U2 - Beat On The Brat

[captainadam1]

Love U2, but the vocals really do this thing a disservice.

[queriassaber]

@altebaran Amen to that ^^

[lcacwelder]

Why does Bono need to cover the Ramones and Joy Division for that matter?

[over18]

if bono had more aggression in his vocals, i think this would've been a better cover.

[MadBmBr100]

the original is always the best

[jesuschrist1207]

realy what the fuck are faggots like u2 doing singing a ramones soneg

[victoroso]

@jesuschrist1207 the same thing that the faggot of joey ramone did when he died listening to "In a Little While" from U2, you idiot, they admired each other music!

[carvedinside82]

honestly i like it...i think his voic is fine with it lol its their own impression of the song...like U2 putting their own twist on it. They dont want it to sound exactly like the Ramones...that wouldn't be a "tribute" ..just copying. For example..on that same album...Marilyn Manson does "kkk took my baby away"...its nothing like the original lol but it's his own version of the song.....power to them right? lol

[cpinto72]

hes trying too hard and hes irish accent doesnt do it lol....

Be like Joey trying to sing With or W/O You

[rncb1977]

finally bono and the band made ir into punk they tried in their early days by failed now they can play the song but they dont feell what is all about. love bobo and u2 but cav

[MysticKnight77]

Bono credited early Punk Rock for his beliefs. He said true rebellion is being who you are and what you are.

[MysticKnight77]

This isn't a good version of this song however, coming from Bono and U2 it is from their heart. U2 has credited the Ramones for their own existence. They said it was from an early Ramones concert in Europe that they decided to form a band.

[TheJohnny990]

@MysticKnight77 it's pretty good it's just tht bono duznt sing it the way joey duz. it's different. it's better than metallica covering the Ramones lol. James Hetfield tries 2 sing like joey

[RossM3838]

@MysticKnight77 the feeling was mutual. At his request, Joey (Jeff) was listening to U2 recordings when he passed away. I have read that when U2 heard this they were profoundly moved.

[Themightyblunghole]

@nerualyram Beat on the Bono Beat on the Bono beat on the bono with something that rymes with Bono

[nerualyram]

@noizy83 :) and im a girl, ha ;)

[DarrylCross]

Yeah, just doesn't have the kind of energy that makes you think of beating on a brat with a baseball bat would have. Maybe a light poking or a tap at best.

[HellVomit09]

lol i think its actually pretty good.

[captainclayman]

his voice is too good for punk.

[calboy64]

he is a punk ,your a cock

[TechnoJelly]

@calboy64 bono's a punk? BONO is a PUNK?

hahahaha

[comedian618]

Yup, and a ferry too.

[manconoo]

'Irish Wanker"

couldn't be just wanker had to be IRISH wanker. Daft anti Irish racist from the UK. Go figure.

[RockstarRacc00n]

Yes. IRISH. They're bad and taking our jobs.  HEIL HITLER.

[samarchist]

effing slughtered a good song

[clublife32]

I actually like it.

[jazzfactorygroup]

The music is good, but the vocals are terrible...

[Elfenstein1313]

Bono can't sing for shit. Irish Wanker.

[uniplantboy]

i agree

[grundy901]

@RockstarRacc00n ave u heard vertigo,even better than the real thing,desire,holdme thrillme kissme kill me?????

[RockstarRacc00n]

I'm sorry, I don't know what language you are typing in, but I do not understand it. >:|

[mirk182]

The U2's sound is better because the ramones play in the '70 and the u2 in '90....but the ramones are best!

(i'm not english XD)

[punkjack08]

ok look i love the ramones but i like this better than theirs the ramones will forever rule

[ADTNMusic]

you like U2's better...........why?

[punkjack08]

no offense to Ramones but this is better

[bigherm5]

It's good except for the singing.

[IrrelevantProtest]

'only u2 can make this song sound inspiring'- what about the ramones guys? their version is the definitive one

[Primitivebastard]

ugh this cover sucks donkey balls

[miguel6knd8]

you're a fucking asshole you know it?

[Raydeeds]

Only U2 could make this song sound so inspiring...

[geldofpunk]

Indeed.

[raunchboy]

Not as bad as I thought it'd be. Sounds like the Buzzcocks, particularly the Edge's guitar playing.

[jesselakerr]

thaNK YOU

[Henrykater]

I don't think some people get it. The bands were asked to perform a Ramones song in their own style, it wasn't meant to sound like the Ramones but like in this case U2. Green day, chrissie hynde, RHCP, Metallica usw also did covers but in their own style - nobody was trying to copy the Ramones - nobody could!

[daviddowns81]

maybe so, but still... who asks U2 to be on a punk compilation in the first place

[Henrykater]

Johnny Ramone.

[frostflow]

reminds me of U2 of the 90's

during ZooTV U2 could do anything and it sounded and looked cool they were on some next shit

[killBillFromTH]

its good but..

its not RAMONES

[zacho2002]

Hello U2!

Play some more punk!

[cousinbalbi]

The voice is all wrong, but its still ok. The ramones are still the best.

[carimbadormaluco]

respeito a opnião de todos, mas, ficou chato essa versão!

[EVHSlightReturn]

How do you say... Douchebags?

[037016]

Beat on the brat!!!

[desasterz]

The ramones and U2, two ausome bands hat a lot of pepole hate...

[alecchocolate]

i like the ramones version betta but the guitar and drums etc. sound almost the same

[ugotpimp]

i like the ramones and HATE U2 but this version is better.

shit i hate to say that

[rongatai]

I respect your honesty, mate. Dont agree though

[MrU2man]

U2 awsome band. there fucking fantastic. a hemroid isnt ay

[BunchofMovieVideos]

Yeah U2 are amazing.

What does "a hemroid isnt ay" mean srry?

[BunchofMovieVideos]

Awesome, prefer it to The Ramones version, no apology!!

[A2Z83]

Gabba Gabba Hey! Ramones Tribute had better bands on it.

[HaydnRamone]

it aint all that bad...

[whatistheretotype]

I love them but they are the self-proclaimed worlds worst cover band although their cover of Helter Skelter is good

[alessandradelpiero16]

<3 u2 & THE RAMONES <3 best bands ever

keep on fighting 4 world peace!!!

love and prosperity!

[RoxRancid]

Ramones' Beat On The Brat kick ass!

[skattie22]

why care whether it is good, sounds the same, or whatever nonsense. i feel proud that these bands took the time to pay homage to the band of brudders

[geckoremmington]

anyone who has accidentally faceplanted upon this dosh-scalping inspiration-fleecing robbing-the-blind cak will feel the immense pain i do which has driven me in fact to write this comment. U2? Not dead? by twat seeking missile?....

[sexpistols1993]

love this song

[mellenpodz]

yea Bono has a good voice, i just really am not feeling it for this song, i Love it the Ramones way...

[MondoGroovey]

eh....not for me....dont really like bono's voice for the song too much...

i perfer the ramones...

all the way

[blitzgeistgott]

I totally agree man but gotta respect the bands who performed for the Ramones tribute album, i mean none of them actually tried being the Ramones, they did it in their own way.

[MondoGroovey]

woah...i didn't know there was a ramones tribute album. thats cool!

[daviddowns81]

theres only about 6 now

[arielita45]

good cover,but that's just not it.

[catcherintherye15]

Some of those images of Bono with shades and a leather jack, makes me think of Joey ^__^.

Good cover! it's feel-good!

[iliycheva]

CLASSIC BAND SONG LEGEND

[1776freedom]

Great song. Bono and U2 do it too slow. I miss Johnny Ramone's speed playing.

[drozolala1]

eh doesnt work for them

[Juanooooo2]

a mi en particula me encanta tanto ramones como u2, y la version por lo tanto me encanto..che ya fue no intentan imitar a los ramones solo es un tributo..

cual hay?? y que pretenden que a bono se le ponga la misma vos que a joey?.. son dos voces diferentes...

aguante el punk , aguante el rock!!!!

[danterinaldi]

Yeah! Ramones is Argentina´s number 1. everyone should cover Ramones!

[archerofdoom]

YEAH DUDE RAMONES #1 IN ARGENTINA!

[sleezboy]

wow, how weird this is! I like it it though!

[Sasukingu]

I dont like this cover, is much U2.

Ramones still best.

[thiago00cesar]

That was one of the few Ramones cover that is good.

[4sst]

just let go bono!

[casey8899]

Well, I love U2, but, maybe they shouldn't have covered THIS Ramones song though. Hell, a Ramones song is a Ramones song though, eh?

[paradigma00]

yeaaaahhhhhhh

rocerrrr

ramones

[peroxidie]

I usually don't like covers, but this is I think pretty good. Of course the Ramones version is much better, but this is ok.

[mysteriousmartian]

Love this version so much, thank you!

[drummerinSD]

ramones version is much better, but this ones good too!

[U2NewSongs]

This is so great, thanks!!

[FriedEggsandChips]

I like this song, I never heard it before now. I don't know the Ramones work too well but this is cool. I like it when U2 do something so different to their own work!

[scruffyskates]

bono is singing it like he would never beat on anybody haha

[GP1138]

Leave it to Bono to overdo a Ramones tune.

[32INCHSTRIPER]

Exactly...He sounds very girly...

[rockufaler]

RAMONES

[alyzanotto]

nice sakoaKOSKOKOSAK

[Lefraw212]

not bad. but not as good as the ramones. ramones for life.

[buzzmeister1983]

no where near as good as the ramones but a pretty good tribute. at the end of the day if it sounded just like the ramones ppl would moan they just totaly ripped it off. im not a u2 fan in any way shape or form but i could listen to this and enjoy it over and over.

only 1 thing to say THE RAMONES RULE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

[holyjoe7]

Well first of all, I'm rather sure that the word you were looking for was "stealing". if you want to call someone stupid, it helps if you, yourself know how to spell...just a thought. second, if you had anything that could be considered a clue, you would know that was a general response to those calling u2 "overrated song stealers". inparticular THISISEXODUS.

thank you for playing

[SandSlasher14]

it sounds contradictory... but frightening good

go bono!! go Ramones!!!!

[Ercomico]

bad tribute no one sings like the leader of ramones and master of the world

[JordanSingle66]

why do they even try?

[Jacobo57]

they trie cause they are amazing. but ur rite they ruined this song

[randomtree7]

presonally i didnt like bono's way he was singing it he sugar coated it too much but guitar and bass were good

[lurkingchicken]

Didnt sound like the person who would ever beat on anyone.

[BEANSKEEZ]

Without the Ramones, U2 would not be a band.

When U2 went to the recording studio for the first time, to audition, they played three Ramones songs and got it!

[sabresfan76]

pretty good cover

[BrandonBailey95]

its a pretty good tribute

[FiskPerra]

...well i don't know what to say but still Ramones does this x100000 times better, now don't hate me 4 saying this but u2 should really not play punk xD sound like hes gay XD hahahaha now hate spam me ^^

[miisu]

This is good.

[LetsGoMetsGo33]

I like some U2 alot, and respect them for doing this cover. Its not the best though. The Edge's guitar on the verses mimics Johnny Ramone's and who needs to hear him do that? And Bono's church type vocals on this are a weird fit for the tune. Their live version of "I remember you" was much better.

[bloodysnowreaper]

sounds like hes having an orgasm lmao

[GinkyGinky]

wow i'm the 14.000th viewer of this video...

[fsorrentino81]

Complimenti!! :)

[GinkyGinky]

lol... grazie :P

[holyjoe7]

while it may not be the best version in the world, it is a cover. the idea of a cover is to put your own spin on it, otherwise its just shite

extra tidbit: joey ramone was a huge fan of

u2 and 'all that you cant leave behind' was the last album joey heard in his life.

the point being to all of you 'haters' (as the kids like to say)when he died he was listening to a band that he inspired.

says alot about ur idol

[THISISEXODUS]

over-rated song stealers! RAMONES OWN THIS SONG!!!

[OhDoyProductions]

vocals = garbage

[MaximumThePuppy]

The only good thing about the Ramones Beat On The Brat was the guys voice and how he said Ohh yeah Ohh Yeah OOhOHoo. This just sounds FAGGOT.

[MetalGuruAR]

Of course you've got to be Joey, it´s the only way that a song like Beat On The Brat does not sound like absolute nonsense.

The good thing about this song, and practically all of the Ramones songs at the first years of the band, was that they could commit the crime of absolute nonsense and get away with it. No one else will ever be able to.

[kylebakersanangelo]

worst cover ever

[federicodavidebricio]

OMG ugly!!!

[fakuRHCP]

este estilo a U2 no le va

[griffin324]

it sounds like he's singing while having sex....

[btrainiscool]

bad bono. baaaad bono.

[chumsyalibumsy09]

U2 should just go away they suck and all they do is cover songs and not make original suck one U2

[JamieErwin1986]

That is not U2 I know UB40 always cover songs

[manfromgump]

Yeah, Bad, New Years Day and I Will Follow were covers of which band?

[chumsyalibumsy09]

o yeah a gay band known as U2 and u all know they like to suck fat ones

[vhuskey]

chumcrud:

i bet you wish you had a fat one then, huh?

[xxxtheramonesxxx]

this is pretty good but the ramones kick theyre asses

[katar13]

Pretty good but I still like the original a lot better

[ohgreatitskatexx]

the original is a million times better.

[Icarusdecending82]

this cover is almost like having saurkraut as a topping for pizza...it just doesnt work.

[Clebertj]

Very Cool...is Very FUNNY LOL!!!HUAHUAHuhauhUAHuhuahuahu­aha

[Slapshot0Videos]

great song man

[Kiz2000]

Does anyone know where I can download this? Cheers!

[galletametralleta]

muy buena esta version y muy gracioso el video

[thgil567]

Dee Dee Ramone was the only one who died of drugs. . . plus what does drugs have to do with how good any of them were? Also both are awesome bands so Ramone haters and U2 haters, shut your mouth and go look at something else so we won't have to read your crap.

[1967PONTIACGTO]

I think this is a very inventive cover. It captures a "T-Rex" thing that I'd never heard in the song before. I bet Joey would have loved it.

[ClueSign]

Good comment, nice point about T-Rex!

[Cartellatino]

Bono sounds really Gay in this song. In the part: Oh oh oh.... what can you do?, dammit.

[alvaro13x]

ke demonios es esto !!!!

[Cartellatino]

un tributo a los Ramones

[everyonehasaids8888]

Not bad at all but I definitely prefer the orginal Ramones version.

[twoube]

U2 has always been wannabes. First this lame version of a a great Ramones tune. Bono is NOT Joey Ramone.

(Likewise, Bono is a poseur political figurehead)

[Spetznaz]

he does good things and ramones dies by drugs. Anyway, I like U2 and Ramones music also. And by the way, also Ramones sing songs not made by them, like Needls & Pins.

[solittle40]

just remember that Joey Ramone listened to U2's "In A Little While" while on his death bed. If he loved their music, then give them some respect.

[GrizzlyBear2k6]

Also, remember that the album was made as a tribute to the Ramones, so stop slating every damn cover on that album, and show some respect to one of the best punk bands ever.

Personally, I think this is a bloody good cover considering U2 aren't punk, and after all, its only a cover.

[vhuskey]

twooube:

no, everyone wannabe u2!

also, this type of criticisms come from people who obviously don't understand the first thing about what punk is.

[fsorrentino81]

However talk of cover rather than who is better or worse! These speeches do not make sense!

[Kiz2000]

I disagree with everyone else on here-this version is far better than the original Ramones one. I think U2's style is better that The Ramones one and it's just a lot better to listen to.

[Kiz2000]

What the fuck are you talking about? U2 are the best rock band of all time! Don't dis them!

[fsorrentino81]

Ahahahah we make only laugh ... U2 are the history of rock!

[crazyxorebecca]

omg this is bullshit..seriously U2 sucks on it's own but then it has to go and fuck up other bands stuff..completly horrible...gah

[fsorrentino81]

But let us not laugh! U2 are the best!

[rawcatslyentist]

Sounds like someone beat on Bono with a bat! The band sounds good, nice interp. The vocals dont pass though.
