    Edge was there before the Menendez Bros. moved in. Edge rented it and moved out. The owners sold it when Edge moved out after they were in LA for Rattle And Hum film/album duties. The Menendez family bought and moved in after The Edge and Aislinn moved out.


    Very interesting...
  2. Edge is such a gangster.
  3. Surprised they never wrote a song about it. Also, that made the list of the twenty most gruesome hollywood murders. (I think)
  4. I went out last night and tried out the EH Big Muff. Very cool. I'm torn though. It definitely has a cool and unique sound but I already have a distortion pedal, a Boss SD-1. What I really need is a chorus pedal. I tried out the Boss Bass Chorus but I think something was wrong with it because I couldn't notice hardly any effect even with it cranked. I'm going back to try ones made for guitars rather than bass. I also want to try out the EH Clone Theory for that cool Peter Hook sound.
  5. Cool.


  6. As so am I. I was a Peter Hook fan long before I had an appreciation of Mr. Clayton. "Ceremony" is one of my all time favorites EVER.

    I love his playing and tone too... not to get too far off topic but... I love that melodic 6-string bass type of tone that Hook, The Cure and Siouxsie & The Banshees use. Great stuff.

    Ah, the '80's. Don't forget that great tone in The Cocteau Twins' "Heaven or Las Vegas".


  9. Cocteaus! Fun stuff. Talk about glistening 'dream' pop. "Sugar Hiccup", anyone?
  10. Just to get us back onto U2 , anyone have idea what the intro. noise on UTEOTW is? I'm thinking it's along similar lines to Gone with the "airplane" effect or whatever it was...
