U2 montage

[patbreacadh]

Fantastic sound here. This guitar covers all the pieces you quote here really really well!! Of course your playing is excellent. But what I mean is it's amazing how this axe seems to be able to produce the sound. I want one for X-mas. :-) Is it an actual Gibson 335 or a copy?

[patbreacadh]

@patbreacadh Sorry, I didn't cop on that "Riviera" was the guitar brand... It sounds great! Of course I guess with clean sound, it will never have the air, crispness, and transparency of a strat... so you still need a strat... Still in this clip it's just amazing!

[splaticon5]

Great sound and playing! Can you share some info about amp settings (volume/ reverb level)?

[Ireland61290]

ahhh Zooropa!!! :D

[stirfrycomedy]

Zooropa!!!

[TalkToTheBody]

Do you have a wife Mick? ;D If so she must be very understanding, forget how you get the effects, just tell me the secret to a happy marriage :D

[mick3b1g]

@TalkToTheBody Shes the best!!

[TalkToTheBody]

@mick3b1g Good for you Mick. Good vids you've uploaded there

[shotgunndunn]

@TalkToTheBody Same here man. I've 3 kids now too. Very difficult to spend time sculpting tone.

[TalkToTheBody]

@shotgunndunn Always a problem fitting in the guitar when families are concerned. Also strange when a woman asks you to tone up and you go straight to your guitar, I'll never be able to suss them out :D

[u2dam]

cool i heard zooropa in there

[weebrycey]

would you say this guitar gives you a gretsch-ish tone on a budget? i really love that sound but i cant afford a proper gretsch

[mick3b1g]

No more like a ES335 (jazzy wooddy sound) These pups are 57 classics?? to get a good Gretsch sound id get a set of Filter tron pups.

[tzvielbd]

wow! great sound!

[Soh2k8]

Magnificent sounds! sounds just like edge! Please do a full zooropa or crumbs from your table.

[rattleandhumgirl]

luv this vid, your tone sounds awesome... what effects/amp are you using for discotheque?

[RattleAndHum1988]

Hey dude. Love the vid, i love the zooropa and the crumbs especially. But wire is just awesome! Can you tell me the chord thats played after the single notes? like you play the delay riff, then you play the muted strings, then you play a chord right before the vid ends. When I play this song, I always thought that chord sounded wrong (the one I play) but yours sounds right.

Any help?

[mkutz007]

is this all only AXE-FX with Ac30? thats it?

[gostosochechin]

ohhhh man !!! simply great!!!

[spikelive]

awEsome guitar and awesome cover!!ciao from italy!if u want take a look to my covers(j learned to play guitar and piano by myself 3 years ago!!)

[marc12marc]

What effect are you using on discoteque distorted riff ?? I need that ! great playing as always Mick..

[U2martcom]

Ladies and gentlemen...Even his mother calls him, "The Mick!"

great post. Have a fantastic New Year!!

:)

[waynetravis]

do full Zooropa!!

[Sherm911]

Nice job. That guitar does a lot of different tunes justice. You definitely go for a lot of the same sounds I do. The picking and twanging of notes is awesome. Keep posting. Do some full versions too.

[rudybay]

nice Wire intro man!!!!

nice crumbs as well!!

[emapaposo]

Discotheque!!! Amazing

[u2santos]

I forgot to say: you play Discoteque better than Edge. Absolutely amazing, Congratulations.

U2·4ever.

[wazzumichael]

stop sucking his balls....I mean, yeah...pretty good, but you say 'better than THE Edge'....are you smoking crack?!?!?! There's only one Edge

[u2santos]

OH MY GOD. That's absolutely mind-blowing. A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!!

The riff of Wire sounds soooo good that it seems played by The Edge.

You're God maaan... _O_ !

[euginis]

Did you use standard tuning for "In a Little While?" It doesn't seem like you did but I might be seeing things =)

[shajim]

How Much was the guitar?

it`s nice and you are so dang good at thoes...

[wildwombat88]

my lord... zooropa is awesome, but wire... absolutely fantastic... my regards 2 you mate!

[u2ZOOTV]

[jankstarrk]

[RobeSoupAndTears]

Dude...that was really good.

[Trevorstark]

Sounds amazing! These are the sounds i'm looking for... Fantastic guitar!

[poule1975]

[U2fan003]

I love Discotheque!!! Wish I could play it someday!

Youre great!! Keep it up!!

[craigp1988]

[stilwel]

The Epi Riviera sounds really great there Mick....you're welcome :)

[Kniner7]

Wow....

[Serdel90]

Good job, "crumbs" was brilliant ! Hope you will record some covers and upload ;) Cheers!

[RattleAndHum1988]

Hey man if you dont mind me asking, what effects are you using when you play Discotheque?

[petedechop]

Great as usual, of course(!). I would absolutely love to see more of Wire. A 5-second teaser... well it leaves me hungry for more. Thanks for sharing. EWB

[mick3b1g]

Thanks again. Yes you have a good eye. Its one of those things where you learn a song one way and cant change it after its engrained in your head :)

[euginis]

Love it man, you're spot on. Love your fingerings on In a Little While - not exactly Edge's, but you change it around to make it more efficient with your hammer-ons. Brilliant on Zooropa as well!!! Would love to see the whole clips now, as we enjoy listening to the songs in their entirety.

[supermac30]

Hey mate, that was awesome. Love the sounds keep it up.
