@@nzrugbyleaguevidz the energy and rush you get when that guitar kicks in is incredible, especially live. I have never been to concert that could’ve even came close to the experience I had when I saw them live for the first time which was in 2002, during the Elevation tour. Only other concert I’ve seen that was equal to that experience was when I saw them in 2017, during the Joshua Tree 2017 tour.
The members of U2 are Irish Catholics. This song is about longing for peace in Northern Ireland, where through history the Catholics were discriminated against by the ruling Protestants, leading to violent clashes. In Northern Ireland the Catholics generally lived in segregated areas and so people could be identified as Catholic or Protestant depending on the street name of their residence. "Where the Streets Have No Name" is a wish for a world that would erase the labels that lead to conflict. A great and timeless song which they also memorably performed live at halftime of the Super Bowl after the 9/11 terror attacks.
Bono from a mixed Catholic and Anglican family, Edge and Adam Clayton being raised Protestant, and Larry who was born in to a strong Irish-Catholic family.
I would suggest I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For, Bad, Pride (In The Name of Love), Sunday Bloody Sunday, I Will Follow and All I Want Is You. All classic U2 songs from the 80’s version of the band. Check out their early 90’s stuff too though. Change in musical direction, but still great songs on my opinion.
Bullet the Blue Sky from this record is soo good! Please also react to Duran Duran Save a Prayer and INXS Need You Tonight/Mediate (don't leave off Mediate!) There are videos for both of those songs too.
Hello. I'm 45. U2 fan since 1989. When I discovered this song, I used to wake up at 5 o clock in the morning in order to listen to this again and again before heading to school. U2 lighted up my world.
I can relate to you I used to have to be up by 6 and waiting for my bus to school and have a listen to this song while secretly meeting a boy my parents didn’t approve of but we had a beautiful time and wonderful memories
Smashed that thumbs up before the vid even started!! The greatest Christian band that was disguised as a rock band.... The Three Sunrises should be next, then Grace, Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For, 40, Two Hearts Beat as One, too many to list sister. Stay on this band; even if it’s not reactions, their message is True.
Was cool watching you bob to the record... A classic rock banger! One of a handful of songs were it's not complete unless you watch the official music video... Do it as a reaction or on your own, but do it.it's special... U2 - Where the streets have no name (Official Music Video) 😉
The goal of the album (while working with producers Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois - both geniuses) was to create a place to inhabit. Not just songs to listen to, but landscapes created with the sound. This was the first song of the album, and it just set the tone. It's almost perfect from the first track to the last, IMO.
Their concerts are a Experience. One of the few bands that I will pay hundreds of dollars to see live. In fact, it ran me $500 just to score 2 tickets for lower level seating.Worth every penny and would do again.
Wow this is your introduction to this band? There are so many incredible tunes from these guys it's unreal. Stay (faraway so close) is one of my personal favourites as well as 'a sort of homecoming' or 'Bad' trust me u will not be disappointed.
Check out October/bullet the blue sky live in Paris, kite live slane castle and stay their acoustic version. They are the best band of all time. Amazing music and lyrics.
No one bigger in the 80's and a world class drummer. This was their reflection of the USA on a trip out west. The Fly off Actung Baby for a different vibe
Check out a trip of songs from their most recent album "Songs Of Experience" "Get Our Of Your Own Way" "American Soul" "Love Is Bigger Than Anything In It's Way. In fact, listen to all three in a row. They go together.
Other U2 songs to react to: Mysterious Ways, One, Pride, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, Original Of The Species, Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own, Magnificent, too many to list...
Great reaction. I’m nobody... but if I can suggest that you react to as many “audio only” as you can. I’ve noticed many reaction channels start off this way but then maybe feel later that they need music videos to keep their uploads interesting. But I feel that more often than not ... the music videos take away from the actual music and also from the reaction. 🙏🏼 Just my humble opinion. I love seeing folks vibe out and appreciate a song without the distractions of a video.
This is one great song. I would steer away from their later work because they became too commercial, especially lead singer Bono. Dig down from their earliest days. It’s so good. As far as this song, it’s on the acclaimed album “Joshua Tree”. There is not one song on there that’s not good. Look up “U2 on Tom Snider Show 06/04/1981”. This is their USA performance. They do “I Will Follow” live.
One of the greatest songs ever made.
Damn right.
Greatest intro ever.
One of the greatest albums ever made

34 years later, I'm still left smiling with that outro - every time.

Bono wrote this after his first trip to Africa.

I recommend Fez/Being Born
there's so much awesome U2 but one song I never see anyone react to is Two Hearts Beat as One. a great jam.
There is a super cool live version of this where they are on the roof in LA I think....
That's actually the official video, not live =)
@@Emburbujada lol but it's live ...to an extent....just edited :)
There is an official video of this song. Where they are playing live on top of a building in LA. I think you would like it.
Excellent. It's like going to a church of some kind, a non-denominational , non-judgmental, human place. Yes it's a classic. Good reactions

@@goretti2127 Memories are beautiful. Good times are always remembered. I feel lucky that I had a great childhood with U2
I saw them live in the 80's after Joshua Tree came out, and it was an awesome concert.

The entire catalog is amazing but start with desire, pride, one, sometimes you can't make it on your own and city of blinding lights
U2 - Sometimes You Can't Make It on Your Own

Cinematic in the best way.
Check out a trip of songs from their most recent album "Songs Of Experience"
"Get Our Of Your Own Way"
"American Soul"
"Love Is Bigger Than Anything In It's Way.
In fact, listen to all three in a row. They go together.
Joshua Tree IMO is one of the best albums ever made.
Loved your reaction ))

STAY FARAWAY SO CLOSE
See their Super Bowl half time show
Bad, from Live Aid is a great live performance. The audio of One Tree Hill from Point Depot is amazing.
Still haven't found what I'm looking for. I'm not a religious person but this song has meaning beyond that. Love your vids btw.
React this song live...Brazil 2006...amazing vibe!!!
First! Also, can you react to a metal band called attila? I think that pizza would be a good first song!! Love your videos!!
❤️❤️❤️

One - U2
React to Pride (In the Name of Love). You'll cry. :)
Try the song one
Pretty sure at some stage , this was only rock song inducted into the jazz hall of fame
where did you go?
whats the story with the teddy bear?
He is Irish
You should do the song ONE by Mary J Blige and U2. The official video is the best version.
I love the original, but I think Mary J Blige upped the ante.
Good you chose the album version. Hate the single cut. You don't get Edge's heavenly intro and outro.
