Joshua Tree is a masterpiece. All songs are excellent.
Yup. One of the all-time greatest albums.
My fave is Red Hill Mining Town.
U2, actually, never "farted things over" between: Boy and 🤔🤔🤷 say Pop 🤷 (arguably) ...
Not until: All That You Can't Leave Behind (as flaccid as a dead, dissolving, overcooked noodle) or. even: How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb 🤷🤷
(and even since: there has been decent stuff!).
...but if we, even, take my initial "premise" (🙄🤦🤷): that's a 20 year run of great albums and indelible music.
*I* would sign-on for THAT!!
🤘🤘
Mothers of the disappeared.
@@dannysunay4386 "Mothers Of The Disappeared" and "Exit" (disturbingly ... wrongly!)
have NEVER gotten as much notice as the rest of the album, overall.
... and they deserve it!
...but you, also, can't front on more "direct" songs, such as, say, 🤷🤷🤷...:
"Trip Through Your Wires"
or
"Bullet The Blue Sky"
or
"Red Hill Mining Town"
or something.
It is an endlessly enjoyable musical work (The Joshua Tree)
[...although over the years, I have seen too many listeners begin to "ignore"/"forget about" the genius which made Joshua Tree POSSIBLE and is its own indelible musical jaunt:
The Unforgettable Fire!
THAT album is AS (and sometimes: EVEN MORE) genius as this one and is neglected its due (from: the overall public, fans, both casual and dedicated listeners.!!!). That is CRIMINAL!
🤘🤘
When you guys didn't pause ONCE.. I knew it was grabbing you and not letting go.
I thought the same thing. They usually always pause about a minute in and I was legit surprised they watched the whole thing! I definitely prefer it that way, watch it all and then react.
All people who make reaction videos do that to avoid legal rights consequences but this song just flies...They just couldn't stop. Not a big fan of U2 but this song has always been epic.
You all know U2 were THE biggest band on the planet for the 80s and 90s... right? Man feeling old... there's a reason this album went diamond.
Also the 2000’s songs like Beautiful Day and Vertigo were huge . They were still selling millions of albums and on every award show going in the 2000’s👍
Still really the biggest rock band in The world.
There were more bands during the 80s and 90s but I guess the fans are always a little bit one-sided.
I don’t really listen to them anymore but I’ve been with them since the beginning. They will always be my band.
Never listen to anyone who says U2 is overrated.
Such an spiritual album. Those that stays with you the rest of your life.
❤Where The Streets Have No Name is a MUST for you next U2 and you NEED to watch the video.
😮Kinda shocked you don't know U2 a little better. This song was huge and the album Joshua Tree was epic. They write their own stuff and are incredible musicians.
Great song from one of history's best albums. "Bullet the blue sky" is my favorite from a collection that are all top notch on the Joshua Tree. The guitar work of The Edge gives U2 a distinctive sound that always let you know who the song was by before you ever heard a word. The more you hear, the more you'll know it. He could really set an eerie mood.
songs like this are why GenXers think modern music is rubbish.
Big fan of the old days of U2, they were a fresh and original sound, good choice!
Two Hearts Beat as One is one of my favs.
You must be young, as this is not the "old days" of U2. This was their heyday.
Joshua Tree was their 5th album and the last good album they released.
This band OWNED that year(!). You couldn't get away from this album; one hit song after another was released from this album. They already had some albums out before with some chart toppers, but when Live Aid happened, it was pretty much agreed that U2 was the breakout band that day; they had the whole stadium in their hands, and the whole world was introduced to them. I hope you try their Beatles influenced rooftop performance (video) with Where The Streets Have No Name.
I was BEYOND surprised that Nick didn't know this song! Of all the songs, of all the bands, this would not have been on my bingo card for songs he didn't know.
This song and this video led to a lot of women getting in to U2. I remember my babysitter LOVED them. I didn't really get it until Achtung Baby came out a few years later.
I haven't heard this song in years. It has a real ethereal quality to it. It's so good. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
Bono has a supernatural quality to his voice. Once he turns it on you are immobilized and have to listen.
"had" at least in my opinion he lost his edge no-pun-intended after the popmart tour
@@renzokukenleneyoyo522 Actually I thot so until I saw them live at the Sphere in Feb. Bono’s voice was pitch perfect & strong….waaay stronger than I was expecting live. He is still amazing & I was thrilled. This band still has a lot to give if they want to.
@@Danala22 Well I saw them in PopMart, Elevation, and the next two tours and Pop was still peak Bono... with every subsequent tour showing a noticeable down grade of his voice. Now, I am not hating he has the right to grow old I was just relating my personal experience.
@Danala22 I was there in March and the tickets were almost $400. I really wanted to go but I'd rather put that money in slots LOL
"One" is my favorite. Extremely well written and performed. Great video too..
I saw them on this tour and they were fantastic. I remember hearing "I Will Follow" from their debut album in 1980 as a teenager and I was hooked immediately.
I have seen them live many times over the years and they are stunning.
You know a song is good when the grimaces get more intense and hold for a longer amount of time. Just an incredible song...and band.
Well, now I'm off to listen to Joshua Tree. It's been a while. Even the non-singles are phenomenal. I really love "Running To Stand Still" and "Red Hill Mining Town." The Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno production is stellar throughout. Excellent video guys!
I had to listen just as well, a while for me too, such a great album!
Now do "Bad" live from Wide Awake in America. You will LOVE it.
You know the song's FANTASTIC when you don't want to pause it to make any comments until the song is done. A true Classic from U2 and vocal EXCELLENCE from BONO. Heard this song a thousand times, still gives me goosebumps every single time.
The opening bass line is fire. If you want to see a really good song by them--it's on CZcams- it's their version of All Along the Watchtower-live in an outdoor concert in San Francisco.-it's awesome--you should find it and check it out. It's in black and white but they do an awesome version.
Pride (In the Name of Love) and One MUST be experienced.
Where The Streets Have No Name - U2, also off of The Joshua Tree. AMAZING emotional display of the chimimg effect mentioned on the wiki. Also an AMAZING emotional display of Bonos vocals. My favorite off the album and the best on the album in my opinion.
You're entering a completely new rabbit hole with U2. There were years when I played them continuously, they kept getting better and better. So happy you enjoyed this. Keep going!
You really can’t go wrong with a U2 song, but I’d love to see/hear you react to “One”.
When I lived in the city and my neighbours were creating noise and fighting, I would play this full blast [as the bass vibrates nicely when loud] and peace returns.
Great song. Love their early era, not so much there later.
I just love watching reactors fall in love with U2! Red Hill Mining Town also from the Joshua Tree album is an underrated vocal masterpiece from Bono.
And please, please, please watch their set from Live Aid in 1985, even if you don't react to it just watch it for your own enjoyment (it's only 20minutes long) as it is one of the greatest live performances in music history (that's not hyperbole!)
Hard to believe you guys are not familiar with U2. They are one of the most MASSIVE bands in the world. This is a fantastic song, and I'm glad you guys enjoyed it so much. 😎😎
He said they were massive tho
I remember in the 90s Rage Against The Machine opened for U2
U2s debut album - Boy - is one of the most extraordinary debut albums by any band in the last 60 years. Try out I Will Follow from Boy. It's a good place to start. Their early back catalogue is well worth mining.
i not the biggest U2 fan but they do have a few good songs. This is one of my favorite from them.
"Bono" was called that since school days which was short for "Bono Vox" meaning "good voice " "The Edge" brought a style unique to him, alone. Edge also has a phenomenal voice
Sunday bloody sunday.
Sunday, Bloody Sunday was the first U2 song I ever heard. My favorite to this day.
same! ugh so good
U2 has a lot of great songs. Mysterious Way might be my personal favorite. The edge is an underrated guitarist.
That transition around 7:44 has always been my favorite. So nice.
"One" should be your next!!!!!!!!
I still like the rooftop video. That was chaos. The album The Joshua Tree was insanely good.
I am 56 . I saw U2 on their first Big American Tour 41 yrs ago! I was 15. A dozen of my friends all met up in SF at 8am for a 8 Pm show ! We got in line 12 hrs early for a GA show! It was incredible !!! We l k ew ew en then theyd be Legends !!! They had the same Aura back then in 1983!!! .
I always appreciated the tension that builds up and never truly releases - there are no overblown guitar solos towards the end that was so common back in the 80s' the lyrics and sound sort of just simmer and smolder like a banked fire instead and it has a much more potent effect I think.
The Streets Have no Name is an great video
Mysterious Ways is one to definitely check out. New Years Day, Where The Streets Have No Name
Love, love, love Mysterious Ways! ❤️
That might be the best song, from the best album, of the 80’s…….
More albums the U2
This whole album is like a religious rock experience. This song is the sleepiest song on the album imo
A flashback to the 80's. I was having babies. 😂
U2 are GOATS, Legendary band. They were only in their mid 20's at this point 5 albums into their career. Joshua Tree took them from arena band to Stadium Rock Stars. They've played live to more people than any other group! They SHINE live, that's where Bono says "U2 lives". They're as loved as they are hated. Talented song writers and some of the nicest blokes around. Love the reaction. Subscribed!

^Joke by a stand-up comedian on a morning show I heard decades ago
Such a phenomenal song!!! As a big U2 fan from their first album, I could recommend so many songs, but will refrain. If you would like to check out a live version of this, I will recommend the performance from the ELEVATION tour from Boston. That is so emotionally packed. One thing I realized by watching your reaction--we all need Nick and Ryan bobbleheads!!!
Every time I hear this now I think of when it was used in The Office. 😅
I’ve seen U2 live four times ever since their first tour through the US. An amazing band who just connected with their audience!!
You guys will love my favorite U2 song, "New Year's Day."
My favorite too❤
Wow that song was so huge. People may throw things at me if I say this - but I was tired of it and it was overplayed. They are a great band but I was not into them as much as some of my friends. Now that I don't hear it as much - I can appreciate more. That song is used a lot in movies and TV shows. Most notably in Friends and The Office. Cool that you guys had a fresh take on the song! Best part is the guitars/drums on the ending!
You always know when it's The Edge. Very charitable band, always pursuing peace. ❤😊
Pat Benatar All Fired Up. Progression on display.
Now do Where the Streets Have No Name. Or anything off The Unforgettable Fire.
Love the Edge
New Year's Day or Sunday Bloody Sunday would have been my first choices.
I would highly suggest you do Joshua Tree all the way through, every song. It's a masterpiece all the way down from the songs, lyrically to production etc. One of the greatest albums ever recorded.
What Supertramp was in the mid 70's and early 80's is what U2 was in the mid 80's and 90's. They were a 'super group' and the most popular band in the world!
This was a HUGE song 86-87 even here in Costa Rica... I was a kid back then, 8 year old I believe, and I was floored by the feel even if the lyrics not yet connected at a personal level with me.
Awesome band and "Joshua Tree" album. You should check out their hits "Where the Streets Have No Name," "Beautiful Day," "Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of" and "Mysterious Ways"
MONTROSE - " ROCK CANDY (BABE) @ND. " SPACE STATION #5 " 🎸 🎸 2 Classic Rock Jams from 1973 w/ Sammy Hagar on Vocals long before he joined Van Halen . These 2 songs have the Loudest & Heaviest Drums ever recorded for an early 1970s Rock songs way ahead of it's time check it out 🔥 it's FIRE 🔥
i love the song....from the Joshua Tree Album...
The Edge's name is David Evans. Bono's name is Paul Hewson. Their friends, family and even their parents use their nicknames, so while they have, they're hardly ever used.
Could you please do California by Manfred Mann's Earth Band, great vocals,incredible bass,phenomenal lead solo,amazing keyboard solo!
Pretty nice.
Better yet, 'The Unforgettable Fire' is majestic, and 'Wire' is fire!
Please try "Bad", if you like this you will LOVE that! Or for a great live performance try "All I Want Is You / Where the Streets Have No Name" live from Slane Caste.
ah, great album, all of it! great video for this one! good days... ❤
In Gods Country!
This album is PERFECT, and it's still my 2nd favorite U2 album. But only because Achtung Baby is my top album of all time, and has been since 1991.
U2 is simply the greatest band of the last 40 years and the biggest live band of the last 35 years
Dave Matthews Band is better. IMO-don't take it personally
I fell in love with U2 music after the Joshua Tree experience! Fun times! That voice & nothing compares to the Edge ... 😊
I think your next U2 reaction should be "The Fly" just so you get a glimpse of how much their music has changed over the years.
And if you want to see a live performance, listen to "Love is Blindness" live from Sydney 1993
While people assume Bono's lyrics are often about spiritual or social matters, he once said that this song was about a rift growing between him and his wife over how often he was gone traveling the world versus at home.
“Pride, in the name of love” from the rattle and hum (live) video is really good.
It's between this and New Years Day for my favourite U2 song.
Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno should be listed as members on this album.
The song was overplayed at the time which made me forget how good it was
U2, also, recreated "the sound of the '80s" by working with a first time Production team, made up of 2 individuals. One already legendary at the time. The other: would become legendary based-on his work with U2.
The Eno/Lanois production team.
Brian Eno [Roxy Music, Fripp & Eno, solo work] and Daniel Lanois.
[Eno: pronounced as it appears {"E-no"]. "Lanois" pronounced: " Lan-waah"]
The first album they did with U2 (and the first one they ever worked-on, together) was: The Unforgettable Fire.
The soundscapes and textures on that album recreated WHAT IT MEANT to "sound like a modern band" in the 1980s.
The Unforgettable Fire and its (even more expansively -successfully- huge) follow-up (THIS album):
The Joshua Tree, effectively solidified U2 as legendary and created some of the most iconic music of the '80s decade.
-The name "U2" is, actually, the code-name of a U.S. spy-plane (in essence, you could think of it as "the precursor to" The SR-71 "Blackbird" and The "Stealth" fighter.").
One of the U2s was shot down, taking aerial surveillance photos, over the Ural mountains (russian airspace and land). The pilot was Gary Francis Powers (and he was captured by the soviets).
This incident occurred in 1960 (I don't recall the date, but it was "an M month," so, March or, more likely, May 🤔🤔🤷).
While both "superpowers" behaved in nearly equivalent manners on such fronts, this was considered a huge embarrassment for the U.S., as surveillance was supposed to remain top secret and publicly unacknowledged.
Although no direct line can be drawn [i.e.: "cause-effect" structure], I have always suspected that: the shooting down of Francis Gary Powers and the resulting "kerfuffles" directly or indirectly led to the erecting of the "Berlin wall" and splitting of the City, (just over a year later. ...but: as a complete surprise) in 1961 (Illegal russian occupation. ...but: of course: That is their M.O.!).
The band chose the "U2" designation out of
a) "simplicity" and also: as "an antithetical" use/inference (as they were believers in peace and reconciliation -Because (as MOST of the West!): they did not have any understanding of the russian government or the minds which operated there (and continue to, through this day). ...nor the behaviors they practiced and how they read behaviors by others [UTTERLY differently than in the free world!]).
....
This whole album is awesome! I played this album so much, I wore it out and had to buy it again! I would be interested in hearing your reaction to the whole album!
This might be Bono's best vocal performance of many by him. It is one of a few songs that evokes an involuntary emotional reaction in me. That said, it might only be the fourth or fifth best song on The Joshua Tree album. I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, Where The Streets Have No Name, Bullet The Blue Sky, In God's Country and Red Hill Mining are all stellar songs from an incredible LP. Joshua Tree is neck-and-neck with Back In Black, Moving Pictures and Famous Last Words, for me, as the best album(s) of the 1980s.
My favourite U2 songs are from their early LPs - Pride (In the Name of Love), Sunday, Bloody Sunday and (their best IMO) New Year's Day.
BTW Nick and Ryan, Diamond level sales, for your viewers' information, signifies 10 million units of an album or single sold in the U.S.
and The Unforgettable Fire?... (the song)
@@filifolia Unforgettable Fire is an excellent song (and album) with a unique melody/sound.
@@timwhitnell7145 indeed!
I would have a hard time choosing my best from the Joshua Tree, the last three songs are also stellar!
Next you should review "Where The Streets Have No Name"
I can't live
with or without 502
Check out "One" from the same album. Another masterpiece. ❤
10-21-1992. The Zoo Tour, Denver, Mile High Stadium. Unforgettable!
For a deeper dive into 80’s Irish rock bands , checkout Mike Scott and the Waterboys. Song Fisherman’s Blues
Great review , really enjoyed it
First 25 years of U2 is up there with any other band . They constantly evolved and moved with the times. They reinvented themselves album on album, changing their sound and image ( not so much in the last 20 years)
Their live shows are outstanding and are one of the most influential live acts ever.
Have a listen to
Where the streets have no name
Still haven’t found what I’m looking for
Pride
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Bad
One
Mysterious ways
Stay
Beautiful day
Vertigo
U2 is definitely worth you guys checking out more. Thier early work is my favorite, Boy, October, War.... these albums are so awesome. New Years Day, Sunday Bloody Sunday, I will follow, Gloria.. U2 live at Red Rocks is amazing too
Great & honest review!! I’m going to watch more. BTW find some more U2 cuz if this song moved you there are many more to do the same. Try “One”or “Where the Streets Have No Name” or “Mysterious Ways”….so many more. Live concerts are where they shine tho! Thx & cheers!
I agree, seen them live in London couple of times, they were great!
Quintessential Irish Rock!
Guys, Sunday Bloody Sunday.
This is just a suggestion for another band that you would enjoy. Jethro Tull playing Aqualung. It’s an old treasure.
I still can’t figure out how you did not know this band? One of the biggest bands ever.
Not a huge fan of U2. I can take them or leave them. But I do like the Joshua Tree album, especially this song. It’s very haunting and I LOVE the slow progression. It’s perfect. I do admire Bono’s dedication to advocating for human rights. As for his art, I don’t care much for it. It's not anything I enjoy but I do get a strong sense of his political activism from his artwork. Very interesting person. This was an enjoyable review. Haven’t heard this song in a while and it was nice to hear again. Thanks for bringing it, Ryan.
You guys should listen to Southside Johnny and the Ashbury Jukes TALK TO ME
