The Fly
I think it's fair to say that ABOY is probably in the running to be played on SNL this weekend. After listening to the band play it during the BBC interview, it sounds to me like there are 2 guitars being played during this song; a "lead" part and the rhythm part (or either I'm very, very wrong). This begins around the middle part of the song. So, either Bono is playing one of the parts, or it is pre-recorded, or a sequencer, hidden man, etc.
This is nothing new for U2 and has been done many times before; the live version of Gone comes to mind........Edge plays the rhythm part while the lead also plays. It has never bothered me personally, and still doesn't. But my question is this:
With all the fallout over the Ashlee Simpson crap, do you guys think they will catch any flak if they play ABOY this way?
And, if it turns out that Bono was actually playing also, or that my ears are deceiving me and there is no second guitar part, this whole question is moot, so my apologies.
