  6. Still can't watch it, I don't have QuickTime. Dammit! Jeff, have you got the COMPLETE link available? 'Cause I think part of the problem with the one you posted is that it's abbreviated (and perhaps try posting it with the Invalid url 'http:// html jargon).'
  8. It's a streaming QT file. Worked fine but ended right in the middle of Edge's "Elevation" bit.

    Ahh, I see.

    At first I was picturing a bunch of guys rocking out, then a loud motorcycle come roaring into an old church building lol.
  10. At least the Edge isn't embarassed or anything about the fact that some of his riffs sound like crap without effects. It's good that he realizes that, and that he doesn't care. I sure don't, his riffs are fucking awesome and they deserve more respect from those twats who say "all edge is, is effects"

    Exactly. And who are these people comparing him to? Take away the effects, and he is still the most creative guitar player in the world. However, for me, the Edge is not a guitar player, he is a musician, a damn fine one. He sings, writes, plays the piano, and guitar. He's the most talented musician out there. Either that, or I've been living under a rock my entire life.

    Sorry if I offend anybody (if it is their taste), but I think that guitar without effects ultimately sounds boring.

    I agree with everything you said except the ending. There's so much acoustic and electric stuff out there that is damn fine music as well. Listen to the Stairway to Heaven riff, check out Stanley Jordan's spider tapping, or some of Niel Young's acoustic stuff. I've only named a few other guitarists I admire, but there are plenty of songs out there without effects that are wicked. Even a lot of U2 songs don't use effects. (In A Little While, Party Girl, Stay (live), Angel of Harlem, and so on). Actually Angel might have something on it
