 Era:
2000-2009
 

  1. There hasn't been much talk about this song. I think it's great and went to find out whether the song has been played live in full but see there is no link in the songs section. Any thoughts about the song? (A great song from a great film)
  2. cant believe it was beaten to an oscar by fuckin eminem.
    the worlds off its rocker!
  3. If you need links for the bootlegs where it's played:

    Of course. My favourite snippet of the Vertigo Tour just behind of Sgt Pepper Lonely Hearts Club Band...
  6. Performance from 2003 Oscars was perfect...

    Bono instead of singing:

    It's early fall, there's a cloud on the New York skyline
    Innocence, dragged across a yellow line

    sang:

    Early in the spring, yellow cloud on the desert skyline
    Some father's son, is it his or - is it mine?

    Did Eminem really won ? Cause i saw a part of the Oscars 2003 once and U2 performed a great version of Hands That Built America there and i think they won...

    Anyway, hands that built america is a great song, a lot of emotions, especially in the clip with all images of the film...
  10. yes Eminem did win. I don't really mind that much because that song that he won for is the only rap song I like. haha

    The Hands That Built America is an awesome song I love the music video version NOT the one from The Best Of 1990-2000 one I want the audio for the video but we cant upload it here can we since its official material?

    You are right. Most of the time I hate rap, but this one is good! He's the only rapper where I don't turn the radio off. He's better than much crap 'musicians' you hear all day long. But one song is enough
