Love is Blindness - Jack White // U2 Cover

[mortuseon]

Prefer a lot of Jack White's other work, but this is nevertheless a great track.

[bottleracket]

by faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar best cover on the album - maybe best interpretation of a song ever.

[reditch]

WTF? Comm on Jack!!!

[theWARMJET]

sounds like U2 in the 60's to me

[fennecby]

reminds me of Jeff Buckley.

especially around 2:32.

intense.

[GBLYBY]

Huge U2 fan too.. This song has always been my favourite from them, especially the version live from Sydney. But i love this, in my opinion, he takes all the best elements from the song, and improves them!

[MoviesFromG]

Amazing amazing cover. Beyond words for me really. Does it top the original? Hell to the fucking yeah!

Jack White is a modern legend. That skrieky guitar solo: that is how you do it! So much raw emotion flowing through this music, it's incredible.

[spot1333]

LOVE IS BLINDNESS!!! scream it, Jack! YEAH

[LalalaDanie]

COOL little guitarsolo!!!!

[marikio22]

I love U2...LOved U2 Since their "WAR" days.LOVED this song since i first heard it on Achtung Baby...But.......Im sorry Jack White,,,I know you are a talented guy...but i really can not stand this version...On Achtung...Its a slow passionate song...Jack just does not do it justice.

[rockcityaudio]

@Lucifersteapot thanx for your comment.Yeah songs do grow on you sometimes but I honestly think that this guy is overrated,still I'm 47 and an old geezer.but I still believe that some kids on youtube have more talent than the likes of him,its just luck at getting media exposure.

[rockcityaudio]

i don't think its very good actually.

[Lucifersteapot]

@rockcityaudio I think it's better every time I listen to it... The first time I just thought it was another side-project that didn't turn out too well, but I've come back a few times and liked it more.

[henribanks]

look at the edge

this the way you sing this song not rape it !!!

[danakerman]

@henribanks Bono sings this song, not Edge. And, in my opinion, Jack White is one of the only singers today who can match Bono's intensity of feeling and delivery. I love this cover for its raw intensity. It pays great tribute to the original, and, to be honest, isn't that great a departure from the original.

[chat099]

Achtung Baby!

[78monka]

Genial version, i think that is the best cover from this CD!!!

[ranzizam]

@78monka that's true, other songs aren't so passionate or they lack that personal touch, that will transform them to something new.. sadly..

[JuhnaNemiko]

Jack White once challenged the sun to a staring contest, the sun was blind after five seconds.

[JamezShepherd]

Jack White understands music. It's not what you hear, it's what you feel - standing in a shower with music beating through the wall of the next room.

[EvyValPam]

Fantastic!! Great version!!

[jakeenan]

Great version of a classic song. A song that can be served-up from various stages of a Love. The Edge's version was the being spat out of the other side of it & sitting there in a mess. His non-solo- one of my favs of all time: a right here we go....wait...you know what? F*ck it...I'm a loved-out solo.

Jack's version kinda feels like its delivered not long after the jump into the vortex of desire, madness & beauty of a love.

I'm sure there could be 2 or 3 other story-point versions of it.

[constellchicken]

rip jack white...

[BillyCrombie]

@constellchicken do NOT do that to me

[constellchicken]

@BillyCrombie trolllololol

[wideheadofknowledge]

Jack White is the new Hendrix. He's THAT important.

[R4inbowEyes]

@wideheadofknowledge not hendrix, but ..

[GordonFreeman90]

@wideheadofknowledge Hendrix was Hendrix. White is White. Comparisons are lame, to me.

He's one of the most powerful and talented rockers of our times. '00s rock and roll wouldn't have sense without his influence. Capable of bringing back the old r'n'r soul, forsaken throughout the decades from the '80s on. I'll be proud, one day, to say "I lived when JW was kicking asses" and "I started playing guitar because of him".

Hard touch, deep feeling

(I'm a huge fan of his music, guess you got it lol)

[darthsadic]

@wideheadofknowledge no, he is not. he is Jack White.

[wideheadofknowledge]

@darthsadic da dum tsh.

[DonBigalow]

@wideheadofknowledge Why you think jack is the new Jimi?

[wideheadofknowledge]

@DonBigalow He's prodigiously talented, he cares about his art, he can write a fucking TUNE and his live performances are simply electrifying. I can't think of anyone who even comes close.

[ele523]

@wideheadofknowledge Gary Clark Jr is the new jimi Hendrix check him out!!! you will be seeing more of him soon. Wipes Jack hands down.

[AlissaCollett]

I want to have sex with this song

[SexyManatee2121]

Excellent. He just made me like this song

[BellatrixIsFuckingMe]

@7da7n37 If not, there is a possibility to order the magazine from the UK as far as I know :) 

[7da7n37]

Great cover. I really hope we can get this CD in Canada...

[amadeus1756]

@7da7n37 You can order off of U2.com right now, well it's a pre-order but they are making it available on their site. I have it and the entire thing is really, really, good....

[7da7n37]
