What a small world; I spent a lot of weekend evenings at the Pie back in the day. Too bad you guys weren't around back then. Gotta say - outstanding performance! You guys should get a drummer and make some records.
Just wait until word get's around that U2 is performing at that pizzeria.... Oh, wait, they're not, that's just Mike Massé? Well, what difference would it make? ;-)
I lost a testicle listening to this... damn that's way the f up there! Great job man. Oh wait, there it is.. it just droped. whew! Seriously your voice is well controlled, I like how it maintains good tone and clarity, again good job. Going to your web sight now.
Seriously you guys are so talented. Mike you are amazing.. Its almost to painful watching you perform at this little pizza joint and watching people walking back and forth. You deserve to be playing out on a much bigger stage, but keep rockin!
seriously...seriously good...I would suggest that the Pizza place finds some new guys ..and you three go on the road, play some bars.. and I think you'll find not even Bono can hit those high notes anymore! ( and I'm a U2 fan !) well done to you all !
so there are a LOT of people who think they can sing that audition to become "idols", because they think somewhere there is a magic box that will make them sound this good once they get a "record deal". There are VERY few people who can sing like this, in a pizzeria or anywhere else. The range is one thing, but the delivery is everything else. Sucks to be this talented and over 30. the "pop" world is missing out on a lot of real talent out there.
Wow, this is also truly amazing! I thought you and Jeff were enough but now The Phil has blown me away also! How are you guys not international superstars??? If all this studio produced crap by people wearing ridiculously ill fitting clohtes can make number one then WHY AREN'T YOU!!!! Much love from Bristol, UK
There's certain songs that i thought couldnt work as acoustic, but you guys have proven me wrong with nearly every single one of your videos. Excellent!
Wow... what a singing range you have! I hate you LOL! With a voice like that, I'd do a lot better when I sing the Zeppelin stuff!. Again, nicely done!
please please please please PLEASE!!!!!! You need to be signed up to some sort of label Mike. This is by far the best cover of this song ive ever heard and ive been to see so many u2 tribute bands that dont even come anywhere close to you. Truely outstanding. I would buy any song. Without any shadow of doubt you are the best act on youtube and thats by a country mile also. Fantastic.
Mike - you are our New American Idol...and that's not a slag...we love your stuff...as my wife and I are in a duo, you are giving us great ideas...being Irish - born in Dublin. I hope my childhood friend Paul hears your version. Keep up the great work...cheers from Canada :)
@mikemassedotcom Haven't been in contact for years...but will see what I can do through the rellies in Dublin - he has to see this and yes it is who you think it is.. Cheers
@mikemassedotcom Another shout from Canada, One word. Awesome: (To leave one in awe and wonder) I am in awe and wonder why you grace us Youtubers with your talent but the rest of the world gets left behind.
Hello U. I love your interpretation. You have a magnificent sound. Maybe that you're using mainstage ?!!! I'm French and have been playing the guitar for long now, but never in my life have heard such a U2'song like this APART FROM u2 OF COURSE !!!!
Congrratulations. The same for David bowie "Sace Oddity" Keep on playing guys.

@motherlesschild1 Lucky for me it's not a competition with Bono. :) I agree drums would add a lot, but we typically do a more "acoustic" set at the Pie (despite having electric guitar on rare occasions like this). But glad you liked our rendition.
@mikemassedotcom dud u dont need to prove anything its a cover for gods sakes, if we wanted to see the exact same thing as the original we'd just watch the original
Im hooked to your videos. seriously!! you guys just brilliant! suggest/request patience by GNR and more than words by extreeme. will come out amazingly well in your voice..
I hate pizza, but I would eat one just watch you sing!!! your voice is really amazing, but I don´t like the pick of songs you performe. Would like something more popular and new that you everyone have hears of. But I get your taste of songs :) // sweden =D
Wow! What a treat! I got to see U2 in Norman, OK, last year and the concert was absolutely amazing....but man! Mike, you nailed those vocals buddy! SWEETNESS!
Mike, am a big fan of you and that larger than life voice. Have shared your vids with many friends from here in Oregon on down to Texas. Keep up the good Sound.
@4evergreendayfan Are you asking for the chords? I play mostly B (with open 1st string to let the E ring), then to E to A sus2 (open 2nd string) then F#m. I have no idea what fingering The Phil is using for the lead part, but you could probably find tab for it. The chords to the middle solo section are B D E (x2).
better than u2......nuff said.
