[indychik93]

1000th like <3 most powerful moment is DEFINATELY the 'lesson today is HOW TO DIE!!' that raised fist in victory is just one of the best moments of music history :D WAYTOGOBOB!!!

[RickyRatte]

if you know the background of the song, you notice that the happy melody is totaly sick...

[blaziken169]

@RickyRatte I know the background i think.

Didnt like some girl shoot and kill some people at here school and then have as reason why She just didnt like Mondays?

[QUACKGOESZEDUCK]

@blaziken169 A girl on monday shot 16 kids in a school and when asked why by the offercer she said "I don't like mondays"

[Howard00Wolowitz]

@RickyRatte The melody isn't overly happy. Fast paced =/= happy

[chillimansarmy]

"FUCKING KILL YOU ALL, MOTHERFUCKERS" Nah just kidding, I don't like Wednesdays

[kingkonman4]

I love Bob and will defend him all the way he is a one of forget sir should b e saint bob i think :)

[martock36]

Perhaps the best performance I have ever seen. His raw emotion is so pure and undeniable. The way he circles around at 2:47 to 3:00 shows He is the real deal.

[ieshaparsons]

Geldof Will Be Respected

[MrRobroe1986]

Feeding people who are starving of course is a noble cause but the people of Africa have been starving for centuries. Don't you think it's time for them to learn how to feed themselves??? The rest of the world seems to be able to more or less do it why can't they??? It says a lot about them.

[16Pitcairn16]

Thanks Sir Bob for this song will see you tonite in zurich 10/4/11

[jarileigh]

@CrowsNestDimo90 What is wrong with that? The fact that he became a successful business person (& his wife worked at the TV station he owned) how does that in any way distract from all the good he's done & everything he's accomplished???? How much time he's spent on charity for free??? Why criticize him for spending $ like any other celebrity just b/c he organized the largest charity event making more $ than any other in the history of music???? That makes absolutely ZERO sense!

[elvisluvu]

the 29 haters, likes mondays :D

[AliceMarr]

In Memory of Mitchell Wilson, an 11 year old Canadian child that committed suicide over a bully.

[AliceMarr]

A truly good man. Thank you for so much Bob.

[itsawalsh]

@CrowsNestDimo90 at least he does something, what have you done to relieve poverty?

[MrKvgalen]

Bob Geldof – no wonder he's such an expert on famine. He's been dining out on I Don't Like Mondays for 30 years

[itsawalsh]

@MrKvgalen as said by russell brand 

[ksb1219]

i love how much passion he puts into his voice. it makes the song that much more powerful.

[shawnhegedus1]

the song is about a girl whom had a 22 her dad bought he in San Diego CA and started shooting kid on a playground across from her house

[stephenkws]

@BandOnTheRunLfc Russell Brand Nah?

[femkantigkat]

the people who disliked this, proberly dont know why bob did this thing called live aid.

He did this because he was raising money to the ones who dident have any food and was about to die on etiopia. ALL of the musicans who played att this event, played FOR FREE. dislikeing this video is like dislike a life.

[pianopeart]

He can't sing for toffee!

[brebear7911]

His song is good but his singing was bad no offense... Soz. :/

[MrRjmac]

Just watched a program about Live Aid and am not impressed by what i saw. It was a media/government controlled event, that focused less on Africa and more on the celebs and singers. It lied about the money they had made threw the event and Bono and this guy are greedy manipulative people. I was angered after seeing the program. Look at Africa now.

[coolphilipp]

great song ;)

[Ancotripi]

Por cierto este concierto se celebró el mismo verano en que conocí a la mujer de mi vida y aunque no estoy con ella, no puedo olvidarla.

[Ancotripi]

UNA GRAN CANCION PARA UNA TRISTE HISTORIA,

ME SIGUE EMOCIONANDO DESPUES DE MAS DE TREINTA AÑOS

[1213grumpy]

Great song about something so wrong

[marinamilenkovic]

Love me some Bob Geldof!!!

[pinballsmile]

If vocal ability was the only criteria for being on a stage, there are many respected rock and pop figures who would never have become known to us (and many who wouldn't have made it past round one of Idol based on looks). 3:10-3:30 of this clip is an iconic popular culture moment. Just finished reading Geldof's bio - he'd been working 20 hours a day for weeks prior to this, and still getting calls at 2am on the day of this event. I'm willing to excuse him if he sounds a bit rough.

[MsRabenschwarz]

crap!.he cant sing

[CelticProgeny]

@MsRabenschwarz He's not a "singer" he's a guy with a message and a conscience who questions tragedy.

[Indomi2008]

Bob is the star .

[Badadaboom]

With all due respect, but this live version of the song sucks!! Compared to other artists of the time he can't sing at all. In fact, he wouldn't make it trough the first round in an Idols show.

[CelticProgeny]

@Badadaboom It's Ok, you've been fed that much crap you'll never understand :)

[MsRabenschwarz]

@Badadaboom

[wicky1925]

brill song

[ATOMIKDOG23]

i remember live aid like it was yesterday ....................biggest gig of all time

[lunita1002]

i love you bob geldof.........so many.....

[rosemaya48]

Yes. It is The Boomtown Rats. NOT Bob Geldof and the Boomtown Rats. They should show respect to the other band members. They are not Bob's support staff, they are his equal members. And look at the huge crowd. Pathetic. Definitely pre-internet times when people were less connected and sought fame by being close to the famous. Any live concert or sporting event I ever went to due to the hype of media promotion was always a disappointment. The performers are all self-promoting egoists.

[cizia69]

His only way to play for a large venue, what a pathetic phony!

[giantchick408]

I don't like tuesdays and wednesdays also.

[MrLeckmichampopo]

schönes lied

[MrsTaraBieber]

Bob Geldof is my cousins godfather... Just sayin...

[abehammy]

@MrsTaraBieber have you met him before?

[MrsTaraBieber]

@abehammy No, not that I remember, but i think when i was a baby.

[WorkingAgainstWalls]

Geldof perversely described the JNF [the ethnic cleansing arm of the Zionist project stealing Palestinians’ land and water] as:

“the JNF ‘got’ the idea of sustainability & the importance of water over 100 years ago”.

It's like stating slavery liberated Africa.

Shameless Geldof is also photographed with a JNF official by a huge Israeli flag:

jnf.org.au/jnfuture/news.cfm?i­d=6&site=ng_nsw

While David Cameron UK PM resigned from the JNF, Bob Geldof sings its praises.

[onlinelondon]

Bob Geldof 最高！！

I dont like mondays　このフレーズが耳に残ります!!

[SimonThe1st]

How much money did this pathetic vocalist make from this "charity" con. I gather he's a multi millionaire. Strange that .

[batsuper89]

Well

[MyChemicalRomance288]

i thought I was cold, but I got goose-pimples

[ceffyl13]

That's cos Paul McCartney was crap...The Beatles broke up, John Lennon and George Harrison wrote absolutely wonderful music...Paul McCartney formed Wings and composed the Frog Chorus. He was a fraud.

[highwayman7]

@ceffyl13 If your statements had any validity, they might be interesting. They don't and they aren't. Paul and John were arguably the greatest songwriting team ever.

[ynotlaz]

make that SIR Bob Geldof

[pjvenner]

@ynotlaz : He was made a 'Sir' purely for enabling a new way for our government to spend our money under the guise of 'foreign aid'.

[ynotlaz]

@pjvenner Oh you must be right. I'm sure thats the reason why... purely. lol bloody stupid

[pjvenner]

@ynotlaz : OK, My bad. How bloody stupid am I for not realising that he was knighted for solving (or even helping) the problem of starving children in Africa.

[mafiahitmen100]

the only good geldelf song this is great memories are sacreat

[SuperNikkirose]

bloody class!!

[SuperNikkirose]

class!!!!!

[Retro80Lady30]

Talentless scum bag sets other people up because can't sing.

[CarmineTree]

Stupid song, ungly singer and shitty band. Yeah, this is really shit.

And I am telling that even when I know the meaning behind this song, I know all about that shooting. This song sucks and the meaning is fucked up. Geldof is talentless twat, ugly hypocrite. I want back those minutes of my life when I gave him a chance and tried to listen to his music, its that bad.

[Tomlinsky]

@CarmineTree Still, the fact of the matter is that he at least tried, and suceeded, in helping more people that suffer a god awful existence than you or I will do before we depart this planet. Those people don't get to pop on YouTube asking for minutes of their lives back. Not a huge fan musically either here but he, and people like him, can whistle Twinkle Twinkle Little Star out of his asshole whenever he likes as far as I'm concerned.

[CarmineTree]

@Tomlinsky Geldof spoke about the tragedy of Third World poverty on a charity event in Melbourne this November. He charged $100,000 for his speech, organizators also paid for the luxury hotel and first-class airfares he requested. Fellow activist Tim Costello spoke for free.

He was on the verge of personal bankrupt before he co-organized LiveAid (a lot of money from LiveAid was lost/never reached Africa). Now he is milionaire,who is making money from the poorest people on the world. Hypocrite.

[Tomlinsky]

@CarmineTree Have a nice day.

[CarmineTree]

@Tomlinsky Have a nice day too ;)

[ulv1981]

@CarmineTree can you prove all these allegations? or do we just have to believe what u r saying?????

[jarileigh]

@CarmineTree Not true, where do you English people get your information? I think you read too many trashy magazines (which he refuses to respond to). Why don't you pick up one of his books on LiveAid or Africa & read THAT, then maybe you will get some FACTS, because the money DID go to Africa, & he used the same skills he used to organize LiveAid to make his OWN money. It's all totally documented, but you people jus read whatever trashy thing is written about him & believe it!

[CarmineTree]

@jarileigh 1st, I'm not English. 2nd, for your info, I have read his book. For Christ's sake, it's his own book, of course he is not talking about his dirty practices there, who would!? Make some research and you will see it's not trashy magazines questioning where those lost money from Live Aid are. Try to read book called Dead Aid for the start. Part of those money really went to Africa, but huge amount is lost and suddenly, Geldof is a millionaire. Wow, it sure was only coincidence, right?

[jarileigh]

@CarmineTree 1st Why would you read a book written by a man you hate? 2nd I'm not speaking about his first book, but his second, which if you had read, you would know is detailed about his trips to Africa to speak to the politicians there & how to best spend the money 3rd You would know his businesses and exactly how he made his money, and the only coicidence is that he had TIME to make money, he owns quite a few businesess that are easlily checked!!!!! Lastly, there will always be haters!

[jarileigh]

@CarmineTree And don't even say he laundered the money, because he explains how he MADE his money, and he explains how the money of Live Aid was spent! You just have to dig a little to get the info on how he spent years of his life to this cause, speaking to politicians in dangerous areas to try to get food,etc to the people of the areas controlled by criminals, more or less.

[CarmineTree]

@jarileigh I read it, because I wanted to know if he wrote something about what happened with Michael Hutchence, whom he hated and tried to destroy, about why he is trying to keep everybody from Tigers biological family away from her life. She was not even allowed to be on her grandparents funeral. I once thought he is a good person. The way he uses charity to pay him huge money for just speaking, the way he covers Peaches drug scandals... The more I know about him, the more am I disgusted.

[OleVanDole]

Sounds shit.

[bennibrave33]

@SIMPLEman612 - It would be John Lennon and The Beatles, gosh...

[bennibrave33]

@SIMPLEman612 - It'd be John Lennon and the Beatles, gosh...

[xdaniellecooper]

Bob Geldof is such an amazing person. I have so much respect for this man like you wouldn't believe.

[sandygrayhkg]

Thanks M I love you too:)

[wendyalexanderwpa]

Bob Geldof WAS the boomtown rats..... Name another member, that anyone knows? Harsh but true!!!

[the3aremine1]

@wendyalexanderwpa ERRRR fanny by gaslight ???

[sexysport201]

@wendyalexanderwpa freddie mercury and queen lets be fair once freddie died so did queen.

[llucan01]

What about "I Never Loved Eva Braun" his 'happiest, cheeriest, best upbeat song about Hitler ever written'

[RmMakeupx]

omg get this off my dad didnt give you his permisson to put him on youtubee xD

[joms67]

bob is like a jesus for our times. i love him!

[appleheadTV1]

Such an underated band!

[zitam41]

wow, i'm back in my teens, i just love this number, played it every sunday evening, before bedtime :D, mom and daddy didn't think it was funny ;)

[MegaTrumpy]

i think it wud b tasteless if michael moore made a musical bout columbine! wots bobs excuse!!!! hiding behind pink floyds music/brilliance! mamamia!

[MastaChief117]

Who knew Pink was an actual musical artist?

[larsi31]

Where has the official video gone?

[MrGerardWayLover]

@larsi31 I have noo Idea :( I can't find it :(

[markillingworth1972]

silly pretty thing? new song from bob? anyone heard it?

[markillingworth1972]

radio 2 are playing a bob geldof song. is it a new one by him?

where is it on here????????????

[MangaVampire0]

O_o Oh god i didn't know it was about that girl who everyone was talking about she commited loads of murders , i look at this song very differently now . its still brilliant though , the song not what happened

[DerJulian97]

HE LOOKS LIKE JERRY SEINFELD!!!

[sandyp196]

it was one of those days when you remeber what you were doing, where you were and who with... i was 15, with my best mate, drinking bow, babysitting, and using the phone to ring boys we were mad about lol

[matapod]

amazing that this song was inspired by a 16 year old girl who killed 8 school kids and a cop

????

[ljohnso6]

@matapod The 16 year old girl was/is Brenda Spencer and she didn't kill 8 school children. She wounded 11 school children and 1 cop. She killed a janitor and the assistant principal. It is said that she was sexually abused by her Father, who also bought her the 22 caliber shotgun for Christmas.

After hours of raining bullets onto the schoolyard, a reporter phoned her and asked why she was doing this... her answer was, "I don't like Mondays!"

[MastaChief117]

@ljohnso6 22 caliber shotgun? Wow! The technology these days amazes me!

And also, Geldof actually sounds like Pink. Except worse. Which is not at all to his benefit. In fact he straight up blows.

[saintjimmygreenday6]

Bob geldof is soooo hot

[ck12321212]

wonder what he was thinking when he stood on the stage.... wow what had he done

[Mims94evs]

What a hero! I whish there were more people like him in the world: abitious to the point of idiocy, somewho cares about the important things like life and less about reputation.

[Tasbo1982]

Does anybody know where I can find the video of Geldof berating Thatcher about the destruction of subsidised butter mountains - where she says, they cant eat butter mr geldof....

I really would love to watch that.

[gingy0vitus]

i fancy this man. alot. and im a 90's kid, unfortunately¬_¬

[RobzFanpire]

@gingy0vitus ....Same ¬_¬

[8000cheese]

those are some very 80's lookin haircuts right there...lol

[MermaidBlueFins]

I can't believe how popular this song got and it was inspired by Brenda Spencer who only 16 went on a shooting spree and killed two adults and hurt children.

[oldbag010101]

Fucking Pommie flag in distance FUCK YOU !

[nevillejking]

@oldbag010101 Ummm, it was at Wembley Stadium!

[nevillejking]

@oldbag010101 You have something against a piece of cloth??? Oh, I guess its the people you don't like. Anyhow, this was at Wembley Stadium!!!

[oldbag010101]

@nevillejking

yeh , actually I do i dont like the British flags in Northern Ireland .

[oldbag010101]

POWER TO THE PEOPLE

[legaata]

It sounds like he is on drugs or something...

[oldbag010101]

@legaata

no he is just Irish and usually says what he means

[Patricklolzen]

The message with this song is amazing..

R.I.P all victims of School shoothing..

[DerDeziBelzeBub]

auch wenn er nicht der größte sänger ist, dieser song ist definitiv ein klassiker ;-)

[baggybug]

i dont like mondays and JUSTIN BIEBER iwanna shoot

[SIMPLEman612]

i hate it when they do that! its not bob geldof and the boomtown rats, its just the boomtown rats..

you dont hear people saying paul mcartney and the beatles

[MrMayhaps]

@SIMPLEman612

i heat ya, but i think they say that here caue he is with his original lineup for the song...he always didnt paly with them..anyway, it kinda bugs me as well :)

[MrMayhaps]

@SIMPLEman612

i hear ya, but i think they say that here cause he is with his original lineup for the song...he always didnt play with them..anyway, it kinda bugs me as well :)

[nevillejking]

@SIMPLEman612 I don't think he's being singled out as separate - I think he deserves a special mention for putting this huge event that is Live Aid together!???

[Si1verpaw]

@SIMPLEman612 the message on the bottom of the screen when he walked on, was introducing the Boomtown rats. I think the reason they was introduced by the announcer as "Bob Geldof and the Boomtown rats" is because he was the one who organised it and it together, tis all.

[KDAWWWG626]

@SIMPLEman612 well thats because they would say John Lennon and the beatles.

[ikkeryger]

@KDAWWWG626 not, John Lennon was him....

[HansDiscus]

@SIMPLEman612 no but it's Paul Mcartney and the Wings lol

[Dorianday2007]

@SIMPLEman612 This song should be banned. No wonder there are so many gunman! :O(( Many Greetings from CH-Zurich! =0_0=

[RachieRoosky]

@SIMPLEman612 I think the only reason they emphasized him was because he created Live Aid

[hetfieldisgod9110]

@SIMPLEman612 The Rats were no longer together hence the Bob Geldof and tag.

[diator]

@SIMPLEman612 I think during the bandaid/liveaid era it was fair to put him on a pedestal. The man moved mountains for millions of suffering people, pretty sure the rest of the rats didn't mind.

[ulv1981]

@SIMPLEman612 it's because nobody knows the boomtown rats........:)

[supersesqui]

@SIMPLEman612

So who exactly is doing the singing solo ?

[tperkie]

@supersesqui

Its not Freddy Mercury and Queen, but Freddy is the only one who sings. Bob Geldof is the only one singing because he is what is known as the lead singer, he is not separate from the band

[AnjyLovesMusic]

@SIMPLEman612

i think this is because it was bob geldof who initiated live aid and not the boomtown rats. so they said his name separated...

[Redhairedlady65]

Great performance

[joecoyote42]

Gee Bob, the world is still not listening. Sad isn't it. There seems to be just a few of us trying to fix the world, and the shallow people condemn us.

[sammy11232003]

oooh i adore this man i would marry him in a heartbeat

[fatherfackerr]

sexy rock star!!!

[mudakoger]

[sned10000]

self righteous prick

[chaosofscotty]

@sned10000 three chickens died in the light to serve your needs! Oh by the way live in the real world my little prick lover. don't understand do you? Well that is the problem is it not? Enjoy the death of understanding.

[MrKingknorke]

nice song!



[hamsteradorable]

omg its Pink

[EternityEyes]

Sir Bob Geldof is a saint, getting Band and Live Aid together. I personally would have liked to see him scarf that microphone stand down the throat of the guy who screwed him over by NOT SENDING THE FOOD BY PLANE! >:(

He even inspired me to start up my own project that I've named Book End. All the proceeds are going to buy and fix up an empty apartment building in Toronto, and then turn it into a place where the homeless can go and get back on their feet again for free. It'll be great.

[qtkitty4u]

@EternityEyes I honestley think they should just leave bob alone. His living his life

[craigmacnaughton]

I don't like Mondays, but I DO like the lad from Dún Laoghaire Ireland.

Happy birthday Bob Geldof ッ ☮
