    Oh wait... that was the DREAM Police, that Cheap Trick were singing about. Never mind.


    That band is so underrated. Did I tell you what happened to my buddie Lee when he went to see them?


  2. I agree, Cheap Trick rock! I think you mentioned that he got to meet them? True? Any pictures of said meeting? I'd love to meet those guys. Loved Cheap Trick for ages. Fun and under-rated band.

    They are much more than ballads like "The Flame", which they didn't write and didn't necessarily like.
  3. I saw Cheap Trick a couple of weeks ago opening for Heart and Journey. They sounded awesome! Rick Nielson changed guitars on every song. He even played the infamous 5-neck Beast.
  4. Does anyone have an entire comprehensive guitar tab for Bad?
    I just got my delay pedal and im eager to learn the song properly!
    Any knowledge about delay settings would be welcomed too!

    Swine - what sort of pedal? This is just me, but I've found that something around 40 works pretty well. I was playing along to a TUF version on that setting anywho lol...I would help you with tabs, but a) I don't use them and b) I think it's a pretty easy song, major use of drone notes (i.e. open A and D strings - or Ab and Db if you've tuned it down half a step)

    I bought a Boss DD3, im having so much with it
    Cheers for the advice man

  7. No worries, wish I could be a bit more precise lol! And damn I'm jealous, Boss DD3...sod!
  8. It cost me fair bit, but theyre definitely woth it if you're like me and obsessed with learning most of Edge's songs
  9. In my experience with a Boss delay pedal you'll want to target the 440-450ms area and fine tune it from there. I'm also pretty sure that if your using a strat you'll wan the #2 PU setting. Oh, and don't forget your Herdim picks! : )

    (Strat where are you?!)

    I'm here.

    If using a Strat, many of Edge tones are using the middle and bridge position, referred to some as the 'quack' position. (Pride, Streets, etc... all middle/bridge p'up combo)

    The solo on Bullet... I will have to double check but I'm pretty sure it's neck pickup only.
  11. Herdim picks are one major 'key' to Edge's tone. Using them upside-down and striking the strings with the grip part scraping the strings is what gives his playing a more percussive edge (pardon the pun)

    Herdim's are not so easy to find. They are not in your Guitar Center or Sam Ash's of the world.

    You can find them at the following:



    THIS - is what you are looking for > {b]HERDIM blue tear drop picks.
    These are available at the following sites/dealers
    http://www.hobgoblin-usa.com/local/contfram.htm
    http://www.prussiavalley.com/Other_Accessories.htm
    http://www.dulcimer harbor.com/ 2310167.html

    Herco 75's are a good alternative. They are more readily available, if one can't find or order the HERDIM blue tear drop picks that Edge (and Adam) use.

    Seems that Dallas has also had someone make some Herdim-like picks for Edge:

  12. +1 on the Herco's. I started using them when I was playing guitar and have continued using them on bass.
