Yeah, I accidentally fell into that trap earlier on lol. Despite the fact I knew it wasn't lol...
Originally posted by WojBhoyHere's a question for ye all - why is it that AofH was originally played using "power chords", I mean watch R&H, and Edge plays it thus, and you can tell he is on any live version c. Lovetown - for reference, I'm listening to the New Year's Day show from the Point Depot, and you can here the gap between the chords - yet on recent versions, he just plays it with normal open chords?
Originally posted by anstratdubh1979[..]One possibility is because Edge has admitted that he forgets how to play the songs, once mentioning that he had to buy some of the albums to re-learn the songs.

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...

Ultra Violet being a prime example...

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...

There are plenty of SHIT Fenders. There are some SHIT Epiphones.
Epi SG's are abysmal. Most Epi LP's need the tuners swapped out and the pickups. That said, the `56 LP reissues with P-90 p'ups are lovely. Slash LP is lovely. Epi Explorers are fantastic. Epi Casino's are quite nice (and on my short-list of guitars to buy).
Most Fenders that are under 599.99 - it's like the previously mentioned PayLess comment. Most under 600 are shite. Some of them can be saved with some upgrades and some not.

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...
Originally posted by RattleandHum1988[..]Oh well, I started out on a washburn House of Blues model. I remember when I took it into get its strings replaced (back when I was a noob) the guy working hadn't even heard of it before hahaha.
Originally posted by RattleandHum1988Yes indeed. A Squier is much different than Fender. A lot of people think Epiphone is to Gibson as to Squier is to Fender. Nuh uh. But I have played some squiers that don't sound too bad, sometimes you just get lucky.
