    Yeah they should try rotating in Discotheque where HMTMKMKM and Ultraviolet are. In fact, I'd say tkae those two out (they've been played enough now, especially UV) and throw in Discotheque and another ringer, like maybe bring Bullet and RTST back? (rotating, not painflly every show like before) or maybe even something like Dirty Day?

    A year ago these requests would seem way too imaginary and out there, but looking at the last two legs, and the surprises U2 has been pulling out, are they?
  2. No disrespect meant but aren't we getting a bit off topic here?


  3. Totally.


    I just came back from my granpa's, I've had lots of fun with the wonderful Les Paul Artisan that my granfather owns. His vintage wah pedal helped too
  4. I uploaded a scan I did of the Pop booklet from the infamous mirror Les Paul It's 1800x1800 pixels and pretty well defined, so enjoy!




  5. The description seems a bit off. He doesn't have it any longer. And that he auctioned it off in 1999.

  6. For sure? Ok, then I'll change the descritpion when I get home. Any more info that I could add?



  7. That is what Dallas said. It was an auction in Ireland but I don't remember what for. The auction was in 1999.
  8. I've been loving the Rickenbacker. That's all I can say. I'm still figuring out what it's good at and what it isn't, but there's definitely more it's good at than not. This guitar is simply amazing.

    I was just diddling around on my U2 settings, and I came across my Pride settings and started to play. To my surprise the tone sounded a lot like the album version of the song! (At least to my ears).

    Here's the clip, I did have vocals on it, but really, who can sing this song in this register and sound as good as Bono does on the album? Scrapped those, so if you get bored, I understand

    P.S Real Thing is next!!!
  9. I wish I could play that good
  10. Anybody know what gear (pedals and effects mainly) that Edge uses for Pride? Album version too.


  11. You can get that tone with Comp/Boost and Delay.

    What did Edge have for the album? By then he had the MXR DynaComp Compressor, Boss FA-1 Bi-Fet (for boost)... He still had E-H Deluxe Memory Man during the making of the Unforgettable Fire album - for Delay. But it's also possible that he used the Korg SDD3000.

    A lot of the tone definitely comes from the guitar used too. I think it's still a mystery as to what he used. Some think it was the White Falcon, some think it was a tele,some think it was his strat with the Dimarzio FS-1 or the Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder, and some think (this is what I think) it was his LPC. You can see him using the LPC in windmill lane in the making of UF videos while they're doing overdubs, so I think he used the LPC.
