Hey, great song. Great band. This song is about the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King. Bono is lead singer. Their songs are deep. Many decades of great music. Thank you!

That man is so badass he goes by one name. That man is Bono

Bono's hero since he was a young boy was MLK Jr. He wrote this for him. He is also a strong Christian. So you will hear his beliefs in many songs. They have never played Memphis because MLK was killed there. A great song is Bad. It is old but as fans we love it. Bono adds songs to it all the time.

Bono has incredible range and power to his voice. I always love people's reaction "that boy can sing!" U2 was basically untouchable from 1983-1988, did a complete reinvention and I mean COMPLETE during the 1990s, reinvented themselves again in 2000 and released major worldwide hits during 2000-2005. And were basically the best live act during all that time. So for 25 years, they were basically the pinnacle of their genre. Also, they were very much involved in addressing poverty in developing countries and were quite politically active without alienating one side against another. If you want to hear some other just fantastic songs by the group, look up I Still Haven't Found What I Am Looking For, The Fly, Mysterious Ways, Stuck In a Moment You Can't Get Out Of, Vertigo, Original of the Species, and Bad. They are in their 60s now and have slowed down a lot, especially with some health scares for Bono recently. They still put out good music, some that ranks with their best, but are not producing major international hits like they used too when they were young men. Time does that to most bands. They are easily my favorite artist.

What KILLS me, is that old ass U2 STILL holds up! Its fucking CRAZY! But FOR REAL... it still holds up because of Larry Mullen on the drums! The dude was DECADES ahead of his time! He knew what worked and made it his OWN!

This was them at the top of their game. Bono is the singer. Irish rock band that really showed the Ireland suffrage in the 80s. War and Joshua Tree are 2 great albums.

Not Liverpool; DUBLIN, Ireland. Band is comprised of Paul Hewson (Bono), David Evans (The Edge), Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullin Jr. They came together around 1975, and began recording commercially in 1978. Their first album "Boy" came out in 1980. They've been on a steady rise since then, and have gone through a number of transformations as they've reinvented themselves over the years. Much of their work is strongly influenced by the Bible, since they are Christians, and make no apologies for this. They also don't bang anyone over the head with it. Their music has a very spiritual, and thought provoking side that captivated me, and formed my own views of my own beliefs.

The first part Judas betrays Jesus with a kiss, then April 4, Memphis is the assassination of MLK. Love U2!!

No one gonna mention the stellar guitar work by the Edge, the bass and drums setting the stage for those vocals? Phenomenal song overall

Excellent choice dub! One of the most beautiful tributes to Dr Martin Luther King. Bono was a spokesperson for the culture and the time and is a beautiful person and philanthropist, in addition to being a talented musician and vocalist. 🙏 Always love you honest and genuine reactions. 💕

Bono was 24 years old when he recorded this. You and I wish we could sing like that, with that much passion, at our ages.

Sunday Bloody Sunday is anpther great pne with deep meaning 👌

Isn't it fun watching drummers who smash their kit around like it just stole their girl? Thanks for the intensity, Larry.

Hey buddy I lust wanted to stop by and tell you that I hope you are doing ok. I know it’s been a tough year for you and you should know a lot of us out here care and are feeling for you. Be strong buddy. We will be here when you are ready..✌️ and Happy New Year.

This is an Irish band. I thought I heard you mention Liverpool. I looked up where the footage was from at the end of the video. It said Dublin docks. Dublin is in Ireland and Liverpool is England. Great reaction. They are a great band.

Great Reaction Dub. I absolutely love this song. I always remember the third verse of this song. Early morning, April 4 shot rings out in the Memphis sky. Free at last, they could not take your Pride! I think it’s a great tribute to Martin Luther king Junior.Someone could take him from this earth but they definitely couldn’t take away his Dream or his Pride. The Joshua tree is a great Album and U2 is a great band. I also love their song from the same album(I still haven’t found what I’m looking for) . It’s really great having you back🤗👍❤️✌️🌼

Great song and tribute to Martin Luther King.

That last verse gets me every time... "Early morning, April 4 Shots ring out in the Memphis sky. Free at last, they took your life, They could not take your pride!" A direct reference to the morning MLKjr was assassinated. Bono is a lyrical genius... and a proud Irishman.

Bono has the best singing voice ever! So much power and emotion. He knows what he sings (writes all his lyrics) and he means it. This is about Martin Luther King.

“Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” Or… “ With Or Without You” Official Videos on both…LOVED your reaction! 👏

U2 IS ABSOLUTE PROOF OF GOD SHOWING OFF

Their iconic performance of "BAD" at Live Aid is a must-see as well: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ftxymrWEuNK6cnU.html

Proud to be half Irish. They’ll always be special to me because of that, plus they just adore America. I saw them here in TX the month after 9/11, when they projected all the names of the victims onto the walls and ceiling of the arena in a revolving light show while performing “One.” Everyone was crying. And then I was in attendance for their Under A Blood Red Sky performance in Denver at Red Rocks in 1983, quite by accident. That’s a whole ‘nother story, lol.

And this is U2 when they were teenagers. Check them out when they performed with B.B. King, their song When Love Comes To Town.

One of my favorite U2 songs, so emotional

my most favourite U2 song, from my fav album of theirs, "the unforgettable fire". the singer's name is bono (pronounced BAH-no) and yes, my god he has some pipes. little known fact: background vocals at the end (the "oh-oh-ohohohs) were brian eno (co-producer of the album, former member of roxy music) and chrissie hynde (from the pretenders). this was U2 at their finest, their live shows were LIFE CHANGING experiences. i cherish the memories, the youth, the energy, the feeling of anything is possible. thank you, U2.

One of my top 5 favorite concerts was their Zoo Tour at Mile High Stadium in Denver. Such a powerful experience.

You have to do U2 Until the End of the World its alot more of a rock song and it has an epic guitar solo

" early morning April 4, shot rings out in the Memphis sky....." gets me every time these guys incredible band 80's, 90's, 2000s ... .. man! How many bands have this longevity?

ClassIc U2!!

My favourite part of the video is Bono’s “mike throw”: Somehow cathartic; somehow genius.

The live version of "Where the Streets Have No Name" in Boston on their Elevation tour is pretty special.

You have hit the jackpot with U2 try With or Without you Still haven’t found what I’m looking for Bad Sunday Bloody Sunday Desire One Even better then the real thing Mysterious ways Beautiful day Vertigo

Check out "All I Want Is You/Where The Streets Have No Name" Live at Slane Castle and you will get the full U2 experience.

It's so nice to see you back at it. Yeah, Bono could sang. I think you would LOVE the live version of Bad at Live Aid. You must man.

One of my favourites from them is Every Breaking Wave, which is quite underrated because it's one of their newer songs and people only seem to rave about the 80's and 90's hits. The live versions are especially wonderful. Very thoughtful song, and whenever it's played live Bono's voice and The Edge's piano have a wonderful conversation going on.

Nice. Sunday, Bloody Sunday is a strong choice too.

Great reaction love U2

You got a good, chill vibe dude! Good Stuff!!!

With Or Without You is another great song of theirs. Soo many to choose!! Ha ha 😉💜

New Year's day U2...my favorite

SUBSCRIBED! What a great reaction…I love it

They took his life, but could not take his pride. What more can we ask someone to give than his life.... what more in the name of love?

U2 at their best, like this, was hard to beat. They sound deep even when the content isn't. It's plenty deep in this song and the impact is just amazing. New Years Day is their best song. Don't miss that one!

Great song

Happy New Year's 2022

Pride (In The Name Of Love) I can't believe there are still music lovers out there that have never heard this song, let alone other U2 songs, they have been around for 45 years! They are iconic, best band in the world!

U2 has some great stuff. A lot of interesting meaning/references in their music.

Newly subbed - love your reactions !!

Great song by them to check out is the song “Bad” - love that song!

We love U2 in Nigeria 🇳🇬

Irish band.. The lyric " April 4th shots ring out in a Memphis sky " is about MLK

Anthem 🙌 From their amazing album The Unforgettable Fire

Not sure about where you've been bro but praying all is well. Much love man

You need to react to a song called, Me and Mrs. Jones, sung by Billy Paul. Do the official version or the live performance on Soul Train. It’s a silky, smooth , really cool song and his biggest hit. The iconic Billy Paul.

Dub Zer0 this song was written in the Honour of Martin Luther king hence the line in the song if you listen back " Early morning April 4 shot rings out in a Memphis Sky they took you're life they could not take you're Pride " Bono the lead singer had to Apologize to MLKS Daughter for a slight error it should have been early evening April 4 but nevertheless it's a classic song from the best Band Ever the video was shot in 1984 in the Docklands surrounding the Dublin Port "

O bono é o cara😎🎶

The visuals and graphics are so much more impressive by the fact that at this time they had to record in secret in abandoned warehouses and closed out movie theatres because the masses would flock to wherever they were being rumored to be. To the point where recording had to be shut down because it was causing a public nuisance. (As seen in the video of "Where the Streets Have No Name") They literally made this masterpiece from what little they had to work with.

Great song! U2 was the greatest band of the 1980s.

Love the song. Great tribute to MLK. Another very interesting thing about U2 is they split their money equally. No money arguments has allowed them stay together over 40 years.

Love your rection, man! My favourite U2 song since I was 6! Masterpiece! Check out live versions, especially Amnesty International 1986. Check out I will follow studio and live, Mysterious ways, Miracle (of Joey Ramone), Like a song (only audio, unfortunately)... they have too many great songs!

Highly recommend “When love comes to town” it’s U2 with The Chairman of the Board himself B.B. King. BB told Bono he’s too young to be writing such heavy lyrics (specifically the ones BB sings in the song).

Jimi Hendrix Voodoo Child live at Woodstock 1969

Bono is classed as a tenor. One of the few singers with a 3 octave range.

Band: Hole. Song: Malibu. Where you at get back. Caught your fast food rants. That Pokémon debacle you handled admirably. 🍺

That power mullet

Hope you're doing okay, Dub. You've been gone for a while. I know you've got a life, and you lost your mom recently. Prayers for you, friend....

"One" is probably my favorite, but it's also a bit slower... just watched the music video for it, and Bono was kinda fly back in the 90s ngl

One tree hill, mothers of the dissappeared, running to stand still, where the streets have no name, but I still haven't found what I'm looking for, in God's country the duet he sang with Mary J Blige for the Hurricane Catrina relief "one" (she killed it btw)

That's chrissie hynes on the outtro..a bit of trivia.

Safe to say Bono has some pipes

Fun reaction ! sub'd :) I'm going to check out another 0f your reaction vid's now :)

This band experimented with many different sounds over their career. For a complete contrast, try something from their Achrung Baby, Zooropa or Pop album Era. Songs like The Fly, Stay (far away, so close) or Last Night on Earth are all good and quite different from this vibe. Cheers!

Lead Singer's name is Bono

Check out their set at Live Aid, 1985. Live version is even better.

I agree - I'd never expect to see/hear such a voice come from that young man, either! Pretty shocking but an awesome song nevertheless. Have a great evening my friend 😘

🎶🎶🎶💯💯

Hey Dub. Where you at? I hope everything is good with you.

do dig in deep u2 are unreal eclectic music

love this tribute song to MLK. I always wondered why the video didn't incorporate any MLK imagery (even if the message applies to much more than just MLK ). U2 dominated the 80's

Always enjoy your reactions man! Would love to see you check out Shy Away-livestream version by twenty one pilots

I miss Dub 🫡🥲

It’s Bono. The song is about The Dr. Reverend Martin Luther King. Beautiful.

It's amazing how many people didn't get the message of this song.
