How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb is a CRACKING album, it was a fantastic indicator that U2 were STILL capable of delivering great music even after all these years. This is definitely one of the standouts, but there are plenty of others, particularly standout highlights like City of Blinding Lights and especially Vertigo, which is one of their very best pure ROCK OUT tracks EVER. Just a really great record all round.

[@jasonhanley3590]

One of their best albums

[@DavGro]

Don't forget Original of the species.

[@250278]

now react to Every breaking wave live MTV´s EMA 2014, and prepare to be amazed.

[@lionfromthenorth4580]

This is a masterpiece. I always cry when I hear it.. In my opinion, this band can't go wrong. I've loved them ever since the 80's (when I heard them for the first time). Their music is grabbing you and throwing you into a storm. All you can do is just enjoy the ride...

[@bobbyb2725]

“Best you can do is to fake it.” In falsetto! Genius

[@JamesSmith-cm7sg]

"It's you when I look in the mirror". Something about that line is really deep. It's like being stabbed in the heart and feeling proud at the same time.

[@ilhamhasinur8871]

U2 has loads of great songs other than their popular and hit songs.... That's why U2 is the best band of the last 40 years and the biggest live band of the last 35 years.

[@Saranda4787]

Bono lost his mother (Iris) at a very young age, then it was only him, his brother and his father. His father was closed off, never talked about his wife (Bono's mother), never told his kids that he loved them and didn't really know how to be a single father. I didn't know my father either. He was just there, he existed, but never really lived. You shouldn't have to take it upon yourself, especially as a kid, to wake up your parent and try to make them feel loved, make them participate in life and make you feel loved as well. But that's what I did. He died in October of 2004, when I was 16, and then this song came.

[@solorgana]

Thanks for the reaction. One of my favorite U2 songs. And, thanks, for opening up. It's tough for me too.

[@mermaid6808]

Thank you, this was a great, thoughtful reaction to this incredible, intimate song. My absolute favorite one is 'Stuck in a moment'. A song that has often accompanied me in hard times. The lyrics and the melody make my eyes wet even when everything is alright. In addition to the official or the lyrics video, there is an unplugged live version only with Bono and The Edge on David Letterman. I can't choose what I like better... When I want to listen to this song I always play the lyrics video first and then the acoustic version. And, by the way, thanks for sharing your personal insight with us.

[@johncallaghan1787]

❤

[@mysticedge4]

In this video when Bono’s walking on the road and sitting in that bed is a great moment that was captured. The neighborhood he’s walking in was the one he grew up in and the bed is in his childhood bedroom. He had a rough childhood with his mother passing away when he was 14 and he had a very rough relationship with his father.

[@JamesKovacic]

This album came out right after my grandfather passed away, then months later my parents almost divorced. I locked myself away in my room and played this song on repeat. Got me through some rough times

[@nellyweini8188]

This song is definitely one of my favorite U2 songs. It always gives me goosebumps, especially seeing this video. It’s absolutely stunning. U2’s music is for me like medicine for the soul. Their lyrics are amazing. I’m a fan since 1987 and I always say that U2’s music is the soundtrack to my life. They started as boys playing in a garage and grew up and so did their music. Please check out some from their latest albums. Every Braking Wave, Song for Someone, The Little Things, Love Is Bigger Than Anything In it’s Way and so much more 🥰🎶🎼

[@lauraallen55]

There are so many from them, it's hard to know where to go next. 🙃

[@nellyweini8188]

@@lauraallen55 I agree 100%

[@epicccurusaurelius2634]

Im a fan of U2 since the 80s and can say they have very different kind of songs through the years. Listen to this list I will write down and you will get what I mean. They changed their style every few years. 1. The unforgettable fire 2. New Years day 3. Angel of Harlem 4. Stay 5. All I want is you 6. Summer of love

[@KoYou9NWTM]

Great list. Every track.

[@ginamarandino6451]

That whole album is a masterpiece I cannot listen to this song without crying every time it's so emotional I think that's what makes Bono such an amazing musician is that he doesn't just die from attic breathe he whole body breathes you can hear him down to his toes his technique is so exceptional. City of blinding lights it's fantastic you need to hear it in fact you need to hear a little album but I'm biased I love U2

[@GayJayU26]

We saw U2 play in Manchester the day after his father died, it was so emotional

[@jims.1137]

If you're looking for a great performance, check out U2's "Every Breaking Wave", live from the EMA's performance....No filters, no auto tune, just raw...

[@maryl1785]

My favorite rendition of Every Breaking Wave performed outside at a New Enland bed and breakfast. It's on YT. Pls find that one, I think you'd enjoy it.

[@KoYou9NWTM]

Yes. It’s terrific. Real.

[@jaynesullivan2594]

one of the best songs ever written by one of the best bands on the planet

[@poetinmyheart94]

Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of and All I Want Is You are definitely ones to check out!

[@lauraallen55]

All I Want Is You the lyrics are killer on that one. Then, So Cruel is like the flip side of that.

[@SweetThing]

The song is about his father who had recently passed away in 2014. Love the uniqueness of U2 and Bono. There is no other band like them. I can always tell their songs within a few notes by the Edge's guitar or Bono's singing. I will always be a fan.

[@sugrrkisses]

The line, “and it’s you when I don’t pick up the phone” hits the hardest because I sometimes don’t answer the phone because it’s my mom or dad and there’s days when they’re difficult to deal with. Given that Bono and his dad bumped heads, I’m sure there were days he didn’t answer the phone 😭😭😭. It’s such a sad song.

[@johncallaghan1787]

♥️❤️

[@fday1964]

I love how the band is revealed to be performing in an opera house, tying into the opening statement by Bono. Been a fan since the early 80's, when Gloria was a staple on MTV, and have seen them live 19 times for just about all their tours. Bono has written several songs about his father...Dirty Day has the lyric "..a work that's never done, father to son". The First Time ends with "..my father is a rich man, he wears a rich man's cloak. He said I have many mansions, and there are many rooms to see...but I left through the back door, and threw away the key".

[@jackjackson3769]

I Love this song , so deep. I hadn't seen the video before.

The scene with Bono laying on the bed is actually his childhood bedroom....they went back and asked the new owners if they could film part of the video....try ONE TREE HILL...from JoshuaTree album...

[@reactionfan1448]

10 cedarwood Road have been there before the first time seeing it was amazing and even more so was seeing Larry Mullen's old House " 60 Rosemount Avenue in Artane Dublin this is where it all started for the band the first gig was in Larry's kitchen in 1976 "

[@johncallaghan1787]

♥️❤️❣️♥️❤️. Take care Anton, tough to hear you been so honest and raw about your dad .

[@MicroRhin0]

Bono’s dad plays a prominent role in Anton Corbijn’s video of “One”. It is one of three videos for “One” released by the band.

[@lauraallen55]

All three videos for One are just stunning.

[@ginamarandino6451]

What makes this song, so great is the emotion and the passion coming from Bono. It's like bring me to life with Amy Lee no one can sing it like her with that passion, Bono just makes the song and such a quiet and understated way

[@AWalkOnDirt]

This song’s album is wonderful. Huge fan and this song is one of their best. Concerts are spiritual

[@lauraallen55]

Agreed on concerts, at least the one I saw! They're doing something in Vegas next year. Looks amazing. 🥰

[@gordieparenteau6555]

As someone who lost my father relatively recently (January 2019), I listened to this song on repeat constantly in the days following his passing. I had a difficult relationship with my father, just as Bono did. We fought constantly. We were, and are, so much alike. Too much alike for either of us. I saw U2 on that Vertigo Tour in 2005. When they would play "Sometimes", you could see both Bono himself and the audience around him fighting back tears the whole way through, night after night. It's why they've never played it again after that tour. Bono had always said that he has to "live in the song" to sing it. Every time he sang it, he was right back there in the hospital room with Bob as he passed, and has to reopen that festering wound over and over again.

[@ursgeiser6570]

Cratulation to find this song. For me an absolut masterpiece: deep lyrics, start so atmosheric then grows and grows .... a great live version from the free "Under The Brooklyn Bridge" album Promotion concert.(doc + concert 57:43 video on internet): Bonos live voice, so nuances riched. Great respect that such a song was short time no.1 in the UK charts. Same topic and also one of my favor KITE - not so bulding up musically, but U2 go bluesy; there exist a few good live versions. One of the first popular song I Will Follow 1980 (performed almost in every concert) or IRIS 2014 are about his mother, died in his childhood, too early. From the same album a typical U2 song Miracle Drug, but also with a deep background. Its worth reasearching. Have great fun with any kind of good music.

[@abbear34]

This is amazing and it touches on his relationship with his father. When his father passed away he wrote the song Kite. With that in mind listen to Kite, and try not to think about your own father. I do an acoustic cover of the song and I can't help but have tears in my eyes when I finish the song.

[@TheGabrielAmerican]

Exceptional reaction

[@MrJonnyblade]

U2 can be pigeonholed as a ballad type of band, and their recorded stuff can be a bit like that, but they can also let rip as well, this usually happens on stage, so listen to them live. Try listening to live versions of Bad (Live Aid), Until the end of the World (Slane Castle) , Please (MTV version) Exit, Dirty Day, Kite (Slane Castle), Acrobat, Breathe (Milan), Love is Blindness (Sydney) Sunday Bloody Sunday (Red Rocks), Electric Co (Rockpalast) and Bullet the Blue Sky (Paris 2015)

[@lauraallen55]

Love Is Blindness Sydney is done and will be up before you know it! I plan on requesting (at least) Sunday and Bullet at some point in the future. You could always help me out requesting songs lol! :)

[@stabcitySB]

Anton, you are the man!

[@justincredible.]

That's Bono, the song is about his father (and his relationship, and lack there of, with him). After his mother died when Bono was very young.

[@sarahocampo8166]

I suggest 'Breathe' from No Line on the Horizon

[@ryans.1900]

I'ma be honest here... these are the best reaction videos; you are just so incredibly genuine (and also genuinely incredible)! If I could make a humble song request: The Little Things That Give You Away It's from their last album, and I don't believe there's any music video... but for reactionary purposes, there is a live performance from their appearance on Jimmy Kimmel's show. It's just one of those wonderfully soul-crushing (and also soul-crushingly wonderful) melodies that can't help but make you feel some kinda way ;) Anyway, love your stuff, and keep the reactions flowing!

[@pietersbart]

The Edge is very underestimated. He is not the flashy screaming solo guitar player. He is very good at building an atmosphere, building layers and still make you feel it. He can play amazing solo’s, listen for instance to their live recording of Love is Blindness which was made when he divorced his wife: kzbin.info/www/bejne/roa7h3hqfKqqo8U I think Bono writes most of the lyrics and the lyrics are so beautiful and poetic with great messages. I do feel their lyrics are central to them. This song he wrote for his father who was to stubborn to accept help and he sings to his father ‘Sometimes you cannot make it on your own’. I think you felt that when you read through the lyrics :-) They have many many beautiful songs and I do not really get why they got this negative press.

[@lauraallen55]

Edge has a very light/soft touch on the guitar. Yes, Love is Blindness is really very good! Then again, I love everything on Achtung Baby. :)

[@cecilialeitet2794]

The live only solo of One is so beautiful it makes me cry.

[@lauraallen55]

@@cecilialeitet2794 I want to request the live version of One, It is stunning, yes.

There is a version of The Edge singing Love is Blindness and playing acoustic with it. It is fantastic. He has a soothing voice. And it goes well with Bono's.

[@GayJayU26]

There is another that does the same thing is KITE from Sydney

[@stabcitySB]

You were spot on with the tone. For any fellow U2, Oasis, Metallica fans out there like myself; In the Apple Music interview between Lars Ulrich and Noel Gallagher, they discuss U2 and why they’re great. Worth a watch.

[@wahedghardji3957]

I rather think Anton should react to a *LIVE* version of Where the Streets Have No Name. The famous live versions (e.g. Slane Castle in 2001; Super Bowl performance; anything on the Elevation tour) are epic. Even the band themselves have said in interviews that the song was never really finished & fully realized until U2 played it live. But to each their own. The album version is an undeniable hit, too.

@@anthonymotta8264 - it’s a close call, but I feel the version from Zoo TV (with the transition from ‘Running to Stand Still’) is the most epic of them all. The famous VHS, Sydney version is great, but the 1993 Dublin concert is probably the best.

[@danielgrimes8312]

Although their best albums were older ; the 2000's were a decade where they maintained the most consistent high quality...

[@Balfour.]

I've always said there's two U2s - The U2 of the hits and the creative and soulful U2, and in my mind they're both clearly separated. The former is ok and to some extent a bit like meh. The latter however is absolutely mesmerizing and sadly very few people get to know about it.

[@lauraallen55]

They don't get to know about it because they only hear the radio hits or the really popular songs. I think some from every decade fit the soulful category. I mean When Love Comes To Town, Desire, Angel Of Harlem from Rattle and Hum period are so different from Sunday Bloody Sunday and Pride, etc., and all of those so very different from the 90s songs. But it's all good in different ways. Even their B sides like Dancing Barefoot cover - they have so much that no one ever hears. For Anton, he didn't know but 1 or 2 songs by them at this point. He's heard a lot more now, but still only a couple live sadly.

[@javix2013]

Perhaps this song has been the last great U2 classic, from that year until today, I have not heard new U2 songs that deserve that category, I don't know if they have lost a bit of inspiration or what, but they haven't called me much pay attention to the songs they have released in recent years.

[@jollymolly2521]

Excuse me...did you just try to put Linkin Park and Disturbed on the same level as U2? I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Those two bands can't even carry Adam Clayton's guitar case...and Adam is far from the most important member of U2. No offense to Adam. Three words for ya - The Joshua Tree. Listen to that album and learn. Linkin Park and Disturbed would kill to have a Joshua Tree in their history of mediocre music. U2 has been together nearly 40 years and have only made 14 albums. Even their worst album (Pop) is better than Linkin Park's or Disturbed's best albums. I'd throw up a hand emoji but I'm too lazy to find one. SMDH.

[@lauraallen55]

I'm like the biggest U2 fan out there, but that doesn't mean those other bands don't deserve respect. Anton, too. Everyone does. The Joshua Tree is great, but I'm partial to Achtung Baby, and I know someone partial to War and so on. It's music, so it's like any other kind of art: subjective. Also, to call Adam far from the most important member of U2, I think every other member of U2 would disagree with you about that. The members of U2 consider each one of their whole as equally important. Possibly part of why they've been together for so long.

[@robbiecarroll5491]

I am massive U2 fan, but Linkin Park in their own right are epic and Chester what voice from hard to soft, we are talking different types of music, show some respected for the beauty of music it makes you love angry horny nuts love it for what it is.
