  • Does anyone know what kind of guitar he's playing?

  • @impeachablejoe Gibson SJ200

  • @juutuubify Awesome! Thanks!!

  • I like u U2 ..

  • The Edge = Genius

  • those who have questions about Bono's singing haven't heard U2 well.

    I mean listen to the songs like sunday bloody sunday, a sort of homecoming, where the streets have no name, with or without you, one, lemon, beautiful day and hundreds of other songs.

    Bono is surely the greatest vocalist today..

  • The Edge IS u2 now.. Bono is lost somewhere in selfrighteousness and confusion or other such place. But this man really functions as required. Good ol' Edge. Got to love him.

  • "Love Is Blindness As Sometimes It May Brings Us Some Kindness"

  • Love when Edge has a go at lead vocals, and a guitar inspiration

  • impressive performance!!!

  • Gross, Vevo..

  • God bless you Edge

  • Amazing:) The Edge is a great musician........

  • love hearing Edge sing... love this version! :)

  • So pure So beautiful,So the edge!

    Thanks

  • BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVO! Loved seeing this from a different direction. Sounded so pure, and even a bit fragile. I love it.

  • the edg is cool

  • An incredible song form an amazing band like U2. Edge has such a lovely voice. Shame we can't hear him sing more often. "Love is blindness" is one of the greatest songs ever written and this version brought tears to my eyes. U2 <3

  • fuck my life !!! where do I go from here? what is next? I am have been scarred from the last few years, happyness must be soon?

  • what you talk about......this is the edge,,,this is u2 not this bands in this time,,,this is u2,,,and i die for this band,,,love u2 makes my happy always,,,i listenning this all,,u2 bono,,edge,,adam,,,larry we love ou 4 ever,,,,portugal die for you u2...

  • A GREAT SONG. A GREAT SINGER. A GREAT BAND. JUST ONE OF THE BEST BANDS OF THE WORLD: U2

  • love it, caught a glimpse of this in the background of a tv documentary on the boys. Tried for a while to find it online but alas i couldn't. TY so much for posting this. Great version.

  • my hero

  • God , He is the sound of U2, :') i love him , one of the greatest guitar players in the entire world

  • @hermione1898

    Agreed.

  • J'adore cette chanson elle est magnifique c meme ma chanson préférée... C'est un jolie version.

  • 106 people have no taste in music

  • The edge love is strong

    from france

    peace and thank you so much

  • It is

    g

  • hej

    

  • Who said that the Edge can only play guitar with alot of effects? This is a great song!

  • buenisimo Edge es espectacular, deberia cantar mas, maravillosa la guitarra....

  • That's just great! Well done Edge.

  • Emotion... Bono lui a enseigné quelque truc en dirai parce que leur voix se ressemble!

  • This man is just God..

  • I didn't know it was Edge singing a whole section of Miracle Drug until I saw a video.

  • EL MEJOR. The best!

  • The Edge is a beautiful singer in his own right. Sure he doesn't have the range of Bono but they sound like brothers with the Edge's voice being a softer version of Bono's. As an illustration, if you go way back to the song 'Seconds' from their War album, the Edge singes the entire opening section with Bono not coming in until after the first "Fall, rise and...fall, rise and...". Not many people even realise its the Edge singing.

  • @Keruaran

    PS: If you're going to go listen to Seconds, listen to this part:

    Say goodbye, say goodbye

    Say goodbye, say goodbye

    Say goodbye...

    The Edge sings the first "say goodbye" followed by Bono singing the second one. You can hear the Edge's smoother tone followed by Bono's wilder rougher edge. They really do sound like brothers, and their harmonies even back then were fantastic.

  • THE TABS PLEEEEEASE THE TABS!!!

    It's so weird to listen to such a wonderful version and there's no screams or claps in the end. That doesn't happen often to U2.

  • better than original, it makes me cry

  • One man in his 50's, a piece of wood with metal strings. So much soul and feeling. Wise man.

  • I love Bono's voice, but I really think Edge should sing lead vocals on at least one song on the next U2 album. He's got a different sort of voice than Bono, but just as good.

  • @Les342

    It might not be much but its gold: He does lead vocal on Numb, Van Diemens Land, and shares lead with Bono on Seconds (from their War album), which is well worth a listen (Bono doesn't come in at all on lead till you hear him sing the words, "In an apartment on Time Square..." before that its all the Edge with Bono providing harmonies. The interplay between them on Seconds is pure gold.

  • @Les342

    PS: Listen to 'Seconds' here: watch?v=28z5aTiN4UI

  • For me this song in Edge's voice is just amazing, he's voice is so beautiful and clear that gives me goosygumps hearing him like that!

  • Tt

  • J'adore, je trouve que edge un très bon musicien et chanteur. Il est trop souvent dans l'ombre et c'est dommage. Sans lui U2 ne serait rien.

  • i llike this guitar solo

    

  • The Edge.... just incredible. 

  • esta re sarpadooo ! son lo mejor U2

  • the edge doesnt have that burst like bono lol..

    bono is bono for a reason.. they are equally talented..at least bono write those beautiful lyrics..

  • ofcourse he sounds a lot like bono, he has been backing him up for a lot of years, and making bono sound better for just as long. and he has to sound like bono because otherwise it would distract the audience from bono's singing. so it's not really shocking that his singing sounds a lot like bono's.

    people who are a fan of adele, start singing her songs, right?

    after a year or so, when she is writing her own songs, you can hear the adele influence in their voice, it's only natural!

  • @alstartheman And of course the irish accent :)

  • Comment removed

  • lovely.

  • my music genre changed. ever since i got into the old style of modern music it actually doesn't sound bad. it's better than pointless rap, even though i like rap too

  • I don't want the band to break up or anything, but I would like it if Edge released a solo album. After all, he is the most talented member of the band.

  • @hillers i dont know about that. Edge is an amzing guitar player, larry is the reason some of the songs have the rythem they do (he is great at coming up with new rythems). Bono has the perfect voice, and adam has the rock roll spirit

  • @hillers I would like to see edge do a solo album though

  • τρέλανέ μας

  • q merda de video!!

  • Wait......so who sang the original studio version? Cause edge sounds so freakin like bono here.

  • @onelightpro

    Bono of course.

  • Wait

  • okay, i dont understand this BONO-EDGE comparison/competition. each an individual that together is beyond dynamic. EDGE doesnt have the showmanship of BONO. BONO doesnt have the instrumental compassion/emotion of the EDGE. i too cannot get enough. deff the highlight of the film.

  • it made my cry deeply. It's incredibly sensitive. Hope more people are able to share this feeling.

  • @jameseastt I do!!!

    An enormous version!!

  • @jameseastt this song is helping me for some weeks already to help me get over my sort of ex... it incredible indeed!

  • Edge and bono sound similar cause they sing together and they are both tenors from Ireland although edge is welsh he sounds Irish when he sings. Any well versed U2 fan knows that edge is the engine that drives U2, the only thing Bono does all by himself is song writing and even some of those are with edge or the band. Anyway this is an awesome film. and an even more awesome band. U2 forever.

  • this is amazing<3 my friend showed it to me. he is an amazing friend. with great taste in music. knows whats up. love The Edge.

  • how in the hell can you dislike this, seriously. unfuckingbelievable

  • Guess this answers the people who say that the Edge can't play and needs a shit load of effects to shound good.

  • Comment removed

  • i wish i had the gutair tabs

  • The Edge the great musician of U2. I Like Van Diemen´s Land too. Perfect.

  • love it!!!!!

  • The Edge was going through a devorce when they wrote this song.

  • Did not know Edge could sing. Kudos to that man!

  • @exarchisodo Come on man...who does the backing vocals on most U2 songs???? The Edge has an amazing voice...

  • he really sounds so much like Bono...its pretty unnerving

  • @S0NiCCCCC I thought the same thing at first, but then I thought which singer has he heard more than any other singer and his brain has probably internalized bono type dynamics for when it comes to singing.

  • Comment removed

  • One of best guitarist ever

  • Edge sings with his heart, I'm crying with such a beautiful voice.

  • U2 rocks forever !

  • if you click the like button really quick twice,it will count as 2 likes!

  • I love this performance so much.

  • Edge sings better than Bono.

  • @melcdn73 I can't say who is better,but together make the best voice.

  • @melcdn73 I don´t know. He sings great, yes, but Bono will always have a great part of what U2 is in his voice ^^ he still sings better than Edge, in my opinion.

  • @Xixh4npr0 Why must you compare the both of them?!...This is not a singing competition, they´re different and that difference only makes the band richer...

  • @ammvf I´m a huge U2 fan, and I haven´t said that Edge isn´t U2, I just think that Bono´s voice is magic, and Edge´s is incredibly good, but I don´t know, they both are great! And well, Bono may sing better, but Edge also plays that guitar so awesome... Can we leave it as a dessiner?

  • Comment removed

  • @melcdn73

    Bono is Bono with a reason. Edge sings great, no doubt, but he hasn't got the wide range like Bono. He can sing in this voice and a bit higher too, but that's all. Bono has a wide range, he can go, or at least he could go, from the deep voice on Exit, to the falsetto on Lemon. He has the ridiculous passion in his voice and without that (alos, it's not the only reason!), U2 wouldn't be where they are now.

  • @methicThem

    I agree with you . The Edge can sing, no doubt, but let's not get carried away here . He hasn't got Bono's musical range . 'Slow' songs like this or 'van Diemens land' or 'numb' = ok for Edge . But can you imagine Edge singin 'magnificent' or 'stand up comedy' or anything else 'rock n roll-isch' ? No, but I like his voice anyway . I think U2 is a really well balanced band and Bono has an incredible voice . That's just my opinion :)

  • @bonavox11 Honestly, I don't think we'll know until we hear it. Not saying you're wrong, just that I'm not certain you're right.

  • @bonavox11

    Agree. And... NO ONE could do Bono's intro to Streets from Slane Castle live show... That just one more thing.

  • @melcdn73 no no no no

    but he's great, anyway.

  • @melcdn73 ok is great but not like Bono

  • i do 

  • Anyone have the tab for this solo version?

  • So many times I get confused bono's voice with the one of the Edge. He has such a beautiful voice sometimes I think they should switch roles in a band,,,just for a diversity's sake:-)

  • The look in his eyes...you know the man knows what he's talkin' about...

  • Ppl, check out "U2's the edge soundchecks his guitar", the man is literally a modern day Mozart

  • U2 is killing me... :( I should study for exams now but I can't! Please U2, don't be so cool because I can't concentrate on my exams! :( It's terrible. If I fail my exams - it will be your fault!

  • Simply amazing. What a beautiful song and lyrics!

  • Comment removed

  • i love that melody

  • more Edge's Solo

  • can't help but smile. :D

  • love it

    wonderful performance

  • Ta piosenka jest zajebista

  • I simply can't stop watching this video. As in 10-20 times a day, daily. I hear it even when I'm not watching it. It haunts me when I sleep. It's been a long time since a piece of music did that.

  • @wickedgillie Beautifully-put

    

  • @wickedgillie that is so true :P i have been singing this song for over a month now! it's so amazing and almost impossible to get out of my head

  • @wickedgillie U2..they will do it to you everytime..we call them.."THE BAND OF LIFE"

  • wow just wow

  • the sound of the guitar at 1:58 is fucking ridiculous...

  • This song just made me drop all the things i was doing at the moment. So beautiful.

  • This is beautiful! A true artist.

  • wow edge<3 this song and ur private life at this point... u sing like it really touch my soul

  • Thank you Edge. Amazing.

  • I was told i look like the kid on the U2 War cover, it's odd, i'm 17 hes maybe 12

  • Absolutely beautiful!!

    

  • edge is sick. for a promising new band youtube 'kaveli - heartless clouds'

  • genialne!

    

  • Edge sounds similar to Bono

  • Bloody brilliant. 

  • beautiful. just beautiful

  • While listening to U2's older albums, it's almost impossible for me to tell Bono's and the Edge's voices apart. They go so well together, but I do love it when the Edge gets to go solo. This video is up there with 'Van Diemen's Land'.

  • @Batgirlgl I remember when I first got into U2; I loved Van Diemen's Land. Totally thought it was Bono singing. Even in Miracle Drug when The Edge sings that one part, it really does sound like Bono! No wonder why they sound so great live.

  • My favorite guitar player. Amazing. Absolutely amazing! I wish I could Like this video twice.

  • @tsteffes Beautiful voice.. Amazing performance.. Yes, definitely I wish I could Like this video twice! :)

  • @tsteffes If you haven't already seen a documentary-film entitled "It might get loud", you must see it. The film is about guitars and the history of guitarists including different styles of musicians and their effects and inspirations to new generations of guitarists. It stars Jimmy Page, The Edge and Jack White. -Three musicians who could not be more different in their playing. It's incredible and I heartily recommend it to you.

  • @wackinstack Thanks! I will check it out. :)

  • @wackinstack Yes-AWESOME movie!!

  • Yes, Hate is always Real but Love, Love always is misunderstanding and cover it in a fake means, So We have to find The Real Means ...... Living The Meaning of Love. When We find it, Never we will fall in a Tramp. Dicipline and Real Virtue.

  • He sounds like a young Bono.

  • @wackinstack He always has, but I've not his so Bono-ish before. I wonder why. Because of jamming together, or doing so many backing vocals over the decades to Bono?

  • @Cloxxki Hey it could very well be from so many years jamming together. It wouldn't surprise me if he learned to sing from Bono, he is a remarkable singer and could most likely teach anyone to sing.

    Whatever it may be, I'm just happy to hear the music of U2. I'm so glad they never broke up like so many other great bands out their.

  • @wackinstack Funny, I seem to remember reports that Edge and his brother had been frantically practicing guitar, to become musicians. When Larry started a band, Bono was just looking for way to (loudly) express himself. Whichever way it went, they turned out alright. Even Edge's brother.

  • @wackinstack Apparently, Edge has been able to sing well for a long time. In the book U2 by U2, the band talks about how in one of their earlier gigs, the dancing girls came to Edge before the show and begged him to sing instead of Bono, because "Bono can't sing." I wonder where those dancing girls are now.... But yeah, Edge has had a lovely voice since he was a teen.

  • @wackinstack First time i didn't see the video and I've just heard the song. I thought its Bono singing live

  • @wackinstack He sounds like Bono, period :P

  • Edge's voice is not one bit edgey. I think it is quite calmer than Bono's although they sound so similar.

  • BRETT O'MALLEY - AMAZING LIFE

    GET YA GROOOVE ON!!

  • its always the simple songs that are the most beautiful

  • I love you!

  • Irish guy..........its ok Ok, so you are amazing

  • Percfect

  • Perfect

  • @HopeRanchFBS haha xD

  • he sooo sounds like bono :)

  • The 93 people who disliked are really blind..

  • He sings just as good as Bono.

  • Moments like this remind me why U2 are the best live band...

  • LOVE your postings~do you know if that documentary is going to be available on DVD? still waiting on the 3D, guess we better not hold our breathes on that one!
