Bono in u2 videos: showing off (mostly elegantly) Edge in u2 videos: elegantly moving Larry in u2 videos: elegantly killing you with a look Adam in u2 videos: super elegantly existing
Maybe their most overlooked song. I love the lyrics, esp “I’m nearly great but there’s something missing. I left it in the duty free, oh, but you never really belonged to me.” Classic Bono cheekiness.
POP is a masterpiece and the last brave U2 album. I believe they were trying to make their 1990's version of Sgt. Pepper. The advancement of electronic music in Europe, trip hop, rave culture and the harking back to 60's songwriting values brought U2 to the point where they thought they could bring everything together and that they were the band to break the mould again. It's a very brave move and a joy to listen to in 2022. Ironically it sounds less dated in 2022 than it did in 1997/8. The band were never the same after this album.
I truly believed they could do anything back then. They were out there at the forefront. Just wished they hadn’t booked the stadium tour before the album had finished… had time to polish off the album and sometime to sell the concept
@@kevinodonnell261 at the time, in the U.K at least, in terms of electronic rock music in popular culture - The Prodigy and The Chemical Brothers were considered much more cooler, groundbreaking and innovative - along with the Trip hop explosion such as Portishead, Massive Attack, Tricky etc - U2, in 1997 with the release of POP, seemed to be lagging behind and were seen as old-timers trying to catch up and mimick the latest trends - Howie B wasn't leading the pack of new, young producers - in fact, U2 wanted Liam Howlett to work with them for POP and he declined. Looking back in 2023, the brilliant songwriting and band and instrumentation on POP holds the album in great stead and outshines all those "cooler" tech albums of 1997, because of the fact it's an actual band effort. I love the album from start to finish today. I think it's probably one of their best albums - I love the "unfinished" feel to it. U2 can be their own worst enemy, strangling the life out their albums - their last 2 studio albums being the worst offenders.
Absolutely agreed. Bono was coming off the worldwide success of songs (and lyrics!) like Miss Sarajevo and Lemon. Singles as poetic and bold as anyone's been able to smuggle into the mainstream. Must've felt emboldened to go all the way with songs like Mofo and Wake Up Dead Man. Then they got cut into pieces. POP hasn't even gotten the kind of reevaluation this kind of achievement usually does, which just boggles my mind.
Pop, debió de ser la tercera obra maestra de la banda, es un álbum que hoy en día se oye actual, un álbum que se adelanto a su época. una verdadera obra maestra.
Pop fue un disco adelantado a su tiempo. Seguramente en su momento chocó escuchar a U2 como casi una banda de música electrónica en las canciones (especialmente las primeras del álbum), pero con el paso de los años sigue sonando estupendamente.
Teniendo "Zooropa", "Rattle & Hum" o "Boy", me parece a mi que a "Pop" le queda muuucho para ocupar ese tercer lugar. Aunque todo es cuestión de gustos, claro... Pero, para tu información, la misma banda siempre se ha mostrado insatisfecha con el resultado. En "U2 por U2" dijeron simplemente que en ese disco intentaron sonar como U2 saliendo de fiesta y acabaron sonando como U2 de resaca. Me parece un comentario muy acertado. De hecho a mí personalmente me parece un disco bastante horrible, salvaría de la quema tres o cuatro cortes, pero el resto me parece indigno de U2, y de la producción y el concepto del álbum mejor ni hablemos...
i always thought this song is about two young lovers hit by a bomb as they kissing each other and trying to love each other while their country is at war, their ears deafened by the bomb(there's an insect in your ears...it'gonna burn and sting) . To me the sun represents the explosion as they starring at it... Will we ever live in peace?
Love the song. With Bono channelling his inner Fidel Castro in the video, especially around Miami, it's a wonder those old Cubans didn't kick his arse! 🤪🤣✌️
In the 90s, short after Popmart concert in my country, appeared this clip on TV, never watched it again until now. BTW, I never knew anything about U2 until Popmart. Later, with ATYCLB, I downloaded several songs, but I didn't get their style at first, but somehow they became my fav band, and I was in Joshua Three concert in october 2017.
IF you're from Miami back when this vid was shot in 1997 you might remember CASABLANCA restaurant on 8th Street which is no longer around.. It's the storefront with all the Superheroes painted on the white wall... damn time flies, seems like only yesterday I was a kid visiting Miami with relatives during summer break and stopped by that joint for steak, rice & black beans 🤗🤗
POP is the sound U2 saying: maybe the world deserves a better U2, the U2 of Staring At The Sun, and Wake Up Dead Man -- Jesus help me / I'm alone in this world / and a fucked up world it is too... -- and the world replying, in unison: No! We deserve a WORSE U2. We deserve All That You Can't Leave Behind. A U2 tribute act. This melted Bono's brain. He was never the same, hanging out with war criminals and Apple. The failure of POP, their bravest and most subversive music, just broke him as an artist. It was very sad to see, and is to this day.
I wonder if Bono and rest of them tried some Cuban coffee, flan,guava pastelitos, as well the chicken and ham croquettes made in this town while in Miami.
What a wonderful feeling to see Bono, The Edge, Larry and Adam young. Forever U2!
My ultimate summer song ☀️
Hello,how are you doing it’s nice meeting you here.
For me, one of the most underrated albums in U2’s catalog. Love Pop. More Pop!
My nostalgia is insanely hot right now
This song gives me real summer vibes. ☀️🌡😎🏖🏝
One of Bono's very best vocals. I love this.
I worked since 1997 in all U2 productions, when they came to Mexico; I covered the 360 ° in Pasadena, California; one of my great experiences !! U2 live, nothing comparable !!!
Do you know what parts of Miami this was shot? (Other than Calle ocho)
Suertudo 👏

Lucky you
Bono looks great in this. I love his outfit and his facial hair.
i don’t really like the short hair in my opinion rattle and hum achtung baby and early 2000s era bono was the best
Minus his Fidel Castro get up. Not too wise to wear that in and around Miami...LOL...
@@abcun17 lol
my heart beats to the rhythm of U2's songs
Hello,how are you doing it’s nice meeting you here.
Space Oddity type of vibe musically. Criminally underrated song
It's more than a masterpiece, it's a message
👊🏼✌🏼🤟🏼
Bono in u2 videos: showing off (mostly elegantly)
Edge in u2 videos: elegantly moving
Larry in u2 videos: elegantly killing you with a look
Adam in u2 videos: super elegantly existing
And I love all of them ~~!~~
Iconic video, at that time Bono and the guys were aged as I am now. That was the soundtrack of my teenage years.
Bono was pure bad ass in 1997 😃
summer, 97, was warm
I always felt that Pop was a great rock album that never fully got the appreciation that it deserves.
POP is a masterpiece.
Indeed much more creative than the others yet to come
Pop is last great U2 album.
I was 26 when POP landed. Nice memories 🔥
Me too
Can we just appreciate The Edge without his signature cap.
Yep. He looks like a bad ass villain straight out of "Scarface"!
@@abcun17 haha he does, but love his looks here, Bumble Bity, I agree !!
Always loved this song. One of my all time top U2 songs. It's so simplistic, but I love the way it flows.
Really love seeing the guys like this especially Bono hamin' it up. Love his playful sense of humor 🎶💙🎶
A great acoustic set at every concert I've attended.
I always have tears in my eyes while listening to this song 😩
Another revolutionary album, after Achtung Baby and Zooropa. Brilliant
Indeed, POP really does complete the Holy Trinity of U2 in the 90s. We never knew we had it so good back then. Twenty five years later - now we know!
My favorites too
"Miami" & "Do You Feel Loved" complete versions from "A Year In Pop" PLEASE!!!
I wish that come back 90s U2. They were AMAZING❗❗
Bono fits in Miami, looks Cuban in this song, love the American umbrella to protect you from the sun
A cuban that worth close to one billion. lol
He knows perfectly how to be irriverent! I love him for his sarcasm mixed with a good deal of underplayed humor!❤⭐
B.no aka Panama papers
Once one of my favorite bands, now ...
He lacks a long beard to look like perfect Fidel Castro. But I like him dressed like this!
Maybe their most overlooked song. I love the lyrics, esp “I’m nearly great but there’s something missing. I left it in the duty free, oh, but you never really belonged to me.” Classic Bono cheekiness.
Best U2 clip ever
The verse reminds me the chorus from Feel Good Inc. by Gorillaz. *Windmill windmill for the land* :D
lol
true lol
Looks like they copied this song for inspiration
When they made feels good inc witch came out in 2005 this song from U2 came out at 1997
*The chorus from Feel Good Inc. reminds the verse of Staring At The Sun
Gorillaz "borrowed" the tune 😋
The last time Edge was seen without a hat??
I love U2, they make me very happy. :D
Прекрасный летний вайб с танцами Боно 😍💃
U2 is legend 🤘🏼❤👍🏼
El real Madrid también. Salu2
too much U2 will give love happy time 4ever xxx
Hello,how are you doing it’s nice meeting you here.
I could watch this video over and over all day. My favorite part is the hat 💃
Hello,how are you doing it’s nice meeting you here.
I miss this U2 sound!! Took it for granted back in the day!
One of the bests acoustics songs by Greatest Rock Band of all time!
A beautiful song from 90 s

I agree with your overall sentiment but I don't understand why this was 'dated " in 97.

This is one of my favorite groups!
The Edge bought some new hair.
Looking good!
can we have this U2 again please? the band that used to take chances?
Yay!
Great era :')
Pop, debió de ser la tercera obra maestra de la banda, es un álbum que hoy en día se oye actual, un álbum que se adelanto a su época. una verdadera obra maestra.
junto con No Line es un album incomprendido
El no incluir a Brian Eno & Daniel Lanois fue algo que afecto el sonido que ellos buscaban.
Pop fue un disco adelantado a su tiempo. Seguramente en su momento chocó escuchar a U2 como casi una banda de música electrónica en las canciones (especialmente las primeras del álbum), pero con el paso de los años sigue sonando estupendamente.
Sim amigo. POP hj seria mais valorizado. Tambem tinha este CD e era incrível !

Looks great. U2 were such pimps back in the 70s ;O)
BEST band of history.

Will we ever live in peace?
interesting
Confusing, I saw this year's ago.
No matter. This is fantastic and you can feel the mood of the day in the video.
VIVA CUBA LIBRE!!!!!LIBERTAD PARA CUBA!!!!LIBERTAD EN PLANETA TIERRA!!!!!LIBERTAD PARA EL MUNDO ENTERO!!!
YES! IN THIS VÍDEO FEEL MIAMI, BUT FEEL CUBA TOO! GREAT U2!!!
Very love for U2!!!!
Hit straordinaria, appena uscita, ora a dispetto di anni è anche meglio, almeno per le mie orecchie.
Love the song. With Bono channelling his inner Fidel Castro in the video, especially around Miami, it's a wonder those old Cubans didn't kick his arse! 🤪🤣✌️
Yes, seems very insensitive
Here’s to the greatest band from North Dublin !!!!!!!
In my opinion, I prefer the First version of Staring At the Sun
Same song but different video...
@@habibhussain825 I know it...
The Greatest, Least Celebrated, Rock Album. Ever. And its called Pop.
I admire your lover for nature 💚
A great band with great music. greetings from Uruguay 🇺🇾🇺🇾
We're only human what ever who we are....
ARGENTINA 2022 !!!!

The Best Band of the World.💜😚
Nice! Where is the “Night and Day” (official video) of U2?
This is up there with my top favourite videos 😂 Bono the messer , love it and the song
