  1. Speaking of "Elevation"... Here's my FAVORITE picture I got of Edge playing this... I took this one at the November 2, 2005 Los Angeles show. We were inside the ellipse and parked right in front of our 'guitar hero'

    Speaking of Guitar Hero, shouldn't the game owe Edge residuals on the name "Guitar Hero"? (Kidding)

  2. I'd complain about the quality, but takeing good pictures that close to a stage is hard. It actually looks pretty cool like that.
  3. What was "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" played on.

    I got bumped! But I liked that this one looked 'artistic'. Many of my up close shots came out great.

    The recording? I am uncertain. He's 'miming' the video with his Yamaha AE2000
  6. THIS (pic below) being the Yamaha AE2000:

  7. Picture request:

    Hae you any Pop Mart era pictures of The Edge with the orange Fernandes guitar or the sea foam green? Both were used for "Discotheque", "..Velvet Dress" and "With Or Without You"





    Here's Edge using the orange one at the dress rehearsal for Elevation tour...


    I need some large pictures of either and any clear close-ups. Can anyone help me out with this?

    Thanks!
  8. Sorry I can't help with the guitar pics Jeff...

    ...however, I just got a couple of questions if you're feeling in the mood

    Firstly - I haven't watched it in a while, but I remember on the PopMart DVD, Edge played SBS and then BTBS on a Les Paul, but can't remember whether it was the goldtop or one of the '75?

    Secondly - do you know what amps. Edge uses?

    SBS and BTBS were the 1983 Gibson Les Paul 30th Anniversary Goldtop.

    BS:


    BTBS:


    Amps vary from tour to tour. 1960's era VOX AC30's are a mainstay.

    For Vertigo tour:
    VERTIGO TOUR - AMPLIFIERS:


    Per Dallas Schoo interview Nov 2006
    ON-STAGE:
    Vox - AC30TB - 1964 (# 1 main amp)
    Vox - AC30TB - 1962
    Fender - Deluxe - 1958
    Fender - Deluxe - 1957
    Fender - Deluxe - 1959

    BEHIND RIG:
    Fender - Deluxe - 1959
    Vox - AC30TB - 1965
    Vox - AC30TB - 1963 (Vox in a Box)
  10. Picture request:

    I still need either some good close ups or really big pics of the orange Fernandes guitar or the sea foam green? Both were used for "Discotheque", "..Velvet Dress" and "With Or Without You". Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Pics of guitars in question below... as mentioned I need some bigger one's and better resolution. Thanks.

    The screaching intro to "Gone"? Edge refers to that as the 747 sound. And that is pretty much what it sounds like - a jet engine/siren.

    Per Sept 1997 Guitar World and Flood... "It's him using his Korg SDD 3000 delay heavily feedback and then going through a couple of different fuzz pedals and a Whammy pedal. One of the fuzz pedals was a "Fuzz Face". He used a semi-acoustic guitar - either an Epiphone or a Gretsch with that setup to get that sound."

    So while Flood isn't 100% sure on the guitar, chances are it was either the Gibson ES330 or one of the two Gretsch Country Gents that Edge was using around that time. (One was either a 1964 or 1965 [seen it quoted by either vintage] and the other was a 1967 Country Gent.)

    When playing it live, Edge activates it on a sequencer. But per Dallas, Edge remakes the sequnces for certain things ever few shows.

    What song is that for though? Granted, it's something c. Pop or before, but I can't find the original question, and I'm interested as to what song we're referring to lol!

    EDIT - don't worry, just seen the "Gone tab" topic
