present at their daughters funeral, all those sisters and brothers who now are lone siblings.
I've had enough of Irish-Americans who haven't been back to their country in 20 or 30 years and talk of the resistance and the revolution back home. And the glory of the revolution and dying for the revolution. F@#$ the Revolution. ...To leave them dying or crippled for life or dead under the rubble of the revolution, That the majority of the people in my country don't want! No More! Amen.
Have always loved U2. Recently undertook a whole semester mainly of contemporary Irish history. The troubles were a lethal blend of politics and religion, but Bono manages to hit on the main point being the ceasing of violence, and not choosing sides.
I lived in Limerick for six months of my life, and have not a bad thing to say about the Republic or the north, if only a bit too much rain! Great place.
To leave them dying or crippled for life or dead under the rubble of the revolution, That the majority of the people in my country don't want! These lyrics are amazing, not my favourite U2 song but still a true great
im a bit confused though, was he saying that the massacre happened the day that they are performing in this vid? would be a record in songwritting if thats the case :P
The song was written by U2 about the shootings that occured in 1972 in Northern Ireland where 14 unarmed civil rights protesters were shot and killed. That massacre is called "bloody sunday" hence the name of the song. The Enniskillen bombing that Bono is talking about happened only about half an hour before the concert that is shown here. That is why Bono has so much emotion when he's singing it. This is by far my favorite version of this song!
Does anyone remember our shock and horror that morning of September 11, 2001? No more than 30 minutes before U2 took the stage here, a Rememberance Day Parade was bombed in the small town of Enniskillen Northern Ireland. Bono states before the video that it perhaps shouldn't be aired in the video they were making because of his reaction. But, I think it only added something more. As it says, 'How long must we sing this song?" and not just for Ireland anymore.
Wow very powerful song! this is the best version of it that I've ever heard! it gets me chills ...this is real music that comes from the heart and gets to the soul! U2 is definitely a timeless band...
My Irish part of the family comes from Galway. I am proud to be part Irish, Mexican, American, Cherokee, Aztec. My great-great grandma came over from Galway during the famine. I love being Irish! <3 ima go one day! Im getting a irish tattoo!
@xnecrophagousx No, I had plans to go a few times but things always came up. I was suppose to go when I was little to visit the house my great-grandma lived n while n Galway and a house n Limerick. & yea im also part mexican and I never been to mexico.
I've never loved Bono more than when I heard that rant leave his mouth. I get so pissed off on Saint Patrick's Day when Americans put on green, drink their Guiness, and call themselves Irish, then start calling for a united Ireland when they know absolutely nothing of the situation and it doesn't even affect them anyway. They don't live there and have never even been there, and they want more death just so they have something to rally to. Can't we just have some freaking PEACE for once, people?
@ThroughTheRain26 got a funny joke about irish-americans ... i heard this american comedian go " hey any irish-americans in the audience? we have something in common, i've never been to ireland either"
@ThroughTheRain26 unless someone's seen the ripped up streets of Belfast and falls road, unless they've walked the streets of Derry and seen the Sunday memorial....If they don't live in ireland even that is just a glimmer of what it's like. My sister, lived through the troubles...her boyfriend, and her adoptive parents did not. We were both born in Long beach, I live in the US and have been to Ireland thrice. She spent the last 15 years of her life in Belfast.
@ThroughTheRain26 St. Patrick's day has always irritated me. After hearin my sister's tales and walking those streets and knowing what happened to her...makes me wanna kick every loudmouthed bastard with a "Kiss me I'm irish" shirt square in the bollocks. I may be american, but I know the craic better than these green covered assholes chugging down their english brewed guinness and thinking Jameson is the only irish whiskey around. Bushmills is way better.
I would have to agree with you. I was born in London and my grandfather was Irish, but I am not Irish...I am English...However, I read posts by "Irish-American" (and “Irish-Australian”) who are living on land stolen by white Americans from the Native peoples and they cry loudly about “occupied Ireland”, a country most of them have never seen...However, they never seem to give a feck about the Native peoples in the USA (and Australia)...then again Native peoples are not white...
@dtkd100 that is a brilliant point! I hate the hypocrisy of irish-americans and irish-australians who hate the english. You're right they both live on land stolen from the native people. I will have to remember that!
@jonoessex bono speaks abou ira, and has never lived with terrorism, he has never suffered of the fear of being involved in one. For me his words are hypocrisy, only the one's ho have suffered from it can speak about it. For these words i'm not justifying all the horrible things that IRA and the british have done, but it is really easy to speak about something that you have never been involved.
@xerengueti Bono's fellow countrymen were dying in the north of ireland and he rightly said "no more". It is easy to talk about something you haven't been involved in. However what sort of a world would we live in if we didn't condemn violence just because we weren't personallly involved in the conflict.
@jonoessex i'm just saying that he acuses irish-americans of not knowing about the situaion people live in northern ireland, but he doesn't realize he's in the same position.
@xerengueti Well Bono is irish. I can assure you that he knows alot more about the situation than the ignorant irish-americans who were giving money to the IRA.
@jonoessex look, I live in barcelona, and although i have more idea than you about eta, I can't say anyithing about it, because there are things we do not see, from the terrorist side and from the governement side. It would be really easy from my part to say that all what eta is doing is bad and all what the governement is doing is good. Things are not balck or white. eta and ira have done terrible things, but they're not the only ones. And the people who can judge this are the northern irish.
@xerengueti Anyone anywhere in the world can and shoud form a judgement about conflicts in other parts of the world. You try to ascertain the facts the best you can then form a judgement.
@jonoessex Yes, but there are a lot of things that we do not know. For example, in the basc country, many people are tortured by the police, just because they think they might be part of ETA. They speak their own language, and just because they defense their right to do it, they are terrorist.
And me for example, I do not know what is the feeling of being in the street and be exposed at any time to be in middle of an attack, only people who live there know it. It's very easy to judge from far.
@xerengueti What are you talking about, you don't have to be on the front line of a situation in order to comment (sing) about it, Bono's life was threatened by the IRA for comments he made, Fuck the revolution.
@samspadexxx i'm just saying that he acuses irish-americans of not knowing about the situaion people live in northern ireland, but he doesn't realize he's in the same position.
@samspadexxx Which revolution? Irish just want they country back. Although I condemn violence, I condemn in both sides, remember that British before IRA exist made awful things, the oppressed the Irish and they continued to do it in the part that is still occupied.
But the English did something to keep the northern part, they sent a lot of Scottish protestants to occupy this zone so in all the referendums the result would be staying in Britain. Nobody speaks about all the Irish tortured, nobody.
@xerengueti actually that's not true one day when he was a kid he was late going to the bus to get to school. If he had been there on time he would have been killed by a suicide bomber
Politics has learnt nothing.... since the beginning man.... The main thing is what happens after the revolution... underneath the rubble lies the future... God save us from politics and religion....
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!".
i thank bono for telling it exactly how it is.im not british,im irish but i get so incensed every time i hear of someone whose grandparents or parents moved to america 30+ years ago talking out of their hole about how wonderful their so called freedom fighters are.who has to hear about these people and their awful deeds in the papers every day? not irish america.and what is most offensive is that they have gleefully put their hands in their pockets and funded the whole fucking thing for decades
wow.. so did any one actually watch this? this has got to be one of the shittiest performances a band has played live period. did anyone even listen to bonos spew?
@fnm1991 This maybe wasnt their best perfomance but you need to know that music 30 years ago wasnt the same as today.And in this specific song you can feel the emotion in it.and seriously guys.WHY PEOPLE HATE SO MUCH BONO?HE'S A MAN LIKE YOU FFS I CANT UNDERSTAND THIS.if you dont like this song then why have you clicked to watch it?go and listen to justin bieber if this music,THE RIGHT MUSIC,is shity to you dumbass.one of the 50 best songs of the planet and you call it shity...jesus...
Perhaps some of the Islamic suicide bombers should listen to Bono's mid song speech. Different times, ideals, war... but the theme still applies. Where is the glory?
i usually hate it when artists ramble on about political causes, but this is an exception. i don't think bono's ever commanded as much respect before or since
Songs like these are so important for never forgetting unacceptable wars and battles like the one in ireland. Thanks U2 for one of the most epic songs ever the last 50 years. U make the world a lttle better .
What's the glory in taking a man from his bed and gunning him down in front of his wife and his children?? Where is the Glory in that? Where's the glory in bombing a Remembrance Day parade of old-aged pensioners, their medals taken out and polished up for the day? Where's the glory in that?
Too many terrorisms pretending to fight for honorable causes. You are completely right man. Probably time will put them in the place they belong in history, but even if it doesn't, deep inside their souls they know how evil and despicable their actions were. That is a heavy burden they'll have to live with for the rest of their miserable lives.
Ireland did not Starve for potatoes; it starved for food
Britain's census figures for Ireland are correct , British govt murdered approximately 5.16 million Irish men, women and children from 1845-1850
70 shiploads/ day, removed At Gunpoint, by 200,000 British soldiers & Seized Food from Ireland's producers 10s of millions of head of livestock;grains, meat, poultry & dairy products; enough to sustain 18 million persons to make payment for rents due to absentee English Landlords.
Army concedes for first time it did not win the battle against the IRA
An internal British army document examining 37 years of deployment in Northern Ireland contains the claim by one expert that it Failed to defeat the IRA.
The admission is contained in a discussion document released by the Ministry of Defence after a request under the FOI Act.
It describes the IRA as "a Professional, Dedicated and Resilient force"
@freedumnevafree The second "No more!" after the short speech? It's microphonic feedback he had the mic in front of the monitor at the same time he shouted into it.
U2 is the definition of epic! The edge is an amazing guitarist. I love u2's music because it is real, its not some stupid hip hop where they just sing about booties and such. I get goosebumbs when I listen to u2.
@STVDEMON420 A Jackass in many ways, sure... but he's done more than you or I, for peace and the impoverished, a thousand times over and more... so until you can match his philanthropy, I'd at least give him the respect of allowing him to express his feelings of frustration... since so many share them. Could've been worse... they could've paid Zooropa tour prices. lolz
Put your hands in the sky, Put your hands in the air Turn this song into a prayer ... Put your hands in the sky, Put your hands in the air ... We not going back there No more, No more No More, No more No Paratroops No petrolbombs No UDA NO IRA we not going back there Put your hands in the sky, Put your hands in the air We thank the brave men Who made the brave choice 29 people...29 people to many
@milwyr Yes people look up to the IRA who fought genuine oppression in the war of independence, not the murderous thugs of the 70's & 80's who brought their name into disrepute. The IRA and the UFF are extinxt precisely because the vast majority of the Irish people rejected their pointless psuedo-religious war and demanded peace.
@Tapecutter59 I agree with you mate,the terrorists just used the "war" as a means to feather their own nests,i.e. control the bootleg diesel,drugs and prostitution scams.as an after thought though,two of those criminals are in the corridors of power now.
@SVTDEMON420 Jeez... take a page from your own book, and STFU. Bono's frustrations echoed the voice of millions of Irish and English and this song was that sentiment. Never has a song voiced my feelings of frustration like this song did. This isn't a freakin' pop song, and if that's all it is to you... please press the X in the top right.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@OrthodoxAtheist It was a rant, in the middle of a concert that people paid good money to see. This is a freaken pop song, by a psuedo Political idiot. Bono is a Jackass, and more Irish People should have the courage to say that.
The only speech Bono has ever made that meant something to me, it made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Unfortunately the rest of the time he talks utter shite.

I've never loved Bono more than when I heard that rant leave his mouth. I get so pissed off on Saint Patrick's Day when Americans put on green, drink their Guiness, and call themselves Irish, then start calling for a united Ireland when they know absolutely nothing of the situation and it doesn't even affect them anyway. They don't live there and have never even been there, and they want more death just so they have something to rally to. Can't we just have some freaking PEACE for once, people?

My sister, lived through the troubles...her boyfriend, and her adoptive parents did not. We were both born in Long beach, I live in the US and have been to Ireland thrice. She spent the last 15 years of her life in Belfast.

@ThroughTheRain26 St. Patrick's day has always irritated me. After hearin my sister's tales and walking those streets and knowing what happened to her...makes me wanna kick every loudmouthed bastard with a "Kiss me I'm irish" shirt square in the bollocks. I may be american, but I know the craic better than these green covered assholes chugging down their english brewed guinness and thinking Jameson is the only irish whiskey around.

I would have to agree with you. I was born in London and my grandfather was Irish, but I am not Irish...I am English...However, I read posts by "Irish-American" (and “Irish-Australian”) who are living on land stolen by white Americans from the Native peoples and they cry loudly about “occupied Ireland”, a country most of them have never seen...However, they never seem to give a feck about the Native peoples in the USA (and Australia)...then again Native peoples are not white...

@jonoessex bono speaks abou ira, and has never lived with terrorism, he has never suffered of the fear of being involved in one. For me his words are hypocrisy, only the one's ho have suffered from it can speak about it. For these words i'm not justifying all the horrible things that IRA and the british have done, but it is really easy to speak about something that you have never been involved.

@xerengueti Bono's fellow countrymen were dying in the north of ireland and he rightly said "no more". It is easy to talk about something you haven't been involved in. However what sort of a world would we live in if we didn't condemn violence just because we weren't personallly involved in the conflict.

@jonoessex look, I live in barcelona, and although i have more idea than you about eta, I can't say anyithing about it, because there are things we do not see, from the terrorist side and from the governement side. It would be really easy from my part to say that all what eta is doing is bad and all what the governement is doing is good. Things are not balck or white. eta and ira have done terrible things, but they're not the only ones. And the people who can judge this are the northern irish.

@xerengueti Anyone anywhere in the world can and shoud form a judgement about conflicts in other parts of the world. You try to ascertain the facts the best you can then form a judgement.
jonoessex 4 weeks ago
@jonoessex Yes, but there are a lot of things that we do not know. For example, in the basc country, many people are tortured by the police, just because they think they might be part of ETA. They speak their own language, and just because they defense their right to do it, they are terrorist.
And me for example, I do not know what is the feeling of being in the street and be exposed at any time to be in middle of an attack, only people who live there know it. It's very easy to judge from far.

@samspadexxx Which revolution? Irish just want they country back. Although I condemn violence, I condemn in both sides, remember that British before IRA exist made awful things, the oppressed the Irish and they continued to do it in the part that is still occupied.
But the English did something to keep the northern part, they sent a lot of Scottish protestants to occupy this zone so in all the referendums the result would be staying in Britain. Nobody speaks about all the Irish tortured, nobody.

Too many terrorisms pretending to fight for honorable causes. You are completely right man. Probably time will put them in the place they belong in history, but even if it doesn't, deep inside their souls they know how evil and despicable their actions were. That is a heavy burden they'll have to live with for the rest of their miserable lives.

Ireland did not Starve for potatoes; it starved for food
Britain's census figures for Ireland are correct , British govt murdered approximately 5.16 million Irish men, women and children from 1845-1850
70 shiploads/ day, removed At Gunpoint, by 200,000 British soldiers & Seized Food from Ireland's producers 10s of millions of head of livestock;grains, meat, poultry & dairy products; enough to sustain 18 million persons to make payment for rents due to absentee English Landlords.

Army paper says IRA Not defeated
July 2007, BBC UK
Army concedes for first time it did not win the battle against the IRA
An internal British army document examining 37 years of deployment in Northern Ireland contains the claim by one expert that it Failed to defeat the IRA.
The admission is contained in a discussion document released by the Ministry of Defence after a request under the FOI Act.
It describes the IRA as "a Professional, Dedicated and Resilient force"
