My best friend and I were helping my dad's friend move like 15 years ago and he 'paid' us by ordering KFC and we ate and he hooked up tv and put on a dvd or something of a concert of theirs and they were doing With or Without and Bono pulled a girl up on stage and they just laid down next to each on stage while he sang and it made me fall in love with the song so much and it's still my fav of theirs to this day)
My brother absolutely loved U2, he sadly passed away in July... we were very close and sometimes being so close leads to intense emotions.. we fought but always made up , but I was sick n he reached out n I rejected it.. I'll never forgive myself as months later he had a stroke... I still remember him in the hospital grabbing my arm begging for help... my heart shattered... ok I know I'm blabbing but please take this as a moment to love your family n those dearest... not a lecture but try... I never knew I'd lose my buddy my best friend my brother so quickly... thus was his favourite song n we played it at his funeral... lots of love to you all n please , enjoy n value what you have xxx
U2 is one of my favorite bands. I prefer their older stuff like New Year's Day, Sunday Bloody Sunday, Pride (In the Name of Love) but my Favorite is All I Want is You. Love that one!
Yes can I hit the like button a 1000 times to get the most. I prefer U2 when they were more political and had an opinion. Love all i want is you. But Pride is my favourite.
You say you'll give me diamonds and ring of gold your story to remain untold but all the promises we made from the cradle to the grave when all i want is you 😊
Totally agree old songs were good but the 90s songs were their ultimate peak which has failed to be repeated there are occasional songs of joy but they sound too much like 80s simple minds now.
u2 played once great songs... later only rubbish.. under a blood red sky was for example one of the best live lps ever (1983)... but latest since 1990 only mainstream sht...
@@seelenwinter6662 yes and no, while the quality started to dip during the 90s, there’s still plenty of great songs in there. I’d argue the real decline started on “How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb”, which was really only saved by one standout classic track.
@@shmick6079 Miracle Drug from that album was also lovely, but yeah I wouldn't put it among their best. I fully believe Every Breaking Wave from Songs of Innocence (ESPECIALLY the stripped version), and and Ordinary Love from the Mandela movie soundtrack are career GREATS though!
some u2 songs to consider... 1. so cruel 2. lemon 3. who's gonna ride your wild horses 4. trying to throw your arms around the world 5. until the end of the world
My favorite part is when he reaches the lyric "love is a temple" and so on. That's when I'm already on Cloud Nine. And yeah, EVERY. FUCKING. TIME. For years and years now.
Ok... so now.. you need to go look up the "one" cover by Chris Cornell.(Dark grey tshirt video) Chris sings the lyrics to Metallica's One, by the melody of U2's One. Trust me on this... chills chills chills, powerful powerful powerful. Makes me tear up everytime i hear it. Also, ive been a U2 fan since Joshua Tree was released. My older sister got me listening to them when i was a teenager. Im 42 now. Alex, if you are looking for a good wedding song, (Congrats btw) U2's "All I Want is You" off the Rattle and Hum album is a primo choice. Other good U2 songs: (too many) Bad (studio or Live Aid version) So Cruel (emotional song & lyrics) Numb (Edge actually sings that song and its weird, but a cool weird)
Being a 40 year fan of U2, it is so much fun to see such a happy, genuine, passionate young guy show some love for the greatest rock band AND rock crooner of all time~ There is a live version of One where Bono includes some love for his wife Ali as the band was wrapping up (Ith ink the 360 tour or earlier) and instead of Hallelujah, he screams "Ali-lujah, I'm coming home Ali, Ali-lujah, I am coming home!" Echoing others, All I Want Is You, Streets, but also obscure tunes like Drowning Man, Tomorrow or even Miss Sarajevo (you might enjoy Pavarotti).
Great reaction to one of my favourite U2 songs. This song actually saved the band as they had hit several dead ends whilst recording Achtung Baby. The album was a big change in style and direction and was described by the band as "four men chopping down The Joshua Tree", which was the name of their biggest album. Apparently The Edge was just in the studio playing the chords and Bono started singing words to fit in with the tune. They managed to get something going then both Adam and Larry came in and started to suss out their parts and played along. That gave them something to build on and a renewed hope that they make an album. Bono's vocals and lyrics on this sing were spot on. The one line that sticks out for me is "We get to carry each other" as it sounds more of a privilege than a chore.
Paul David Hewson (born 10 May 1960), known by his stage name Bono, is an Irish singer, songwriter, philanthropist, activist, venture capitalist, businessman, and actor. He is best known as the lead vocalist and primary lyricist of rock band U2. He's just amazing. Check out U2 - Bad from Live Aid 1985.
Anything from the Joshua Tree album is great. I wore the friggin grooves off that album. However I think you check out "Bad" from the Unforgettable Fire album. It's an amazing track.
I totally second this, but would recommend the live version off "Wide Awake In America." It's my favorite - hearing that version is like hearing live for me, and feeling all of that energy. :)
This is off of one of the two best U2 Albums ever. The Joshua Tree was a cover to cover album so good they went and did a 40th year anniversary tour where the concert consisted of them playing the album straight through every night. This is off of Achtung Baby... Where the band reinvented themselves from straight rock to a dance club groove... Rock... You can't go wrong listening to anything off of either of those albums. Then you have newer (20 year olds) songs like Beautiful Day that just fn floor you.
Their songs from the 80's are outstanding, but you should check Achtung Baby as well, the album containing One. The world tour, ZooTv, was something out of this world and is still considered one of the most influencial in the history of rock
Yeah man, saw the Zoo tv show in Leeds’s Roundhay park. As far as big rock shows with all the bells and whistles, that one set standards which are still templates today.
How did I miss that you reacted to this?! This has always been one of my most favorite songs. I used to think if I was ever going to start singing karaoke, it would be my go to song.
Where the Streets Have no Name by U2. They filmed it on top of a liquor store in downtown L.A. despite the cops trying to shut them down. Free concert for tens of thousands of people. It's insane.
The sweetest thing.. Desire.. Pride (in the name of love).. Hold me,thrill me, kiss me,kill me.. Staring at the sun, who's gonna ride your wild horses,i still haven't found what I'm looking for.. Where the streets have no name..
Brian Eno Era U2 was my favorite era of U2, Albums with Brian Eno The Unforgettable Fire The Joshua Tree Achtung Baby Zooropa And some select songs after that album. "Miss Sarajevo" and "Moment of Surrender" is one that comes to mind.
Was lucky enough to be at the Joshua tree anniversary tour in Barcelona. It was one of the best experiences of my life. it's an incredible album that's definitely worth a reaction
U2 is in my top five when it comes to music. Listen to Electrical Storm (William Orbit Mix), another great 90's U2 classic. They are as good as the Beatles in my opinion.
I commented earlier on a personal level... but bono has one of those voices that just emotes... I'm Irish n it's crazy U2 were so hugh but you could go into a pub in Dublin n meet him... this song ( vocally) is very tame for his voice.... he's incredible xxx i would suggest songs but I'm 46 n grew up with them so dont know where to start... they formed this band at only 17 years old... a lot of his rasp n drive is in their earlier songs, again I can't there's decades of songs to go thru...
I grew up as a teen in 90's listening to these guys, went to POP concert in 98 at roundhay park uk, was awesome. I still have my ticket, covered in sellotape because it rained, thundered and lightened
You're just scratching the surface of U2. So much good music! Songs with a similar vibe would be sometimes you can't make it on your own and with or without you
I don't listen to U2 particularly, but they have many iconic tracks. From the tracks being sugggested you might find one that you recognise but didn't know it was them. 'With Or Without You' was one of those moments for me.
U2 are LEGENDS. They are known for their deep catalog and for their live performances-which sound just as good, if not better, than the studio tracks. Consider reacting to some U2 live performances: 1. “U2 - ALL I WANT IS YOU / WHERE THE STREETS HAVE NO NAME” Live at Slane Castle Epic transition & concert was just days after Bono’s dad, Bob, died & Bono was grieving but the band decided together to perform anyway. 2. “U2 - BAD (Live Aid 1985)“ Must be the Live Aid concert version; Iconic performance that changed the course of the band and was genuinely unplanned/off-the-cuff from halfway onward. 3. “[1983] U2 - SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY (live Rattle and Hum, 1988)“ Bold, political + musicianship & Bono in sublime voice.
The story behind this song is the clincher. Coming off the Joshua Tree they couldn't vibe. Sitting in the studio one night, almost ready to split, one of them stands up and just starts that intro. Cant recall if it was Bono or Edge. Immediately jammed out and it became this song. Then we got Achtung Baby. Amazing history to this band.
Highly recommend listening to "Bad" by U2 its such a powerful song. Also "Sunday bloody sunday", "Pride", and "Where the streets have no name" are all amazing songs
One double shot of U2 that i think goes together and also gives perspective of how gigantic their live show is would be All I Need Is You into Where the Streets Have No Name. Live from Slane Castle or Boston...both are readily available as a package on RUclips.
MANY of their "deeper" cuts are still golden: "Gloria" "Two Hearts Beat As One" "A Sort Of Homecoming" "The Unforgettable Fire" "Running To Stand Still" "Red Hill Mining Town" "In God's Country" "Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses" "Vertigo" "City Of Blinding Lights" etc.
My mother says that when I was a baby I had a lot of difficulty eating. And the only way my parents could get me to eat was by putting their U2 CDs and DVDs to play on the TV.
This is more like it, Alex. Thank you so much for this upload. Your taste seems to be improving for sure now. I just happen to be wearing my U2 shirt from the 2005 Vertigo Tour. Of course, this song you're experiencing is from their 1991 masterpiece album Achtung, Baby!
Gorgeous song by my favourite band =) This song is from their album Achtung Baby, which is when I discovered them, and I've been a fan ever since. You should listen to Pride, Staring at the Sun, Gone, Every Breaking Wave, Please, and then... everything else XD
My U2 story....'86.... in Las Vegas....came out of the Freemont in downtown Vegas with my Uncle Jimmy (we're Italian)....anyway, lotsa commotion going on and Metro (Vegas police) were everywhere....it was then we noticed some dude jumping on the hood of a car....U2 was making their "Where The Streets Have No Name" unbeknownst to us....so we started laughing at the dude on the car hood in traffic. It was Bono who was 20 feet from us, looked at us, walked over and said "you think that looked funny?" .... Jimmy and I looked at one another and at the same time said "hell no".... he laughed and said "are you guys twins?".... we all laughed.... Bono proceeded to sign my leg cast, took a few flicks with us, and gave my Uncle a Heineken! True story..... only in Vegas baby. U2 is an Institution and is without question top 20 band of ALL TIME..... check out "Bad" the live performance.... and the entire Joshua Tree album is considered by many to be perhaps one of the greatest albums ever.
U2 is legit bro. I wouldn’t call myself a super fan or anything, but from achtung baby and back they really couldn’t miss. War, New Year’s Day, anything from Joshua tree...all good shit.
Many more great songs to check out and not their all their “hits” Until The End of The World With or Without You Love is Blindness I Will Follow Ultraviolet Kite Where The Streets Have No Name The Fly Bad Running to Stand Still Magnificent Electric Co New Year’s Day Every Breaking Wave Gone Two Hearts Beat as One All I Want is You Your Blue Room Even Better Than The Real Thing Slow Dancin Lemon Out of Control Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me Red Flag Day Gloria
You might want to check out some of U2's other songs as they have over 14 studio albums; and have been going for over 40 years. Oh and also they happen to have sold more live than any other band in history. The Joshua Tree (1987) is one of the fastest selling albums of all time and is big in America but was gigantic in the late 80's/early 90's. Achtung Baby (1991) is probably U2's best album.
Hey dude! Man, your reaction to this was veeery genuine. One is a very special song. Very special. Other U2 songs? Here's the thing... U2's sound changes with almost every record. To be short, they went from punk, to post punk, to experimental rock, to rock/college rock, alternative rock, more alternative, techno rock. A song like One? If God Will Send His Angles is great. With or Without You is obviously up there. But there are so many unique sounds, and unique songs. Like an ungodly amount. Cheers!
Haha great “Irish” accent man! Seems U2 are more appreciated outside Ireland. Greetings from Dublin! Keep up the reactions. Love seeing people go outside their comfort zone re: music and enjoy it. Take care ✌️🤘
Honestly bro any song from their “Joshua Tree” album is beautiful. Give em a listen.
Joshua Tree is still my favorite album all time.
Agree.
So true
@Angel of Harlem Achtung Baby, beginning to end, is a complete masterpiece.
One is not on the Joshua Tree...
You gotta react to their song "with or without you".
And then do Corey Taylor CMFT live version! It's awesome :D
He'll recognize it from Friends
Great idea. The live performances of U2 are especially great
With or without you... then all of the Joshua tree.... bullet the blue sky is amazing
My best friend and I were helping my dad's friend move like 15 years ago and he 'paid' us by ordering KFC and we ate and he hooked up tv and put on a dvd or something of a concert of theirs and they were doing With or Without and Bono pulled a girl up on stage and they just laid down next to each on stage while he sang and it made me fall in love with the song so much and it's still my fav of theirs to this day)
"Did you come here for forgiveness? Did you come to raise the dead? Did you come here to play Jesus to the lepers in your head?" Best lines ever!
And the alternate live version, “did you come here to play Jesus... I did.”
Bono is an incredible lyricist+poet with a voice+ falceto to match! a rare talent Indeed!
My brother absolutely loved U2, he sadly passed away in July... we were very close and sometimes being so close leads to intense emotions.. we fought but always made up , but I was sick n he reached out n I rejected it..

Lots of great songs to choose from, "With or Without You" and "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For"...the videos for both are awesome
Omg the video for the latter is amazing right??
“Sunday Bloody Sunday” live at Red Rocks.
That whole concert was epic! Still sounds so good even today
Absolutely agree with you! That was their Best Phase

I came to recommend the same thing. It's such an amazing version, and somehow works amazingly
TrenchToast also “Rescue Me”
Beat me to it. Such an incredible version.
Yes, preach!

@@antoniomaraspin I'm pretty sure we all know what album this is from
@@antoniomaraspin Dude, Alex was asking for more U2 reactions and I suggested anything off the Joshua Tree album and/or the song Bad.
"In The Name Of Love" and "Where The Streets Have No Name" are two of their biggest hits of all time!!!
Vertigo. Awesome song by U2
U2 are one of those epic groups.
"With or Without You" has to be your next U2 Reaction!

Totally agreeeeee!!!!! 👍👍👍👍
I understand I’ve heard this song a thousand times it’s one of my favorite U2 songs.
That whole album kick serious ass,thanks for this...seen U2 many times live, they never, ever disapoint.
Sunday Bloody Sunday is a must!!!!!!!
You should do their song 'The Fly'....induces goosebumps errrtime
Just found your reaction to this, and yeah - U2 is epic, and this is one of their better songs and that's really saying something.
wow... i fn love this song
U2's "The unforgettable fire" is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. You should give it a try.
Totally.
How did I miss that you reacted to this?! This has always been one of my most favorite songs. I used to think if I was ever going to start singing karaoke, it would be my go to song.
U2's "Mysterious Ways" is great btw too
You need to listen to everything from Joshua tree...
All of it on repeat for years. Then you are reacting to my teenage years
Agree.
Where the Streets Have no Name by U2. They filmed it on top of a liquor store in downtown L.A. despite the cops trying to shut them down. Free concert for tens of thousands of people. It's insane.
'The Unforgettable Fire' was always my favorite of theirs.
WITH OR WITHOUT YOU. ❤
The sweetest thing.. Desire.. Pride (in the name of love).. Hold me,thrill me, kiss me,kill me.. Staring at the sun, who's gonna ride your wild horses,i still haven't found what I'm looking for.. Where the streets have no name..
That's a CLASSIC, bro! Timeless song.
For a mind blowing U2 performance Live at Slane Castle, especially Where The streets Have No Name.
This is a perfect song
I've listened to this song about a million times, seeing your reaction is refreshing.
React to ,,In the name of love" and ,,She moves in mysterious ways" U2. Thosa are beautifull songs.
Pride and Mysterious Ways to make it easier for Alex to find. Not being judgemental, I’m assuming English isn’t your first language.
There's a reason why U2 are pretty much the biggest pop rock band of the '80s.
Gotta be pride in the name of love
A beautiful Irish voice, song & band!
Brian Eno Era U2 was my favorite era of U2,
Albums with Brian Eno
The Unforgettable Fire
The Joshua Tree
Achtung Baby
Zooropa
And some select songs after that album. "Miss Sarajevo" and "Moment of Surrender" is one that comes to mind.
U2 is an amazing band, One is an amazing song and that was an amazing reaction!
"You gave me nothing, now it's all I've got" ... POW!
Listen to album Joshua Tree by U2
Agree.
Its my fav album of all time, every song is just so good!
It’s regarded as one of The great albums for good reason.
U2 is my favourite of all time:) love them
It's been forever since I've heard this. Ive got legit goosebumps for the last 3 minutes.
Was lucky enough to be at the Joshua tree anniversary tour in Barcelona. It was one of the best experiences of my life. it's an incredible album that's definitely worth a reaction
One of the most complete songs ever musically, lyrical and songwise :)
Definitely "WITH OR WITHOUT YOU" 🔥
U2 is in my top five when it comes to music. Listen to Electrical Storm (William Orbit Mix), another great 90's U2 classic.
They are as good as the Beatles in my opinion.
Hey man can you react to Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me by U2? One of their grittier ones I think you'll love it.
“All I want is you” is my recommendation as it seems that you enjoy bono‘s voice。
I commented earlier on a personal level... but bono has one of those voices that just emotes... I'm Irish n it's crazy U2 were so hugh but you could go into a pub in Dublin n meet him... this song ( vocally) is very tame for his voice.... he's incredible xxx i would suggest songs but I'm 46 n grew up with them so dont know where to start... they formed this band at only 17 years old... a lot of his rasp n drive is in their earlier songs, again I can't there's decades of songs to go thru...

Yesss that's my favourite song as well
And mine!!!! 🤘🤘🤘😜
SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY by U2 is amazing! 🤘🏻❤️
That is my favorite!
Sunday bloody Sunday!

U2 - Angel of harlem, that incredible Billie Holiday tribute
U2 are absolute grand masters of sophisticated composition/layering. You should try Mysterious Ways (Live Sydney 93)
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 you keep surprising me with your picks lately!!! U2 is amazing ❤️ try bullet the bly sky!
With or without you will make you cry
The entire Achtung Baby album is GOLD! It's a work of art!
U2 are LEGENDS.
They are known for their deep catalog and for their live performances-which sound just as good, if not better, than the studio tracks. Consider reacting to some U2 live performances:
1. “U2 - ALL I WANT IS YOU / WHERE THE STREETS HAVE NO NAME” Live at Slane Castle
Epic transition & concert was just days after Bono’s dad, Bob, died & Bono was grieving but the band decided together to perform anyway.
2. “U2 - BAD (Live Aid 1985)“
Must be the Live Aid concert version; Iconic performance that changed the course of the band and was genuinely unplanned/off-the-cuff from halfway onward.
3. “[1983] U2 - SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY (live Rattle and Hum, 1988)“
Bold, political + musicianship & Bono in sublime voice.
The story behind this song is the clincher. Coming off the Joshua Tree they couldn't vibe. Sitting in the studio one night, almost ready to split, one of them stands up and just starts that intro.

Yep. U2 later called this the song that saved the band.
One love...leaves you if you don't care for it.
Alex you should really check out Dire Straits, i recommend "Brothers in Arms" and "Sultans of swing" those are hella good songs
Yes. Brothers in Arms is a masterpiece.
Add Romeo And Juliet to that list
@@leilahgharbaharan5298 damn i forgot about that banger, thanks for the reminder
@@elena79rus Tunnel of love :)
You also forgot Money for nothing
Highly recommend listening to "Bad" by U2 its such a powerful song. Also "Sunday bloody sunday", "Pride", and "Where the streets have no name" are all amazing songs
One double shot of U2 that i think goes together and also gives perspective of how gigantic their live show is would be All I Need Is You into Where the Streets Have No Name. Live from Slane Castle or Boston...both are readily available as a package on RUclips.
Oh man you already like it . LOL. Alex.
“One” was born on accident. The band almost ended around the time Achtung Baby/One was created.
Never been a huge u2 fan but they are extremely talented i still haven't found what I'm looking for u2 is my favorite of theirs
The summoned is unsigned, great group of guy from Lowell Massachusetts. Insane lyrics and musical abilities.
MANY of their "deeper" cuts are still golden:
"Gloria"
"Two Hearts Beat As One"
"A Sort Of Homecoming"
"The Unforgettable Fire"
"Running To Stand Still"
"Red Hill Mining Town"
"In God's Country"
"Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses"
"Vertigo"
"City Of Blinding Lights"
etc.
Listen to Mysterious Ways! One of my favorite U2 songs
Exactly man Joshua tree is amazing! But go listen to Sunday Bloody Sunday man it is great!
My mother says that when I was a baby I had a lot of difficulty eating. And the only way my parents could get me to eat was by putting their U2 CDs and DVDs to play on the TV.

YES!!! I was in 11th grade when this came out on Mtv - I remember watching it almost every day in the summer of 1991.
Gorgeous song by my favourite band =) This song is from their album Achtung Baby, which is when I discovered them, and I've been a fan ever since. You should listen to Pride, Staring at the Sun, Gone, Every Breaking Wave, Please, and then... everything else XD
My U2 story....'86.... in Las Vegas....came out of the Freemont in downtown Vegas with my Uncle Jimmy (we're Italian)....anyway, lotsa commotion going on and Metro (Vegas police) were everywhere....it was then we noticed some dude jumping on the hood of a car....U2 was making their "Where The Streets Have No Name" unbeknownst to us....so we started laughing at the dude on the car hood in traffic. It was Bono who was 20 feet from us, looked at us, walked over and said "you think that looked funny?" .... Jimmy and I looked at one another and at the same time said "hell no".... he laughed and said "are you guys twins?".... we all laughed.... Bono proceeded to sign my leg cast, took a few flicks with us, and gave my Uncle a Heineken! True story..... only in Vegas baby. U2 is an Institution and is without question top 20 band of ALL TIME..... check out "Bad" the live performance.... and the entire Joshua Tree album is considered by many to be perhaps one of the greatest albums ever.
Sundaaay bloooddyyy sundaaaay
This whole CD is incredible like this. You should just do an entire review of "Achtung Baby" and stop wasting time. Nice review!
U2 is legit bro. I wouldn’t call myself a super fan or anything, but from achtung baby and back they really couldn’t miss. War, New Year’s Day, anything from Joshua tree...all good shit.
You have GOT to do more U2. Honestly, so many better U2 songs out there....still one of my favorite bands ever

You would dig that whole album bro. Achtung Baby!
11 O'Clock Tick Tock live at Red Rocks, the Edge's guitar will break your heart.
Just watched this again probably the single best reaction to a u2 tune ever - thanks dude.
You might want to check out some of U2's other songs as they have over 14 studio albums; and have been going for over 40 years. Oh and also they happen to have sold more live than any other band in history. The Joshua Tree (1987) is one of the fastest selling albums of all time and is big in America but was gigantic in the late 80's/early 90's. Achtung Baby (1991) is probably U2's best album.
Chris Cornell has a version where he sings the lyrics of Metallica's One to U2's One music. Its incredible. Just him and his acoustic guitar.
Hey dude! Man, your reaction to this was veeery genuine. One is a very special song. Very special. Other U2 songs? Here's the thing... U2's sound changes with almost every record. To be short, they went from punk, to post punk, to experimental rock, to rock/college rock, alternative rock, more alternative, techno rock.
A song like One? If God Will Send His Angles is great. With or Without You is obviously up there. But there are so many unique sounds, and unique songs. Like an ungodly amount. Cheers!
No other song by U2 will be as great as this one!❤️❤️
Haha great “Irish” accent man! Seems U2 are more appreciated outside Ireland. Greetings from Dublin! Keep up the reactions. Love seeing people go outside their comfort zone re: music and enjoy it. Take care ✌️🤘
“Sunday Bloody Sunday” rattle and hum version. You’ll see all of Bono’s intensity right there.
