Well f**k the begrudgers

[financeguy]

This has probably been posted before, but I was confidently assured by posters on here previously that the video made for Red Hill Mining Town did not exist, was a chimera, a fantasy that only existed in the mind of Neil Jordan , or that it did once exist but had been destroyed, etc.

Well well well what have we here:-

Apologies if this is old news to most people here, but I haven't been keeping very up to date.

[Mrs. Garrison]

shame on you financeguy.

 

[redhotswami]

this means you didn't buy reJT did you?
this was fun to revisit.
shouting "hanging on" while hanging on chains is genius.

 

[financeguy]

shame on you financeguy.

I hope Bono's ok.

It really is a godawful video

 

[bonocomet]

It did inspire an amazing amount of new avi's here that first few days though.

 

[corianderstem]

Damn it, you guys! You were supposed to keep this a secret from financeguy!

 

[No spoken words]

Is any of this conf.....I'm leaving, sorry.

 

[Canadiens1131]

The video was promptly wheeled back into the U2 vault three days after its release.

 

[Zoots]

It really is a godawful video

Adam and Edge releasing those birds with that serious look on their faces always cracks me up!

 

[An Cat Gav]

It's still better than the US version of Stuck....

 

[luna_lovegood]

I think my favourite part is Larry banging the hammer into the wall in slow motion.

I think my favourite part is Larry banging the hammer into the wall in slow motion.

And let's not forget him sweeping his forehead, poor thing, working himself into such a sweat

 

[The Sad Punk]

You know, it wasn't actually as bad as I had hoped.

 

[Bonochick]

You know, it wasn't actually as bad as I had hoped.

I know, the badness was overhyped, it could never have been truly bad enough to live up to my expectations.

Still great though.

Hey financeguy, bet your looking forward to All That You Cant Leave Behind

 

[Rosebud]

Whenever I hear the expression "canary in a coal mine" I always think of that shot in the video and just


But your right Gav, Stuck was waaaaay more aweful - especially because it wasn't in the 80s and thus they have no excuse for it's awefulness.

[LemonMelon]

I like how they force Larry to just stand there and hit that pole through the entire video. The crew probably left him behind to go shoot the canary scene.

 

[U2girl]

Good thing they didn't use that video then.

 

[Mrs. Garrison]

I hope Bono's ok.

he's probably too high to care

HaHa - I heard that just today and I swear!! I thought of this video.
