![]() You're a precious stone, You're out on your own Rich kids 'Daddy give you as much as you can take' - or flip it and it's about a sugar Daddy. Pertinent to the times it was written in - probably 1992. It's a great song about capitalism v Communism - greed v evil. 'Zooropa' is the last great, classic, experimental U2 created. There's nothing as out there on 'Pop', yeah 'Mofo' but that mix of rock and dance was everywhere in '97, the rest of 'Pop' is quite traditional. That's a band that are confident, and can be considered a guitar solo in itself. Every time you listen to it, you can pick something new out.įlood when producing talked about the amount of processing and sampling of different guitar parts, which create this really unusual musical mosaic. That song is great for the amount going on in it, the engaged telephone throughout, great vocals. 'Daddy's Gonna Pay.' he plays some funky licks live - which are not guitar solos per say.

Yes, non - u2/Edge fans will say what they want but at the end of the day, Edge has been something right for myself and countless other to watch perform live, time after time. Without Edge in the band, U2 would not be nearly as successful as they are today. Bono, Edge, Adam, and Larry are songwriters, with Edge leading the charge since he is the color and texture to the band. It’s to give the song life, character, and a chance to break away from the rest of the singles worthy body of work U2 have. Edge is there because the music needs him for his colorful landscapes, sonic passages of delay and the shimmer reverb, etc.Įddie Van Halen once told a guitar magazine that the Edge loves his delay, but deep down the true purpose behind the echo is for the song and songwriter. Point being, Edge is not there for 10 minute guitar jams, arpeggios from hell runs, or to have the spotlight shine on him. Earlier comment mentioned the Bullet the Blue Sky solo from ZooTv, and that’s a great performance, but it’s not who the edge fully is as a guitar player.īono asked edge to have his guitar scream like fighter-planes flying over South America, and behold the intro wails of Edges slide guitar for Bullet. Edge is one of the greatest guitar players hands down.
