U2 are an Irish rock band formed in Dublin in 1976, comprising of Bono, the Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen. They are one of the biggest rock bands in the world, with a huge catalogue of music. Some of my favourites are 'Pride', 'I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For', 'Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me', (from Batman Forever 1995), and 'Vertigo'. I've never heard of 30 Seconds to Mars but I see they are an American band that formed in 1998, so yes, maybe they were influenced by U2? Thanks so much for your reaction, Anthony. 😊❤

Saw them live at the Helsinki Olympic Stadium in 1997 and I remember when they topped the charts in UK and Ireland with New Year's Day when I was living in Ireland as a kid. Love all the songs that you mentioned and I would add "With of Without You" and "One" to the list of absolutely greatest U2 hits. And ofcourse "New Year's Day" from a different era of U2's early sound. ❤🎵

My first time hearing U2 was in 1985. I was 11 years old. It was on Live Aid. They created history with that performance. I’ve seen them live in my adult life and will say like the music or not their live shows are top notch. Not 1 person sitting for the entirety of the show. Such a great live band.

Probably the hardest the songs they have are: -Bullet the Blue Sky (ZooTV tour - Sydney, Australia) -The Fly (music video) -Sunday Bloody Sunday (Rattle & Hum) -Electric Co (Live at Red Rocks)

I cannot take this band!!! I GET TOO emotional They make me CRY!!!! I absolutely adore them!!! From the very beginning when they came to fam in the 80's this band among other artist took 9 months off to help to Sudanese people in Africa who were dying of the thousands every day.....then after rallying people if western nations to raise money and send food and clothing to many places in Africa....they starting making people in the west aware of Apartheid in South Africa ...these guys are well-known throughout the world along with Pearl Jam their humanitarianism. I see them performed once!!! Greatest show EVER!!! My friends and I cried a lot in that concert!!! They are just good humans and we all know it!!!!

The actual story of the U2 album on "everyone's iphones". The album was a surprise release, and as a promotion -- remember, this was before streaming dominated, and a ton of people were still buying digital albums -- the new U2 album was added to the library of every iTunes user for free. The issues started happening because the default setting in iTunes at the time was "Download New Content Added to Library - On", and so the moment the album was given to people's libraries for free, their devices/apps started downloading it automatically, making it seem like Apple "pushed" it onto all their users. iPhone users were also automatically logged into iTunes as part of logging into the phone itself, so even people who used other music apps, or didn't use their phone for music at all, were suddenly seeing a U2 album show up. The idea was "free album from the biggest band in the world", but the engineering QA team forgot to ask some basic questions before it went live.

Saw U2 at Arizona State Sun Devil stadium end of 1987 where making Rattle and Hum movie. $5 tickets and BB King opened. Will never forget as The Edge wore a Maya Indian jacket just like my father's from Honduras. My father died 3 years prior when I was 18. Great concert, memory, and still emotional 40 years later.

If memory serves me correctly, Bono's Dad died a day or two before this concert. I think added more than a little to the whole atmosphere of the concert.

Great reaction again. Been a fan for 38 years and have seen them 13 times. If you want some harder stuff, check out these from their ZooTV in Sydney. Bullet the Blue Sky The Fly Until The End of The World Others I will Follow Sunday Bloody Sunday Vertigo Mofo Hold Me Thrill me Kiss Me Kill Me Always react to live versions from U2. Nobody beats them. Also, Jerod Leto has said he started the band because of U2. He’s a huge fan. And a side note, U2 is the longest running band with all original members ever. Going on 48 years. Sold more tickets than any other band, and their live stage design has been groundbreaking, altering all other artists live music performances since 1991

"New Year's Day" is a good U2 song with a harder rock beat. If you want emotional music, you can't go wrong with their album "The Unforgettable Fire" (referring to the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki). Some of their older stuff is bouncier, more dance club type music; some of it is harder, and some is very quiet and introspective. They have a very wide range. If all you've heard from them is 3 live songs, do not assume that U2 is not for you on just that basis. All 3 songs you mentioned having heard, these 2 and "With or Without You", are all from their 1986 album "The Joshua Tree."
@BoothTheGrey14 күн бұрын
Maybe I misunderstood you... but "All I want is you" is from "Rattle and Hum" and not from "Joshua Tree" - but definitely "The unforgettable Fire" is a great album. Actually most of their albums contain several great songs 🙂

I think «Bullet the blue sky» live from Sidney is some of the more heavy U2 - worth checking out. Not metal by anymeasure, but still one of the more heavy performances in their catalogue 😊
@anthonymotta826417 күн бұрын
The "harder" songs from U2 would probably be Vertigo, Sunday Bloody Sunday, Bullet The Blue Sky, Exit, God Part 2, Desire, Mysterious Ways, Even Better Than The Real Thing, Acrobat, The Fly, Mofo, Gone, Elevation, Crumbs From Your Table and Get On Your Boots. I didn't expect to suggest that many songs, but here it is lol. I guess they have even more "harder" songs than i expected. Thanks

I think one of the hardest songs they has is probably Bullet the Blue Sky from Joshua Tree. Exit is good too, but only if it's live. The studio is ok, but the live on Exit is outstanding. My favorite live for Exit is from Rattle and Hum.

When you get an iPhone, you're under Apple rules. So, when you buy an iPhone, you start a contract with Apple and by so, you've accept any music they want you to listen inside their store. It was a propaganda between Apple and U2 at the time. People just buy stuffs and don't pay attention on this details.

Back in the 80s, record companies had a lot of control. Contracts actually had a required number of ballads per album. The second song is more their general style. Not metal sorta hard rock, but in clubs, popular dance rock. BTW… Apple must have had a deal with U2 promoters about that song. It’s a freebie that came with Apple products. Record companies back then. All about $$$.
