  1. Adams overdriven midrange tone from Vertigo was awesome.It looks like he's sticking with it for the next album.Good to see he's sticking with the Fender jazz also.

    Daddy like the Burgundy Mist finish on that bass. Wonder what that distortion was.... maybe the one of Edge's? Maybe another toy of Lanois'? Maybe a new unit? Time will tell.... sounded good.
  3. What all has Edge used in the way of signature guitars? Aside from the Claptons, I know he uses Pete Townshend acoustics.

    To the best of my knowledge... or at least what I remember off the top of my head...

    The Fender "Eric Clapton model" Stratocasters and the Gibson "Pete Townshend model" Gibson J-200's are the only ones.

    The Clapton's probably were more of Fender sending some proto-types as The Edge was looking for Stratocaster options / possible replacements around that time.

    The Pete Townshend being that he was on a bit of a The Who kick. "All Because of You", being an obvious nod to The Who.
  5. I can just picture the Edge getting some new guitars.

    Dallas: Fender called. They want to give you some new Clapton Strats.
    Edge: Can I get fucked up piant jobs, like snakes and sculls?
    Dallas: No, but theres always aftermarket.
    Edge: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hahahahaha...

    Rene' Castro did a good job 'fecking' up the charcoal Clapton. Although the various stickers on Edge's yellow one.... What THE feck? Maybe he wasn't sleeping well, or drinking too much or thinking straight... or maybe just had some excess stickers.

    Glad he left the Explorers and the Les Pauls sticker-free lol...otherwise my opinion of him may have lowered I like the Rene Castro Strat....

    Yeah... thank God it isn't like James Hetfield's ESP Explorer with a sticker that said "More Beer". That'd be sad!

    Yeah, well, it's kinda part of the package with a metal guitarist...not that I'm judgmental or anything!

    Distortion out of proportion, as I like to call it.
  12. I read of it before... a magazine (Musician magazine, probably) that said that Edge bought a Dobro (in Nashville) for cheap. Yet I've never seen him play it, heard of him playing it or seen any piccies...

    Until now...

    This from the 1988 Woody Guthrie tribute of U2 playing "Jesus Christ":
