10 Biggest WTF Moments In '90s Rock Music

10. U2’s Numb Video

Irish rock giants U2 don't seem like the artsy types.

They're usually fairly by the books, churning out massive radio-friendly tunes with chunky guitar chords and Bono crowing about peace and love.

So imagine how surprised everyone was when this bizarre thing came along.

Numb, the lead single from the group's 1993 album Zooropa, got a music video that same year. And what a video is was.

The song is already pretty strange, as it's guitarist The Edge providing lead vocals instead of Bono. He's also the focal point of the video, which sees him staring directly down the camera as some truly random stuff happens to him.

Some women turn up and lick him. A child arrives just to poke him in the face. He gets prodded by some mysterious people's feet. Then the rest of the band get involved, tying his face up with rope and then pushing him over.

The 90s was full of odd music videos, but nobody expected something quite so leftfield from a band who are usually so straightlaced.

It's not bad by any stretch of the imagination. They should do more stuff like this.
