I don’t have a great relationship with my dad and sadly I don’t wish it to be any different, but one great thing he did pass down to me in my younger years was his love for U2 which gave me my first sense of pride as an Irish girl. Watching this was almost cleansing, what a beautiful relationship you two have, and how awesome you get to share music both ways! Ofc most of us are usually here for your dad’s reactions since that’s the main channel setup, but I’d love to see more of these reverse videos, and “War” would be a fantastic watch. That’s the real rock n roll U2 🤘🤘💚
One little thing I wanted to add. One Tree Hill is dedicated to a roadie for U2 from New Zealand who passed away in motorcycle accident. Greg Carroll. One Tree Hill is a hill in Auckland NZ. Great reaction none the less to this classic album!
Just FYI (1) One Tree Hill is a town in New Zealand where Bono's roadie, Greg Carroll was from, who died in a motorcycle accident in Dublin in 1986 (the Joshua Tree album is dedicated to him). NOT some native American landscape thing. (2) Exit - I've been attending u2 gigs since 1987 and have yet to see this song as an exit from stage song. In fact, it was rarely played after the Joshua Tree tour in 1987 (see Robert John Bardo trial in 1989) and only made a re-appearance in 2017 as part of the JT 20th anniversary tour.
Only now discovered the reaction of Put You On and my School English leaves "chopped off" something open; maybe that's a good thing. For me: TJT is atmosheric, spiritual and musically and lyrically so diverse - a masterpiece. AB contains catchy shorter to the point radio songs on a high level, which I still don't want to miss. But the balancing act of such structured pop songs is dangerous and didn't work at all on POP. I love Gone (inspired by Pearl Jam) and the experimental MOFO, but Starring is "stolen" by Oasis and the rest not worth mentioning, even the srcod side a little boring. U2 didn't played live songs in the last 20 years and that says all. Later I can state good worthwhile 10-20 songs (Kite, Sometimes, Miracle Drug/so a profounded background, Breath, Break. Cedarwood, Wolves .... ), but no 2000th album has this musical and lyrical atmosheric intensitiy as Boy, War, TUF, TJT+AB. All the best to YOU and have fun with all kind of good music.
Loved this! Another switch-up would be to listen to an acclaimed album neither of you has listened to (even non-rap or non-rock albums). It would be interesting to see you both trying to analyze something for the first time.
Love this!! I'm 22 and I've gone to two different U2 concerts and my mum's been to even more. Got to see the Joshua Tree Tour a few years ago! I'll never give up that concert t-shirt. Such a good memory
I don't know the dad's name, but I *highly* recommend listening to Bono's new book "Surrender". Each chapter is a reference to song, a total of 40 songs. He gets quite vulnerable and humble.
From a time when Bono's vocal range was just incredible and his lyrics were just pure poetry on a level only ever reached by someone like Bob Dylan, U2 will go down musical history as one of the greatest ever, personally i think their albums Achtung Baby and All that you can't leave behind are right up there with The Joshua tree.
I think now that your dad has realized the music that you like is more expressive and honest than he realized….it seems like he has become more open with his personal life and feelings….it could just be that he’s more comfortable behind a camera but whatever it is it’s making the channel even better….keep up the good work both of you
“Morhers of the disappeared” is not what you think it is about. It was an ode to all those that vanished and were slaughtered by the Pinochet regime in Chile.
I loved this video. I have a huge connection with this album because of my mother. Driving across the wide expanse of Canadian provinces during summers away from school. This album will ALWAYS hold a special place in my heart.
I dont know if you take results but if you do I have a few recommendations :) You should react to one of Melanie Martinez's albums, either"Crybaby" or "K-12" You should also react to one of NF's albums, I recommend "The search" or "CLOUDS"
one tree hill is a trubie to there roadie greg carrol who they meet in new zealand on there zoo tv tour who join on tour became a part of tour after but die in motorbike they use only play it live in new zealand
I think U2 could have definitely aged more graciously, but this album stands up to time. I feel like their post 2000's albums sort of tarnished their public image. Also love how Kendrick featured Bono on Damn seeing how both have a well developed savior complex.
Completely disagree with the post 2000 comment. If anything they were more personal and at times more intimate, with the exception to no line on the horizon, than any point of their career. Ironically their public image were starting to get "tarnished" when Rattle and Hum came out.
People are always going on about Bono’s “Saviour complex”, but then it’s “All these damn celebrities wasting their money!!1” when he pours way more of his riches into charity and benefit work than any other celeb I know… This dude funds US air ambulances, and he’s doing way more work for impoverished countries than some governments
My generation didn't grow up listening to full albums, cover to cover. But this album, I just HAVE to listen to start to finish. It's perfect in every way.
My mom is a HUGE U2 fan. She’s met Bono and so have I bc she’s such a fan. But I saw the JT reunion tour at the rose whole with her in the front row and it was amazing! I’ve listened to this album sm bc of her but hearing it irl hits different
One. Tree. Hill. I mean, this album is LOADED with amazing stuff... but GOD I love that tune! And THANK YOU for renewing my appreciation for Running To Stand Still.
Not many know that U2 didn’t play Exit live from around 1991 to 2017. The reason was as follows - In the 1991 Murder case Bardo, a deranged 19 year old from Tucson, showed up at Schaeffer's apartment in Los Angeles on July 17, 1989 and shot her to death. He told a court-appointed psychiatrist that the U2 song, specifically the line, "The pistol weighed heavy," gave him motivation for the murder. As evidence, Bardo's defense attorney plays the song in the courtroom, making the case that his client is mentally incompetent. When the song plays, Bardo, who has shown no real emotion throughout the trial, suddenly becomes energized and sings along to the song.
I'm 29 , and U2 is the band I bonded with my dad over. It's now one of my favourite bands and I still cherish all those times my dad and me would be in the car just the two of us and he would try to teach me English using U2 songs..ahhh good times. Running to stand still is an underrated fav for me on this album!
I love U2 im so glad you guys are sharing this. This album was also one of my dads favorites and we would listen to it every morning on my way to work in the 90s when we was deployed when I was in college U2 and coldplay were all I listened to to be close to him.
One of the greatest albums of all time. Top 50 for sure. Achtung Baby is my choice for best they've done but Joshua Tree has a special feeling that is unmatched.
I love that you did this. It's great. But also I know that as an Irish American that if anyone talked over my first listen of the ending bit of Where the Streets Have No Name, I would have fucking knocked you into next week.
I'd recommend checking out Achtung Baby and Zooropa, those 2 albums (even Pop) are nothing like the rest of their work. It was definitely intentional on the bands part. Bono described The Fly (from Achtung Baby) as "four men chopping down The Joshua Tree". I consider 90s U2 an ideal decade for those who aren't too fond of U2's style.
Should definitely do this more often where your dad picks an album to listen to!
they should take turns, i think.
easily one of the greatest albums of all time, such a revolutionary band🙏
damn not even TTT did this yet lmaooo
As a 19 year old U2 fan since 2003, I LOVE this video I need more U2 album reacts!!!!!
me too

Oh wow that’s crazy
ua-cam.com/video/1uFjhMgH_2w/v-deo.html here is a link for the tribute to Greg Carroll
And the guy who created one tree hill the tv show , this was his favorite song , it’s played in the last scene in the last episode
Just FYI

Joshua Tree is my second favorite U2 album. Achtung Baby is their best and my favorite album of any band.
Love this Father Son analysis!!! Please do it with Achtung Baby... the album that chopped off the Joshua Tree...
Only now discovered the reaction of Put You On and my School English leaves "chopped off" something open; maybe that's a good thing. For me: TJT is atmosheric, spiritual and musically and lyrically so diverse - a masterpiece.

One of the greatest albums of all time. It’s just music that instantly grips you
Loved this! Another switch-up would be to listen to an acclaimed album neither of you has listened to (even non-rap or non-rock albums). It would be interesting to see you both trying to analyze something for the first time.
Great idea :)
Exit does have the crickets sound all the way through it.
Wow, I'd love a reaction to another U2 album! I'll let dad decide which one since he has great taste😉
Love this!! I'm 22 and I've gone to two different U2 concerts and my mum's been to even more. Got to see the Joshua Tree Tour a few years ago! I'll never give up that concert t-shirt. Such a good memory
The Joshua Tree is a great choice to introduce U2, but The Unforgettable Fire is their best album.
I don't know the dad's name, but I *highly* recommend listening to Bono's new book "Surrender". Each chapter is a reference to song, a total of 40 songs.
He gets quite vulnerable and humble.
Listening to it on Audible. Quite a life.
Everything i wanted + happier than ever album!
Please do achtung baby review next !!!!! PLEASE
You guys need to listen to U2 Achtung Baby
From a time when Bono's vocal range was just incredible and his lyrics were just pure poetry on a level only ever reached by someone like Bob Dylan, U2 will go down musical history as one of the greatest ever, personally i think their albums Achtung Baby and All that you can't leave behind are right up there with The Joshua tree.

❤nice compliment. Thank you.

you should listen to : young forever by Nessa Barrett
A note on Bono's shades, he wears them because he has glaucoma.
I dont know if you take results but if you do I have a few recommendations :)
You should react to one of Melanie Martinez's albums, either"Crybaby" or "K-12"
You should also react to one of NF's albums, I recommend "The search" or "CLOUDS"

Also love how Kendrick featured Bono on Damn seeing how both have a well developed savior complex.
They could have, but it's the Zeitgest of the present has changed our world into political correctness madness. They had no choice but to join it.

@@cosmicrays575 So many underrated songs after 2000. Kite is an absolute masterpiece, Every Breaking Wave, One Step Closer...
Incredible album to start off this new branch!
My generation didn't grow up listening to full albums, cover to cover. But this album, I just HAVE to listen to start to finish. It's perfect in every way.
I went to a u2 concert freshman year with my dad and they did the Joshua tree tour. Was a great show
My mom is a HUGE U2 fan. She’s met Bono and so have I bc she’s such a fan. But I saw the JT reunion tour at the rose whole with her in the front row and it was amazing! I’ve listened to this album sm bc of her but hearing it irl hits different
Always preferred War but Joshua Tree is still great
You guys should listen to more U2. Honestly more reactors need to react to U2, imo.
This album is so amazing! I had this album on repeat for a year when it came out.
Absolute legend! U2 Are my favorite band and are absolutely unmatchable live.
Guys, please could you react to The Smiths - Meat is Murder full album
Meat is Murder is the Smiths worst album. Still great yes, but their real greatness lies more in other albums.
Perfect reaction, thanks! Achtung Baby, please!!
One. Tree. Hill.
I mean, this album is LOADED with amazing stuff... but GOD I love that tune!
And THANK YOU for renewing my appreciation for Running To Stand Still.
love this video alot had me tearing up
❤️❤️❤️
Sunday bloody sunday is the best political song they ever wrote.

What. The hell. Wow that is creepy
Exit was last played in 1989 on the lovetown tour prior to the 2017 Joshua tree tour
I'm 29 , and U2 is the band I bonded with my dad over. It's now one of my favourite bands and I still cherish all those times my dad and me would be in the car just the two of us and he would try to teach me English using U2 songs..ahhh good times.

My dad's favorite band is U2!
This album too, picked up on cassette by IRA man (aka Tommy Lee Jones) in Blown Away. Great soundtrack.
Freakin classic 🙌
One Tree Hill is a tribute to their friend and crew member Gregg Caroll who died from a heroin overdose.
Greg Carroll died in a motorbike accident in Dublin while doing an errand for Bono.
You're mixing things up. Gregg died in an accident while bringing Bono's motorcycle home
I love U2 im so glad you guys are sharing this. This album was also one of my dads favorites and we would listen to it every morning on my way to work in the 90s when we was deployed when I was in college U2 and coldplay were all I listened to to be close to him.
One of the greatest albums of all time. Top 50 for sure. Achtung Baby is my choice for best they've done but Joshua Tree has a special feeling that is unmatched.
"Running" is autobiographical
Lets be serious
I Love Bono
But he's an addict
BTW: the best reaction video I've ever seen. The father son dynamic listening to a classic album is awesome.
I love this album, I also think you should bring back this son reacts format
Sad that this is one of the lowest views, people don’t appreciate older music. Do more of these
What an awesome reaction. Your dad should definetly check out The war on drugs - Lost in the dream. It has the same energy to a certain extent.
Interesting! Gonna listen to that. I recently discovered their song: under the pressure wich i absolutely love!
@@Josh77600 cool! You should definitely check out the album. Lots of amazing songs
I love that you did this. It's great. But also I know that as an Irish American that if anyone talked over my first listen of the ending bit of Where the Streets Have No Name, I would have fucking knocked you into next week.
😂😂😂
My favourite album of all time , it means so much to me!
And Mike, has to be their best album.
Red Hill Mining town is best song on album
I never got into this style of rock like Springsteen, The Who and U2. It's not bad but it's very dad.
Dad is cool!
😐😐😐😐
I'd recommend checking out Achtung Baby and Zooropa, those 2 albums (even Pop) are nothing like the rest of their work. It was definitely intentional on the bands part. Bono described The Fly (from Achtung Baby) as "four men chopping down The Joshua Tree".
I consider 90s U2 an ideal decade for those who aren't too fond of U2's style.
Ironically as someone who got U2 from their dad, I don’t see it, and I like my fair share of dad rock. U2 is more like, white people soul music
See them 6 time live. They are so good.
