[wairuauriaw]

that was sick,.,., why he capo - are you in d?

[Normthedrummer]

Mate, you are the dog's bollocks - nice ac30 sound too. If you ever feel the urge to tour I'm a serious wanna be larry mullen jnr - been playin those dublin beats for 25 years, have numerous drum kits and Im based in UK.

[23Vanguard23]

Excellent! You should try this again but with a keyboard like The Edge does. I really love watching him do that. 5/5 on the guitar playing for you!

[divaldes]

Always quiet.....

[troy2067]

[plugg440]

[RandyEats12]

[juanabcdefg]

[drcpilotflyer]

ok dude that rocked!!!!! great tone and great playing and i am glad to see you dri nking coffee instead of whiskey.you have been blessed with a talent and do not ever stop. best cover on u tube

[ANEMYLLAB]

Ach sorry,pal.I was only having a bit o fun,Didn't mean to wind you up.

I honestly like your stuff.I can must say I was drinking something other than coffee on Saturday night!

Apologies - no offence intended - I will crawl back under the stone from whence I came!

[ANEMYLLAB]

Dont show boat..you didn't write it.

Your good,but dont drink coffee and wink,

youre not that good!

[WannaBeTheEdge]

For f****'s sake I'm having a bit of fun. Can't you see that? A little light moment coz I ain't got a keyboard to play the piano part. What should I do then, stand motionless and expressionless like a twat or would you like to see me slaughtering kittens???? Some people don't have even a trace of a sense of humour!! And what does 'Don't show boat' mean? Don't drink coffee and wink - F*** ME!! Have a nice day.

[himynameischrisAVA]

I never use this phrase as i hate it, but theres nothing else to say except "you just got owned, EPIC FAIL DUDE" HAHAHA dont diss this guy, he's the best

[ninchia]

@ANEMYLLAB for one showboating is saying your the best and even if your not its showing off in a snobbish way and if u have the balls to say tht to him i wanna see u play something better than him srsly...

[smilejeep]

@ANEMYLLAB ........ANYONE that can play a guitar like that can "drink coffee" and "wink" when they bloody well feel like it!....THIS young man is not just a WANNABE he's doing his thing.....NOW it's up to you to sip on YOUR coffee and "airguitar " along with him as you aimlessly.....pointlsessly criticize the talented.

[uconnthabeet55]

the best u2 cover that i can find. that goes for all of your songs. great job!!

[deanej10]

Do get on your boots!!

[WeCanBeAsOne]

You are my God.

[numb1starwarsfan]

[plugg440]

Dude, you f.... rock! You are so blessed to have the skills others don't possess. You have no idea how much I'd love to pick up a guitar and jam to my favorite U2 songs. God Bless You and Keep on JAMMIN'!

[WannaBeTheEdge]

You are very kind - bless YOU!! I will upload some new videos in the new year with better sound quality. I don't know about picture quality because YouTube are crap in this department. Peace!!

[deanej10]

I know the feeling, I have a guitar and all I can play is a bit from The Ocean, this guy is a  genius!

[g33kg4m3r]

The best U2 cover on utube...

[BamiNami]

Awesome!!

Can you describe your gear?

[WannaBeTheEdge]

Thank you. Gibson LP Studio - Boss GT6 - Peavey Amp.

[eeuuggee]

yeah..U2 BEST BAND EVER, LOVE THEM

[javiercristian06]

you just need a wannabe Bono, a wannabe clayton and a wannabe mullen and you could make the wannabe U2 band.

[deanej10]

I will be Bono lol

[guitarheroant]

[INFONAVIT]

[cherokeewarrior]

Dude as a huge fan of U2 since before they even hit the US I gotta say Holy Shit Nice!!!!!

FYI U2 will surpass the BEATLES as a band

You can take that to the bank!!!

Keep Rockin

[JIMMYJIBLETS]

im a massive U2 fan....but i know that will never happen my friend hahaha

[yourbudjerry]

Great job.... What effects pedals are you using...?

[WannaBeTheEdge]

Hi and thank you. I use the Boss GT6 multi effects unit through an old Peavey transistor amp.

[chavesx03]

you play it just like he did in U2 3D

[WoWPedde]

almost like the Edge!!

[natureboy301]

Braaaaaaaaaaavo

[Eucharistfreak227]

You match the song so well, if I closed my eyes I'd think I was listening to the Edge live. Pretty frickin amazing if you ask me.

[deanej10]

Genius

[u2MRtheFLY]

awesome job man!

[RushOrbit]

IT'S COOL MAN, BUT... THE ORGINAL SONG DOESN'T SONG DOESN'T HAVE THAT MUCH DISTORSION, BUT NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING ORIGINAL. Awesome man! Keep it up. Now learn the "ooh, hoo!"---KEEP IT UP!

[WannaBeTheEdge]

Hi and thank you!! I didn't base this around the original version. Listen to any number of live versions and you'll hear the heavier distortion. Peace!

[jimmycfl]

Darren, you are right on. U2 always sounds great in the studio, but they are one of the few bands that takes their live performances to the next level by adding their true personalities. I LOVE U2 live and man, you hit it every time :)!

[cieranf]

I hope the Neighbours are u2 fans ,

sounds great keep it up ,

[whitpooh]

I likey... ;-)

[GunnarChe]

U MUST SING "o ho hoo hoo"

[hanging1v]

PISH

[Childinyou]

Yup, I'm pretty sure I can imagine the Edge reaching for a mug of coffee mid concert

[jaeger28]

while he is playing the piano parts? *scratch*

[Childinyou]

He's just that awesome

[cleckioli]

wot can i say again totally awesome !!!!!

[angelothk]

coffee, water ??

[WannaBeTheEdge]

Coffee;^D

[james007magic]

Thanks

[rgbvirtual]

Great song!! Great guitar player!!!

[shockn2000]

You gotta play the piano too if you want to be like Edge.

[WannaBeTheEdge]

Yes indeedy-do!!

[MiloKamilo24]

Could You tell me what a high-note do You hit when chorus begins?

[WannaBeTheEdge]

Do you mean when Bono sings, "I will be with you again"? I play the open high E string to fill the gap just before the vocal starts.

[Farafonov]

Perfect sound! Perfect playing!

[emericask8er587]

u should give me your les paul i love it

[MiloKamilo24]

It's quite cheap, new one costs less than 300$

[emericask8er587]

the ones ive always saw were freaking anywhere from like $1000 and up XD

[huntercentury]

You need to do the "Iiiiii" parts during the chorus. Then it would be PERFECT. ;) Seriously, though, I so enjoy all of your songs. Your passion for the music shines through. Keep up the awesome work.

[paulie1982]

Excellent, although i personally think the live in slane version would've been better, less waiting around and shows more Edge skill

[jrdturbo]

Again, awesome job from one of the biggest U2 fans on the planet! Do you by chance have a Gibson Explorer? I heard that's one of Edge's faves among all the guitars he has!

[derek533]

Awesome job. Love the coffee drinking.

[RattleAndHum1988]

Haha. This is a great cover. My favorite part was the beginning while the backing track was doing the piano, and you just stood there drinking coffee and tapping your finger on your guitar neck. haha. Rock on dude.

[mbcastard]

dude you gotta play the piano parts like the edge stop drinking coffee. none the less you are very good God bless you.

[U266]

Awesome - Tab it out please?

[WannaBeTheEdge]

Thanks!! I don't have enough spare time to play guitar let alone tab it out aswell!!;^D

Tiiiiiiiime, won't leave me as I am!! (COBL).

[mcfistoU2]

:o) you are a funny and nice person :o)

and the gitarsolo 100% right!

thats one of the best gitarsolo's around.

hey, how old are you and since when you started playing the gitar? i'am 26 years old, is it to late to learn to play???

greetings from belgium!

[WannaBeTheEdge]

Hi there mate. All the best from England!! Thankyou so much for your kind words. I'm 35 and I started playing when I was 19 and NO NO NO NO, it's never ever too late to start learning to play. PLEASE GO FOR IT!!;^D

[cajunlightning]

great job.... awesome

[CoolDude8675309]

do you have guitar tab by any chance for this song?

[WannaBeTheEdge]

Sorry, I don't have any tabs for these songs written down.

[pamano]

hey do you have all those gadgets that Edge use to make those effects or you just use a computer?

[WannaBeTheEdge]

I just use the guitar, Boss GT6 and an amp. The backing tracks are played on the computer. Thanks.

[dz09876]

lolz at teh drinkin part. but yea it sounds almost teh same. great job. i wish i culd play like that.

[MiloKamilo24]

Great video!:)

[green802]

Ok if we're gonna have a "Who's the oldest u2'ee" competition. ;¬)(Joke).

I discovered October in 1982 @16. A girl I was trying to get to know raved about U2. She's long gone but U2 are still wherever I go.

Play on dude. You're good !

[munkstermann]

ur better at being the edge than himself ^^

[kukkanainen37]

Nice....How long have you liked their beautiful music????????? I was 16 when I discovered them, and still they have a deep affect upon me.

[WannaBeTheEdge]

Hi and thankyou. I was 17 when I was given a copy of the Joshua Tree but it wasn't until 1991 when I really started getting hooked. Since then U2's music has been a way of life. I can't go too long without listening and getting my 'fix'. Cheers!

[Kdmoo]

Great stuff Wanna- You and Sherm911 are my favorite youtube Edge players. The coffee mug is a great touch hehe.

[WannaBeTheEdge]

Yeah, until I learn the piano bit that's all I can do ;^D Thanks for your post!!

[yankeesfan571]

The Boss ME-50 also is pretty good for beginners

[martyfriedman86]

awesome!

i really like the way you go up the neck in the harmonics part.

and the solo tone was incredible!

congrats!

[toshikoga]

oops, just read back a few comments, well it was funny when i thought it :) keep up the good work

[toshikoga]

why arent you playing the keyboards also? lol

[JonasBridgous]

Nice man!

[AllFuckingNamesTaken]

Your delay is really nice and swashy! You using the GT's built in delay?

[WannaBeTheEdge]

Yes, absolutely. At the moment all my sounds and effects originate from the GT-6. It really is a fantastic unit. I've bought another one off Ebay so I can store each song's various patches so my sounds can be more authentic. Thankyou!!

[greecekostkon]

i would like to know, is the sound effect ONLY form your gt 6 dude? yes vox amps are perfect, and edge knows that! :D great job!! (what is your opinion for gt8?)

[WannaBeTheEdge]

Yes, all my sounds at the moment are from the GT-6 straight into the amp. I would imagine the GT-8 would be a fantastic piece of machinery being a slightly evolved GT-6. I love the unit but I am also considering the Line 6 Pod Pro live floor unit aswell. There's tooooooooooo much to buy. Thankyou!!!

[greecekostkon]

keep up the good work! oh you look like the edge!! 10 points! :D rock on dude!

[stockholm17]

I checking back on you mate, and you are only getting better. This is one of my all time favorite U2 songs. When the video cam out, I got goose bumps on my arms and chills down my spine. I knew this was going to be a huge band. Another reason to admire the Edge — as you are drinking your tea (or coffee) in this song, on stage he "helicopters" to the piano to play the other bits. Keep it up! Great stuff.

[WannaBeTheEdge]

Yeah, I'm learning the piano part at the moment so I will repost a video with that on as soon as!! Should be interesting!! Thankyou for your comments, I really appreciate it.

[Zyke491]

my god your amazing if they needed a replacment for the edge they would no doubtly pick you!

[Spanner234]

Once again you have not failed to deliver. Top effort. Wow.

[Mustang0127]

great job man im gonna have to get u that vid of sbs somtime soon and work on this one too it dont look too hard really i know the solo lol ttyl

[silversoseXy]

You're really doing great, mad props.

[euginis]

Pretty good mate. I'm pretty sure your backing is in a different key from the original since they usually play it in the original key when they perform it live as well. Is that a Les Paul Standard?

[WannaBeTheEdge]

Cheers!! No it's only a LP Studio this one.

[vinyljunkie64]

Another magnificent rendition! Thanks for sharing!

[candorm]

Fantastic job man. You get some of the best Edge sounds out of your limited gear, i love it.

[frankdefoot]

you play Popmart version in the background ?

[WannaBeTheEdge]

No, it's a guitarless backing track.

[zooropa1967]

class of delay? boy, music is complicated... all I know is this sounded really awesome! :)

[migueledge]

Hey what class of delay do you uses and how may mix and feedback do you uses?

[WannaBeTheEdge]

It is a standard delay set to 450ms. The feedback was set to about 50 I think and the level about 70. You don't have to be exact, just not too much, not to little. It's all about experimenting against the real thing until it sounds about right on your unit. That's all I do. Thankyou.
