U2 - Don't Take Your Guns to Town

[MrTomodon]

i think they are joking

[tommywm24]

This is awful...and I like U2. Funny thing is i'm sure the band would hate this if they saw this all these years later.

[nielsenmt]

I am a huge U2 & Johnny Fan. Love Reggae too- if tha's what they're trying to do. I have to admit this sucks! Some things just don't mix like chocolate and peanut butter. One positive note: Edge has a tasty bit of arpeggiated guitar there near the end though- should use it somewhere else. Guess it's the reward for listing to the first couple of minutes of drivel.

[4rednecks3]

What they did to that song, Thats just disrespectful....

[beeeyesun]

it's like they're on valium. this is torture. chinese torture test worthy. can you imagine......drip...don't take it to....dripp...blah blah blah...dripp. dripp.....24/7.....

[beeeyesun]

i never use this, but, WTDF?! this is awful.

U2 lost it a long time ago.

what BS

[Zootopic]

@ProfesorCostello no es algo nuevo, tiene más de 10 años. Es de la época de Pop o de All That You Can't Leave Behind.

Por otro lado, U2 sí tiene buenos covers. Este es el peor de todos. Unchained Melody, Can't Help Falling In Love y Satellite of Love son algunos de los buenos.

Saludos!

[RobGlaves]

this is the worst ever rehash of a johnny cash song. U2 u suck balls, just retire your done i managed to make it to the end just so i could give a proper evaluation. I evaluate it as a piece of shit

[ShawneeJonL]

made it to 0.22

[beeeyesun]

@ShawneeJonL ... ha ha...I think I've made if further, but it's only because I've distracted by the amount of U2 dissent.....jhahahah....go to bed u2

[R0SECR0IX]

I don't understand....I love Johnny Cash, love this song, love reggae, like U2....but....but....but....

[Chance1000]

wow i made it to 1:00.. I think I got farther than most.. I can't believe I even stumbled upon this. I think it might of ruined my night

[webwombel]

Wow, how can a great band like U2, turn an awesome song of a great artist like Johnny Cash into an odd ugly reggae-like song? Fail.

[AlexanderHamilton007]

Usually imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. However, in this case, the imitation fell far short of the original. Which is quite a shame b/c this song is one of my many fav-o-rite Johnny Cash songs.

[duaneyo1]

This cover sucks the fat baby's....

[JusRam1]

Horrible, just awful. U2 really knows how to rape a song!

[MartinColchester]

nice try, but FAIL!!!!

[JaketheSnake247]

[thamuddler]

[Killian102]

ah lads........ jaysus whats this?

[TheShooterhank]

u2 has always been one of my favorite bands but come on , this sucks . nice try ! expect more than what you did here ! johnny wouldnt like that!

[kawicrash]

A band will usually put their signature on a cover song, and U2 has in fact done that here.

Because U2 SUCKS ASS, this version does too. :p GAG!!

[kompjutr]

remake sucks as bono sucks himself...

[IronHarper]

That's not a cover. that's a butchery.

[HajrudinPranjga]

like u2 but this sucks

[MuddyG]

Wow. I like U2, and I like cover songs. I was prepared to think everyone else was wrong. But this SUCKS. And The Edge looks like an extra from Brokeback Mountain.

[mattressjedi]

@MuddyG

Ive never been much of a fan of u2's covers. Theyve never done an exceptional job at other people's tunes.

[Goindeff]

Yeah this is really bad....Plug your ears Johnny we're so sorry!

[barxracer]

Bono sucks dogbalz.  Johnny Cash is rolling over in his grave you ass.

[dragons3333]

wow just wow how can you do that to a johnny cash song

i think i could have done a better job and i have no musical talent at all

[3gdc2]

wooooww! this shit sucks!!!!

[synorz]

he fucked up the song what a dick

[ztube247]

ggggggaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy­yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[wolfamon]

[Charliebird87]

Damn right! Couldn't think of a better word for it!

[1CroHrc1]

Poor !!!!!!!!!

[ricardoatzin]

Johnny Cash is the man, this sucks!

[Kecksdose21]

[DeaDTeD100]

[shapalag]

Real Irish shit!

[SuperTravisbickle]

@DeaDTeD100 you beat me. I only made it to 24

[sittnonchrome]

@DeaDTeD100 i made it to 16

[aeiownu95]

by far U2's worst song

[graz8818]

none of you fucking people know what you're talking about. it's a cover. cash did plenty of them himself.

[jacoff1973]

Dont disgrace the man you fucking dick!

[timStarr27]

wow that was fucked up bono step away from the mic and let johnny cash rest in peace

[ltaffz]

que merda, estragaram a música u.u

[ihatekopitesforever]

naaa too slow, boring naaa not good guys not good

[0justbelieve0]

nope. cant do that to his song.

[gknsintermetals]

Not good at all.I don`t think Johnny Cash would have honestly liked it either.They tried to make it there own and blew it. you should be more carefull when trying to cover a ledgend, and no I dont hate Bono, or U2, i`m just sure they could`ve done better.

[NCLUSA]

Why would anyone put such a thing up for people to see?.

[SunsetScotty]

Ugh. This is simply vomitous.

[MiseryCradle]

they massacred this song.

[gildo9]

How other can I say THIS BLOWS

[JakeViciousPB]

Nah, even if i like reggae 'n stuff I don't like this version.

[jpanson]

I actually liked this version.. not as much as the original.. but it was an interesting take on the song. The one in this special that I did like more than the original was Dave Matthews and Emmilou Harris singing "The Long Black Veil" That was amazing... and I don't really care for either of them usually.

[jhayes5791]

who let the homos fag up a perfectly good song. u2 sucks all around and believe me ive really tried to like them.

[0474unit]

Fuckin Butchered it!

[patriotplus]

You know what - we're in big trouble. Keep your guns. Study the second amendment of the U.S. constitution. There is only one way to survive, and that is YOU. Listen to no one else.

We are Americans. We will survive.

We will ask others to join us, but if they find the comfort of totalitarianism then that's their problem. We'll make it. Do not let them "bamboozle" you. We're all better than that. Nothing will take us down.

[turkeyninja]

So your suggesting we shoot people who think different from us?

[olly111192]

I actually quite like this version... And for all you retards out there saying 'This is shit get it off!', it's not about U2 doing this for their own gain, it's about honouring another great artist who did a lot of work with them (and influenced them quite heavily), especially on Zooropa and Pop. So just remember this is a tribute, not a song made for the purpose of gaining money for the band. Thankyou.

[ulster666]

You guys are missing the point here. I hate all the negative posts on covers. U2 chose this song because the know who to pay homage to. Yeah, Johnny is the classic, they are not trying to better him, they are bowing down and paying respect by doing a cover. I suspect Johnny would be honored, so have some insight. I have more respect for U2 for doing the cover than some group who says "Johnny Cash? Never heard of him."

[crimsonnotre]

HORRIBLE!!!! DISCRACE TO JOHNNY

[DuffManinCADPATs]

Dear GOD, this is awful.

[LiVApathy]

Bad

[mcal77536]

all of u are fuckin gay and should jump off of a building for turning a song that johny cash made great and turning it too shit.

[thorhawk792]

This is the worst shit i have ever heard

[rhein100]

disgusting

[Vitocorleone123]

FREAKING AMAZING JOHNNY IS THE MAN AND U2 rock

[siddarth4477]

for all those haters let it go; its a solid version

[clashncruz]

Heinous.

[Marbonil]

This video is an insult to the great Johnny Cash.

[Jorjoh1]

amen it is there version sucks!

[gloopofdoom]

So, there are these little things called grammar and punctuation. I believe you mean

"Amen it is. Their version sucks!"

Stop polluting the site.

[Irishking750]

who gives a mother fuck?My point was made

[gloopofdoom]

Well, I'm sure the majority of people who've cracked a book in their life.

[kingsweeting]

Stop being a arse because someone has wrong gammar and you don't agree with him, but hell I do.

[1004494]

this version of Johnny Cash's song has to be the worst I have ever heard. This video should be taken off YouTube as soon as possible that way no one else has to hear this U2 crap.

[indyjetdriver]

John was a huge fan of U2. He recorded with them in Ireland and in Jamaica...hence the music and beat.

Most of you are ignorant one song fans that know nothing of the man....he would be very uncomfortable to have intolerant individuals like yourselves as fans....but he would never tell you that....too much class...more than any of you will ever have.

[srexley]

Well said. I can't believe some of the c%*p posted here. I'm more of a Cash fan than U2, but I love it when artists honor each other this way. To have the most succesful rock band on the planet pay tribute to Johnny Cash is nothing less than an honor to Johnny. I am sure he would be please with this version and would tell these posters so if he saw what they had said.

[HermanDerGerman]

sux

[DHD94]

Dont mess with a Johnny Cash song if you cant sing it half as good!

[dvfball33]

This is an American song by Johnny Cash and if anyone is gonna copy, it better be another American. u2 ruined a masterpiece

[daveindurham2701]

That was absolute SHIT

Youd think U2 and Johnny equals awesome but I guess not

[jimsi]

they need to find a better key for this song...ROCK on Johnny Cash

[1johnwin]

wow this is unbelievably BAD... can i take my gun a shoot u-2...man this is as bad as pat boone singing ac/dc you shook me all night long....please stop no more ...change band to u-dont sing johnny no more... john w.

[fallenfew1]

U@ sucks they dont even have the right to try to copy the legend johnny cash there song sucks!!!

[04cr85]

i think i might take my gun to town and shoot my self in the fucking face if i hear this song one more time.

[filbertsvox]

Why bother to do a remake of a song and make it sound like the original? U2 wrote for and sang with Cash. They had a mutual respect for each other. You cant really change the lyrics for a remake, so whats left? The music! You haters ever hear Cash sing One? Grow up.

[agfahadfebasdeggins]

The main complaint is that the music sucks. It doesn't fit the song. The music U2 performed for this song is ridiculous.

New music to the song? Good. This music? Horrible.

[sapienturk]

wow this sucks worse than the word suck.

[xman22992]

this sucksssss dick u2 sucks johnny is the man

fuck this is horrible i cant get over it

[corona046]

god i need the nearest gun now horrible!

[TeddyOG]

Man I understand artistic expression but this is not the right way to do the song, makes it sound like a joke or dream rather than someone really learning their lesson before they're gone. Respect to Cash this is not nearly as good

[crazyasskid69]

OMFG, fucken reg-GAY jamaca

[falloutboy4509]

this sucks asss i can't stand this version 4 all those people who like this versoin ur all gay bitches respect the people who like the original

[Grimeyhoob]

falloutboy4509, man, how the heck can anyone respect your opinion on music with that name? you like fall out boy, what could you ever know about music? I do agree that this version is not the best, however your opinion is unfounded as you have no knowledge in music.

Fall out boy are a bunch of fashion-oriented money mongers manipulating minds of little idiots like you to fulfill their lucrative interests.

[FoxtrotAlphaBravo]

fuck this is bad

[Isaacoco]

poor Johnny, this is just misrespect.

[aussiewoods]

i actually like this version better than the old one

[U2uben]

Bono's intro..."cottage in Jamaica". It's an Irish Reggae version, their not trying to do Johnny's original ballad.

[rossso86]

DAMN !!! they really raped the song

[hickenizgriz]

this is horrible.. it actually pisses me off cuz they murder it...

[EmmanuelPons]

Ouais, bon faut avouer que c'est pas vraiment une grande réussite,

Personne n'est parfait,

Passons...

[culturacolombia]

stop this nonsense, It is a NO.

[botchan80]

all the `johnny cash is cool now so anything he does must be great` "fans" who probably never heard of johnny cash until a few years go, and now everything he does is great! this isnt as good as the original, its not meant to be! just like cash`s version of `one` is nowhere as good as the original, they are trying to put their own spin on a great song, whats the point of just copying the original?

[rivariad]

as a fan of johnny dont you accompany to sing the songs while you're listening them? this is like it, they're just famous.

[t0masz]

What a piece of crap. As much as I like u2, they killed this one.

[wbfitness]

Great version. I think they put a nice spin on it, done with total respect, you can tell.

[adiumansb]

DAAAAAAMN u ruined the song. YUUUUCK never do that again with a famous song. Johnny Cash is the best. guys sing something else.

[Theycomeinpeace]

that a discrace dudes , i loved this but now idont know if it will ever be the same agien

[erdinshirexxx]

agrred ... Sounds a lot better from Johnny cash.

[herzkine]

I somehow always just didnt like U2 . but now i really have a reason to. Worst cover ever.

[ravuno]

Go die..

[alnixon]

WHAT THE FLYIN FUCK!?!

[freoboy]

I think you have to listen to the start of the video where Bono says it is the Irish Version of it.

[Neji8Hyuuga]

No, they are IN Ireland at the time the special was shot. If you watched the show he said that because Johnny loved his place in Jamaica the wanted to put a claypso spin on it.

[laboloche]

J'adore cette reprise.

[dfordog1]

Positively the coolest music video ever

[feejo]

I am sure if they mix it, it can be #1. I tought some of their songs where crap but it touch #1. This is the best band in the R&D history what can I tell.

[AdamClaytonRocks]

Love it xD

[Qlimited]

This is funny

[theflyxx]

U2's. Best. Song. EVER.

[bsaul17]

Great version!

[jakegoetz]

agreed

[dnlb82]

horrible....
