U2 on MTV's 25 Greatest Video Stars

[flaming june]

U2 made it to # 21 on the list, but I missed it. I saw it when they were recapping.

If anyone wants to catch it, it will re-air tomorrow and Tuesday.

if only i had mtv...

 

[FallingStar]

Wow, cool!

 

[ILuvLarryMullen]

I saw it, it was cool! It has a lot of edge talking about their videos and a nice montage.

 

[IWasBored]

dammit.

 

[SkeeK]

As far as video quality relative to song quality, U2 doesn't rank all that high in my books. they have quite a few cool videos, and even some standout ones. but overal not alll that great. i sure hope the smashing pumpkins made the list

 

[flaming june]

I don't think SP made it... which is weird. I like their videos.

I think, although I agree that not all U2 videos are great, the ones that are have really stood the test of time and become classics.

 

[U2Kitten]

I don't have that channel Which videos were in the montage?

 

[WierdandGilly]

Tis true the smashing pumpkins do make interesting videos but i CANT BLOODY STAND THEM as artists. I must admit that I find Billy Corgan one of the most irritating artists out there in terms of smugness and 'oh i'm so bloody arty look at me and my egg head' but that's just me...sorry i just needed to go off there.

 

[flaming june]

^ My sister cannot stand them either... I've gotten over my dislike for Billy Corgan's voice because they have some really good songs. 1979 is one of my all time favorites.

[AdamsMango]

yay! i didnt think they'd be on there. i'll check it out, thanks for telling me!

 

[erised]

Cool, I'm glad they're replaying it cuz I missed it too.

*makes mental note to set timer for tomorrow...*

Was it new footage of Edge talking?!?

 

[flaming june]

Well, I didn't see the commentary... they did have new interviews of some of the other artists that made the list, so my guess is yes... I also hope I set my timer right!

[bono Q]

MTV Europe or America??????????????

 

[flaming june]

America.

 

[erised]

Daw!

I just saw this and Edge was soooo cute!

I loved his t-shirt, too!

 

[AdamsMango]

When i first heard U2 was on there i was suprised. I never thought of them as video stars. But when they said the criteria I was like, Ohe yes this is them! One of the criteria was "Re-inventing yourself in video." Think the Fly coming after Rattle and Hum! WHOA! they more then qualify then!

 

[Schmeg]

Totally fell asleep and woke up at #17...

 

[bayernfc]
