U2 Release The Miracle (of Joey Ramone) Video

(Radio.com) Despite having done the world's most talked (and griped) about album promotion - and later sort of apologizing for it - U2 haven't quit. Today brings the release of the video for "The Miracle (of Joey Ramone)."

It's a glitchy, lo-fi visual where the band casually plays the song - a big contrast from their futuristic way of dropping their new album, Songs of Innocence, onto everyone's iClouds. But that's likely what they wanted to go for, especially in the light of backlash.

It makes sense too, considering U2 still consider themselves to be punk, that they'd go with a more homemade feeling video for a song that honors the late Ramone. During their first interview after the album's release, Bono told CBS Radio's KROQ that "The punk rock thing to do is annoy people and get in their faces."
