    @danakerman 14 лет назад +1

    Interesting fact: Edge sometimes uses a Line 6 hollowbody for this song. Not sure if that's what he used on the studio version, but if you look up "U2's The Edge demonstrating his guitar rig (2/2)" on RUclips, you'll see him demonstrating it at the very end of the clip.

  • @matt300
    @matt300 9 лет назад +13

    • @habibhussain825
      @habibhussain825 6 лет назад +3

      Matt Macreadie maybe but the edge is economical with his guitar playing. Whilst this guy is unquestionably talented some elements of his performance are a bit overblown, excessive soloing veerring into guns and Roses territory ...for brilliant edge playing please find the fly from Boston 2001...

Our guitarist was good but man I wanted to jump in the video here and jam along with you for you were awesome. Hope you play in a band for your calling is obvious. Hope your also having fun for that's really what it's all about!! Rock on u24u2

  • @Barth2b
    @Barth2b 14 лет назад +2

    I usually don't like cover versions, most of them only show that having the right gear isn't as important as knowing how to use it, not to mention to fit the play right to the feeling of the song, not missing important details etc.
    What you've done is amazing, accurate to the song, detailed and sufficiently inventive. As someone said, Edge would be really proud:).
    Keep on doing your stuff!

No one can compare, but you kicked ass here man!

This here is Sonic magnetic ))))))))))))))))))) guitar! rock on!

    Sorry guys, it wasn't me who left those comments!!!
    It was an asshole in my class called Ryan who used to be my friend. He didn't know how to make a RUclips account, so I gave him my username and password so he could use it to leave comments and favourite videos for a while. (That was obviously a bad idea)
    It dosen't really matter where he is from (Not trying to be cheecky)
    all I know, is that he is the best U2 coverer on the net.
    The solo in this is amazing aswell.
    Sorry,
    Matt.

    @ordinarylove9986 10 лет назад

    fucking awesome dude! your guitar sounds like a 'sonic' guitar! I don't know what you did or how you arranged everything, but it fuckin sounds better than even the edge in concert! I guess U2 keeps their sound, instrumentation etc to a certain 'level' in concert, so as not to 'fly away' with the song, man, you are HARD ROCKIN! U2 isn't really a 'hard' rock band, they do have their moments - 'dirty day' can be hard, maybe you can do that one, off 'zooropa' if you haven't already, its great just hearing the guitar for once without bono's loud mouth lol going, and no bass or drums to interfere, wow, you get a much deeper appreciation of what edge is doing, and just how much of a rocker he is! I love the way you bring out the songs with your style, whereas U2 has to keep edge on a leash, or else he could go fucking ballistic on guitar! like he deserves too, shut bono the fuck up and take him outta the spotlight, van halen has given bass solos, drum solos, and of course guitar solos, U2 should've-needs to do the same, but alas BONO has long since been BIGGER than the band, so...........if he'd left and done his solo thing a long time ago, instead of trying to do his solo shit within the band, makin an ass of himself in the process, all would have been well, those guys-larry, edge, and adam could do whatever the fuck they want-they don't need the clown bono-let bono go off like david lee roth did-form his own band-do his own thing-U2 get a new lead singer-totally reform the band-that would be kick ass. any body could be lead singer - don henley, tom petty, any cool person thats not some showoff wack job like bono...........

    You're surely using the right effects :) and the sound is perfect. It gets quite tricky, however, especially during the solo. You have to be extremely accurate with the timing because otherwise the sound slips out of your control. Nevertheless, this was one of the best reproductions of this famous piece. I'd love your addition to the solo.
