First of this is a exellent song, this particular version is a good performance, Edge's contribution is exellent. U2 Are an awesome band Johnny Cash Was one of the all times greatest performing artist.
and instead of "I was sure I was the one" he says " i was hoping i was the one". everyone only notices the gun part. But that just shows you are not a true fan and you don't know the original lyrics or what Bono is doing with them in this song which, although he wrote, he is now doing as a tribute to Johnny.

They may have wrote it but Johnny was made to sing it. I hate U2 with a passion but I gotta say this was good even without Johnny. Except for edge's womanly yelps... Sorry dude... Doesn't work with the song. Keep playin the guitar tho!
@wesott11 Well this song was made by U2 and originally Bono was ment to sing it. But at some point Bono insisted that he wanted Johnny to sing it. U2 are epic, no one will ever be as great as them. :)
@wesott11 I agree about the falsetto bit, it reminds me of Runaway by Del Shannon ("I wa wa wa wa wonder, why she ran away..."). I think that's where he got it from. It doesn't suit this song imo.
Actually BrokenChair88 still does it every now and then i saw a Pink Floyd video about a week ago and he wrote it about a few days after the video was posted.
@extreme67 - just so everyone knows - this guy thinks he's being really clever writing "U2 wrote Miami" on every U2 video but actually he's just copying off another annoying prick who used to write 'Pink floyd wrote "dogs" on every floyd video on youtube years ago.. so well done - very original dickhead....
bono's voice ALWAYS surprises me. In "the hands that built american" i was like wtf, because I had thought the high part was done by the edge or someone else. In this song, i just did not think bono could do it, and once more I stand sorely corrected. With tunes like "Bad" and "with or without you", I don't know why i get surprised, but bono, you always please my eardrums every time I hear something new. :)
It's a U2 song that they recorded with Cash singing it. C'mon dude,everybody knows that. Cash loved the U2ers. Check out U2's album,"ZOOROPA". You'll find Johnny there.
This song was played well by the WHOLE band! I don't think Edge, "saved" anything. It was just a typical U2 performance. Even though U2 wrote this song and let Johnny record with them backing him....I actually like this version better. It's more rock-n-roll.
Ich habe nur zum Ausdruck gebracht, dass es mir nicht gefällt (zumindest Edge sein Gequake, es verdirbt den Song). Es hört sich an, als würde eine Ente quaken...
just heard bono / johnny cash / tom petty / willie nelson and forget the rest, "Give me back my job" . they are SOUNDING legends, and many thanx to allmemphismusic
I was very happy to hear them cover this song that they wrote; never was a big J.Cash fan. This made me want to listen to this song all over again but, in a whole different light.
@erniebme Johnny is worth giving a listen...he made a lot of great music that transcended formats and touched and influenced a lot of artists from Dylan to U2 and beyond.
First of this is a exellent song, this particular version is a good performance, Edge's contribution is exellent. U2 Are an awesome band Johnny Cash Was one of the all times greatest performing artist.
But the Cash U2 version is the best.
