Guitars You'd Like To See Edge Play

[Chill Mike D]

I'm going to go with two Gibson extremes.

First, a Firebird VII. I've always loved these weird, gaudy guitars, and so I bought an Epiphone version. Mini-humbuckers are nice and you can pretty much get the #2 and #4 Strat sounds with this guitar.

Then, a Melody Maker. I've only played a few of these and so far think their pickups are a nice middle ground between a P90 and a Telecaster bridge pickup. I bet he could play a couple of his prime Telecaster songs on one of these and have it sound similar but different.

I Would love for him to play his black explorer....It would be cool to see him play a firebird!

 

[Chill Mike D]

May as well make a list:

Black LP custom with a Bigsby. He could borrow Bono's.

Maybe some oddball Gibson hollowbody like a Vegas High Roller:

I'd love to see him play more of his SG(s). He hardly ever uses his except for Elevation. It would be pretty neat to see him use a Gibson ES 137.

 

[Chill Mike D]

Yeah, the Pelham Blue SG is particularly nice. Also, his Jaguar. And on that note Jazzmasters have incredible pickups.

Flying V

 

[Chill Mike D]

Yes. If they ever bust out MoFo again, use a Flying V.

I'd like to see him playing the tobacco Telecaster... and his Gibson LP Cream but the number "1" with black knobs

 

[Niamh_Saoirse]

Flying V

That would be something worth seeing!

I know you mean guitars but I'd love to see Adam play a Hofner 500/1.

EPIC!!!! Edge should play his casino while Adam plays the Hofner!

 

[TheEdge10]

EPIC!!!! Edge should play his casino while Adam plays the Hofner!

And Bono should play a Gretsch Gent or a Rick 325.

I Would love for him to play his black explorer....It would be cool to see him play a firebird!

I agree with both.

I talked to Daniel Lanois' asst. He told me the black Explorer (pic below) belongs to Edge.

I like the walnut Telecaster Custom. That would be one I'd like to see used a bit more.

As for Adam... I wonder if he still had the brown Ibanez Musician bass that he used in the early to mid-1980s?

I'd love to see him play a Les Paul Junior. Nice little guitars!

 

[Edge_Orchestra]

Edge does have a single-pickup / double cut-away Les Paul Jr.

You can see it in the picture below from the book: 'U2 Show'. You can also see that he has a white (as well as his Lake Placid Blue) Fender Jaguar.

It would be cool to see him used the Lake Placid Jaguar too.

Anyone know what video clip / performance from HQ that this photo was taken from? (Photo below)

And as I've mentioned elsewhere, I would love to see Edge p-lay the Pelham Blue Gibson SG.

I'd love to see him play a Les Paul Junior. Nice little guitars!

That is the Electrical Storm video.

 

[Edge_Orchestra]

I don't think that the photo is from 'Electrical Storm" video

That is the Electrical Storm video.

I am pretty sure that the photo that I posted, of Edge with the Jaguar, isn't from the "Electrical Storm" video.

A) The "Electrical Storm" video is all black and white. The photo is in colour

B) Adam is playing a Sherwood Green Fender Jazz bass in the photo but Lakland bass in the video.

It's 100% not from ES video. Since that photo is taken in their studio in Hannover Quay.

But I do not know what song they're playing though. It's the same backdrop and floor and such as the behind the scenes from the HTDAAB 2nd disc.

Didn't they do a promo show from HQ for HTDAAB? Maybe a Jo Whiley thing? Am I remembering that right?

 

[breathe]

Is Edge using a glass slide there?

 

[PhilsFan]

Larry's foot isn't on the bass drum pedal there, so I'm not sure what he's doing.

 

[TheEdge10]

I read it's from the promo video for Electrical Storm. Not the real video.

 

[breathe]

Thats more of the HTDAAB era

 

[Edge_Orchestra]

I read it's from the promo video for Electrical Storm. Not the real video.

Where did you read that? I'm just saying, if it was on a website, pictures are often mislabeled.

The 'video' I posted is the promo video. So I do know that the picture isn't from that video.

Judging by the shirt Edge is wearing... one that I remember seeing him wear during the HTDAAB era... it would seem more likely that the photo is from 2004-2006, not 2003 (when "Electrical Storm" came out).

Larry's foot isn't on the bass drum pedal there, so I'm not sure what he's doing.

Doesn't look like there is a bass drum set up. Looks like just a ride cymbal and snare drum.

Any one else see the slide??????

 

[breathe]

Here is the link.
FENDER - Jaguar - 196x - blue finish

The site says it was used "In" the promo video for ES.

 

[Edge_Orchestra]

Here is the link.
FENDER - Jaguar - 196x - blue finish

That site does not say that the photo is from the video.

What is says is that the Fender Jaguar was used in the "Electrical Storm" promo video. And it was, as seen in the video that I posted.

I'd know, that is the prototype for my U2 Stage and Studio site.

U have a site?
