After their career is finally over, U2 will not only leave behind one of the biggest footprints in the history of rock, they’ll leave behind one of the biggest footprints in the history of music. Their 'competition' isn't just rock legends like The Beatles, Elvis, Led Zeppelin, and The Rolling Stones-- it's people like Mozart, Beethoven, George Gershwin, and Duke Ellington. They are truly one of the ALL TIME greats. Anyone who doesn't understand this needs to listen to their ENTIRE catalog.
please, don't try to compare the edge with another guitarist, because every top band has create their own genre, and also their own way to play guitar as well. U2 has also create their own genre, so you can never compare it with another band, maybe their image or something, but in my opinion every top band is very unique. let say: Nirvana, Bob marley, Pink floyd, RHCP etc etc.. all legendary bands, they all created their own thing. and in my opinion this is the best way to make music:)!
BTW The vid for Rattle and Hum , the song Silver And Gold . FREAKING Awesome when Bono tells Edge to play the blues. If that stuff don't get your blood pumping than you are dead . you have no soul and should leave the comments to people that have a soul and no what the F they are talking about.
This song Fucking RULES ! Seen them in concert for the Joshua Tree tour . Needless to say this was played . Anyone slagin on EDGE is a Fucking IDIOT . I've seen a bunch of Concerts and He holds his own Just FINE ! And better than most.
@LeMaestro123 He is singing a short part of the song written in the 1800's called "When Johnny Comes Marching Home". Just Google the name of the song with lyrics. It is indeed about troops coming home after war. It was sang during the Civil War here in the US. It also shares the melody with an Irish Anti-War song. Just Cheers!
i'm not a u2 fan but i do like edge. he uses his whole set up, effects, guitar, amp, everything to put his emotions, and the emotions of the words into sound. he's a highly underrated "sonic architect"-to steal jimmy pages phrse-
why knock the edge if he sounded like anyone else he wouldn`t be unique and u2 would be just another band he works for them its the sum of the collective parts not the individuals ability thats why u2 are great!
Who cares about whose better than who, or who isnt as good as who...cant we just appreciate the music for what it is. It has passion, it has a little soul, has a good feel, some melodic notes, a nice driving beat. Its not haulin ass, but it isnt to slow....Its good music. It takes an open mind to appreciate different styles and techniques weather they're what your into or not....
The Edge is great charachretistic fgguitarist and i am notonly one who thinks so jimmy page thinks so too :D He is unique But i think that he s styyle of playing is very similar to David Gilmours
I kind of dislike how U2 changed this song so much. The original version sounded so much better during the Joshua Tree tour. When Edge's guitar solo started, it sounded like a different song.

The lyrics were inspired by Bono's trip to Central America in 1985 as part of Amnesty International. He visited El Salvador, where he stayed with a group of guerillas in the middle of the mountains in the north of the country, which is where he got the idea for this song. "Mothers Of The Disappeared" also came out of that trip. (thanks, Alexis - San Salvador, El Salvador)
Great version......Bonehead even admitted that he might have gotten it wrong concerning US in Cent. Am. so dont worry about the lyrics. Yes he did , by the way.
I love the song but their Irish and so pro american war. "...into the arms.. of America"??? I guess sounds better than "..into the arms... of the IRA"
@lg123xyz - I suspect you missed the point - it is a significant anti-war song. To pick up on the second verse - the Jewish rabbis have a metaphor for the Jacob story where he wrestles with the angel. he struggles, is exhausted and tiring and in the end his hip is injured. it hurts. And he walks away limping. When you wrestle with something you end up walking away limping. And some have no limp because they haven't wrestled. It's an interesting metaphor to drop into a song of this nature
@lg123xyz Where do you think the refugees of any war the U.S.A. perpetrates on any country in the last 50 years go to? Korea? Vietnam? El Salvador? Iraq? First we bomb them, then we let them come here to do the jobs white people aren't willing to do. That's the whole point of the song, and ultimately of the whole album, the 2 Americas, one that punches you in the face, and the other that offers the blanket and the pat on the shoulder.
Sepultura covered this song in 2003. U2 wrote and recorded this song in 1987 on their Joshua Tree album. Septultura's version is a good cover, but I'll take the original!
Edge can still get after it in the minor pentatonic... but his slide skills, effects and pedal mix are what make him a musical genius. People can knock it all they want, but they're ignorant of what kind of artistry goes into what he does.
Alas this is when Bono started to look like a nob, that and the (cringe) the backward baseball cap with the president. But until NLOTH the best band band in the world. Please come back, another album like that and your finished.
@twochordcool I'm afraid I can't listen to it. It's just not them, there are moments of brilliance but its just horrible. Then again they needed a flop as they were to arrogant and who could blame them nothing could stop them. Also if they woke up and lost there faith I reckon we would have a brilliant album out of them, dark and fresh.
@arniemazmax NLOTH is quite different and probably not their strongest, but it has a few songs that I like a lot - Breathe, Magnificent, Unknown Caller, Stand Up Comedy, FEZ, Cedars of Lebanon...
@twochordcool, its all down to personal taste isn't it? I would concede U2 on a bad day is better than most bands on a good day, but I don't understand why Bono is singing high screaming songs which he can no longer sustain.Achtung Baby is mostly mid range, no screaming, melodic, its what they are not doing and so distinctive U2 Awesome. And not so obviously cheesy praise Jesus crap. I feel there religious and political views are getting in the way of there craft. I wouldnt tell bono that :))
@arniemazmax "Praise Jesus crap"? The Joshua Tree is one of the greatest albums ever, and it is full of praise towards Jesus. Whether or not you are a Christian, you must realize that Bono's singing about someone he is passionate about, and that only helps the music...
...and likewise, his political views, whether you agree or not, give him something worthwhile to sing about. His faith and political views only help his craft.
@irishbug14I agree he is very "inspired" but I raise a flag and question the rationale of an individual when a world view includes the notion of invisible forces guiding and leading them. Delusion of this magnitude, belief without evidence (supernaturalism) can and I argue has damaged their credibility somewhat, obviously effected there craft, their religious and political zeal has alienated a large proportion of their audience. NLOTH is a product from a band that has lost their way
@arniemazmax Well, not to attack your beliefs either, or lack thereof, but do you have any proof that there is no supernatural force out there, or as I believe and so does Bono, God? You don't have proof, but neither do I; you see none, so you believe there is no god, but through all I see in the world, I believe God must be there...this world and its beauty can't be just random.
Enough religious discussion...the Edge is no Hendrix or Clapton, but his signature style is beautiful here.
@irishbug14 U2 are massive but latest NLOTH sales were disappointing which to be fair they acknowledged. Bono comes in for allot of criticism and some of it is not without due cause. Religiosity is a turn off for many and when private belief systems become “evangelical” subtlety and credibility can be damaged. Political campaigning also can portray U2’s charismatic front man as a “media whore”.
@irishbug14 Bono said “two bad albums and we are finished being relevant” that’s harsh but I take him seriously...and that is worrying, I would argue and going on sale figures U2 are 50% there. So I hope its sober rational scepticism and talent that U2 employ when writing there next album and not a self indulgent attempt to offer up to some self deceived notion of a supernatural guiding inner voice.
@arniemazmax Yeah, because "sober rational scepticism" is what /really/ produces good music. Btw, asserting that belief in God is like belief in "fairies, trolls, witches, big foot, Loch Ness Monster" etc. is itself a positive claim that, by your own lights, requires evidence.
@JonKrotch I'm afraid belief or lack of is not a 50/50 thing and down to accepting the evidence or refuting it this deception is swept away with the sobering fact that there is no evidence for an all knowing celestial dictator, or fairies etc. The burden of proof lies with those putting forth such a proposition.Your best bet and all you have to go by is that the bible ( or any text claiming supernaturalism) is an article of faith (belief without evidence) and has to be taken as such.
@arniemazmax Why do you think there's no evidence? Check out this link and study each argument carefully: philosophyofreligion . info / theistic-proofs / . And by your own definition of faith, you have to admit that you have faith, too. You have faith that your reason is reliable. If you disagree, try proving that your reasoning powers are reliable. You can't, because you immediately get tangled up in question-begging.
@JonKrotch There is no evidence as we are dealing with supernaturalism, miracles, fairies, deities etc. We are pattern seeking creatures that in the infancy of our species when we didn't know what caused earthquakes, disease etc supernaturalism was the best we could do. As for the mythical accounts in self proclaimed holy texts a mere modern scientific glance reveals that they are just that mythical accounts unfortunately for better and for worse it’s hard to drop this pattern seeking habit.
@arniemazmax Identifying the origin of a belief doesn't discredit the belief; that's the genetic fallacy. So even if religion /is/ a product of pattern-seeking tendencies, that doesn't mean it's wrong. And even before the scientific revolution, Aquinas & co. pointed to God as the /ultimate/ cause for why anything exists, not just the reason for why isolated unexplainable natural events occur. Reality requires a sustainer (God), but that doesn't mean that God must be a primitive God of the gaps.
@JonKrotch 1) Depends what you mean by belief for example if we know nothing of rainy seasons and if every time we get together paint ourselves and dance naked around a fire and it rains we may believe that the two are related and the gods are pleased and our pattern is created. On the other hand forming a habit of being cautious around a waterhole less an Alligator eats you is forming a patternof belief based on evidence of a very physical evidential provable demonstrable risk.
@JonKrotch 2) How does reality require a sustainer. Mankind’s history is a battle for survival, the majority have lost, 97% of our planets water is undrinkable, most of the planet is either to hot or too cold dry/ wet. 99.9% of all species have already gone extinct. Some design some designer.How could the claim ever be that a sustainer or designer was loving? Caring, competent or just? I am grateful there is no evidence for such an abhorrent proposition.
@arniemazmax Why do we use carbon dating to date rocks? The implicit assumption there is that the laws of nature have always operated as they do today; but why assume that? Why not think that the laws were very different back then, and that they changed to what we see today? Why assume that the laws of the universe are the same everywhere? There's no reason for this to be true, yet it's a very intuitive and powerful assumption. The best grounds for it is a designer; a sustainer of reality.
@JonKrotch Running with the designer concept simply doesn't explain anything, it doesn't help us in any way only complicates things further. Where did this designer come from? How? And by whom? And where did they come from and so on and for so forth. If this is a divine plan he is either grossly lazy, inept incompetent or unbelievably callous, cruel, indifferent and capricious and that is the case for every argument from design. 99.9% of extinction is hardly sustaining.
@arniemazmax First, you don't need to explain something for it to be a good explanation. For instance, if someone says that the Druids built Stonehenge, it'd be a bit silly to say that since we can't say where the Druids came from, therefore the Druids did not build Stonehenge. Second, by definition, God does not have a cause, since he's a necessary being and the foundation of reality. Finally, you haven't responded to my argument: how do you explain the orderliness of nature without a designer?
@JonKrotch 1) “First, you don't need to explain something for it to be a good explanation”??? Yes you do else you’re not explaining anything. Your central argument is that you can’t have something improbable without a design ...and then you magic up the most improbable thing ever imagined a complicated all powerful all knowing limitless supernatural entity ...that just magically and conveniently spontaneously bursts into existence (puff) without a designer him/herself.
@JonKrotch 2)So your contradicting your own argument...it also if you really think about it dangerously shuts any line of wonder and enquiry down. If we stick a divine label on anything we don’t understand we will go whistling down the path not having learned anything and carry on dancing naked at Stonehenge trying to seduce the rain deity.
@JonKrotch 3)Going with your example of Stonehenge we don’t have enough evidence to say who built Stonehenge and therefore do not jump to conclusions we gather any evidence and can speculate sure but we can’t come up with a sound theory as we simply don’t presently have enough to go on. We don’t say the Druids worshipped there so they built it. That would be unscientific unreliable and purely speculative and leaves you wide open to make massive erroneous leaps.
@JonKrotch 4)“God does not have a cause, since he's a necessary being and the foundation of reality” Says who? What evidence are you basing this on? And which supernatural entity are you speculating on Bacchus Thor Apollo Zeus Wotan the Flying Spaghetti monster Allah all are equal candidates in the land of make believe.As a self subjugated slave which divine dictator appeals to you? The one your parents choose for you? Your towns, county, nation?
@JonKrotch 5) I wonder who would have been your god 8000 years ago. (Side note you mentioned the reliability of carbon dating which it is within 58000- 63000 yrs this renders any young earth 6000 yrs as laughable fiction.)
@JonKrotch 6) While it is true that certain environment and building blocks are necessary to support life. It is naive and simplistic to deny the true nature of things for there is chaos disorder and randomness. Where is the design in Tsunamis Earthquakes Asteroid impacts Ice Ages diseases low child birth survival rates etc. Where is the divine sustainers’ plan in the 99.9% of all species now extinct?
@JonKrotch 7)I’ll say it again If this is a divine plan he is either grossly lazy, inept incompetent or unbelievably callous, cruel, indifferent and capricious and that is the case for every nonsensical argument from design.
@irishbug14 As to talking to imaginary friends the burden of “proof” is on those making the claim for there existence. I don’t believe in fairies, trolls, witches, big foot, Loch Ness Monster, Bacchus, Yahweh, Apollo, Thor, Beelzebub angels, demons and any form of supernaturalism etc not because I don’t wish to but simply because there has never been put forth any convincing evidence for there existence.
@irishbug14 Evidentially the world has no loving supernatural being/s looking out for it...if there was Bono wouldn’t need to be campaigning for African debt relief. It’s tempting to look at the beauty of the world and stand back in awe but by the same measure you can’t blind yourself however tempting and ignore the horrors. Indifferent, random acts resulting in different effects benefiting some crippling others....who’s “preeking” now?
@irishbug14 Don't we have enough pop/rock stars singing about sex drugs alcohol drugs lust debauchery anyway.... so they sing about spiritual stuff mixed with a particular worldview that is what makes them interesting. and just like any human being they are allowed to change there minds and put their focus on whatever they want..... its not hypocrisy ...its human nature to change and grow over time. they are performance artists. Bono makes fun of himself alot....which is endearing to me
The god I believe in would actually like a bit of a sub until he can get back on his feet again after being kicked out of the mens shelter for excessive night-time masturbation. His name is TRAMPO the one true god! Meths is his holy blood and discarded pizza crust his body. Pray to TRAMPO for Bono to stop being a pretentious self important dickhead who wears sunglasses indoors while preaching shite about global warming. PRAY TO HIM!!!!!!!!! Or not it's up to you really but could you spare a £?
U2 is, in anyones terms, an excellent, tight band...very talented. But I'm not fond of this version, just doesnt sound right for some reason. I like that old, NASTIER version, that frickin rocked!
Guitarist of 24 years here. The Edge demonstrated control, poise, phrasing and a ton of style. There of plenty of "technically" better guitarists out there, but when a solo slowly talks, then sings it is spectacular. The Edge has more talent in his little finger than anybody sitting here slagging him off. I could only hope that I will have as much time to play as he does one day in my life. Ask 10 top guitarists whether they rate him and they will answer "Yes!". Listen and learn!!
@theorganicweb I play as well and the older I get the less speed I see as necessary. Joe satriani and others have a niche, but speed and fast playing isn't the key. Play from the heart and you will be good and maybe great.
@theorganicweb I agree with you! If people rate the Edge only by his solo's then they are very close minded. The Edge's main talent comes by the fantastic and unique way he uses delay and reverb and such. Speaking of which, the Edge is UNIQUE and has a sound which is completely his own, unlike most technically better guitarists.
Stop Complaining about Edge using the damn whah pedal. Tom Morello Become the 23rd greatest guitarrist of all times by using different pedals to make crazy sounds, besides pedals gives the guitar a polish sound
@martimas, just because you're an amazing guitarist doesn't mean you have to play some ridiculous hard rock driven speed solo, the best solos are the ones that fit in the song. That's what the Edge does. Too many bands go through the progression of Verse-Chorus-Verse-Chorus-Solo-Chorus-End. The guitar solo NEEDS to be in there to them. U2 is all about the one body of the song, not the individual parts. That's why they are amazing.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
You got 2 be kidding Edge ruined that song with a crappy solo he should of kept it going with the slide and wah pedal. Ah who cares the band is over rated anyway.
U2 and Bono are socialist un-Americans jerks. They make money selling records to morons that hate the US or don't have the intelligence to understand the issue.
thank you PH for making these videos availaible to us so we can listen and watch videos with quality sound... though bootlegs provide cool perspectives from the person shooting it. Love ya, see ya on July 12th in Philly. We are taking the 3 kids, it is my 100% Irish wifes Christmas present from last year. I'm an acquantiance of Kevins... saw the Liberty medal photos...
Really don't care what U2 says about other people I just love their music! The Edge is one of my favorite guitar players! I may love a ton of bands lol but The Edge is not only a effects guitarist but also a great techincal player! I love the solo in this song!
Bono is such a chump. what is he doing with the Star of David on his forehead. He puts his own fame ahead of being a Catholic. Just another Rock and Roll Phony
I think Bono's depiction of the religious symbols on the headband that covers his eyes is symoblic of how these labels, thoughts, beliefs can blind us, creating an 'us' and 'them', such as "Catholic" or "Jewish", etc.
@LSD108 Oh gee, how fucking smart of Bono. Is he all inclusive? If he is so against "us and them" viewpoints, why does he go out of his way to disrespect those he disagrees with? Why does he disrespect Charlton Heston and the NRA? Fuck Bono and fuck his fans - may they know real pain

U2 and Bono continue their anti-American hate. This song focuses on how "evil" the struggle against Communism in Central America was. I wish Bono could go live in a prison camp in North Korea to see what the Communism he loves so much is all about.

To pick up on the second verse - the Jewish rabbis have a metaphor for the Jacob story where he wrestles with the angel. he struggles, is exhausted and tiring and in the end his hip is injured. it hurts. And he walks away limping. When you wrestle with something you end up walking away limping. And some have no limp because they haven't wrestled. It's an interesting metaphor to drop into a song of this nature

@lg123xyz Where do you think the refugees of any war the U.S.A. perpetrates on any country in the last 50 years go to? Korea? Vietnam? El Salvador? Iraq? First we bomb them, then we let them come here to do the jobs white people aren't willing to do. That's the whole point of the song, and ultimately of the whole album, the 2 Americas, one that punches you in the face, and the other that offers the blanket and the pat on the shoulder.

Edge can still get after it in the minor pentatonic... but his slide skills, effects and pedal mix are what make him a musical genius. People can knock it all they want, but they're ignorant of what kind of artistry goes into what he does.

@twochordcool, its all down to personal taste isn't it? I would concede U2 on a bad day is better than most bands on a good day, but I don't understand why Bono is singing high screaming songs which he can no longer sustain.Achtung Baby is mostly mid range, no screaming, melodic, its what they are not doing and so distinctive U2 Awesome. And not so obviously cheesy praise Jesus crap. I feel there religious and political views are getting in the way of there craft. I wouldnt tell bono that :))
arniemazmax 1 year ago
@arniemazmax "Praise Jesus crap"? The Joshua Tree is one of the greatest albums ever, and it is full of praise towards Jesus. Whether or not you are a Christian, you must realize that Bono's singing about someone he is passionate about, and that only helps the music...
...and likewise, his political views, whether you agree or not, give him something worthwhile to sing about. His faith and political views only help his craft.
irishbug14 1 year ago 2
@irishbug14I agree he is very "inspired" but I raise a flag and question the rationale of an individual when a world view includes the notion of invisible forces guiding and leading them. Delusion of this magnitude, belief without evidence (supernaturalism) can and I argue has damaged their credibility somewhat, obviously effected there craft, their religious and political zeal has alienated a large proportion of their audience. NLOTH is a product from a band that has lost their way
arniemazmax 1 year ago
@arniemazmax Well, not to attack your beliefs either, or lack thereof, but do you have any proof that there is no supernatural force out there, or as I believe and so does Bono, God? You don't have proof, but neither do I; you see none, so you believe there is no god, but through all I see in the world, I believe God must be there...this world and its beauty can't be just random.
Enough religious discussion...the Edge is no Hendrix or Clapton, but his signature style is beautiful here.
irishbug14 1 year ago
@irishbug14 U2 are massive but latest NLOTH sales were disappointing which to be fair they acknowledged. Bono comes in for allot of criticism and some of it is not without due cause. Religiosity is a turn off for many and when private belief systems become “evangelical” subtlety and credibility can be damaged. Political campaigning also can portray U2’s charismatic front man as a “media whore”.
arniemazmax 1 year ago
@irishbug14 Bono said “two bad albums and we are finished being relevant” that’s harsh but I take him seriously...and that is worrying, I would argue and going on sale figures U2 are 50% there. So I hope its sober rational scepticism and talent that U2 employ when writing there next album and not a self indulgent attempt to offer up to some self deceived notion of a supernatural guiding inner voice.
arniemazmax 1 year ago
@arniemazmax Yeah, because "sober rational scepticism" is what /really/ produces good music. Btw, asserting that belief in God is like belief in "fairies, trolls, witches, big foot, Loch Ness Monster" etc. is itself a positive claim that, by your own lights, requires evidence.

@JonKrotch The burden of evidence lies on you
arniemazmax 1 year ago
@JonKrotch I'm afraid belief or lack of is not a 50/50 thing and down to accepting the evidence or refuting it this deception is swept away with the sobering fact that there is no evidence for an all knowing celestial dictator, or fairies etc. The burden of proof lies with those putting forth such a proposition.Your best bet and all you have to go by is that the bible ( or any text claiming supernaturalism) is an article of faith (belief without evidence) and has to be taken as such.
arniemazmax 1 year ago
@arniemazmax Why do you think there's no evidence? Check out this link and study each argument carefully: philosophyofreligion . info / theistic-proofs / . And by your own definition of faith, you have to admit that you have faith, too. You have faith that your reason is reliable. If you disagree, try proving that your reasoning powers are reliable. You can't, because you immediately get tangled up in question-begging.
JonKrotch 1 year ago
@JonKrotch There is no evidence as we are dealing with supernaturalism, miracles, fairies, deities etc. We are pattern seeking creatures that in the infancy of our species when we didn't know what caused earthquakes, disease etc supernaturalism was the best we could do. As for the mythical accounts in self proclaimed holy texts a mere modern scientific glance reveals that they are just that mythical accounts unfortunately for better and for worse it’s hard to drop this pattern seeking habit.
arniemazmax 1 year ago
@arniemazmax Identifying the origin of a belief doesn't discredit the belief; that's the genetic fallacy. So even if religion /is/ a product of pattern-seeking tendencies, that doesn't mean it's wrong. And even before the scientific revolution, Aquinas & co. pointed to God as the /ultimate/ cause for why anything exists, not just the reason for why isolated unexplainable natural events occur. Reality requires a sustainer (God), but that doesn't mean that God must be a primitive God of the gaps.
JonKrotch 2 months ago
@JonKrotch 1) Depends what you mean by belief for example if we know nothing of rainy seasons and if every time we get together paint ourselves and dance naked around a fire and it rains we may believe that the two are related and the gods are pleased and our pattern is created. On the other hand forming a habit of being cautious around a waterhole less an Alligator eats you is forming a patternof belief based on evidence of a very physical evidential provable demonstrable risk.

@JonKrotch 2) How does reality require a sustainer. Mankind’s history is a battle for survival, the majority have lost, 97% of our planets water is undrinkable, most of the planet is either to hot or too cold dry/ wet. 99.9% of all species have already gone extinct. Some design some designer.How could the claim ever be that a sustainer or designer was loving? Caring, competent or just? I am grateful there is no evidence for such an abhorrent proposition.
arniemazmax 2 months ago
@arniemazmax Why do we use carbon dating to date rocks? The implicit assumption there is that the laws of nature have always operated as they do today; but why assume that? Why not think that the laws were very different back then, and that they changed to what we see today? Why assume that the laws of the universe are the same everywhere? There's no reason for this to be true, yet it's a very intuitive and powerful assumption. The best grounds for it is a designer; a sustainer of reality.
JonKrotch 2 months ago
@JonKrotch Running with the designer concept simply doesn't explain anything, it doesn't help us in any way only complicates things further. Where did this designer come from? How? And by whom? And where did they come from and so on and for so forth. If this is a divine plan he is either grossly lazy, inept incompetent or unbelievably callous, cruel, indifferent and capricious and that is the case for every argument from design. 99.9% of extinction is hardly sustaining.
arniemazmax 2 months ago
@arniemazmax First, you don't need to explain something for it to be a good explanation. For instance, if someone says that the Druids built Stonehenge, it'd be a bit silly to say that since we can't say where the Druids came from, therefore the Druids did not build Stonehenge. Second, by definition, God does not have a cause, since he's a necessary being and the foundation of reality. Finally, you haven't responded to my argument: how do you explain the orderliness of nature without a designer?
JonKrotch 2 months ago
@JonKrotch 1) “First, you don't need to explain something for it to be a good explanation”??? Yes you do else you’re not explaining anything. Your central argument is that you can’t have something improbable without a design ...and then you magic up the most improbable thing ever imagined a complicated all powerful all knowing limitless supernatural entity ...that just magically and conveniently spontaneously bursts into existence (puff) without a designer him/herself.
arniemazmax 2 months ago
@JonKrotch 2)So your contradicting your own argument...it also if you really think about it dangerously shuts any line of wonder and enquiry down. If we stick a divine label on anything we don’t understand we will go whistling down the path not having learned anything and carry on dancing naked at Stonehenge trying to seduce the rain deity.
arniemazmax 2 months ago
@JonKrotch 3)Going with your example of Stonehenge we don’t have enough evidence to say who built Stonehenge and therefore do not jump to conclusions we gather any evidence and can speculate sure but we can’t come up with a sound theory as we simply don’t presently have enough to go on. We don’t say the Druids worshipped there so they built it. That would be unscientific unreliable and purely speculative and leaves you wide open to make massive erroneous leaps.

Guitarist of 24 years here. The Edge demonstrated control, poise, phrasing and a ton of style. There of plenty of "technically" better guitarists out there, but when a solo slowly talks, then sings it is spectacular. The Edge has more talent in his little finger than anybody sitting here slagging him off. I could only hope that I will have as much time to play as he does one day in my life. Ask 10 top guitarists whether they rate him and they will answer "Yes!". Listen and learn!!

@martimas, just because you're an amazing guitarist doesn't mean you have to play some ridiculous hard rock driven speed solo, the best solos are the ones that fit in the song. That's what the Edge does. Too many bands go through the progression of Verse-Chorus-Verse-Chorus-Solo-Chorus-End. The guitar solo NEEDS to be in there to them. U2 is all about the one body of the song, not the individual parts. That's why they are amazing.
