The fact that this song is about one of the first school shootings, and by a girl, which is particularly rare, makes this song really important to me, so that we don't forget the long, tragic history of school shootings, and the often meaningless reasons for which these heinous acts are committed. "I don't like Mondays." Can there be any more meaningless reason for shooting up a school yard and killing people randomly. And yet we continue to live through these horrors regularly, because we haven't learned the lesson.
I was 19 when I heard about crazy school shooting and here we are 44 years later still horrified by another pointless tragedy to start the week. Why?? A great song though.
This is that song that makes you want to just sing your heart out of sadness, frustrations, disappointments, and anger towards yourself and the people around you for being unfair, unjust, irrational, and merciless. Yet, it's downstraight candid, frank, and poetic.

Man this was the song I loved from one wild night.. between this and Saturday night.. bob geldof and bon Jovi just go so well together.. I like it better than the boomtown original
I was here! It was an amazing surprise, my friends and I couldn't believe it, I don't know if it sounded better or worse than 1995, it was super amazing, the only regret is that he didnt sing Always in this concert... The rest was top
Bob may have always been known for this one song...BUT, to this day...there's still yet another musician who's able to pull off what he did with Live Aid.
THINKING OF my second year housemate at 956 Richmond Street, London, Ontario pretty much every time I hear or see Bon Jovi - Kim from Sudbury, Ontario! 😀
Except for the people who were killed and injured at the school by the girl who gave the answer as to why she did it... She didn't like Mondays....kind of depressing.
This made my whole body vibrate while singing loudly and pissing off neighbors lol. 2 fucking awesome legends singing a legendary song..wow man that's amazing 👏🙌
I literally just figured out what the song is about because someone said it in the comments of another video and it’s so sad. It changes the whole song.
Did they also mention why it was written? It seems like it's about Brenda Spencer's answer to the question, but it's quite opposite. He wrote the song for the question. Bob was inspired because he thought the person asking her why, was asking a ridiculous question. The theme of the song is that there are no reasons for pulling off such a horrific act. There's no justification, so any answer that gets returned won't help anyone understand.
@@mgordon1100 Wow, I wasn’t aware that was why. It really is a tragic and deep song. He couldn’t have been more correct when he wrote this song. I just hope maybe one day people will think more. The people doing it, on the receiving end, and even bullies or instigators. The recent tragedy in Uvalde reminded me of this song. Once again we all wonder why but, as Bob said, no answer is adequate or reasonable.
2024 and only just seen this Imagine being that much of a star that jon bon jovi plays back up singer to you. My parents were rat fans and i remember playing vinyls as a kid. Wasnt until i was an adult that my partner explained what the song was about. Geldof is the man, nothing will ever surpass what he did with live aid
Eu não acredito que estou vendo ess e show! Lembro de quando comprei esse CD e ouvia essa faixa bônus, me emocionava. Hoje, quase trinta ano depois, ainda me emociono. ❤❤❤❤
A lot of people don't like Sunday nights and Mondays . Because it resembles the end of the weekend. Even if they like there jobs like i do as a teacher . Sunday night Mondays are definitely not the best for me for that reason. I think a lot of people feel this way for the same reason and the song is Awsome very good song even though the story is very sad and scary especially for the reason why she did which I said a lot of people tend to feel like she does about the situation she said she had.
videos from this tour make me sad and i really wonder how it got so much worse...i was so proud for the way jon's voice was aging until 2011 and now he is really strugling and its obvious...i still love the band which makes it even harder.

This was about a girl who killed & injured a lot of people & kids outside a school in Clevland ! True story she said she did it cus she dont like Monday's & wanted to make it interesting
Em pensar que a história dessa musica foi justamente por um ataque a uma escola nos Estados unidos, por uma garota ao se entregar, disse que fez isso pq odiava as segundas-feiras.... Emplacou em vários países, mas foi proibida de ser lançada nos Estados Unidos . Mas não deixa de ser uma canção maravilhosa. Com esses dois juntos então, ficou perfeita
@monalisahughes2947, Oh no sweetheart! They are gonna shoot your husband! Remember him and I in the red house late one night! When you knocking in 1970's! Tell your friends I said hi! My name is Lewis Robert Burton Jr!
It’s 2024 and Bon Jovi is still “Legendary”. A great song sung by two legends.
Três com o richie... Tomara que ele volte logo 😢
Ah, I see what you did there😂
Lyrically one of the best post punk era songs,Just brilliant…

I'll always remember that pause in the song at live aid....goosebumps.
I was 19 when I heard about crazy school shooting and here we are 44 years later still horrified by another pointless tragedy to start the week. Why?? A great song though.
I don’t like Mondays was the reason that the school shooter gave for her actions.
And there was an almost exact repeat today. 😢
This is that song that makes you want to just sing your heart out of sadness, frustrations, disappointments, and anger towards yourself and the people around you for being unfair, unjust, irrational, and merciless. Yet, it's downstraight candid, frank, and poetic.
It's a true story as well. 😢 She's in her sixties now and still in prison.
Yes, it needs to be brutal to get the point across.

Yeah no as not everyone around us are like that
@user-ms8kp3ml8x good she deserves it
I watched every minute of Live Aid while it was broadcasted live. Bob Geldof is the most loving, selfless human!

Bon Jovi saying, "That's a legend right there!" Maybe two legends.......
Pp
Definitely 2 legends
And the year is wrong, was un 1995
Nope
True😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Man this was the song I loved from one wild night.. between this and Saturday night.. bob geldof and bon Jovi just go so well together.. I like it better than the boomtown original
I love Bob Geldof accent when he sings this song. It's very unique and express the depress feeling
Two legends on stage! What a surprise at show #10!! That was a really big and great moment in my life!! ❤️ I'll never forget ❤️🔥
God Bless Mr. Bob Geldof
They come from a time in history that will never be match thank you both 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Absolutely
Check out The Boom Town Rats back catalogue , looking after number 1 , Rat Trap, ect ect class act loved the Rats since 1976
@@matthewstevenson3002 I agree, I also liked the Boomtown Rats.
CORRECT not even in the same league sorry just isnt.
Rat Trap
A man with a great voice and a good heart, i love Bob Geldof forever! ❤️
Great heart but a great voice?
@@JB-zd8gv there's no reason to have a great voice but the soul, love and energy at performance.
@@hugopazmino6342 soul does not exist
@@JB-zd8gv ok, for that reason people like you don't understand the real meaning of Music
@@hugopazmino6342 are you claiming souls exists?
Still one of the best pop songs of all time.
Peter. You are totally all right. B. JoVi anf Bob together - WONDERFULLLLLLLLLLL.
Sadly for all the wrong reasons
On the edge of Pop - New Wave / Alternative 80s
They look like they have fun, like brothers. Super cute.💝
THINKING OF my second year housemate at 956 Richmond Street, London, Ontario pretty much every time I hear or see Bon Jovi - Kim from Sudbury, Ontario! 😀
This is a stunning performance!
Two total legends Jon bon Jovi and Sir Bob Geldof fkn love Bob his love for the world and the people make him a legend
Sir Bob Geldof and Jon Bon Jovi, awesome duet. Bravo !
I was there... In the beginning... Now, it breaks my heart. I was there... In 1985.
Very beautiful song and duo👍I’m listening him in 1996 France( Taratata 💥) no change, always wonderful 🔥
My 2 favourite guys in the music world - wish I had been there
Loved Bob since I first saw the Wall at age 10. Big Floyd family.
The original song about school shootings. My dad used to jam this tune all the time on the one wild night cd 💿
I have met Sir Bob Geldof a very interesting man.
One of the greatest
Sir Geldof got his start, working in my hometown city of Vancouver, BC writing for the "Georgia Straight", a news & entertainment weekly.🌺💓🍁
Info appreciated.
In our home town??. Even though he is from the other side of the pond How??
Fabulous video and song, what a magnificent duo and awesome performance
Except for the people who were killed and injured at the school by the girl who gave the answer as to why she did it... She didn't like Mondays....kind of depressing.
great video......Jon Bon Jovi.....respecting the past songs is legendary
Sounds quite close to the 1995 performance. Just goes to show how great this band still was in 2010!
hAnD90 sounds much identical to 1996 performance IMO.
And still great in 2020!!
Same like 1985 live aid
@@ianhorsley5842 not a lot

Wow....Awesome Performance with Bon Jovi...Amazing, I love This Song and Bon Jovi Verse
Two musical legends
Hard to believe 13 years already passed..What a great event it was👍😍
Jon interpreta Geldolf in modo fantastico. Jon UNICO
Thought John Bon Jovi was a good guy but I love him even more after seeing this video.
Most definitely a legendary performance.
Valeskis and Gelis favys together - may U 2 beauties hear this in Heaven 💕
Thank tou so much, Bob and Jon!!!
Спасибо!!!!
The 'These Days' record for me meant having a Boomtown Rats' cover on it called 'I don't like mondays' on the bonus disc.
Almost, well technically, 10 years, incredible performance
A great song despite a few tuning issues for Sir Bob.
Great performances guys hugs my friends
Bob Geldof, you are the best, always
This song is a Miracle.....a Musical and Emotional Miracle.....Chapeu a Sir Bob
Geldof.......❤🚶🚶🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃
2024 and only just seen this
Imagine being that much of a star that jon bon jovi plays back up singer to you.
My parents were rat fans and i remember playing vinyls as a kid. Wasnt until i was an adult that my partner explained what the song was about.
Geldof is the man, nothing will ever surpass what he did with live aid
Fabuloso duo musical en una canción única. ¡Bravo Bob Geldof y Bon Jovi!! Thank you for the video!!
I always think of that song on mondays
I remember this cause her name was Brenda same as mine x
maravilhosos!!! E a música é demaissss!
Eu não acredito que estou vendo ess e show! Lembro de quando comprei esse CD e ouvia essa faixa bônus, me emocionava. Hoje, quase trinta ano depois, ainda me emociono. ❤❤❤❤
Jon Bon is oblivious that this is a song you don't smile during - despite how kind Sir Bob is to him. Stick to bubble gum rock Jon.
Bubble gum rock? I'm sure JBJ knows what the song is about, it's about a cat named Garfield 😂
I don't like Mondays, but today is my birthday!!!💥💥💥
Che due fenomeni !!!! Due artisti insuperabili, unici!!
He has a very strong English accent, I love it💖
He is Irish
he's actually irish😅🤐
Absolutely brilliant
2 Legends I love that I listen life 👂 I self whit my mother 2006 Zurich Schweiz 🇨🇭
Love love love this!
It wasn't a surprise to me it just finally made sense, you could hear them rehearsing it Friday and Saturday in the queue
3:44 Sir Bob thinking he needs to give a cue to David Freakin Bryan lol
JB has def a voice that is one of a kind.
This is not a happy song but JB thinks smiling is OK. Wrong.
Nem sei qual amo mais .... lindos e a canção fala por si.

And Richie, there's that tiny detail.
We all get older. Even rock stars
It'll be cool to make an audio mix between both performances (1995 Vs. 2010).
The silicon chip inside her head
Gets switched to overload
And nobody's gonna go to school today
She's going to make them stay at home
And daddy doesn't understand it
He always said she was as good as gold
And he can see no reason
'Cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need to be sure
Oh, oh, oh tell me why
I don't like Mondays
Tell me why
I don't like Mondays
Tell me why
I don't like Mondays
I want to shoot
The whole day down
The Telex machine is kept so clean
As it types to a waiting world
And mother feels so shocked
Father's world is rocked
And their thoughts turn to their own little girl
Sweet sixteen ain't that peachy keen
Now, it ain't so neat to admit defeat
They can see no reasons
'Cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need oh, woah
Tell me why
I don't like Mondays
Tell me why
I don't like Mondays
Tell me why
I don't like Mondays
I want to shoot
The whole day down
Down, down
Shoot it all down
All the playing's stopped in the playground now
She wants to play with her toys a while
And school's out early and soon we'll be learning
And the lesson today is how to die
And then the bullhorn crackles
And the captain tackles
With the problems and the how's and why's
And he can see no reasons
'Cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need to die, die
Oh, oh, oh and the silicon chip inside her head
Gets switched to overload
And nobody's gonna go to school today
She's going to make them stay at home
And daddy doesn't understand it
He always said she was as good as gold
And he can see no reason
'Cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need to be sure
Tell me why
I don't like Mondays
Tell me why
I don't like Mondays

I don't like, I don't like, I don't like Mondays
Tell me why
I don't like, I don't like, (tell me why) I don't like Mondays
Tell me why
