Yeah I love this song, one of my favorites by them, when I sing the last part, the "Baby, Baby, Baby" part at the end, someone asked me why I was singing the Justin Bieber song "baby", and I got enraged, saying that the faggot Bieber should not be compared to u2 lol
@orangewizard Actually I clicked on this looking for something else, then I listened to it, read the adoring comments, and thought about how all of the six classic rock stations in my area constantly play U2 A-sides over and over and over again. Not that there's anything wrong with grandma-friendly, top-20 rock and roll with weak drumming and bland guitar..I just get sick of hearing 'Where the streets have no name' after the 3,000th time. Figured I'd vent here to some drone fans.
Overrated how? they write there own songs. bono has a great voice (no autotune), the rest of the band are excellent, they are the only band that could probably make me cry with there genius songs. Rock wouldn't be the same to this day if there was no U2. Also I think they are pretty underrated, I rarely hear them on the radio and TV..
Achtung Baby is as good an album as The Joshua Tree and those two albums are in the top ten of all-time. They are true masterpieces of music with arguably no filler, just 100% pure top-shelf music.
They did this song the first half of the 360 tour. Well, they did it on Chicago Sept. 12th 2009 anyway, and it made my entire two years until they came back July 5th 2011. Only on that show it was the 30 year anniversary of this album, and they played everything I never thought I'd see them play live, and it was.....awesome....I can't think of a big enough word. I LOVE U2!
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that this is one of the Top 5 albums of all time. I'm not even a big U2 fan, but I think you'd have to consider them right up there with the Stones and The Beatles.
The Killers will be covering this song on a special cd that will be on the cover of the October issue of Q Magazine (available Oct 25) - The entire album "Achtung Baby" covered by other artists. Should be good!
War is the U2 album i'd own if i could only have one, but this is the one i re-listen to the most. i wore out a copy of War when it first came out. Joshua Tree- excellent but overplayed when released so i don't need to hear it so much. this is one of my fave tracks from Achtung Baby.
A funny thing happened to me. I went to see U2 360 in Miami and I went home and listened to Achtung Baby for the first time in over 10 years. After all these years I finally realized what an incredible groundbreaking album it was. All these years I knew it was good. But not THIS good. Has any other band ever followed up a huge album with another album that is so different from a production stand point?
I'ts U2 in his glory days, this album has it all. I can listen it over and over again, it still hits me deep inside every single time. That is why i think it is the best album. All of them are good, but this is the one.
When this first came out I didn't think it was strong as Joshua Tree, but 20 years later I think it better. At the time, they we're reinventing themselves and save their career from being an 80s throw back setting themselves free from their past successes.
Joshua Tree is "officially" U2's best album. And it's one of the greatest albums of all time, but Achtung, Baby is actually their best album. Like Joshua Tree, every song is great, but Achtung, Baby is a singular experience. It came out of a time when the band wasn't sure they had anything to contribute and considered breaking up and you can hear the urgency and desperation that they wanted to be relevant and meaningful as a band. The Unforgettable Fire is my favorite FWIW.
I think achtung baby takes a crap all over Joshua tree, and I LOVED joshua tree. So no hatin', just saying achtung is superior in EVERY way (one man's opinion)
This was like going to "The Church of the Holy Immasculated Soul Searching House of U2". This song says it all, my favorite of all time, as is the album. The tour rocked my life. And they included the song on there last tour for an encore, BRILLIANT!
I'm radical to say that shamefully after this wonderful album U2 felt too much in quality. For me, there's a U2 before and after Zooropa and the ZOO Tour.
Probably the sexiest song in rock music, very very touching to the soul, but then I said that about "It's My Life" (Talk Talk) and Europe's "final countdown"
@LSUforever It's far and away the best thing they have ever done,it galls me to say it but theres not a bum note on it. I much prefer slagging them off bunch of self satisfied pompous wankers, see what I mean?
@nebjamin95 ---- Achtung Baby is much more consistent in tone and sound than The Joshua Tree. My initial view of the Achtung (in 1991) is that it left me cold; however, it has held together better than Joshua. The latter benefits from having two #1 hits on it that everyone considers among their finest compositions: "With or Without You" and "I Still Haven'f Found What I'm Looking For."
Its not underrated, its widely known as one of the greatest rock albums ever, and will probably be considered a top ten album of all time in 20 years or so.
Yeah I love this song, one of my favorites by them, when I sing the last part, the "Baby, Baby, Baby" part at the end, someone asked me why I was singing the Justin Bieber song "baby", and I got enraged, saying that the faggot Bieber should not be compared to u2 lol
