U2 - The Edge Solo Bullet the Blue Sky Live Hawaii

Clip of The Edge's solo in Bullet the Blue Sky live at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaii. I thought it was interesting he didn't play slide.

I really feel sorry for people who think the edge is a bad guitar player just because he doesn't use speed as his trademark. Playing fast is something everybody can practice and learn, playing innovatively with interesting sounds and being creative is something only a genious does with music.

if your shit you'll sound like shit no matter what

if your good youll sound good no matter what

and the edge sounds fucking awesome

The Edge knows how to wail.

THE EDGE, SAMBORA, JOHN PETRUCCI, RYAN SHECKNER and ERIC CLAPTON!!! my ultime favorite guitarists,, :))

[wakemeup277]

all he does is fucking bend, and does a few little hammer ons! Yeah i get the whole playing slow and soulful...but that dosnt mean holding out 2 notes for 10 seconds at a time. Go look up maggot brain by funkadelic if you want to hear genius. Dare you :P

@stafu83000 I agree, don't get me wrong - but honest innovation and creativity come by means of one's own self and one's own physical and soulfully authentic artistic manifestations, rather than what they put in front of themselves to enhance that which is otherwise them. There is a definite gray area, I acknowledge this, but there is a point at which the use of such things comprises more than the majority of the creative output, or at least the reason for their recognition. The Edge is this.

@stafu83000 i agree but he still sucks

[brossej07]

@stafu83000 Agreed.

For a cool look at The Edge, Jack White and JIMMY PAGE get "It might get loud"... awesome movie.

The Edge has created an unique guitarplaying-style and sound that has influenced dozens of musicians. To be able to do that is simply put genius and pure talent. Like someone said here in the comments, that anyone can practice to become a superfast player... But not anyone can just create something new and distinctive. That's true creation.

@MartinSommerseth2 count me in, its voodoo child in a slower tempo

[MartinSommerseth2]

This song is the truth about the Edge,

He's one of the greatest,

The Guitar of Bullet The Blue Sky sings itself
