The scene: A high-school gymnasium, teaming with angsted, hormonal teens waiting for the band to signal rebellion. (Assembly cheered on by nubile cheerleaders wearing Anarchy symbols.) Cue smoke machine... U2 come on with a deft four-chord progression, step on the distortion pedals, and all hell breaks loose. Most curious "U2-look" change: Larry has long hair, and has dyed it black.
Ok, ok...maybe that's been done. But i hear "grunge" fashion is making an ironic comeback...
I agree with mofo82...one of the best videos of the last decade was "Let Forever Be" by the Chemical Brothers (Juno Reactor's "God is God" a close second!). Also one of the best videos ever was Radiohead's "Pyramid Song"...very touching...very human without any actual humans...all just computer animation.
