Daughtry Sings Sunday Bloody Sunday

[rtpmb]

Fucking awesome mates!

[413ZEE]

awesome



[graysonbr]

Very good remake. Daughtry does well to sing the vocal range in the song.

[57wookie]

Aww, they didnt' do my favorite verse (and its true we are immune..) like the pillar cover. Otherwise good job.

[kezie666666]

awesome wow

[Qensho]

Great cover! I 'm a U2-fan for a long time... but also a daughtry-fan. And he and his team did a great job. Very nice.. :)

[Snyki1996]

I am a fan of U2 but i have to say that they did their job very well !!!

[786Vahi]

Fail

Daughtry will never be Bono

And what's with all the Distortion?

Edge never played it with that much Overdrive. They're obviously hiding something.

[gnatman066]

@786Vahi

Daughtry isn't trying to be Bono and the distortion is the way play pretty much everything.

If you don't like it, that's fine. But they're not hiding anything, it's their style.

[786Vahi]

@gnatman066

Their style of failing.

[gnatman066]

@786Vahi

That's certainly one opinion.

[ArtMonkforHallofFame]

where is the Enniskillen speech?



[FooFighters426]

Wow the voice blew me away

perfectly made cover in my opinion

but still not as good as the original

[Ganwarable]

3 guitarists needed instead of The Edge still not adequate. Edge rulz! Nice cover though.

[FooFighters426]

@Ganwarable

acctually there are 2 guitarists in this song

and one guy with a bass;)

[michaelam833]

my uncle was on of the victims of bloody sunday and i think that this is amazing, all the covers are great...its the song and the terrible event that shouldnt of happened that matters ,thank you for thinking about Derry,Ireland :)

[onewithu2]

nice version Daughtry!!!

[atomsolomon]

weak

[MrWhiskeyontherocks]

personally i like daughtrys version of sunday bloody sunday

[ktrudgen1]

This may be blasphemy to many, but Chris Daughtry's voice just hits my ear in a nicer way than Bono's.... just my opinion. 

[cartervail]

@ktrudgen1

no

[MichaelD8393]

U2 does it WAY better. if you agree thumbs up, if not LEAVE THIS COMMENT ALONE!!!

[KatieLL]

For those that say this is not like the original...IT'S A COVER PEOPLE! For those that get that, thank you so much! For those that criticize Joey Barnes' drumming...search him on here. I was never into U2 so I can't compare the two. But no one should need to...again, it's a cover.

[1mrdaddy]

Unlike Bono..he can sing..great cover as good if not better than the original.

[stylgiannoutsos]

i like george bush's version way better

[stylgiannoutsos]

wow.......they took out the lyrics " to win the battle that jesus has already won".......its just not cool to have anything to do with Jesus anymore...........have fun worshipping the almighty dollar,  it wont last long.

[diarmuidrog]

Trying far too hard to sound like Bono, not great

[MichaelD8393]

@diarmuidrog i couldn't agree more. plus the guitar riff all wrong

[Anvilpants]

daughtry is probably the furthest thing away from british/irish violence as possible

[scatback105]

Not half bad. 5 stars.

[nardo363636]

this guy is such a tool.

[SuposedArt]

That didn't go with the lyrics at all.

[K9Jedi]

Not bad ... I give them an "A" for effort.

[hamjamon3]

Great bamd, great song, but the drums should be far more powerful and overpowering!

[hamjamon3]

Great band, great song, but whats with the weird drums, the drums in the song should be overpowering and fierce!

[Anyla20]

chris sounds good

but not my fav . cover of the song

[MichaelD8393]

u2's version is wayyy better. it is because its original.

[iDiggMGL]

Saul Williams cover>This cover

[Bill22jack]

I would rate it about a 2 out of 10....

[Purplesquirrrelzz]

not bad, but i like the u2 version way better.

[dboy1929]

the guitar tones are horrible... and the snare sounds terrible....the chords were wrong on certain parts. wow a professional band

[TheGavio93]

the drummer looks like he has down syndrome or something. its too metal sounding. this song was written to pay respects to people who have lost their lives in the irish revolutions. take out the guitarists, and put the edge in there!

[Cintai44]

If your gonna spout about something learn before typing. You have no idea what this song is about. Its about the Bloody Sunday incident in Derry where British troops shot and killed civil rights marchers. Get a clue before typing!

[TheGavio93]

@Cintai44 this is U2's more overtly political songs. its lyrics describe the horror felt by an observer of The Troubles (i said revolutions. same fucking thing) in Northern Ireland. if u wanna see the real meaning of this song, watch U2 perform it on the movies Rattle and Hum, or Live from Slane Castle. do ur research before looking like a total cunt

[cletiger10]

@TheGavio93 how do you put edge into something if you don't have guitarists playing it? that makes no sense at all

[abisail]

nice cover...very powerful!!!

[mo7rocks]

FREEKIN AWESOME COVER!!!!!!!!

[gamefreak457]

The best cover I have seen by far!!

U2 would be very proud to hear this, especially Bono. Chris Daughtry does an awesome singing it. Sounds a lot like Bono

[mikesam77]

i lovey!

[Idratherbeflying89]

Not a bad cover but the distortion on the second guitar gives it too much of a metal sound. My sister showed me this and said she found somebody who does sunday bloody sunday better than U2.......she was wrong, you can't do this song better than U2.

[bowiechick4eva]

Wow! They did such a good job. Especially the way Daughtry sang it. He did very very well.

[craijin]

drums arent as powerful as the original but a good cover nonetheless

[asassin06]

It's a cover! Not a reproduction! For fuck sake calm down, it was actually pretty damn good.

[davec3487]

Crap cover!! Minus points for the ugly drummer face.

[RadCelt]

For what it was ok, but sorry - it's really just a U2 knock-off - in arrangement and vocals ok. I would have respected them more if they made it their own.

[cletiger10]

@RadCelt that's why it's a cover. it's supposed to be the same bro.

[PadawanOsswe]

Wow, Chris really sounds great here, a lot like Bono really...cept more masculine sounding.

[adamkadabra]

the drums are terrible in this song there not even close just god awful...shoulda left it alone daughtry

[Bonovandenhork]

think it's pretty good. nice guitar sounds and Chris' vocals are a lot like Bono's.

[bowiechick4eva]

@Bonovandenhork I thought the same thing about the vocals. He did amazing.

[Bonovandenhork]

Pretty cool then, that I carry his artistname :)

[zdkrdh]

this sounds amazing!

[Tweed90Wrestling]

this is better then Paramore's version but not U2

[91jew]

good not as good as u2 but definetly a viable cover he has the power needed in his voice (unlike paramore that cover was to weak) but this is good

[caits2121]

i like this version its really Good :)

I love Chris Hes so hot!!

[gustavorocha78]

dude!!!! what a version!!!!

[agwar143]

whatch pillars version

[shantiara12]

I actually liked paramores version....

[BrickUnit]

A decent cover

[DonGroucho]

nothing will ever beat U2's version, but not bad. 4/5

[akapg]

I guess they weren't ballsy enough to mention Jesus. The lyrics are just steeped in biblical imagery, and the whole "awesome meaning" hangs on that last verse. Good version musically, though.

[StaceyTBH]

Chris Daughtrys Voice Is Amazing <3 x

[arandomperson240]

pretty good, but he didn't make it his own. he was focusing too much on being a U2 clone. he will fall into the shadows and this cover will never be considered outstanding.

[johnnymackU2fan]

Good cover. Nothing can beat the original especially live. And Paramores version was dog shit

[Frecky1896]

where is the bass?

[nwc333]

Listen with headphones.

[XTwilight1996]

Paramore's verison is better than both of them...then daughtry, then U2 (sorry)!!

[johnnymackU2fan]

Are you high? You suck as a person if you think that

[Yapiej]

you're nuts.

[BensonBitch]

I am amazed by this. I do like U2 but this cover blows the original out of the water!

His voice is perfect for this song.

[nwc333]

MAYBE better than the original recording, but it's not even close to the live performances, particularly Red Rocks.

[TerryTrust]

ERrm, like the voice, but absolutely not this "Ibanez-shit-playing", everything is good exept this guitar

[Alkalinetime]

this is pretty damn good. to the people who are complaining about the guitars not sounding as smooth... its not supposed to! they have went for a more heavier version of the song, imo its better.

[Born2ntertain13]

Paramore also does a cover. I like Paramore's version better than Daughtry's and U2's.

[lovatofan4life]

yea i agree with u

[recobalegend20]

worthy cover.

[renatocmont]

This cover is better than the original.

[aaron19038]

i think this cover is alright but there are a few cons: this guitar is made for one guitarist and one bass player, you dont need to have two guitat players jamming power chords through the pre chorus. Also the main riff is made up of three parts and they should be played smoothly but this lead guitarist does not transition well and you can hear the silence. Drummer is better than what most of the comments are saying but no one could touch larry. Good singing Good Cover

[scanlt1]

I'm a huge U2 fan .... this was a very good cover - Chris Daughtry is a talented passionate singer.

[midgehock]

Love the Live From Red Rocks vid in the background!!

[bware16]

I don't see how some of you say this is crap? I think this is one of the better covers I've heard in a while. I'm a U2 fan, but I actually like this a little better than the original. It's go more ballz.

[nickelbackjj]

i thing that to this is the best

[jellytrooper]

ok, this is crap. the only good thing here is the singer.

[midnitemyth]

the is cover is not bad but the drumming is no good. nothing can compare to larry's drumming!!!

[lili7678]

@midnitemyth

Agree with u, Larry Mullen is better

[COREYFELLOWS22]

not bad, u2 is untouchable

[SupportRealMuzik]

@COREYFELLOWS22

u2 sucks he is only reason I like this song

[MichaelD8393]

@SupportRealMuzik u2 can do this song better in their sleep. so shut up and keep your opinions to yourself.

[SupportRealMuzik]

@MichaelD8393

Ok, Explain to me what you KNOW about music and what YOU think about music. Knowing and thinking isnt the same.

[MichaelD8393]

@SupportRealMuzik i KNOW REAL music when I hear it and I THINK because your YouTube name is SupportRealMuzik, YOU should do that. You think about that and let me know what you think.

[SupportRealMuzik]

@MichaelD8393

Yoiu dont know music if it hit you in the face and shat on it. Alone the vocals are better in this song. Plus its a cover meaning they implement their own style. They are in no way trying to be them or copy them.

[electricpollusion]

@SupportRealMuzik your right if it needed to be exactly it would be a copy/tribute version

[theodelric]

@MichaelD8393 mate quite frankly, shut up, opinions are meant to be voiced, ever heard of freedom of speech? just shut up and accept that its opinions, not everyones opinions are the same or even similar

[MichaelD8393]

@theodelric ok thanks for letting me know. maybe I did over react but I'm Irish and Italian, so I can lose my cool at times. oh well

[theodelric]

@MichaelD8393 lol im a scottish irish mix so am about the prone to lose my cool, dont worry bout it man

[MichaelD8393]

@theodelric heh thanks.

[bedouinfire]

it was a good cover, but the drummer sucks. LOL :))

[jax5556]

nice cover! of course, the original (my fave U2) is still the best. but, at least, Daughtry did not butcher the song! i'm happy with this cover. :)

[xileno2009]

baterista ruim demais

[blackhoodie94]

i love the solo starting @ 2:52

[undhee7]

well not bad as a cover song...its good..greeting from the philippines....

[thelonepiper555]

I can't stand Daughtry, but this was a good cover.

[pokabeb]

underated cover, the tip of the hat to you Daughtry!!

[ajb7811]

great cover, not as good as U2 but still a great performance

[ja860231]

Love their rendition of the song.

[Swiftfox93]

I was really impressed and I'm not a big fan of Daughtry

[juhsparamore]

perfect !

[craiclord]

what is this bollocks?? Jesus at least the paramore version was in tune....... Utter SHITE! Fukin bono will be spinnin in his high heels when he hears this haaha!

[ludvik199t]

It can get better!

BUt it is pretty good

[Nimlas1]

Lame vocals, terrible guitar tone, shitty drummer.

totally lame

[cletiger10]

@Nimlas1 lame vocals? lol get a clue

[FadingThought]

Did the drummer forget the fills?

[u2liveinchicago]

ehh. its ok. not great

[l1v34lax]

this is good the transitions are much better than most

[whatnow1234567890]

nothing on the original, but it is a cover and they never are. It could be worse and better.

[vendortrash]

the singer is a bit flat and the guitar tone is crap.

[mikehanoo33]

This song rocks very hard , the lead vocals are excellent , of course a fellow Irishman can bring out the emotion and power of the song , in some parts I think he surpasses Bono , but I still love the original , but this is a tight version , very sweet , and I am part of the Daughtry clan !

[Carelesshottie1]

in the background they have u2 playing it at Red Rocks on the tv screens. Daughtry can never beat U2 sorry Chris

[paramoreoe]

amm not good as i thought it would be....but nice

[Paint4U2]

U2 wrote the best song of politics,great message

[degrofm]

Not the greatest thing in the history of covered songs, but not terrible either.

[rebeccabrettjohnston]

Great cover! It can't compare to the original (due to the fact that it's NOT the original :p) but it's pretty fucking great!

[AniLutu]

Bloody fantastic! I'm pretty sure U2 was flattered.

[kagsinuluv]

i think this and paramores cover are the best covers of this song but not better than the original

[kimberlyreneelove]

i think they made it too fast. i havent actually heard the real one but the paramore one was slow and sounds a lot more meaningful then this.

[PaladinOfTheShadow]

On the Daughtry Deluxe album, I think it was, they have this on here, the sesson they did with AOL or whoever, and it really works well, it's slower. But I agree, outside of that, the Paramore cover is better than this because it's slower

[mysocalledchaos]

the intro was a little rough but the vocals were great. especially during the chorus.

[vanpedrom]

im not gonna say that doughtry did a bad job covering this song because they did do a good job. but seriously!!! no band should cover this song. no matter how good of a job they do. and thats that.

he was like, i like this song because it has an awesome meaning... cmon man bono nearly sheds tears when he sings this! so my advice is dont touch it. ANY band

[highfiver04]

0:40 it looks like keith from scrubs

[den22thecoast2]

Wow powerful version...I would actully like this on my Ipod...htese4 guys r excellent

[VRWCFrog]

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

[fragellin]

wiggers must be fuckn god to blacks then

[trishhedleyfan]

good job woo

[thehype93]

cool how they have the red rocks show playing in the background.

[Iamsoocool09]

Man this song is eerie

Gives me chills brilliant cover

Just more eerie when U2 sing it

Daughtry v. cool though

He has lovely voice :)

[BraziliAna]

Very cool!

Have just posted it on U2's official website's forum.

;)

[undocumentedspot]

Great thanks, now they are going to delete this video. thanks A LOT

[BraziliAna]

I can't see why they would delete this video.

[BraziliAna]

I guess you worried in vain...

[undocumentedspot]

lol, HS, you still remember that? 1 year past. I guess it is the anniversary of our zombie comments, let's drink beers, cheers!

I was joking by the way in my 1 year old comment.

[XrAwrXthekillerskill]

I really don't agree with what jjas89 said, I think that yes you can relate with this song's meaning because you were around when this happened, but just because the younger generations weren't around for that horrible event, doesn't mean that we can't respect and understand just what happened on that day, and what this song means, we have gone through something like what this song is about ourselves,It's just unfair to say that Daughtry doesn't feel every bit as passionate about this song as U2

[JDoubleOP]

wow...great performance dudes. Flat out.

[AchtungBabypt]

!!!

i'm impressed!!

pretty damn good cover!

[haringsoep]

The lead singer sounds a little bit like bono in hi's younger years. Anyways good cover.

[Roachsal]

The point of a cover is to remake the song in the artist fashion... if he/she sounded identical to the original then it wouldn't be a cover, it would be a duplicate. o_O

[ScarTissuetwo]

not good. stick to american idol music

[GNRjungle87]

wow, the guitar is REALLY bad

but the vocals are surprisingly decent

[r8rfan9]

This is definitely the best cover(musically) of this song yet. I just watched pretty much every cover on YouTube and this takes it. And yes, jjas89 you're totally right, you and U2 (both having been there) are the only ones who can appreciate this song.

[sartanacartoons]

this song is okay but it is still better by u2 but this song is alright

[jjas89]

this is terrible, they have no experience of what this song is about. this song is not a simple rock song, for us who've experience of the troubles it's much more passionate. leave it to u2.......they're the only ones qualified to sing this.

[MrGrey76]

You've experienced this? That's just rubbish. You're 19 yrs old, and the occasion this song is about is older than 19 yrs. Maybe your parents experienced this awful action, but you? Give me a break m8.

[jjas89]

why you think all this ended after bloody sunday? sure. communities experienced this shite for a long time, and still do to a certain extent. so yes i have.

[MrGrey76]

I'm not saying that everything ended. That would be to lie, but since a majority, both N.I and RoI, people doesn't give a f*ck 'bout being reunited and the Brit's going home and only narrow-minded and ignorant people that can't accept that N.I never gonna be a part of the republic. The "war" will continue and the ultra-wing parties will survive. Come to peace with yourselfs instead and live side by side, like normal civilized persons.

[jjas89]

who the fuck are you to preach about this?your in sweden! i want peace more than anyone. i do not support either cause. but when you know people who have been killed, their families ruined. their houses trashed by the soldiers. it tends to be an issue. so stay out. we don't need people preaching on us, particularly those who don't know what they're talking about. good day.

[MrGrey76]

I lived my first 16 yrs of my life in Dublin m8, and NOT ONCE I heard anyone speak good 'bout the people living in N.I. Cat's or prot's. "They are the same shite, fighting in a sandbox". There are reasons why British soldiers and prot's f*cked the cat population, equal to the fact that the cat population f*cked the British troops and prot's. It's a circle of hatred, as it is nowadays in Balkan.

[jjas89]

ah fuck off. dont even reply anymore. you're going on what you have heard people say. you have no experience of it. just stay quiet.

[MrGrey76]

Grow up kiddo, thats all I can say to you.

[Bruni93]

wow, this is one of the best U2 covers i ever heard. really great! mostly the bands who cover U2 turns their great songs into crap but daughtry didn't! great! 5*****!

[Carelesshottie1]

very good duughtry needs to make a song with u2

[Tweed90Wrestling]

American Idol sucks people, everybody who has won the show have done nothing good after winning it, except kelly Clarkson

only daughtry and the guy who sing "She Bangs" have been making money after AI

[sparklexoshinexo]

okay, yeah his voice cracks, but thats kinda how his style is. i love this cover and im probly just saying that because i love daughtry.

& yeah joey (drummer) is an amazing singer, but i dont think he's as good as chris.

my opinion (:

[princessp2121]

it seems like his voice kinda cracks.

[supershadow1]

Not too shabby, one of the better covers i have heard.

[birdieboy91]

this is no where near as good as u2...and any band that has TWO guitarists doing the work of one is just kinda sad
