  • U2 Is still one of my all time favs

  • He was so young. So much left to offer the music world. RIP Bono. You will be missed

  • @Noesme1 RIP ? -.-

  • @Noesme1 bono isnt dead you dumb fuck

  • Después que el pelado se puso la gorra no se la sacó nunca mas jajajaja. Muy buen tema aguante U2 (pero con los temas buenos de verdad no?)

  • I will follow! Take that Mr. Dawkins!

  • Bono de joven era un bombón :D amo al U2 de October y Boy :D

  • back when U2 was cool and ripping off PiL, Joy Division, Echo and the Bunnymen and other bands a zillion times cooler than them ...

  • @tsartodd

    And yet they're more popular then any of those bands you mentioned... Echo and the Bunnymen started around the same time as U2 so I don't see why you're saying U2 ''copied'' them...

  • @tsartodd .. and what happened to those bands..

  • bono why are you dancing?tsk tsk silly bono

  • Holy crap they've changed loads in the past 32 years!

  • U2!!!!!!!!!

  • aahahah awesome guys!

  • omg worst green screen work ever haha. awesome song though.

  • Bono is the best dancer ever :D

  • Bono Lips looks so stupid here hahahaha!

  • How epic do you have to be to dance that gawd awful and still be the coolest dude on the planet

  • I'm not surprised, but this reminds a lot of the Clash. In particular Police on my Back (the Equals cover). Anyone else hear it?

  • didn't know Frodo is the twinbrother of Bono...

    

  • ostia que críos! jajajaja

  • I love the days when 800 bucks and a video camera really delivered a cool video

  • A boy tries hard to be a man, his mother takes him by his hand,

    He starts to dance, he stops and cries, "OH WHY" LOL...

  • Why is bono dancing Bono Stop with that Rockers Don't DANCE YOU are a rocker NOT A DANCER

  • this song begins their crusade in rock

  • Bono Dancing is so so so so so PERFECT......

  • SOLO IS THE BEST EVER!!!!!!

  • Is anyone reminded of the "Public Image"music video by Public Image Ltd by watching Bono dance and sing here? XD

  • larry had 10 years old

  • This song is my FAVORITE of U2's. The first I heard. I LOVE U2 and Bono!

  • a few souxis banshee dance moves - indicative of the time

  • @wolfen682 lol that's just i was thinking.

  • @BeautyIsSkinDeep8 thanks .. yes they ere young

  • @wolfen682 yes they look like babies lol excellent band though!

  • 1:05 hhahahahaha look at Larry :DD

  • Bono parece um retardado nesse clipe.. kkkkkk ele deve ter vergonha hoje em dia!

  • @1:09 - dodgy dance moves right there :-P

  • official Twitter anthem ;)

  • What instrument creates that chimy sound effect? Is it actually chimes or a keyboard/synthesizer effect? That's always been my favortie part of the song, along with the guitar riff.

  • @marehtseira: Steve Lillywhite did the sound effects for this. He played a small "glockenspiel" throughout the song (a xylophone with metal bars that gives a bell-like sound) and for the middlesection they went like MacGuyver with a recording of Lillywhite holding a knife against the spokes of a spinning bike wheel and Bono breaking some bottles.

  • @hm25332 interesting, thx for the info

  • So funny, you can tell the director was trying to make them look and dance like all the crap that was top 40 at that time, but they look so awkward trying it just isn't them.

  • is gibson or epiphone the guitar of Edge?

  • Why is edge playing les paul. I thought this song was recorded with Explorer:O

  • I WILL FOLLOW!!! they look so fucking cool! EPIC U2~~

  • THAT'S FUCKING PERFECT!

    

  • Bono is the same after 30 years, but the Edge - breakthrough!!!

  • and if you walk away walk away.......

  • haha i love them :D their choreography is a masterpiece! :D u2 for ever! :))

  • muito bom!

  • Why so low amount of viewers i think nobody knows this song of U2; Rocks 4ever

  • EPIC

  • ohhmygod LOL... they were so f'king young... edge and larry were 19 and bono and adam were 20... this is just too fricking cool :))

  • great song

  • oh and the best part is from 2:56 to 3:07 xD

  • i love bono's dance moves ;P haha

  • what year was this song released

    

  • lol, Bono couldn't dance for shit back then...But man, what a voice and song!

  • @jimmymac63 What's wrong with it? It's just expressive motion for the song. Take it as that. It looks appropriate for the song. Do you understand the era of 1980, which is when this was done? Plus he's twenty years old here. It's age appropriate.

  • I will follow with u2!!

  • LOVED DUBLIN!

  • Ireland= U2;

    Ireland= James Joyce;

    Ireland= I will follow

  • gotta love Bono's dancing

  • uno de los videos que dejan huella de esta banda milenaria

  • Magniiiiiiiiificent! ♫♪ LOL ♥ U2, the best forever! ♥

  • simply the best !!!!

  • They kick all musicians' asses.

  • fuckin magic!!!!!!

  • the edge looks soooo weird

  • Is Bono tiny or is it the perspective? Quite possibly the worst dancer I've seen in my entire life.

  • Never hear a band in that days with such a pleasure as U2. Now its a band with euros as downloads.

  • It's the Twitter song!

  • @InsertDelicious fuck twitter

  • something must break lol... JD for life

  • This is the 1st video I saw in YouTub, probably in 2006

  • @SeuMadrugaEmAcapulco This video was not uploaded until 2007. But its a good video to watch first :)

  • @InsertDelicious Probably I should have seen in other channel. But I'm sure it as my 1st vid :)

  • Current singers are killing the greatest performers and their beautiful music

  • If "goofy white kid dance" were to ever appear in a dictionary, this link would have to go beside it.

  • im a pre teen and i listen to this

    Guns n Roses

    BON JOVI

    U2

    Amy Winehouse

    and The Beatels

    thumbs up if you r a pre teen/teen and listen to this

    DON' T LET GOOD MUSIC DIE

  • @bonjovirocks23 how in the hell can good music die?

  • @bonjovirocks23 you have what I call "special little snowflake" condition

  • Jerry Sandusky loves this video!

  • God, How I remember this! I feel so freaking old! I watched them sing this at the Bayou Club in D.C. in Georgetown. I was 17, with a fake ID, standing in the freezing cold to get in. 1981. The dancing and slamming haha we thought it was so cool then. Today I have to agree that it does look a tad skippy... lol but it kept me in shape considering how much alcohol I consumed in those years.

  • @chesbaygirl

    they played the Bayou?!  Damn, I missed 'em!

  • They look like douchebags but pull it off.

  • I love the haircuts:

    Bono = classic early 80's mullet

    The Edge = just has hair!

    Adam = looks like Napoleon Dynamite

    Larry = looks like a young teenager

    How they've changed over the past decades.

  • Comment removed

  • ok they all look like little kids in this and bono looks a bit gay in his tight shiny trousers but at least the songs good

  • i willllll................

  • Well...1980. time is travelling at warp speed! People actually danced like that in those days by the way. It was the "New Wave" dance thing. Of course this tune has lots of Cure type pace to it. That too, was the style of a few bands back then. Anyway, lots of fun. Still a great song and thats good enough.

  • I believe this video is the last time "Edge" has ever been seen without wearing a hat or skullcap. I guess they just didn't have Rogaine in Ireland back in the '80's.

  • amazing song.....bono s moves are too funny

  • Epic song

  • Aren't they too young to see an R rated movie?

  • I don't know what it is about this video, it's just amazing. i know it's old but idk?!?!?!?

  • OKay, just have to rof and lmao at this. I love U2, absolutely love them and have since the early 80's but watching this vid is just funny to me. I wonder if they watch it now and crack up too. Bono's dancing is hysterical..........hee hee!!

  • I had a cold. I listened to this video. I got better.

  • U2 has come a long way since 1980, and they still rock!

  • So I say to my 6' 1" Football Playing Martial Arts expert SON, " Why the hell do you listen to that JUSTIN BIEBER CRAP. He says, "Dad, thats what gets the girls" I said " Son, Don't wast your time with chicks like that, because lesbians will only let you watch." I'm such a good father.

  • @USAFORMERUSMC congratulations! but world walks to the chaos...

  • @USAFORMERUSMC Awesome father in fact!

  • @USAFORMERUSMC well played man well played.

  • @USAFORMERUSMC Legend! :D

  • The clip sucks but the song is very good.

    I will follow the 86 persons who clicked the dislike button and cure them so they feel pleasure when they listen to classics.

  • they were so young :))

  • Bono looks like Andy Samberg from SNL.

  • Bono is sort of like Jim Morrison in this..

  • Tune.

  • Hahaha, I love U2, They make me proud to be of Irish descent. The young bono, larry make me laugh hahaha the hair

  • esse som é muito bom! 

  • Bono looks like a rapist in this video hahaha

  • MAGNIFICENT

  • @ContemplandoLaLuna wrong song, but this is magnificent too.

  • @ContemplandoLaLuna , LOL, Semper Fi, HooRah!! JustUrBeaver...he's gotta go!

  • This song is an amazing transformation of the band at that time. Look at the u2 videos on youtube from 1978 and 9 when they were all teenagers. Then this! It's an astonishing 'arrival' for such a young group of artists. It seems to come out of nowhere. They are fully formed here.

  • yyeeahh! this is music guy....

    fuck Bieber, Shakira, Britney Spears,hip hop, and all that shit!!

    this generation is stupid and empty.

    long life rock n roll!!

  • lookng at this, would you say they would have this great future?

    lol i wouldn't

    but I love them anyways

  • good drums...dobri bubnjovi...

  • i dont give a f... about how many views the biebers videos have

  • Legendary

  • Bono I love u.!

  • anybody else wish they could see the edge try and stuff that fro in his beenie?

  • Oh my the thumbnail...

    It looks like orgasming Harry Potter. O.O

  • mes plus belles années

  • U2 - kids version

  • Bono without glasses??? What is this? Hahaha

  • I'm absolutely shocked that both Bono and Rick Astley attended the same dance academy!

  • Then 'till now, what an incredible band.

  • this fucking shit sucks so fucking bad, i will follow my ass

  • @pachor2 go ahead and follow you ass o.0 and while your down thier you can kiss ours.

  • They're just boys here. WOW!! Does time fly!

  • Little did I know when I first saw this video in the early 80s that 30 years later this upstart band would be able to now make a strong case as being one of the top 5 bands in music history.

  • A classic U2 song!

  • How is The Edge not considered one of the best guitarists of all time? Him and Peter Buck are very underrated.

  • children...

  • Their only good song --------sorry, my opinion.

  • @pokalot1 Bof not so much I think they have great songs

  • This song was great in 'The Last American Virgin' in the early-eighties.

  • Whats the Edge's real name?

    

  • @AtomicRooster77 it's Dave Evans

  • Twitter theme song.

  • old song,but the sound is unmistakeingly u2-CLASSIC !

  • Why does Bono dance so weird? lol

  • great song

  • Artificially boosting a classic song's view count just to compete with some silly pop act that will be forgotten in a few years = FAIL.

  • ..Just Your Beaver? ...What?

  • Love the drumming in this

  • lmfao. they are sooooo young here. lol. i love this band! happy birthday U2! u guys make me proud to be of irish descent

  • Stalker's song

  • insufferable as Bono is, this is still one hell of a great band. The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen more than make up for Bono's excesses.

  • You say Bruno Mars, I say Guns'n Roses

    You say Hannah Montana, I say U2

    You say Owl City, I say Bon Jovi

    You say Jonas Brothers, I say Queen

    You say Taylor Swift, I say Amy Winehouse

    You say Justin Bieber, I say Fuck You

    95% of teens these days listen to the same formulaic, crappy pop over and over again. If you're one of the 5% who still listens to real music, thumb this up, then copy and paste it to at least five videos. Don't let the spirit of rock and roll die!

  • @bonjovirocks23 You say justin bieber, I throw a molotov at your face instead of a regular water bottle.

  • @bonjovirocks23 Not to be rude but i dont think amy whinehouse deserves to be in that list, with those gods of rock.

  • @bonjovirocks23

    Amen brother !!

  • @bonjovirocks23

    Amy Winehouse? What the fuck?

  • @bonjovirocks23 Please shut up.

  • @bonjovirocks23 god these things are stupid, we all have a right to like what we want, who gives a shit...but U2 are my idols i will say that much...

  • @bonjovirocks23 Sorry, but you can't set the standards for what music is.

  • @bonjovirocks23 i'd replace amy winehouse with Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Aerosmith, Motorhead, or AC/DC

  • Oh man, Edge ripped Joy Division so hard on this one.

    No respect for U2 at all.

    Decent track though.

  • @ipudding100 , no, they ripped PIL, with their song Public Image, from 1978

  • @ToolsnFire

    Yeah, maybe in some aspects.

    But the riff is pretty much exactly the same as JD's 'Something Must Break'.

  • @ipudding100

    It's got a much different rhythm, so maybe it's a tribute or something. Often people pay tribute to something they like my including it in what they do. Edge hasn't really been know to be strapped for ideas when it comes to guitar, ya know. 

  • @Tonytime20

    Rhythm's virtually the same. The only differences I can pick out are the key's and the instrumentation, as in it's a keyboard playing a minor riff in JD's song, and a guitar playing a major riff here. I guess we can agree to disagree. But all I'm saying is that there's a difference between being influenced by a band, and then totally ripping off one of their riffs.

  • fuck you and U2 in the ass... oh that's right your a fag you would like that.

  • U2 was ahead of there time, w8 so was carly simon and the carpenters too

  • love the song from my fav 80s movie las t american virgin

  • ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ I LOVE U2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • only song from them i like, good though

    Bono robbed Stuart Adamson of this music they copied the skids which stuart was in before big country

  • @TheAmericanbornscot Remember the edge influence is Stuart Adamson and stuart said that he have a great respect for the edge ..

  • @U2Memoryman Well, I know THAT. That is why I like The Edge, I just wish U2 would do it for the music like they used to. That is why I like Big Country and Skids so much more

  • Bono, ffs xD Yo moves!

  • This was the first U2 song I heard and knew right then these guys will be around for a long time. Thirty years later and it still sounds cool
