Masterpiece! Underrated song! One of my favourite! Who agree?

[@rossokeefe9268]

Totally

[@planeandsimplexplained]

Love it

[@chrisattwood7814]

Absolutely

[@davidkennedy7534]

I agree

[@krunk813]

they've got many great tunes but this is my favorite ❤

[@alsaldana696]

The Joshua tree and Rattle and hum Era of U2 was Fucking epic!

[@christianmassa4707]

That is my favorite u2 album.

[@mixhaelamikovich]

Too me after achtung baby it went downhill, this was epic

[@chrisattwood7814]

In a league of their own and always have been

[@GuilleFunes_]

"The sky is ripped open, and the rain pours through a gaping wound...pelting the women and children", I live in San Salvador and I agree with this.

[@DavidMcDermott-lg5yo]

I'm from county Tyrone Strabane and had to deal with our occupation for over 900 years. Time to give us freedom.

[@richardblaszak162]

The specific way The Edge set the guitar/amp sound with digital delay, reverb, and chorus along with his usage of the slide proves he is the greatest special effects master of the past 35+ years!!! Incredible song!!!

[@modernmilner9836]

He’s a guitar giant.

[@diegocaballeroadillo38]

Totalmente de acuerdo....

[@vettemuziekjes]

I think i see something about the edge having a 6 gigawatt amp. 😲 something like a small town needs for power.

[@robramsay6408]

Yes crazy wow just mind blowing

[@happypapi1903]

@@vettemuziekjes He usually plays thru multiple Vox AC30s.

[@aphextwin6]

The ultimate highpoint of U2

[@davidrogers2493]

Easily one of their most underrated and does NOT and DID NOT get enough play on the radio.

[@subwaygoddess1]

Agreed!!

[@davidroldan8998]

so difficult for them to create a better song...

[@gotikka7727]

You're sooo right. 😎

[@LightmyWay23]

Well it wasn’t released as a single, so yeah.

[@KCJbomberFTW]

Easily one of the greatest musical compositions of the 1980s

[@JustAThought155]

This version is the only performance of this powerful song that encapsulates EXACTLY how I see this song in my mind, coloring included.

[@victorphillips9004]

Well put

[@christianevangelista]

This song is just as relevant today as it was 30 years ago. This song is so badass, the guitars, bass, drums, and lyrics are a work of art. Probably my favorite U2 song.

[@davidrogers2493]

Exactly, and they did rework some background video during their recent tour to do that.

[@Gfin2Toi]

Amazing song, amazing The Edge!

[@hunam3876]

Probably my favorite U2 song... same about 80% of U2 songs......

[@GillStudiosSafety]

It's probably more relevant today than ever!

[@ride1973]

what do you think about this Song is about?

[@grilledspaghetti]

The Edge was so on point in this performance. So underrated as an artist.

[@modernmilner9836]

The Edge was on fire here. Jesus!

[@davidresch390]

“Even his mother calls him THE EDGE!” - Bono

[@bentonja668]

A rare example of the live version eclipsing the studio version.

[@TomDuffy-Productions]

i love/prefer alot of U2's songs live then from the album

[@tracieh215]

30 yrs later and this song still gives me chills.

[@kenbyrd3456]

Me too

[@robertbrenneman5367]

I was there, when the flag came up, Jimi Hendrix’s Star Spangled Banner was playing. Both nights, I was at both shows!! BB King and his band opened, epic!

[@stephenborregard756]

Yep. There to..rain and cold

[@arhuxtable]

You were there,at the Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe,Arizona on 12/20/1987?

[@flyingkillerrobots877]

This concert (I was at the Denver show - the black and white portions of the film shot at McNichols Arena) STILL ranks as one of the best shows (after thousands) I've ever seen.

[@SpadaFer]

Fuuuuuuuuck Im So jealous I wass Like One Year Old hahahahah but I have to say I saw this film when I wass like 5 And I never FORGET IT ........ I started to learn english because this songs and now im 34 and this is so relevant right now.

[@luislizard2626]

I’ve watched you in the crowd at list 1000 times this movie came out in 89 in Italy’s theatres the audience went bunkers was sold out every nights I’ve got it on video tape Not a U2 fan anymore though,,,,

[@BaronM]

I miss angry Bono.

[@TheFly212]

Yep.

[@brinsonharris9816]

Yeah, it’s hard to pull off the angry young man thing when you’re worth half a billion dollars, own multiple homes and think nothing of hiring a private jet to fly your favorite shit kicker hat out to you. They were at the high water mark here, though, no doubt.

[@jimmyswansonjr.5466]

Baron Moritani,...just wait for it.....He will be out there like Jagger,and angry again one day!!!!

[@SamStuart07]

Bono sold his soul soon after this album. U2 lost it's political/social edge in the 90's.

[@ride1973]

I`m still angry!

[@RandyR]

I love the fact that U2 are political. They are more aware of what is going on than most politicians ✌🤞 This was filmed here in Tempe. I was on the outside enjoying the event. A spiritual experience

[@RRL110]

I was living in Tempe also back in 87 if I remember right. Also I remember in the news at the time some kid had painted his parents garage door with the picture of them that was on the Joshua Tree Album.

[@BenJohnston21]

I like how the crowd erupts when The Edge starts that guitar slide.

[@frederickchniel3259]

I was there this night. It was awesome!

[@robertbrenneman5367]

It was glorious. After BB King, Hendrix’s Star Bangle Banner, then this. I was there both nights.

[@lindahuff8976]

Out of the hundreds of concerts I saw in the 70's and 80's, seeing U2 live was the best. This song never got the airplay it deserved.

[@ceciayala1703]

Larry Mullen, one of my personal favorite drummers of all time! Nothing but love and respect for this genius!

[@brinsonharris9816]

Founder of the band. He was the one who posted the looking for musicians to start a rock band note on the bulletin board at their school. There’s a bootleg of the McNichols Arena (Denver) show where they shot the B&W footage from R&H where they start playing Spanish Eyes, and Larry stops and says “Let’s start that again.” They do, and once they get rolling, Bono says “That’s Larry Mullen, Jr. there. He’s the leader of the pack!” One record co trying to sign them wanted them to replace Larry and the rest of the band turned them down flat. Tells you what his band mates think of Larry. Most musicians on the brink of getting signed would say “Sorry, Larry-you understand, right?”

[@brinsonharris9816]

Saw these guys 12/5/87 and the show rocked from beginning to end, but the coolest part of BTBS is the spotlight bit at about 4:00-4:14. In the stadium, it seemed to “throw” the guitar sound where Bono was pointing it. I was tripping balls and it blew me away, and if you watch R&H in stereo, you can get a sense of it, so it wasn’t just my acid warped perception.

[@swordmonkey6635]

I saw them in SF during their first leg of The Joshua Tree tour. Amazing live. Watching the cable wrangler having to follow Bono around as he performed because his mic wasn't wireless was great. lol

[@RickyPisano]

Saw them at Foxboro Stadium for the Zoo Station tour. EPIC!!

[@KimPhilby203]

"For the God I believe in isn't short of cash mister!" Great line & Awesome performance. Especially by the Edge. His guitar playing on this one was brilliant.

[@Astrostevo]

Seconded. I so love that line. Spot on. Truth.

[@zacharyweeksthedorkofyouth2707]

Miltos G Wow. Someone needs to grow up

[@miltosg8230]

and someone needs to wake up mr....

[@zacharyweeksthedorkofyouth2707]

Miltos G I am very awake. Ya know Bono is one of the biggest Christian supporters alive. And 10 million people are alive today in Africa solely because of his One Foundation. He hasn't sold anything man.

[@zacharyweeksthedorkofyouth2707]

John6yt Your opinion. But millions are deeply invested in their faith all over the world. It'd be great of we didn't have idiots like Milto thinking that one of the greatest bands ever sold their soul, and itd be great if you could respect others faith. To you it's a fairytale, to others it's their way of life. All due respect my guy. Agree to disagree I guess. Let's just say it's a great performance by a great band?

[@beinghuman7537]

Lyrics: In the howling wind comes a stinging rain See it driving nails Into the souls on the tree of pain From the firefly, a red orange glow See the face of fear Running scared in the valley below Bullet the blue sky Bullet the blue sky Bullet the blue Bullet the blue In the locust wind comes a rattle and hum Jacob wrestled the angel And the angel was overcome You plant a demon seed You raise a flower of fire See them burning crosses See the flames higher and higher Bullet the blue sky Bullet the blue sky Bullet the blue Bullet the blue This guy comes up to me His face red like a rose in a thorn bush Like all the colors of a royal flush And he's peeling off those dollar bills Slapping them down One hundred, two hundred And I can see those fighter planes And I can see those fighter planes Across the mud huts where the children sleep Through the alleys of a quiet city street You take the staircase to the first floor Turn the key and slowly unlock the door As a man breathes into a saxophone And through the walls you hear the city groan Outside is America Outside is America, America Across the field you see the sky ripped open See the rain through a gaping wound Pounding on the women and children Who run Into the arms Of America

[@mysticedge4]

Thanks but I think everyone that’s watched this video doesn’t need the lyrics! We’re here for a reason and that reason is BADASS U2!!!!

[@vagnerazevedo2014]

Essa música do U2 é sensacional. Esse solo de guitarra do Edge é um fenômeno. Saudações do Brasil.

[@windel12002]

I love this album....and Bullet the Blue Sky LIVE first heard on a High End stereo system sounded like nothing I had ever heard before....Guitar solo came to life, hairs on my arms stood up, and the brilliant words......CLASSIC! One of my All Time Favorites!

"The God I believe in isn't short of cash, mister!"

[@markhawkins3540]

I was fortunate enough to see them live 5 times between '82 and '92- culminating with being in the third row at the Old Mile High Stadium on Achtung Baby Tour!!! Incredible memories and love this song to death...

[@MikeRochac]

This was peak U2

[@game.different]

I might be reading too much into it, but I wonder if the spotlight bit was Bono's way of telling the American audience, "Hey the spotlight's on you. Maybe you need to take a look at yourselves, and what your gov't is doing..."

[@brianstolt3141]

This is one of their best songs. Freaking awesome!!!

[@islandsidetv]

adam clayton you fucking genius with that baseline

[@seanmcloughlin3454]

the edge you fucking genius with that lead guitar lmj you fucking genius with those drums

[@renorailfanning5465]

I saw a video of this bassline and even though it is technically simple, the phrasing and timing is very unique and not something anybody else would probably come up with.

[@unicornsandrainbowsandchic2336]

Todd Peterson check out PIL's "banging the door" on KZbin. I love Adam but check that song out.

[@TheKonga88]

Lee McCorquodale Korky the Kat wrote that bassline in 1968 🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

[@TP42411]

​​​@@renorailfanning5465his is Adam " as Bono one said once. He ment that Adam came up with this baseline that became 'Bullet ' More to the story is that Adam and Edge are actually very much apart from each other one this song, they are not synchronized with their instrumentes. It shouldn't work ,but it does. Antoher example on how much u2 managed to make music as a band, considering that in the early days they were a band before the learned to play. Btw, I read somewhere that on the Zoo tv tour, Adam had a very "heavy foot" on his bass ,that on the italian shows his bass was actually picked up on the Richters scale

[@philipkane9393]

This is still my favorite version of this great song.

[@downtownaustin3690]

I just got the chills listening to that.

[@johnchoi4325]

The God I believe in isn't short on cash mister! And the look on Adam Clayton's face towards the end. Priceless.

Brilliant song! Gives me goose bumps every time I listen to it ... especially this version.

[@U2met86]

[@angelawessels6570]

[@tomterrif8503]

His 'Machine Gun' was probably the inspiration for 'Bullet'

Seen these live twice, amazing band, loved them since I was 15yrs old. Still great today as they was back then.

[@kellyboon8458]

"Outside is AMERICA!!!"

[@mtrich8113]

This song and REM's orange crush reign Supreme.

[@stevejurado8069]

This song rocks ,From the opening of the drums then bass to guitar and then vocals ... With lyrics that actually have meaning ...strait up power house song ... I just love how there drummer pounds his snare drum and he crashes his cymbals with pure aggression.. but most of all the edges haunting guitar solo is makes the song stick ... One of my top ten favorites of all time...

[@ST1973]

30 years ago still rocks !!!

[@Ninjacatprincess]

the most amazing thing about U2 is their ability to totally rock AND have a socially conscious message!

[@rygdoomed442]

Their best song, even people who don’t like u2 like this one song

[@jbarretthare]

"I was angry with what I saw as the bullying of peasant farmers by big aeroplanes supported by American foreign policy and dollars. In Nicaragua, seventeen families ran the country before the revolution; all of the wealth was in the hands of those seventeen families. In Salvador it had been similar. In Chile, a democratic choice had been overthrown by a CIA-backed coupe to impose a killing machine called General Pinochet. There was a lot to despise about America back then, there was shameful conduct int he defence of their self-interest... They were bad times. I had described what I had been through, what I had seen, some of the stories of people I had met, and I said to Edge: 'Could you put that through your amplifier?'" - Bono, U2 By U2 2006

[@frankreedy8753]

Lot to despise about America now, too. We do worse now.
