U2 & Guitar Gear: Q & A

I don't know why he's using the retro for this song, there's no sustaining involved, except I think at one part he simulates a kind of feedback with teh sustain. I also miss the guitar riff he played during the "I remember, when we could sleep..." that was so cool back in the day, i loved that changed guitar part from the album. I don't like the new one as much.

There's plenty of sustain going on fella, whenever he's not playing the riff or at the end when he's ripping out the chords, he's whamming out some magic on the sustain pickup, adds a much darker feel to the song for me like the original album version.

And there is nothing wrong with Edge experimenting and trying different things. Or at least not to me, there isn't

As for the Explorer, he does use it in Beautiful Day... isn't like he doesn't bring it out...

It was just a joke, guys. I'm not as talented as you when it comes to guitars and effects, but I was just missing the Explorer looking
