Bono's Guitar

[phillyfan26]

Bono's ZooTV black guitar: bad guitar or worst guitar?

 

[david]

uh what?

Are you talking about the technical aspect of the guitar, like sound?

Or are you just talking about superficial and not really that big of a deal aspect of just how the guitar looked?

He used a Gibson ES-175 I believe and I guess it was fine for what he did during that tour, which was strum it and hold onto it.

 

[BVS]

Yeah, what do you mean?

 

[tpsglick2424]

No clue either...

I like that I FEEL GOOD guitar..

 

[Pero]

i think that the one from last night on earth from mexico dvd was better,nicer, if that' what you mean

 

[pepokiss]

Bono "wears" guitar

 

[Flying FuManchu]

Bono's a better guitarist than what all of you give him credit for, but the guy from Maroon 5 is head and shoulders above Bono as a guitarist...

 

[gareth brown]

he'd better be playing some proper rhythm on the next leg. A few too many songs suffer live through lack of guitar

 

[Lancemc]

You mean BEST guitar ever. Gibson ES-175 man. Black! Fucking brilliant guitar. I want one.

I meant the sound, like on Dirty Day where it sounds like nails on a blackboard, literally?

It looked cool, sounded awful.

 

[schnumi]

It looks great and the sound is unique as well i like it.

And as said above me Bono can play some guitar, he did quite a good job on Staring at the sun for example.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

i prefer the irish falcon

There was a truly butt ugly guitar Bono played in 2001. It's a hollowbody sunburst coloured with a make/shape I have never seen anywhere else. I saw Bono play it on IWF in Tacoma and have never seen a photo from any other gig.

It was also played during the tacoma final soundcheck(as worn by his tech) and I was surprised at how ugly the guitar.

It's actually a very beautiful sounding guitar. Best suited for Jazz though, just Dirty Day.

That's because he was strumming the pick in a certain place, if that is what you were talking about..

If that was what you were talking about, then Edge uses the same thing for Zoo Station..
