link There's Queen footage around 3:03 I see it contains a few clips of U2 members being filmed at other bands' gigs...maybe one of the U2 peeps woz at Queen's Rainbow gig. :) |

I really like that song! :D |
| Raf 20.12.2006 17:06 |
Thanks, Bubu! If you look carefully, there are lots of bootleg videos of the first performance of this song, live in Japan. There's also a 10-min-long video from a TV show, with a "semi-live" performance of both Vertigo and Window in the Sky. :) |

U2 sucks |
| Mr.Jingles 21.12.2006 12:06 |
I wanted to buy this song from Itunes, but Bono and his greedy buddy Steve Jobs say I have to buy the entire U218 album in order to get the 3 new songs on it. FUCK EM'! I can't believe these douchebags have the nerve to ask for charity help towards Africa while ripping off the fans. I do believe that fans should support their artists by legally paying for their work, however it makes me sick when they want to cash in on the popularity of the band and make them pay for the same stuff twice. Can someone send me an mp3 of this song as well as 'Smile', and 'The Saints Are Coming'? my e-mail is: dan_aldana@yahoo.com |

You know how I feel! (Geeze it hurt watching Billy Idol do that part! I'd rather they invest in reanimation - or at least, just play a recording of Keith). |

Hahah, I liked what Roger Daltrey said about Gary Glitter when he found out he was a pedo. |

OMG i love u peeps but what a bunch of retard replies. This topic wasn't about whether you hate U2 or not. You have said so on several occassions. I just wanted to point out that Queen's included in their new video. |
| john bodega 22.12.2006 03:35 |
Boo frickety hoo, so you didn't get exactly 160 replies all saying 'nicely spotted'. Life does not have a script, you can't cry 'retard' when people don't say what you want them to. I actually liked the video somewhat, and I did concede that it was better than the usual dreck.... ain't that enough? Nicely spotted though. |

I like that song a lot. Very good video too. Very clever. The Queen footage lasted all of a second but hey it was there! |
| The Real Wizard 22.12.2006 12:04 |
The song's not bad, but the video is incredibly well done. Robert Plant once and John Bonham twice... awesome! |
| deleted user 22.12.2006 12:17 |
i think it's awesome..very clever!..how long do ya reckon it would take to find all the appropiate clips ..wicked song aswell..! funny, just when i finished playing it it came on the radio xD |

getting back to the original question...NOT a chance in helll they were all (at eldest) early teens back in 74...living in dublin...and there's just no way...in fact i would venture to say they never saw queen live until the 80s...when they were a band themsleves and in britian |

It's like I painted a painting with a variety of colors that each were significant to the work, and people just wanted to buy it in black and white because it's cheaper that way. |

U218 is actually a compilation of hits which the average U2 fan quite possibly owns already. This is the main reason why I was so pissed off at the fact that people would have to buy 15 songs they already have just to get the 3 new ones. Which makes it even more stupid is the fact that all the old hits can be downloaded individually, but not the new ones. |

iv noticed a very large pattern here,... this has been in the time iv spent at a U2 forum instead of here everyone, or nearly everyone on this board HATE bono, for the reasons from what i can see 1-they want to believe Freddie is the best and will remain the best (i know he is) 2-They think bono is trying to knock Freddie off the number 1 spotlight 3-they hate U2 becuase U2 is now the biggest band in the world my opinions:- 1-Bono does not think he is not the best singer in the world, he has admited at some point which i will dig up off the u2 forum, he has admited not being the best and freddie is number 1 2-U2 is now the biggest band in the world, sorry folks, but Queen WERE the biggest band, now they arent but are still the most favourite 3-Bono is not trying to take number 1 spotlight, he just wants to make music, tour with the band and make lots of people happy 4-he IS a charity worker, yes some things seem off about it but hes done a hell of a lot for Africa, more than any of you could ever do. So if i were you guys i would grow up over this bono hating business, he likes Queen as much as you do, proof? this last tour he snippeted We Will Rock You many many times during Sunday Bloody Sunday-Bullet The Blue Sky, to be blown away by the audience clapping there hands as if it were a Queen concert. To use some Queen footage in there latest video tells you something else Hes not trying to fight or be Queen, he is trying to show his appreciation for them, like he shows it for other bands, by snippeting some of the greatest songs into there own, everyone picks them up and loves it. iv made my point |
| deleted user 27.12.2006 04:46 |
and if anyone wants this song please leave your email and i will be happy to email it to you later on, just stop bitching how much you hate bono and u2 for the wrong reasons. |
| john bodega 27.12.2006 05:06 |
"iv made my point" Barely. You're illiterate. And your reasons for people 'hating' Bono are all wrong. U2 aren't the biggest band in the world, financially or in terms of good music.... that gong goes out to the Beatles. U2 only win the 'our members aren't dead yet' contest. Nobody here pokes fun at U2 because of insecurity or jealousy that U2 are taking over the world spotlight, because they *aren't*. Hell, half of The Who are getting more coverage where I am. And they haven't even been here. Nope; people only make fun of Bono because of the reaction that it gets out of U2 fans. It's remarkable that you play into it. The idea that I'd expend energy 'hating' Bono when I've never even met him... is preposterous! |

everything u2 recorded from 79 to 84 was classed as politically anal pop or PAP for short. everything u2 recorded from 84 92 was classed as commercially rententive anal pop or CRAP for short. everything u2 have recorded since is classed as shockingly horrible irritating twaddle or SHIT And before any dame bonio lovers start giving me grief on how good they are live..i have seen them live in the early 90s and there set was all gimmicks and tv sets and a waste of money and 2 hours of my life i wont get back. |

I went to see them during the Elevation tour and every penny was worth it. However, back when Bono was going through his Mecphisto phase U2 was a shit live act. I can't believe people actually paid money to watch Bono act like a complete dumbass on stage humping TV cameras and singing falsettos out of tune. |

"I can't believe people actually paid money to watch Bono act like a complete dumbass on stage humping TV cameras and singing falsettos out of tune." Well, it might seem strange - but shit, I won't knock it. If I could get paid for that, I'd do it. |

But yeah, they provide the best show, IMO. |
