- Thank you to our patron Scott for another great pick! I have for sure heard that chorus before... but the rest of the song I never have heard. The video was strange... almost nostalgic in a i've... i don't know, dreamt of that room before? so weird. The song was wonderful. The dissonant guitars... thunderous drums... and great vocals. Very adept arena rock with some layers to it... I dig it. I've heard other songs by them before but this was the first time I have ever sat down and

Great Tribute to MLK from a Band full of Irishmen!!! 🎶💯♥️
The English treated the Irish so badly for centuries, that some referred to the Irish as the nig**rs of Europe.
"Where the Streets Have No Name" live is a must. Much better than the studio version.
Yes. Live. Definitely.
They also have an album titled War which has many hits New Year's Day Two Hearts Beat As One I will follow Sunday Bloody Sunday etcetera❤
With this band live versions are the way to go 99% of the time. When they do have a video, it’s usually very well worth seeing it.
First 20 years of U2 is up there with the best output from any band.
U2 changed their sound and image album on album. Various eras in the U2 back catalogue. Not so much the past 20 years. But the first 20 is outstanding.
To try and show you the mix go
I will follow
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Bad
With or without you
Where the streets have no name
Desire
The fly
Mysterious ways
Lemon
Discotheque
Beautiful day
Vertigo
Honestly, based on this reaction, I wouldn't recommend those big hits to Lee. I would recommend almost anything from Achtung Baby, specifically, though. Arena rock songs, not so much.
Oh those and more.
Twilight and Like a Song are the U2 I grew up with.
@@robertbrenneman5367 I would recommend deep cuts over the big ones for Lee, to be honest, especially in light of how much he liked Love is Blindness.
I'm thinking An Cat Dubh from Boy instead of I Will Follow, and Twilight is a good option. Maybe Bullet the Blue Sky from Joshua Tree, Like a Song or even Two Hearts from War. From Achtung Baby, The Fly is good, but so is anything from that one, just leave One for later after doing Ultraviolet, or Acrobat, or Until the End of the World. From Zooropa and Pop, Numb would be really cool especially with the video. For Pop, I would go with Mofo or really If You Wear That Velvet Dress.
I'm a huge U2 fan, and they really shine with their deep cuts as well as when you watch a live performance. I admit seeing the Live Aid performance of Bad would be awesome.
Passionate song! Fun fact: after the War album, Bono wanted to disband the band. He felt he was not a good singer. Bono met up with Chrissie Hynde (Pretenders) in a pub, and over a game of pool she convinced him he has a great voice for rock and roll. The rest is history!
and Lee read that she sings backing vocals on this..WoW!!
Thanks for this version. These guys, what a band. Their early stuff is best. Yeah, that mullet. But he (Bono) wore it well than most. 😅
Great song. Bit of synchronicity here, as the Irish have lost so many of their own to assassination and terror.
Yes, Bono essentially writes the lyrics for Their songs. Most of their songs have some amazing lyrics too (This one not Anything out of the ordinary, though). He did have a lot of power in his voice in the 80s and into the 90s. They’re still performing by the way. I just saw them at the sphere in Las Vegas in December and they kicked ass!
They got together in 1976 when they were all still teenagers. They’re like family with each other. Larry Mullen on the drums Was once told to use A metronome. He replied, I am a metronome. He wasn’t wrong Lol!
Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois Produced their album from early 90s Called Achtung Baby and It was completely different from anything you’ve ever heard by them. I’m assuming you’ve heard where the streets have no name or I still haven’t found what I’m looking for.
Those are from Joshua tree album And non-hard-core fans usually go for when it comes to this band. I’m a hard-core fan and I don’t go for the songs from that album. lol!
The album I recommended songs from Has no filler. It starts like a party and ends with a funeral. I think you’ll have your mind changed about what kind of music they do when you hear some of those tracks. I’m not a singles person In general, and definitely not with this band. I always go for the deep cuts.
I’m glad you got to do a U2 song! They are definitely worth a dive And hopefully people don’t give you the singles Because I don’t think those Would be what you would particularly Like Best by them.
They recovered just fine, thanks. Opened the Sphere in Vegas with a 40 night residency.
With or Without You live is a must see ☮️❤️ and YAY! Irish, like me!
There's also an alternative music video that was shot during the making of "The Unforgettable Fire" documentary from 1984, MTV used to play that one as well.
I think Bono was 23/24 here…what a powerhouse of a voice! So unique and instantly recognizable! No one else sounds like him
There may be a legion of U2 haters out there,,,but this one song is eternal #MLK
Larry Mullen Jr. on drums. Good reaction and review. 👊🏻
I saw U2 on their first album “Boy” tour. It was a college campus auditorium and I had my elbows on the stage 😁. The greatness was clear back then.
I would love to see more U2, they're a very important band with a deep deep catalog. I've always loved this song, glad you liked it. Others to check out: With or Without You, Every Breaking Wave (album cut not video, it's very distracting), Vertigo, Angel of Harlem, New Years Day, Ultraviolet (Light My Way), Zoo Station, Lemon, Where the Streets Have No Name, Iris (with Chris Martin of Coldplay), California... I mean there's so so many great ones, those can get you started!
Here is which persons are meant (courtesy of @curtisthomas2670 ):
"One man caught on a barbed wire fence" - Dietrich Bonhoeffer - anti-Nazi German dissident
"One man he resist" - Mahatma Ghandi
"One man washed on an empty beach" - Roger Casement - an Irish revolutionary who was betrayed by the Germans shortly before the Irish Eastern Rising of 1916. He was left on a beach, too sick to travel and was caught by the English who executed him after a controversial trial.
"One man betrayed with a kiss" - Jesus betrayed by Judas
" One man to overthrow" - Malcolm X
And of course the third verse is about MLK Jr.
Peace from SF
The first time I heard this song and The Edge’s guitar work that went along with it, I thought, “This man has figured out how to replicate bagpipes with a guitar.”
U2 from the 80s is very high on my all-time list of favorite bands. They made the waking nightmare of my life at the time more bearable.
Their first popular song was ‘I Will Follow’ off their first album called ‘Boy’.
Not too many people react to U2. Maybe because many of their songs are so well known. IDK. But they were obviously a huge band. I got to see them in ‘83.
I would also recommend the first track off their second album called ‘Gloria’. It’s about God, not about a girl. It got a lot of air play at the time. The album was not well received but it’s one of my favorites from any band.
This is my favorite U2 song, though The Unforgettable Fire lacks the consistency of the records just before and just after. Great reaction, Other Lee!
Chrissie Hynde, pronounced like Hined, is the lead singer of The Pretenders. Another great band to delve into
This Dublin harbour,. Pink Floyd's Animals album cover is Battersea Power Station in London.
Ahhhh ok it just kinda looked similar for a second. Thank you for the correction!
I wonder if that's the ferry to Liverpool. One great band to another.
A day later in a better mood and fresh perspective this is one of the best reviews I've seen you do❤ #facts
OMG my favorite Bono from his soul, thank you 😘
U2 - Until The End Of The World
U2 - Love Comes Tumbling
U2 - Red Hill Mining Town
U2 - Bullet The Blue Sky
U2. - Do You Feel Loved
Interesting choices
Any “hits” from the 1980s from this band is a must! Skip the B- sides for now. 1980 - 1987 hit songs are 🔥
Co-produced by Eno who you just listened to, along with Daniel Lanois. If you want to experience classic U2, check out the documentary "Rattle and Hum".
There's also a "Classic Albums" episode where they break down this album, with Lanois and the band members.
Really like the way he has his kit tuned. For an amazing Snare tone check out the song Poets by The Tragically Hip. MUST BE STUDIO VERSION!
Produced by Brian Eno. He was the brains behind a LOT of music
I will miss the premiere but this is phenomenal. Enjoy, Lee. ❤
Hey ya all in Lee Land!!! U2 is in my top 3 bands❣️ This song in particular is one of their best songs. WORD PLAY SONG ALONG WITH "BAD"
Peak 80's hair.
agreed
The Unforgetable Fire is a great song. I love Bullet the Blue Sky, too. Hey, do you have a ghost living with you?😆 I used to live in an apt that had something like that going on. I saw it once. But it used to shove by me and my bf felt it sit on the bed with him a few times. The cats saw it often. It wasn't scary and didn't feel bad in any way, but we finally told it to stop and it did. The apt manager told us a while after we moved out that the people after us said the place was haunted.
U2, all the way
When you send in 1 song to L33 and get his Awesome reaction it's like "eating 1 potato chip!" Suddenly you need to send in more ...lol!!
😎💪💯♥️🎶
I know .. I found L33 when he found Jethro Tull. Now he's deluged with my Tull requests LOL
@@corawheeler9355 yeah I've sent in like five or six requests in my first week so he must be going crazy...lol
You're going to really like Bullet The Blue Sky. Not their most famous song by far but a gem. The drum and bass parts are really something. Also the guitar and vocals. 😄
But, as others have said, their catalog is deep. With or Without You, Where the Streets Have No Name, Gloria, Sunday Bloody Sunday, I Will Follow, Red Mining Town, the list goes on and on.
Chrissie Hynde pronounced "HIgh-Ned".....lead singer of The Pretenders
👍 U2
Early morning April 4, shot rings out in a Memphis sky...
FREE AT LAST they took your life they could NOT take your PRIDE! #MLK❤
FYI - the assassination of MLK actually happened at 6:00PM. But still this is one of U2’s best songs.
A great man. But, just a man. Like any one of us. Fallible. But, as he so eloquently put it, he had a dream.
@@ScottDeBerg yes I just saw that 6p.m too I guess lyrical license as it's more moving described thay way or they could have said early evening actually too..👍💯♥️
@@L33Reacts if you listen again knowing it's about him the lyrics will hit you harder... we are obviously all are just men and woman but we can achieve great things despite our smallness and human frailty if we have the heart, dedication and desire to make a difference. ❤
Some of the lyrics are about others in history too. Bono has said it's about all of them, not just MLK, Jr.@@scottyhotty1003
Listen to the bass. Adsorb the Edge. Ride with Adam.
Holy CRAP!!! 300 away from 20K!!! Woohoo!! 🎉🎶🔥💯♥️
So excited for you bro 100 away from 20K❤
Lee, I hope you see my comment further down in reply to your discussion with someone else because U2 are worth a deep dive, just maybe not the big arena rock hits most would probably keep suggesting. I'm thinking about what you would probably like most. :)
Here's an interesting thing that occurred once to U2. Bono's life was threatened if they did this song. Adam is their bass player.
'U2 began their Joshua Tree Tour in Tempe, Arizona, where the governor was opposed to Martin Luther King Day being made a US federal holiday. By the time the band headed back to Tempe to close out the tour, they were receiving death threats for supporting the proposed holiday. Things took a serious turn before their gig at Sun Devil Stadium when someone claimed he would shoot Bono on stage if he sang the King-inspired song. Bono recalls in the band's book U2 by U2: "One night the FBI said: 'Look, it's quite serious. He says he has a ticket. He said he's armed. An he said if you sing 'Pride (In The Name Of Love),' he's going to shoot you.' So we played the show, the FBI were around, everyone was a little unnerved. You just didn't know, could he be in the building? Up in the rafters? On the roof? During 'Pride,' I was singing the third verse, 'Early morning April 4, a shot rings out in a Memphis sky.' I just closed my eyes and sang. And when I opened my eyes, Adam was standing in front of me."
Wow didnt know that Chrissy Hynde Pretenders did backing vocals in this song! I think Kerr was her married name at the time (was she?) to the simple minds lead singer? I think thats his name..maybe? Or just a pseudonym?
Yep, Jim Kerr.
@@kevjones5047 she divorced him for cheating I think if I remember correctly?
Hey L33, U2 did a collaboration on 'Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For'with a gospel choir. It was fire! I highly recommend it to you - online or off, I think you'll love it.
Hey L33 I went to parochial private school as well from first grade to 8th and then a year of high school as well so I feel your pain I also have dreams of that place and they're usually not good LOL
You got a Casper the ghost 👻
OMG YAY I **LUV** this song had to pause it at 2:11 tho cuz ha man maybe ya have a ghost that was wild k goin in to finish...
Hey L33!@! 400 away from 20K woohoo its working💯♥️🎶🔥
3:42 I just reacted to this song recently and I thought the same thing 😂that hair is from another time period
Yeah, that's a foreign world right there compared to our current one lol
Could you react to their song "Bullet the blue sky" live from Chicago, Vertigo tour. Please.
They were very political back then. Great tune. Thanks for the reaction.
#GabrielHenrique ❤❤ Number like 2
I leave as a suggestion for your reaction, the talented Gabriel Henrique with the cover LOVE BY GRACE by Lara Fabian
Ohhhhhh pleeeaseee go down the Gabriel Henrique rabbit hole. Lara fabian writer singer rabbit hole too.someone please help us out😂😂
Is it Chrissie Hynde the lead singer of The Pretenders?
200 Away from 20K!!!❤
What’s that shadow behind you???????
😮 lolol
U2 actually made a BIG historical error on this song....
"Early morning, April 4
A shot rings out in the Memphis sky..."
Martin Luther King was actually assassinated around 6 PM.
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky. MLK
MLK gets a whole verse and Jesus just gets one throwaway line?
Sadly, Bono sold his soul to WEF Klaus Schwab. He was used as a minion. Lets hope he gets it back. Rock and roll is s strong force.
MLK
I really like their Joshua Tree album. I didn’t like the album they “forced “ on us, mainly because they forced it.
U2 gets alot of shit. But they are such a great band.
