Good sir, I do believe that all that caffeine has risen up from the depths and caught you in the clappers!

(whatever the clappers may well be...)

Indeed. Guilty (caffeinated) as charged.

While The Edge has two refrigerator sized racks full of effects and goodies, Bono has an assortment of toys too. The fact that there is some amount of thought to this shows that Bono does actually play a bit of guitar. Sure he's no The Edge but he's far better than most give him credit.

Here's a bit more of Bono's Vertigo tour goodies...

T'is a bit odd that Bono was travelling with FOUR Gretsch Irish Falcons and TWO Gigson Elvis Presley Doves, being that he played less guitar on Vertigo than he had since... probably before The Joshua Tree tour.

Originally posted by wtshnnfb01Really cool story here. Its completely non-related, but this seems a decent place to post it on account of the band involved having such cool guitars.

My friend Lee went to a Cheap Trick concert last week.(I woulda went, but was broke) He managed to get a backstage pass, and met the band. On top of that he got a brief solo dedicated to him( played on the five neck guitar). He was refered to as "The Fenderman" on account of his t-shirt. (he has since changed his myspace name to this complete with the story) Allegedly Rick Nillison, and Robin Zander are both really nice guys. Tom Petterson, and Bunny Carlos, dont talk much though. (I personally think they may be the most overlloked band of all time)
