This LP, Joshua Tree, was their best selling and also probably their most critically acclaimed. I think you've done their two very poppy songs of it. Where The Streets have No Name is a good one from it. You may want to try New Year's Day or Sunday Bloody Sunday, from 1983's War LP. They haven't been getting that much love from reactors, so it's good to see. Saw them live at MSG right after 9/11. A very intense show. They invited dozens of NY's first responders on the stage at one point; not a dry eye. Great band✌

@tammyford2357 2 года назад

Where the Streets have no Name is my favorite song of all times. There’s just something about it that makes me happy.

@TheJimprez 2 года назад

THAT is spoken like someone that never lived as a teen in the early-mid 80s, when they FIRST came out and hit the dance floors and parties and yellow walkmans in cassette tape format. . The fact that they were FAMOUS and drew big crowds by then BECAUSE of their first work, made the 90s album so popular. Without the previous decade of their BEST HITS ever, they would NEVER have had the Joshua tree and Rattle and Hum successes. They got there because they were SO GOOD in the beginning. Mc Donalds still sells a LOT of burgers even though their new stuff is pure filth and 1/2 the size and quality of the original, for 20X the price ONLY because they had a previous period to GET people to like them with better products. You are confusing the chicken and the egg here.

It's a song about Bono being completely torn apart of being a musician and at the same time a husband to his wife Ali. A difficult task to connect those two worlds. It never gets old :)

@CaptWalker 2 года назад

Well you would think being a millionaire like Bono would make such a situation a bit easier, rather than writing some "woe is me" song about it...just saying.

@Mukinje 2 года назад

@@CaptWalker That's the point. Instead of writing a generic love song, he expressed his true feelings at the time and wrote the lyrics to portray it. Call it the art. In my opinion, that's the reason what U2 set apart from the rest back in the 80's. Yes, he is a millionaire. Do you think it's an easy process to write and records music plus touring and so on. You would become increasingly frustrated being stuck on the road, in the studio, away from a person you love. It's a universal song that we can all relate to.

@dipsydoodle7988 2 года назад

Cool reaction. I can honestly say this is one of those times where maybe you are both right on the meaning of the song. This definitely came out in the 80s and was a massive hit. U2 have a sound all their own. I wouldn't say you can instantly peg them as 80s, even tho most of their material came out during that period. I also could understand the Smashing Pumpkins reference, even tho at first I didn't get it. Obviously it isn't the voices, but I think its something about how the guitar has that ethereal quality in this song as in so many SP songs. U2 doesn't have all chill, mellow songs. They have plenty of rockers, but it's not in the thrasher, melt your face off way. The guitar is always a standout with U2, but it is very distinctive. Also, like many of the other GIANT bands and artists of the day like Duran Duran and INXS and Prince, you cannot fully appreciate them until you experience them live. For U2, I always refer people to their performance of "Bad" at Live Aid. It's a must see.

@tvo2563 2 года назад

strong album, made better by the producers Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno.

@aj81ds 2 года назад

The Edge, Larry and Bono are all amazing in this song but Adam's bass guitar is the unsung hero. Although easy to play it's the driving force of the song and the tone is so good. The Joshua Tree (the album this song is on) was release in 1987.

@jamesburnett6247 2 года назад

U2 were the soul of the 80s. The lyrical brilliance & poignancy of Bono was unmatched. They really had to be appreciated live to get the full effect & power of this band though.

@PjRjHj 2 года назад

You can really hear Brian Eno's fingerprints on this song. One of there most well known tunes. I personally lean to their earlier Post Punk era. The "War" album is brilliant.

@mr.esmathvideos9222 2 года назад

The reason this song sounds like the 2000’s to you is because almost every guitar player since U2 became huge is reacting in some way to the Edge. A ton of bands (including worship bands) have adopted that dotted eighth note delay he made famous. Most modeling guitar amps and multi effects boxes have a preset that’s a nod to their sound. I think a lot of younger people listen to the bands who started a revolution and lose sight of the direction of influence.

@s.mcpherson6354 2 года назад

I remember going to some friend's gig and the bass player was late. This song wasn't in their set, but everyone knew what it sounded like, and the singer knew the words, so they asked me, (a drummer), to sit on on bass, since that line is so simple. It was so fun that I got my band to work on a song called "Playground" where we all swapped instruments.

@meganclick6002 2 года назад

I can see the Smashing Pumpkins similarity in the way both bands create a soundscape for their lyrics. Quite a bit of the Pumpkins sound is ambient. I was a Pumpkins fan first and actually checked out U2 because of the lead singer’s love of U2. Lyrically, there are a few similarities as well. Both enjoy being romantic in the literary way(focused on feeling, perception, and experience) and the Pumpkins also use a fair bit of biblical allusions, though U2 uses it quite a bit more.

@kevingallagher4673 2 года назад

I'm bias of course being an Irish person but proud of U2 ....as a young child/teen and now as a 47-year-old they have been my band as well as other Irish bands too ... to grow up with this band has been unreal, going to their many concerts is a true life event and listening to their songs to help with breakups and dancing at parties they have been there for many life moments both good and bad ...

U2 has a fairly large catalogue of really good music, that happens when you are one of the biggest bands for a couple decades, for some different vibes from them look for "Desire" "Where the streets have no name". I think a lot of their sound comes from Daniel Lanois, a very well regarded musician and record producer from Canada, he's French Canadian, it was from listening to U2 that introduced me to his music, IMO it is very good to. If you are familiar with Red Dead Redemption 2, which I'm not, much of the music in that game is his, A couple of my favourites from his album "Acadie , are "Still Water" and "The Maker"

@cherisparkes4447 2 года назад

One of the things that made this song stand out is the utilization new technology: somebody did a Star Trek "reverse the polarity" job on the guitar, turning the pickups into mics. A note strummed into a string would create a feed-back loop, creating self-perpetuating sustain...thus, the Infinite Guitar was born, creating this timeless classic.

There are also Christian themes woven throughout many U2 songs. For instance: hands tied, body bruised, nothing left to give ....nothing left to lose - could be Christ on the cross... giving himself away (to humanity)... or to the church (which is often personified as being a female)... I've read one of their books which reveals some of the messaging behind many of their songs. Many of their songs have multiple meanings (as well).

You guys nailed the meaning being up for debate. U2 typically records instrumental parts before completing the lyrics which kind of forces the meaning to be vague, because the words must fit the existing instrumental. Bono has said that he likes that people can find different meanings in their songs because the lyrics typically are up for enterpretation.

in his 20s and bono is singing about a lifetime of lonelyness and pain only a small percent of people go through such a thing even bb king noticed this in rattle and hum then he sings and thats all she wrote..... his pain and lonelyness come through in his singing

Fantastic analysis - this is a song written by Bono about his wife Ali - this song was written in 1987, and they have been married 40 years. ( So I guess I think Lex is right here?!?)

Lex might like the 2001 live from Boston performance. :) Emotional version as well as more. "My hands are tied My body bruised, she got me with Nothing to win and nothing left to lose"

What you get from watching the official video is that it's unrequited love, hence the can't live with or without you and so the guy in love with the girl who's in love with someone else dies.

This is 1987, but probably written in 1985/6. This was about 10 years before Smashing Pumpkins, really. And U2 had already been around for a decade by this point. U2 is a seminal rock band who have inspired two generations of musicians, hands down.

U2 is one of the most brilliant and serious bands ever. Listen to Sunday, Bloody Sunday.

1987 I was 21.....listening to The Joshua Tree the first time was like having a. religious experience....it still is......

U2. We’re originally called the Larry Mullen band. After the drummer who put the band together!

I like the way you guys can talk about the song and neither one of you HAS to be right. You listen to each other and feed off the others ideas. Great way to live together, i hope this how you deal with all things. great job on a big U2 hit.

I was in college when this album was released. It was everywhere on campus, blaring out of all the dorms. Good memories.

Just me watching Lex nail out the "meaning" of the lyrics... the feelings are complex, and it just takes you to that place.

One or Bullet the Blue Sky definitely deserves a listen.

I ❤ this song! U2 was an amazing rock group from Ireland that swept over America with "Sunday Bloody Sunday" and "Pride (In the Name of Love)" to name just a few.
