bjaiken Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 YouTube- Egde U2 - without the effects[/url] What's your point? Are you saying the Edge is not a good guitarist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolarMonkey Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 What's your point? Are you saying the Edge is not a good guitarist? i loved his facial expression there when i first saw that bit on 'It Might Get Loud'...still do! haha not sure what Braddock's point is by posting that, but i happened to have watched that movie recently. if you haven't seen it, that's from the bit/"chapter" where he, Jimmy Page & Jack White were discussiong their signature techniques. for The Edge's case, i felt that particular scene showed why he uses effects pedal on the U2 albums very well. i definitely would have the same expression as him playing that Elevation riff sounding the way it did without effects. :dozey: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjaiken Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 ^ He's created the musical backdrop for the biggest band over the last 25 years. Not only that, but his guitar playing is recognized instantly as being uniquely his own. I don't care if he's a virtuoso or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolarMonkey Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 indeed! his sound is definitely distinctly his, especially what he does with the delay effect, & imo that movie did a good job of telling the story of how he came to develop the sound of U2.

coldplay_is_louve. Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 The Edge makes up about 60% of why U2 is U2, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMagpie Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Went to a U2 DVD pre-screening party tonight. One of 21 hosted in North America. It was at my friend's house. Ended up winning a copy of the DVD before it comes out! Look for my pic or my face in a video on U2.com soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to pick it up on my way home from work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMagpie Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Yeah, we watched it a few hours ago. Pretty awesome. Although I think that U2 DVDs will forever be spoiled by all the camera flashes! Also not too hard to see how Bono has been wearing out his back :P Some cheesey animation stuff in it, I don't know, its sort of cool but sort of not.

bjaiken Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Are you talking about how he swings from the circle mic, or his gyrations in general? I hope it's good. I was at the Rose Bowl show but had miserable seats. This will be like watching it for the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMagpie Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Well mostly the circle mic, but just his energy in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjaiken Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 ^ haha...I love Bono. Easily my favorite frontman of all time. Is the view the same as the YouTube video? Sorry to bug. I should just wait until tomorrow. I just hope it has a good recording of Ultraviolet. It's a top 3 U2 song for me, and the circle mic and lighting just fit that song.

the_gloaming09 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Ultraviolet is a great song! It's one of my favorite U2 songs and one of the concert highlights when i saw them in october. Also Moment of Surrender was great too. I still wish they played Stay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The view uses some of the same shots I'm sure (I'd have to watch them side by side to compare). But definitely alot of new shots not from youtube. You'll really love the Ultraviolet light video. Some cool stuff. And I mean just the colours are so crisp in the DVD. And the audio is good too, not that echoing type of sound we heard on the youtube broadcast.

bjaiken Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Got the DVD today. I went with the 2 disc set. I will watch it later tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMagpie Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Unfortunately I only won the 1 disc version. But hey, not complaining. And traditionally I don't really watch the second disk more than once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldplay_is_louve. Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 My DVD came in! I'll be watching it very, very late tonight. I have a hockey game to go to, then I'll watch after that. :uhoh::P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnspieler1012 Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I've noticed that the blackhawks arena plays 'streets' near the ten minute mark in the 3rd period, while I think philly plays elevation early on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
