  1. Originally posted by RattleandHum1988[..]Maybe he liked the sound of the power chords back then, and now he likes the open chords? You can ask the same question about a number of songs. Why was Bad on the album just played with open strings, but live it was palm muted? I know the album version is like 2 or 3 guitars, but you can get close with 1. And why didn't he use a humbucker or bridge for Pride live instead of using the bridge/middle of a strat he used/uses? Weird.

    Conclusions;

    a) more questions for Jeff to ask Dallas or Edge when the time comes
    b) Bridges are good for crossing over water.

    That was my thought as well. Also considering he's not playing it on a Rick. anymore, it's much more stripped down, etc. This is probably why...


    Did he play it on a Rick live? Tis been a long time since I've seen lovetown footage of that song.

    Eh?! I meant I'm the one with low standards compared to Fenders lol...as a rule, I'd have said that Fender is a more reputable and distinguished name than Epiphone, despite Epi.'s links with Gibson...

    I'd rather have an Epi, but we all have our personal preferances
  11. I'd rather have a Fender, if its a good Fender. I don't mean a MIM strat with stock pups, I've been there and done that. But a good strat, and I mean good, can beat any epiphone anyday. Now Fender vs Gibson, whole other story.

    Indeed, an American Tele. would be uber compared to most Epiphones, but I think more in terms of models than makes aswell as looks, e.g. give me a natural finish Explorer (Epi. or Gibson) over most Teles or Strats., but I'd think twice if the Fender in question were a classic black'n'white finish...or the Clapton model Edge used for The Fly/Desire during ZooTV, or his yellow Strat. from the Lovetown days! Bar the odd exception or two, I don't like flashy finishes...
