  1. Haven't seen Edge with a Gibson since the "Boots" video?

    This album appears to be Strat-free. (Although there must be one in there somewhere, right?)

    We've also seen Adam using lots of Epiphone and Gibson and no Lakland basses...

    Also 'different'? Larry usiing a Brady snare drum.



    ...Larry seems to be using a metal-shell snare. (Yamaha?) That would be a big change as he's used wooden Brady snare drums since during the Love Town tour.

    I am glad that Larry's gone back to the silver sparkle Oak Custom kit. It sppears Larry's used that for the Boots video and US promo shows only, thus far; using the white Yamaha kit in UK and Europe promo shows.

    Like I said, I hope he takes the Oak Custom sparkle kit out on tour. Sounds great. Looks great.
  2. Larry has also moved his ride cymbal. It was more to his right, like in the photo below:

    VERTIGO TOUR kit


    But now a tamborine is there and the ride is low and over the bass drum. (A far better and more natural position; being right "there" in front of him) [see piccy below]

    YAMAHA OAK CUSTOM kit used for LETTERMAN


    Essentially, he's had the tamborine and ride cymbal change places.

    Inteligent...it was nearly unplayable like it was before. But he doesn't use it very often anyway.
  4. Actually, he does use the ride a lot, and certainly more so on the last 3 records than in the past.

    But I agree that over the bass drum and in a lower nature position is best. I think he realized "I'm using the ride cymbal more than tamborine these days... so... have them swap places.
  5. I am loving that Larry is getting a bit 'adventurous' with drum finishes again, like he did with his Popmart tour Yamaha 30th Anniversary Maple Custom kit.

  9. Damn! I so wish I had been there. I only live about 20 min away, but the initial reports said you needed a Fordham student ID to get near it. Blast!

    Jeff--is that Edge's "small rig" that he used for the BBC rooftop? Only half the rack, one Vox, one Fender...?

    Yep, that looks like the similar to same bit used at BBC.


  11. I have been known to rock.

    ADAM was rockin' his arse off at Fordham. (Ofcourse, he might just have been trying to stay warm)

    But yeah, It's great to see them all 'going for it' at the GMA and Letterman shows this week.
