The LEAST HORRIFIC U2 music videos
« on: January 09, 2020, 11:04:12 AM »
I don't think U2 are renown for their music videos. But which are your favorites, or your least cringey?

Eh, what the heck, nominate the worst too while we're at it.

BOOMCHA! I think Discotheque is the best AND the worst ever!

Actually,  I think the best is With Or Without You...with Morleigh dancing in the haze.
The worst...probably Stuck.

Director: Okay, Bono, it's a dance song, so... dance!

Director: On second thought luv, we'll let the belly dancer handle that, and we can use lens effects to add a "sense of movement" for your shots.

Director: Er... Bono can you stand? You'll fallen over twice already. Can yis just manage to stand up a bit?

For a band who have used some stunning visuals in live shows they have been pretty lousy when it comes to their videos.

Director: Edge, I need you to give me some poses while you shred this guitar.

Edge: <Stands there awkwardly trying in vain to make playing Infinite Guitar look cool>

Bono: I'll take a guitar too.

Director: But you don't play it.

Bono: I'll find something useful to do with it by the end of the video.

Director: Sigh. Fine. So, Bono, I want you to *smoulder*

Bono: Right-o, how's this?

Director: Maybe try standing next time?

Do I hand in my fan card at the front desk?

Because I've never heard of an AIWIY video. I don't see one on YT either.

Never heard of a TUF video.

Prolly saw Desire once, okay.

Never heard of an AOH video, though I found one that claims to be official.

The Even Bettrr than the real thing vidéo with the spinning camera was cool.

I liked Staring at the sun too, directed by Ridley Scott’s son or something ?

Most of the videos from the 90's and early 2000's were quite good. EBTTRT, MW, SATS, LNOE, BD, and even Discotheque were quite good. I also have a soft spot for the American cut of SIAMYCGOO. It's nice to see the band doing more humor and that one fits the bill nicely.

Numb I think is a home run. *Perfect*

Stay had some interesting ideas but didn't 100% come through imho. BTW who are the non-U2 peeps? Don't laugh at me, I don't see well. But who is the guy at the drum kit for example?
