No problem , enjoy ... I have about 10 other shows from Belgium , from different tours :cool:

I just made an animation from a video I took at my October concert. It's Edge walking right by me during Electric Co!! I love this video, it's the only one I took while the guy's were walking RIGHT in front of me. As you can tell, I was a bit excited as Edge came by and I forgot I was taping it! :lol: :lol: :lol: I put it in my sig! Ha, I'm still very proud of that rail spot I had... :smug:

yes well its still an outtake thats what i meant, but is BETTER, u2 should of hired me to help produce this album.

Here are a couple interviews with The Edge, the subject being the Music Rising (http://www.musicrising.org) campaign he helped found. Got them off Interference:

(You can listen to him on that link, as well)

 

 

 

The Edge and U2 offer aid to New Orleans

 

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A few years ago, New Orleans came to the rescue of U2's The Edge. Now he's paying the city back, helping provide instruments to musicians blasted by Hurricane Katrina.

 

He and his band were in New Orleans in 2001 when tragedy struck at home.

 

"We lost an awful lot of instruments in Dublin in a flood... The storage area where we had all our equipment was completely flooded. But luckily my main guitars were with us in New Orleans... the Gibson Explorer that I've had since I was 17-years-old, and the amplifier I've used on every album for every show since we got a record deal."

 

In 2005, after Katrina devastated New Orleans — a city he calls "very unique and very special" — he was inspired to try to help. The result was Music Rising.

 

For The Edge, aka David Evans, that relief work topped off a packed year of touring, family trauma and five Grammy nominations for U2's How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. The Grammys will be handed out Wednesday.

 

The normally soft-spoken guitarist, 44, grows passionate when he talks about Katrina's impact and his efforts to help with Music Rising, which he organized along with Gibson Guitar, the Guitar Center Music Education Foundation and the MusicCares Foundation.

 

"When I heard about the hurricane, the devastation of the city and the area, I pretty soon started thinking about the musicians, started to think about the cultural loss, not just to New Orleans, not just to America, but really to the world," he told the Associated Press.

 

Does that mean he's planning to follow band-mate Bono's worldwide activist footsteps?

 

Not likely, he responds.

 

"Bono is kind of a one-off character in music. His skills as a communicator are amazing, and his powers of persuasion are equally amazing," he said, smiling. "I would never think of trying to take on quite that level of commitment."

 

True, but New Orleans' mark on the modest musician — known for his humility as well as his thunderous melodies — runs deep. Rising Music is clearly a labor of love.

 

In the early '90s, a visit with Bono to a small New Orleans club had an unexpected impact.

 

"We walked in and the place was jumping. There was this little funk band, but they were all playing brass instruments, which is something I'd never heard of or seen before," he recalled.

 

There, the pair saw a 12-year-old trombone player named Trombone Shorty.

 

"We were just mesmerized by him," The Edge said. "I ended up with Bono, after a few tequilas, and we ended up dancing with a bunch of girls on the top of the bar. It was one of those sort of nights."

 

The birthplace of jazz, and a major influence on rock and roll, New Orleans captivated his attention, he said.

 

He returned last November and found a different, less fun-loving city — one torn apart by natural disaster and a lack of aid.

 

"Going through the streets of New Orleans and seeing the homes of musicians I knew and respected, seeing Fats Domino's home completely destroyed ... It does bring it home in a very personal way," he said.

 

At a recent Music Rising event in Hollywood, the native Irishman showed up in his customary beanie, black leather jacket, jeans and sneakers, and chatted easily with some New Orleans transplants.

 

Affable and humble, he even asked for their e-mail addresses and talked about music "gear" — more a regular Joe than guitarist for one of the biggest bands in the world.

 

U2, its long history including 11 studio albums and 16 Grammy wins, rocked the music world last year with its Vertigo 2005 tour, and was also inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

 

As for its 2006 Grammy nominations — including Album of the Year and Song of the Year for Bono's emotional ode, Sometimes You Can't Make it on Your Own— The Edge said he has no expectations.

 

"Being in the country the whole year, I almost felt like people would have been sick of us by now, that the last band they would want to see is U2."

 

"I would be surprised if we won everything we were nominated for," he said, adding that How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb was "a very strong record, I think maybe our strongest ever in terms of the overall range of the album."

 

But the middle-aged musician acknowledged that newer Album of the Year nominees such as Gwen Stefani and Kanye West — whose albums he likes — may have an advantage.

 

"I think in some ways people will go for something new, that's just arrived, me included," he said, a glint in his eye.

 

The band plans to start working on new songs after returning from an upcoming tour in South America, he said.

 

And watch out Rolling Stones: U2 won't stop touring any time soon.

 

"We grew up on the road ... It's such an integral part of what we are. I don't think we could give up touring. I don't think we could do what the Beatles did, just pack it in."

 

 

So there you go, U2's not going to quit touring! :lol: :D Not that that REALLY means anything, but whatever!

ooooh.... drools :D

This has really made my day...just because it comes off Edge :cool: :cool:

Thanks for the link Danielle..and for the animated gif in your sig :wink3:

Heh, you're welcome.

 

 

And oh yes, I quite enjoy my sig animation. :lol: :lol: :sneaky:

Oh, and I LOVE that Larry quote in your sig, iriden! Larry's great, he doesn't bullshit around :lol:

I Love U2, listen to them everyday :D

i'm going to have to agree that some of the outtakes and especially the demo of mercy (i love it!) are more enjoyable for me than some of the HTDAAB tracks. i dislike a man and a woman and miracle drug IMMENSELY.

 

if anyone is interested, i have a live track of the rolling stones with bono on guest vocals here:

Oh' date=' and I LOVE that Larry quote in your sig, [b']iriden[/b]! Larry's great, he doesn't bullshit around :lol:

 

When he speaks (not very often I'd dare say :P ) he always cracks me up :lol: :lol: :lol:

Oh' date=' and I LOVE that Larry quote in your sig, [b']iriden[/b]!

 

agreed :lol: :lol:

Everyone ready to watch the Grammys tomorrow at 8?

 

I am!!!!!! :D GO U2!!!

 

I think Edge is performing with Bruce Springsteen in a New Orleans tribute (holy craaaap no matter how many times I've seen Bruce and U2 together, each time it happens I literally combust :lol: :rolleyes: ). They're playing something with Mary J. Blige, which has got to be 'One'. I kind of hope it's not (since we've all heard it sooo much), but hey I'm not complaining!

 

 

 

So yes, I am very excited! :lol: All my favorite bands/singers are there tomorrow (well, my main favorites) and I couldn't be happier!!!

 

 

But fuck, they just HAD to put a new episode of Lost and Project Runway on at the same time, didn't they? :angry:

I love me some U2.

 

The Vertigo Tour was amazing.

Did you see any shows?

 

 

Jeez, it was incredible though, wasn't it? It was so surreal to me (since I basically stalked them around Beantown for all three legs). The entire tour just owned my 2005. :lol:

 

I miss it... :cry:

 

(thus my nostalgia with the animation in my sig :rolleyes: )
