@ltkindermann What are you talking about? Bono is awesome. Just cause he's one of the lucky ones that hit the big time doesn't mean you have to hate, man.
@ltkindermann I just read your statement and maybe I got it wrong, but I thought if everyone makes the same kind of music there would be no variety, nothing new.
Here's an idea: let's trust Europeans when it comes to Jews! They've been dead-on so far. And to that end, let's all believe what we see and hear on the BBC! I'm so sick of this twat's passive-aggressive one-sided commentary on Israel. F him.
You know the world is fucked when you get wankers that will argue about a song like this like it's some big political statement. Fucking cunts. Just listen to the fucking song and enjoy it as it was intended to be, and that is art and entertainment. You don't like it then fuck off and argue about something worth arguing over. Wasters.
How about the drift coming across in the song? Most song writers incorporate all sorts of shit in their lyrics; like those songs that are 'letters to the president' and all. Not a political statement, sure; but some people actually want to decipher things and understand them and sometimes challenge them. What the fuck's wrong with that? The majority of music panders to the dumb tosser population anyway (you=prime example); when the occasional song actually makes sense, some appreciate it.

What the fuck's wrong with that? the majority of music panders to the dumb tosser population anyway (you=prime example); it's nice that the occasional song makes sense.
the or else is likely to either be an oxymoron and not intended to be taken seriously, or was put there not saying that U2 would do anything about it if there wasnt love and peace, but instead that the world would suffer on its own if there wasnt. now can all of you quit arguing about it? what can you do? post another angry comment? 80% of the people that comment on these videos are idiots who want to seem tough but in reality, cant do a single thing about it.
i just laughed my ass off at how dumb the strangertoearth guy is.
You're gonna seriously start trashin on the "or else" part of the name? The point was to be an oxymoron dumbass. Haha. I guess I should probably explain what that means to you since there's no way in hell you've graduated the 4th grade yet.
Oxymoron: a figure of speech by which a locution produces an incongruous, seemingly self-contradictory effect, as in cruel kindness or to make haste slowly"
StrangerToEarth, I know you just copied and pasted that comment from another website. How pathetic, you are so dumb that you can't even think of an insult yourself. What a paethetic loser!
If there was a list of things a pacifist should never say, "or else" would probably top it. everything about this song is stupid. Love and peace or else? or else what, you pussies? What are you going to do about it? Sing another crybaby song for your crybaby fans? tough shit bitches, war kicks ass.
Can't you hippies just piss off and surrender somwhere quietly for once without singing a song about it?
you're missing the point. This isn't a pacifist song. Love and Peace isn't a pacifist idea, last time I checked people fought wars for the same reasons people protested.
Last time I checked the world is still populated by millions of nimwits.
Your point was...?
War is a part of the world we live in. Tough shit, it may be a mass killer, but that's that. Protesters, pacifists, and hippies all put together won't even think to start to begin to change that.
is there really any need for that? if you don't like it don't listen to it you dumb shit. anyway, if there isn't love and peace what else is there? hate and war? i don't know about you but i think everyone would be better off if there was a bit more peace in the world and less people like you who just wanna cause destruction and upset.
Oh christ, give it a rest with the cliche's, Don Quixote. We all know that the world would be a better place with more peace and less war, make love not war, yaddayaddaya. (love and peace - hippy shmaltz - again we've all heard it). What's funny is how you instantly jump to the conclusion that 'people like me just wanna cause destruction and upset' - yeah, cause I'm fucking pro-war and violence, think it's 'sweet and fitting to die for one's country', even though I can't begin to understand it..
I read somewhere that someone described this song as sounding like Led Zeppelin being played in a dumpster; very accurate, very creative description of an amazing song.
And yes, the song is a call for peace in the middle east, but also all around the world.
Bono's love/hate relationship with the U.S. continues as he continues his unparalleled march for equality and peace throughout the world.
yes - song is great! its about the conflicts in the Middle East - Israel and Palestine, etc. See the lyrics - daughters of Zion, sons of Abraham.... A call to release some love and peace there.
Love and Peace or Else has a Zooropa origin I think. There's a lot of sound effects(in particular the introduction and the bass bit before Edge's solo) that sound very Zooropa.
