U2 is rocking the hill at moncton,n.b. on july 30,2011..their last gig of the 360 tour...one of the greatest bands of all time in my backyard...cant wait
I'm not a HUGE U2 fan, but this is definitely my favorite song by them, I love this song. Can't deny that these guys made awesome music, especially in their early days, like this song.
I prefer the u2 slane castle version of this song, has an alternative style and good also and more so that u2 and innovated today because he changed his style and fantastic that I am fan of the little time I find them amazing
@thenewfella1994 The Smiths were a great group but only could arrive at the British public, Johny Marr is a guitar hero, but U2 has been bigger. I like the smiths too, their songs were meravellous, but I don´t like the comparison between Bono and Morrissey.
Followed them since the early 80's and that stuff was good but seen them twice on the 360 tour in Cardiff and Frankfurt and they blow everyone away. No Line is only second to J Tree. Keep goin boys !!!!!
this song could be remade and played all over modern radio... for example i could TOTALLY see greenday cover this and it be huge... so u2 shud do it to get more radio playtime
@mikeydhh -- as much as I love U2 (and hate Shakira), it's a bit annoying that ESPN that ESPN decided to do the typical American thing and blow off the theme for the rest of the world.
I have to say that Boy is my favorite U2 album. Bono's voice fit perfectly as wells as The Edge's guitar riffs and of course the drumming and bass is amazing. It's such an unique album especially durning the time it came out.
Literally the title of the song says it all - If I was racing a car and listening to this song I would end up out of control from going insanely too fast - their first single and maybe one of their best
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
well, here i've just recently found out that u2 have been around since the like 80's... and me hoping that there was a good U2 before the overuse of the delay... come to find it's the same shit... the entire fucking album
gotta give 'em credit for what they've accomplished.
where u been under a rock? or just born yesterday? These albums have been out for 25 years.Dont like the delay? Go back to your wannabe Metallica band megameth.
@Slabolator i am 45 and you are damn right. Congratulations to your good taste. I was about your age when they released this album. They got worse every year but I liked them until some time in the ninetees. For now the only positive thing about them is: let them be successfull so Bono can spent the money for his projects in Africa.
@ShiBluWolf That did read like I was trying to prove a point by being younger. I didn't mean that at all and didn't want to come across like a 'voice of all reason'. Music is there to be enjoyed by anyone and everyone of any age and thats the main thing :P
actually, i have to say i like their new stuff just as well. "All That You Can't Leave Behind" is an excellent album as well. "Boy" is magnificent, but everything becomes better with age.
boys good. the joshua tree is better. achtung is the best. I think pop may be my second favourite,actually, wedged between the JT and AB. Let's not forget how amazing this RAW and YOUNG U2 is!
The rawness of "Boy" reminds me of the rawness of other debut albums such as the Beatles' "Please Please Me" and the Sex Pistols' "Never Mind The Bollocks". Those albums have such an exciting, devil-may-care feel to them and such youthful energy, as if nothing else in the world mattered. The arrogance and bravery of youth. Great stuff altogether, as we say in Ireland.
The first Manic Street Preachers album (Generation Terrorists) definitely has that vibe too. And yet, much like U2, they still knew exactly how to write songs whose style they'd become famous for later on.
the record company got all huffy over the cover, something about it being homo-erotic and making the band look like pedophiles. so they took a photo and put it through a photocopier and streched it all out, or something like that.
