the clothes made me think of Pink Floyd in the late sixties but one of them has no instrument and the floyds didn't dance so lOl, but the psychedelic t-shirt reminded me of Barrett.
Who is the first one they show? Oh, why it is Frank Zappa and that is because he was the most musically inclinded out all of them. # 8 is David Bryne of the Talking Heads. YEAH, got love those choices not to mention Led Zeppelin!
I love how they portray each style of music in this video! Ray Charles & Johnny Cash to Karen O & Jack White to Beck & Elton John! Such a beautiful outlook on music and love! 5 Stars for sure!!
There is a window in the sky & u2 knows for they are angels & I am the holy spirit whom they witnessed the miracles! Miracle of the Rose Prophecy censored & silenced but guides them with essence of grace toward Rebirth & Excellence!
What most people don't know about this video is that it isn't the original version. a lot of scenes got cut due to copyright infringement, then were replaced with random scenes from a hayfield. The original had scenes like Hendrix burning his guitar...(it was a lot better that way, lol)
questa canzone mi ricorda la finale di atene 2007 milan liverpool 2-1, andammo ad atene in nave e durante il viaggio ci facevono ascoltare windows in the skies....grandi u2!!!!
this song and video is absolutely amazing. i can watch this all day. 0:24 is where its at! coulda been better without kanye though. but i can look past that second.
oh my. good call for pointing out that, not only does he whine and steal other people's music, he also STEALS THEIR SHOES! cant you do anything original chris martin you unoriginal bum! you are USELESS!
There are so many strands to this. It just grows and grows - the sound, Bono's voice - and yet stays surprisingly intimate. It curls around you and has you inside before you realize it.
Only quibble about video: the absence of Springsteen, the Doors and two other Irish greats notable in their absence or obscurity, Rory Gallagher and Van Morrison.
Surprisingly, it Beyonce's perfectly timed sexy stride I like most
I don't know who made it, but it's INSANELY well done. U2 should adopt it, if they haven't already, and create a master version of it. I'd buy it HD in a heartbeat. One of the best editing jobs I've ever seen. An incredible amount of work.
Are you serious? Come on man..you can't deny the influence that U2 has obviously had on Coldplay. I'm a hip hop fan(real hip hop that is, not this shit they play on the radio), but I love Chris Martins lyrics. The band has obviously been influenced by U2 though...and perhaps Radiohead...
Radiohead for sure. Especially the song 42. Coldplay are influenced by a lot of bands. Listen to rain day on the new ep. Sounds like Beck. X & Y was U2 influenced you can tell. I like both bands. I bet even Coldplay inspires U2 a bit.
yeah were posting all the Bono shots. Which is a freakin Epic thing to do, i cant wait for there new album NO LINE ON THE HORIZON which is out March 2.
Not George Harrison, common look at his right arm look at the guitar and the background. Look at the suit ! i'm not sure if this is Keith Richards but definetly not Harrison:)
even the hair is a bit different not curly enough...
Hey latinoamericanos, ya vieron que Charlie Garcia es al primero que sacan! y que conste, no soy argentino jajaja pero si me parece algo especial de parte de u2
No not drummer, i thaught the first guy that they show was Charly Garcia, but is Frank Zappa a composer, they just happen to look alike, but chaly looks more like Chaplin
ok i just read a few of these comments, so i dont really know what's going on...but who the hell compared miley cyrus with freddie mercury???? please tell me i just read something out of context or something....please tell me thats the case...
ha ha no im not the decades biggest lame and either is eminem, he has sold half of what U2 has sold in a matter of 8 years you idiot! Go watch Sisterhood of the travelling pants 2. Wanker!!
Fool, eminem is a shock novelty act. His fall was as big as his rise. As far as MUSIC is concerned, he doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as U2.
Eminem didnt fall, his last album sold 11 million and that was considered low sales for him.. His next album is called Relapse and i cannot wait for its arrival.. Eminem is the highest grossing artist of this decade and a legend with his play on words...
relapse. im not surprised they chose that word to be the title of his next album. Will he ever make a successful song that doesnt involve lyrics about his jacked up life? Seems all his music is about "babe mama", "sorry (my daughter) for the way yo mama and i behave around you" and "mom's was a careless bitch when I was growing up". Even his movie was the same old trite story. At first I thought he was decent but his stories got old very soon. He cant even measure up to P-Ditty, much less U2.
Do you know that Eminem was voted the #1 rapper alive? hmm whats wrong with the title "Relapse"... Its a play on words with Dr Dre's 9 year in the making album called "Detox" you moron... Oh and Eminem raps about truth and puts a comical view on things... P. Diddy licks ballz compared to Eminem... Oh and yeah U2 are Legends and deserve everything.... C'mon man, you were a fan of Eminem in 2000! who wasnt... his last album sold 10 million.... that was considered poor!! Buddy give ur head a shake!
No i was never a fan of his. I've never been into white rappers for that matter. I was into rap but like eminem's lyrics to each new song he makes, it's all the same old tired story and I grew up and out of all the bitch this, bitch that, nigger this, poe-poe that. One thing I have to give him props is he's a rapper but didnt follow the crowd coming up with lyrics trashing women, police and talking about how big a shit he is....
