Erm, think about this one guys ... the song is written by Neil Young and sung here by Bono. Hardly paid up members of the KKK. The song gets inside the heads of racists, it doesn't agree with them. Have you never heard of irony?
@Nickyb567 Yeah, they wrote a song about that, called Sunday Bloody Sunday (which is not about how frustrating Sundays can be) back when we *were* killing each other. Read a paper, that war is over. I'm not defending this performance, it *is* shit, but we all make arses of ourselves from time to time. Don't we?
Maybe he should sing about how his irishmen are killing each other right now instead of slavery that is none of his business to be criticizing and happened over a century ago
This was not in 1981 but in March 1987, the day The Joshua Tree came out. They showed 2 maybe 3 songs on OGWT that night but a few more recorded, including this shocking version of Southern Man, Pride and Curtis Mayfield's People Get Ready.
People, Bono NEVER butchers a song! However, since he didn't write it, there is no way he would be able to sing it with the feeling with which he would sing something he wrote.
Talk about ' artistic license ', Lilly Belle had a sex change to Billy Joe, LOL , I think they got the chords right at least , hahaha, . If your'e gonna steal, show some respect !
Bono..you're a twat.

Dude, it was just a random live 'cover'. Not meant in any way to be perfect at all. It's called 'having fun'.

Nothing wrong with that, however, even U2 admit that they themselves are not good and that they cannot figure out why they are famous.

lacks all the intensity of the original. Not bad, might've been better if he'd had an audience to feed off of.
