This is one of the best induction speeches ever, you can see the kind of chemistry these two have shared over the course of their professional and personal careers!!

[@johnjjohningtoniii2439]

Bono is very eloquent. I can not imagine this going better with another musician.

[@DontGoToHell]

White people can never disprove they are “racist”, our very existence is seen as a form of “racism” by the so-called “anti-racists”. They say all things White must become “diverse” or it is “racism”. They say there should be no White countries, no White communities, no White schools, no White sports, no White social gatherings, etc. The anti-Whites give us Whites two choices: AcceptWhite geNOcide or you are a “racist”. Anti-racist is a code word for anti-White.

[@shawnuel]

@@johnjjohningtoniii2439 And Bruce's speech inducting U2 was equally excellent.

[@cathyhardy6563]

Both artists have Irish Roots-Bono in Kilkenny and Bruce's dad's family hails from Co. Cork.

[@artlover1477]

​@terjehansen0101 You must of been listening to a different speech? Throwing people under the bus?

[@schroederscurrentevents3844]

As Bruce said himself once, “always have an Irishman give your introduction.”

[@SKnight1968]

Way to finish a speech, Mr. Springsteen is not just "The Boss" but he's "The Owner". That said it all right there, nuff said!

[@TNbear0126]

I love this. Bono sometimes takes some grief and flak, but the man is articulate and passionate, and knows how to string together uplifting, thoughtful words, with the best of them. Of course he’s gonna induct Bruce. 😊

[@doolally1478]

I think a couple of the other rock stars are jealous ? They have long faces.

[@chrisitnahester8836]

Dreadful speech by Bono. Talk about damming with faint praise!

[@RequiemVaccaro]

He certainly knows how to give a speech.

[@chrisitnahester8836]

Bruce or Bono?

[@jabello]

Happy 71st Birthday Bruce!

[@Hamptonio]

5:05 Byrne is asking himself…well… “How did I get here???”

[@lazerlazer]

Great speech!

[@doolally1478]

I love hearing his laugh Too cool

What can you say? Beautiful, is Bono after all

[@marybethwitecki5747]

[@chrisitnahester8836]

Bruce?

[@ericsilberstein667]

Bono and U2 great alt artists/band.

That was great! I want Bono to give my eulogy.

[@deedeforest3792]

I love this❤

[@artlover1477]

F all u Bono haters. When he sang those "Sandy" lyrics it was beautiful, I got emotional. I think he and Bruce have mutual respect for one another....that's good enough for me.

[@jamesdavison2927]

Amen

[@pugtales]

I don't and can't understand, how can anyone hate Bono?? Wtf

[@lisad9676]

Seriously! Bono is a walking legend

[@chrisitnahester8836]

I don´t hate Bono, but his speech about Springsteen was appalling. Honestly, watch it again. Didn´t bother to prepare, read from scripts initially, and somehow managed to "remember" without notes, all the negative things he could find.

[@lisad9676]

@@chrisitnahester8836 not getting that at all. It’s clear he has much respect for Bruce

[@craigmoola7108]

Go Bono! ♥️

The Boss

Visão dos deuses amo demaisssssss apaixonada por Bono dês dos meus 15 anos lindo ontem hoje e sempre meu amor por vc não muda esse olhar me mata loko demais pena ser bem mais nova pois perdi milhares de shows mas o amor permanece até o fim ( amo vc Bono)

[@jgray1711]

This speech was about Springsteen. 😂 😊

[@chrisitnahester8836]

Strange comment.

[@depmodealex]

Bono was drunk af right here lol

[@benzykaram]

He just had his required Irish dosage.

[@anniejewkes5506]

Wouldn’t you be, too? He was celebrating The Boss…and celebrating WITH him, as well. 😀

[@ruman962]

Wetting lips means coke son.

[@peytonmcpherson2328]

Where was this Bono at the Popmart tour he looked so different when he cut his hair so short In Popmart and grew it back

[@Adam-oy4ix]

As good as the speech that Bruce gave in return for U2....

[@47imagine]

Bono looks so much younger without those damn shades. I know he wears them for health reasons, but idk ...

[@jamesdavison2927]

IT ALSO HAS TO DO WITH THE HORRIBLE CHOICE OF GLASSES LATELY (Sorry- pisses me off)

He was like 39 here, he was still young

Who knew Bono had such a sexy voice? Between Thomas Shelby and this, I may move to Ireland!

5:04 be like “not impressed, too cool.”

[@jptrotter8305]

This is ALMOST as good as the speech Bruce gave when he inducted U2 into the HOF

[@wienerlips4240]

1999? Seems kind of late for him to be inducted then

[@VSchneidermann]

No, the requirement is a 25 year-long career and his first record is from 1973, so it couldn't be much sooner.

[@AnonymousAccount514]

wow...bono is funny

[@saraswatisky3119]

Bonos daddy was home when he wrote this speech.

[@zackzallie8735]

**Robin Williams inducts Springsteen lol

Future reference: "how to BE in the business; not of it"

[@christianprice4249]

David Byrne wasn't buying it!

[@d1p70]

Someone had to say it! I picked that immediately. But there is a time for irreverence, and a time for passion. To everything, turn...

[@mjbl1787]

lmao you can see david byrne and lou reed looking annoyed

[@Azabaxe80]

David Byrne doesn't look amused.

[@Bodlasona]

Here It seems like Bono talking about Springsteen like he is Chuck Norris or something.

[@edbredin6406]

Great stuff but that fella from from Talking Heads looks as bored 😴

[@sanjamatsuri]

Today Bono lost his accent...pity...

[@guneetlehl8098]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmKbmXmXos1mn5Isi=n8znVPF9nwZLQVLt There were so many mike drop moments… that it became almost embarrassing that he carried on Too many sign offs / headlines ( in ad speak) that it sounds as if he’s trying to impress you with his speech rather than tell you how great Bruce Springsteen was But then I’m told he didn’t write it all … So too many cooks do spoil the broth . Look I love the speech And I love Bruce And I love U2 too And I love the whole rock & roll trip And I dig it …and I’ve ( in my own minuscule way ) lived that life ( & Kerouac’s too ) … But I still felt this was too too over the top And not true rock & roll

[@Aleakwe]

[@seethelight1417.]

BONO is a TOOL!!!

[@Sean-Ireland]

Maybe but you have to admit he is a very good talker, must be an Irish kinda thing i guess

[@colinpowell6525]

Love Bruce, simply a brilliant artist. Love early u2 until after the J. Tree but Bono seems on Coke here....

No al politiqueros de BONO..!

[@bartobruintjes7056]

The name Springsteen has nothing to do with Jewish. It's a Dutch name, and Bruce has Dutch roots.

[@bridgetharris698]

“Steen” as in “Stein” calm down, how you missed that is beyond me

[@bartobruintjes7056]

@@bridgetharris698 Steen is a Dutch word, and not the German word Stein. So you calm down okay.

[@mikehawthorne1396]

Glad he mentioned him; to me the worst ever and the most annoying "song" is his: "BOOOOOOOOOORN in AmeriCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!! - endlessly . . .

[@robinbanks7211]

another cult member 😂

[@dondamon4669]

The speech sounds good but nothing he is saying is true?? 😂! You can’t just say things that sound good but completely false? Is he a politician? I’m sure Bowie, Faces,Zeppelin,Sabbath, T. rex ,the whole glam thing,etc would disagree that there was nothing going on in the seventies.

[@shiftylad9938]

He was saying that it was about him living in Dublin and what resonated with him. Ireland was rotten back then. Almost a third world country, but Bono got Bruce Springsteen. Hope you are well in 23

[@artlover1477]

You pointed out some great bands and artists from that era. I am in Bono's age range and also kinda felt it was arena rock wasteland during the mid 70s. Bruce was a breath of fresh air and then punk came. I was liberated.

When one egomaniac inducts the other.

[@redskywalker3374]

Is this about Bono or Bruce ... egotistic maniacs ..the movie & the music world is mad ..mad I say mad

[@chrisitnahester8836]

Appalling speech by Bono. Perhaps he could have rehearsed or memorised it, to show some respect. And then to think of ever bad thing Springsteen did. Admittedly he struggled with that. A touch of jealousy I think.

[@mikentosh]

Paul had some strange facial expressions…he was high on something…
