Watched this video bout 20 times! Wot a gig!! They should make a superband! I'm a massive U2 fan but if The Killers n Coldplay carry on n are still around in 30 years Irecon they'll be bigger than U2. Wish I'd been there!
This was on a U2 site "This line in ATTTIHD by the Killers is an awesome lyric in my opinion. I bet Bono wishes he wrote it. Well in the current issue of RS (one with Colbert on it) Brandon Flowers was asked about that particular lyric, he says "I was listening to a lot of U2's the Joshua Tree and All that you can't leave behind and it kind of happened." Thats awesome how such a bono-escque line could happen from listening to u2." SO there you go.....THAT is why he finished it off
I know he is. I am just saying he was inspired by a U2 song and since Bono was there he had Bono finish the song? I like the killers...I was referring to those who think Bono 'showboated' and 'took over' when it was supposed to be that way with him finishing the song.... :)
How is Gary Barlow the worst thing that's ever happened to music?!
Everyone has their own opinion but that's rediculous...he's got a better voice than anyone in that video (no offence) and he's an amazing songwritter...I mean, he's inspired alot of people so you know...(Y)
hang on one second he might have a good voice but no one can match bono skills and for u to say that he has the best voice up there now thats ridiculas
Everyone. Bono's motto last tour was "The goal is soul." Therefore I am pretty sure as Flowers is a fan he tailored the "I've got soul but I am not a soldier..." Therefore Flowers wanted him to finish the song off.....they don't just pull this crap out of their arses....they plan it in advance....Bono comes on last and finishes it too....
titch7 - as a musician Gary Barlow has every right to be there. At least he knows his way round a keyboard (quite brilliantly actually). Christ ... the guy was working his ass off in clubs and pubs since he was 12 years old! He probably knows more than those that he's up there with! And certainly more than Bono!
Oh yes and we all know, that great music comes from the pubs and clubs, along with shit cabaret, vomit, chavs, pikeys and the general desocialisation of Britain!! Now my mum has the new take that album, and she plays it in car quite a lot, with myself, trying to switch to the radio quickly before she can stop me! The lack of inventivity and quality is quite immense. I'm telling you now Gary Barlow is the worst thing that has ever happened to music!!
And you are just a freakin snob! I suppose you think Bono is great! Says it all really. Chris Martin I can understand ... good musician and singer ... but Bono - self-righteous pompous talent-free zone.
Look I'm not a great fan of Bono personally either, but he's a great vocalist and has an intriguing voice, much better than Mr. Barlow, and U2 produce quality music that I want to listen to!! And Snob ha! Far from it my friend!!
This was such an amazing performance, it's not often that you get three great bands doing something like this together (i don't count gary barlow :P)
This is one of my favourite songs, and i think that brandon has a right to be a wee bit arrogant (even though he's not) as he's written some great songs. I wish I'd been there.

Only Killers fans would have shit taste like that. Are we human or are we dancer? Fuck off with that shit. Radiohead and U2, either band alone would destroy The Killers. And they definitely won't have the longevity that either band has.

Why does everybody have to slag off Bono all the time?
He's not as big a twat as Flowers. What a douche, the asshole actually had the nerve to say his band was better than Radiohead and U2. LOL what a little shit.

Leprachauns are unreal,a myth just like bono.its just such a great comparison,little bloated evil greedy big mouthed irish "thing".Works perfect to describe bono.Look him like a LChaun up there"look at meee,dont look at them,I'm th one meeeee!" pathetic.Come down off your elevator boots bono,let th new blood have a chance,you egomaniacal, fascist, nwo ,leprachaun.
so your saying if i called you a fat yank, would it have the same effect as it would on bono being called a leprechaun? fuckin sterotypical american prick
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
look at bono up there tryin to hog th spotlight,tryin so hard to remain relevant.Give it a rest you old fascist take your sexy elavator shoes back to th U.N.,your done old man u2s dead you cant compete with th youngsters they blow your bloated, greedy ass out of th water.Go back to sucking up to politicians,new world order leprachaun,you look ridiculous up there.
Relevant? Bono? oohhoo just wait. Even Chris Martin said they wont be the greatest band in the world today ...."U2 is back, back in March, so we will be back to being substitute teachers."....haha....their next album is brilliant...playing now at u2s myspace. Just wait.-and the shoes are becuz of the amt of rain pp get in Ireland...even Larry Mullen Jr wears em....
Apparently that Steve Vai jibe at the beginning has some background to it.
I just read on Rolling Stone that because Coldplay are involved in a plagiarism lawsuit with Joe Satriani, over 'Viva la Vida' being a rip off of Satriani's track 'If I Could Fly'.

Meh, crappy video and the audio is horrible when it got really loud. I would rather watch a pro tape this using professional equipment then some kid using their cell phone.
haha i have to admitt being there when bono sung it was a bit like does he know the tune? i mean bono is a legend in his own right but he just didnt get it last night! still AMAZING though! bless chris martin almost physically abusing gary barlow to get him back onstage for the "i got soul" chants!
This wasn't on The Brits because it's WAAAAY to good and cool to upgrade that farce! Coldplay + The Killers got no awards out of 7, yet this grand performance just made the Brits look utter shite!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
thats disgusting all those people trying to take videos and take pictures?? you want other people to watch it? if i was there i'd want to view it with my own eyes
I guess Bono just couldn´t help claiming center stage instead of letting Brandon finish off the way he usually does. He did sort of spoil an otherwise epic performance... Well, I suppose you do have to consider that he´s been in this business since even before Brandon was born!!! No wonder he thinks he deserves to sing it any way he wants!
maybe u already kno but Bono prob like the "I got soul but I am not a soldier." because their last tour one of the main themes was "The goal is Soul" and he has always said he is a soldier for peace. "There is but one flag, the white flag." See ricku2s vid "u2 zoo tv running to stand still listen to the first 4 minutes at least,,,,very good
I had the shivers the ENTIRE time. That performance, my friend, was filled to the rim with epic sauce. Thank you x a million for the upload!!!
