Let`s look up close at this vid. I found something little disturbing.
We can see a dummy with skull head which is dressed up like the king of pop used to. For example @ 1:53. What`s making this symbol stranger is the fact that almost every time it appears again there`s at least one african woman. Strange. Enough speculations.
In fact this video aired just few months before MJ`s death.

i sent my crazy drunk lesbian stripper friend to see u2 in chicago last year and she was so wasted she passed out in the stands and never saw them . i think she should stop drinking.....
This band is very political...though they rock and there riffs are their own...and the bass lines are out there...yes,but do you know what U2 is trying to say to their Fans...?
i am a big edge fan-and in a way this song, when i first heard it, let me down a bit. but i do admit, it has started to grow on me quite a bit, the intro is catchy, but it doesn't sound like the usual edge riffs. that aside, this song is quite different form normal U2-but hats off to them for trying something quite different.
Some of you take music too seriously! The first time I heard this song I was in the car and wanted to dance! It's fun and sounds "sexy." If you can't rock and dance and jump around, perhaps you won't like it. I put it on in my high school classroom and they agreed it sounded fun and that was 15-17 year olds! Remember, it's music. If you don't like it, that's okay. God forbid that we all like the same things. How boring life would be.
some of the old U2 stuff is allright, but this is shit, what's more is that it implies that Bono has lost all sense meaning, i mean come on- Sexy Boots?
I understand that people like different things. You'll get two types of U2 fans: those who can make the jump to their new stuff and love it, and those who can't.
I am unfortunately one of those people that can't, and I really don't think it's going to grow on me. That still entitles me to comment.
Some say that you have to stand in it and smell it before you know that it is shit that you've just stepped in. I unfortunately stumbled on this shit.

this shit is fucking gay - if I tried to put how much I hate U2 in words, I would shit my pants. So I won't. But srsly. They fuckin' suck, god damn. How could anyone like this crap?
Fully agree. I like this a great deal. I'm always amazed how easily someone can criticize another, when they themselves have no ability other than to criticize others... If they think they can do better, then post it and let us see how great they are...

This song seriously sucks. I think they should quit while they are ahead or do some more of what they used to do. This is just crap noise - a jumble of raucous instruments clashing ie. shit.
this song is slowly growing on me. long time since they could write songs based on expierience but are getting more musical knowledge the longer they go on. if your such an expert, how come your not very rich from music? they have earned it from being a small band to someone who might just influence people in power. think about that when your not sitting in your shanty or being tortured
If this was a newand up coming band this shit wouldn't get any air play on the radio. Because its U2 people say its awesome. Bono trying to sing random words in random notes to the same old boring U2 rifts.
Both of you nutcases Northern chump and walsh bender are so ... off the mark to be honest, its Oasis through and through, sorry to shatter your ideas but radiohead are shit and U2 are just a band made of OAPs.
Sorry, I forgot about Oasis, the Beatles cover band that gets shitfaced and wants to fight each other. I forgot that Champange Supernova will go down as one of the greatest songs off all time. Twat!
that wanker makes more money than you do, and ever will. Plus, Radiohead is a totally different genre, so that's like comparing you to a normal person. Bono's at the rock star end of the spectrum. Your at the other end.
I wasn't the person that started comparing the two bands, but yeah i totally agree that the 2 are NOTHING like each other. Radiohead are clever musicians, U2 are just ugly boring pop music. Like what the fuck is this song all about? Sexy Boots? I mean, if a band thats unknown wrote this song it would be laughable. It just generally doesn't make sense to me.
And Bonos at the rock star end of the spectrum? Mate i think you've just made my day, the blokes a fuckwit. Watch him singing "Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own", he looks like a total idiot.
I guess Edge doesnt carry anything since they have sold more then 140 million albums to 30 million from Radiohead. Oh, shit, U2 is in the rock and roll hall of fame. Thom Yorke is in the bus stop blow job hall of fame next to your name.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
look face it mate, U2 fucking suck so bad. No need to chuck insults at me, just try and open your eyes or something to real music instead of boring old 50 year olds doing the same old boring pentatonic shit.
Also do you really think that U2 getting into the rock 'n' roll hall of fame makes them a good creative band? You really do need to open your eyes mate.
The thing you cant face Old Chum is that when you are the standard and at the top it is easy for wannabes like Radiohead and Coldplay fans to take popshots. Tell me, if U2 does the same old shit, what the fuck does Radiohead do different? Same old droning shit about being depressed about Heroin addiction, Creep is the only sond I have heard that is any good. The rest is blah blah blah blah. Same old shit is right. At least U2 tries something different.
MY GOD! YOUR TRYING TO SAY THAT U2 DO SOMETHING MORE DIFFERENT THAN RADIOHEAD?!
Radiohead have done a multitude of different things, for instance, Hail to the Thief mixed two very opposing genres perfectly into one. Electronica (Eg Aphex Twin) and also Industrial (Eg Nine Inch Nails).
Also i don't think i've ever heard a U2 song that isn't in 4/4. Radiohead mix timings so much, Paranoid Android mixs 3 i think? Also 15 Step is in 5/4, which is a pretty mad timing.
Radiohead have also tried different genres, for example Amnesiac was completely Electronic.
Now the music half the time uses notes that should clash, but somehow work in the music which to me is a very interesting thing. This is mostly down to Johnny Greenwoods very unique way of playing, to me though the Edge seems to enjoy the pentatonic scale a little too much.
But tbh i'm getting a bit tired of arguing with you, i enjoyed it but its wearing a bit thin now.
I'm a massive radiohead AND U2 fan. And to say U2 have not mixed things up in terms of Genre is just so incorrect. You got punk/post punk/raw rock in boy/october/war, ambient, almost post-rock music in the unforgettable fire, gospel/soul rock coming through in joshua tree, american roots rock in rattle and hum, then a complete change with Achtung Baby - industrial/electronic rock. Zooropa, dance, ambient. AND HAVE YOU HEARD THE PASSENGERS ALBUM? that sounds more like a boards of canada album ffs
Also, POP you got more electronic, dark rock, then more meanstreamy with ALYCLB and Atomic Bomb. The new album has sections of ambient brilliance on it, but I dont class this song as one of them, its not even that good. Saying all this, I mean no disrespect to radiohead, as they are one of my favourite bands. Awesome songwriters, but U2 have been, throughout their career, pushing their own boundries in terms of musical genre and form.
i used rock star loosely. to me, someone who is paid to sing in a popular band is a rock star, because they live the life of one. that's what I meant. Not like actual, trashing hotel room rock stars.
How the fuck does radiohead own U2 in album sales? I fucking love radiohead but I can't deny that 30 million sales does not own 170 million sales. Unless you have some disease or mental difficulty which deludes your sense of quantity, in which case I deeply apologize, you're talking shite mate.
Vive U2 !!!!

MY GOD! YOUR TRYING TO SAY THAT U2 DO SOMETHING MORE DIFFERENT THAN RADIOHEAD?!
Radiohead have done a multitude of different things, for instance, Hail to the Thief mixed two very opposing genres perfectly into one. Electronica (Eg Aphex Twin) and also Industrial (Eg Nine Inch Nails).
Also i don't think i've ever heard a U2 song that isn't in 4/4. Radiohead mix timings so much, Paranoid Android mixs 3 i think? Also 15 Step is in 5/4, which is a pretty mad timing.

Radiohead have also tried different genres, for example Amnesiac was completely Electronic.
Now the music half the time uses notes that should clash, but somehow work in the music which to me is a very interesting thing. This is mostly down to Johnny Greenwoods very unique way of playing, to me though the Edge seems to enjoy the pentatonic scale a little too much.
But tbh i'm getting a bit tired of arguing with you, i enjoyed it but its wearing a bit thin now.

Enjoy what you enjoy and i'll do the same. But please don't try and say that U2 are a more creative band cuz that shit just ain't right.

I'm a massive radiohead AND U2 fan. And to say U2 have not mixed things up in terms of Genre is just so incorrect. You got punk/post punk/raw rock in boy/october/war, ambient, almost post-rock music in the unforgettable fire, gospel/soul rock coming through in joshua tree, american roots rock in rattle and hum, then a complete change with Achtung Baby - industrial/electronic rock. Zooropa, dance, ambient. AND HAVE YOU HEARD THE PASSENGERS ALBUM? that sounds more like a boards of canada album ffs

Also, POP you got more electronic, dark rock, then more meanstreamy with ALYCLB and Atomic Bomb. The new album has sections of ambient brilliance on it, but I dont class this song as one of them, its not even that good. Saying all this, I mean no disrespect to radiohead, as they are one of my favourite bands. Awesome songwriters, but U2 have been, throughout their career, pushing their own boundries in terms of musical genre and form.

i used rock star loosely. to me, someone who is paid to sing in a popular band is a rock star, because they live the life of one. that's what I meant. Not like actual, trashing hotel room rock stars.

How the fuck does radiohead own U2 in album sales? I fucking love radiohead but I can't deny that 30 million sales does not own 170 million sales. Unless you have some disease or mental difficulty which deludes your sense of quantity, in which case I deeply apologize, you're talking shite mate.
