Such passion.

Best cover of "One" ever

Sorry if this has already been posted (I haven't been checking this forum too much lately), but I figured this was something every U2 fan needed to see/hear at one point or another.

"One Bank"

Oh, if only Bono could still perform the song like this. He should start singing this version at concerts and special events.

covers are the devil...avoid them at all cost.

[hiphop]

No, I just don´t check what others post.

If you're referring to the multiple posts on the subject, the old thread wasn't on the front page and everyone doesn't have time to scour the forums for things like this.

If you're referring to the comments about the performance, I'd say that we're all just a little sarcastic.

Corporate America Steals U2's "One"

Apologies if this has already made the rounds here, but for better or worse, this has got to be seen to be believed. I couldn't decide whether to laugh or cry (ultimately, I find it to be one of the most cringe-worthy clips I've ever seen):

Okay this IS the next "Bush doing SBS".

 

[Sevikins]

LOL!
My sister showed it to me last night.
If I didn't hate Bank of America so much, I would've thought it was decent... but alas I do.

 

[LyricalDrug]

Almost peed my pants I laughed so hard.

"We'll make lots of money..."

 

[david]

Come on now. Ain't a snowball's chance in hell that U2 knew anything about this or authorized it.

Re: Best cover of "One" ever

Couldn't find this anywhere else but here's the live cover by David Cross and Johnny Marr during a Modest Mouse show... the BofA people are probably thrilled their message is being spread with such passion

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

this should be the B-side for Window in the Skies

do you like the Cowboys?
or universities?
do you like the yankees?
or is NASCAR more your speed?


brilliant!

[cydewaze]

sorry, I reposed this, but only after doing around 4 searches for different keywords. Guess I didn't pick the right ones!

 

[Techie2000]

You know, if the lyrics weren't butchered, that actually wasn't too bad...

 

[U2MaNaIcWeIdO]

This almost hate my dad's job (He now works for MB Financial since he went through a merger with Oak Brook Bank....where he "used" to work) sometimes. Never did like cover versions like this.....makes a good song seem so greedy
