Is Edge's opening riff in ABOY "morse code"?

[Knuckle]

Does anyone here know morse code? I swear that Edge's opening riff at the beginning of All Because of You (and later in the bridge) sounds an awful lot like morse code. Granted, I don't know morse code...it just sounds like it to me.

I'm not trying to give this any deeper meaning than just the great rock tune that it is, but it could be an interesting angle. Hmmm.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

yes... it's morse code for "unos, dos, tres, catorce" which in actuallity is a reference to bono's favorite lottery numbers.

You are an idiot

Let's not result to name-calling here - the ABOY question was interesting and relevant.

 

[whackjester]

I agree that you shouldn't name call....... but interesting and relevant? I don't think I'd agree with that.

Two great things about the internet and forums:

1. Freedom of speech. You can excercise freedom of speech anonymously (like I did). It's a great way to exchange ideas.

2. The anonymity of the internet allows people like pittTodd up there to say things to people that they'd never have the guts to say in person.

Enough said. I hope.

Yuup! It's morse code for "A-W-E-S-O-M-E-I-N-T-R-0"!

word on the street is...edge got together with jack black for the intro (imagining jack black air guitaring and making crazy faces and noises that sound like ABOY )

"edge, make a song that'll MELT THEIR FACES!!!"

 

[Reggie Thee Dog]

I thought it was Morse Code for "W-E-L-O-V-E-T-H-E-W-H-O"!

I swear that's what I translated.

To me, that guitar part resembles the sound Fred Flintstone's toes make when he's kick starting his car.

 

[rjhbonovox]

I reckon its morse code for "how the fuc# did we steal this riff and get away with it"

Are you being serious? I don't know.... But if you are that's interesting because Bono says "A love song for The Who" in the Brooklyn performance. Now if you were joking I'll look like a jackass

Haa, I love this thread. This is unbelievable.



As you can hear is playing a single note and the shifted octave of it. Like an FSK-Code ( Frequency Shift Keying).
This is used to encode digital information. In this case when you decode edges guitar as binary code you get:


42 !!!!

 

[ZeroDude]

woah

 

[starsgoblue]

Binary code

It took me a long time breaking it down into dots and dashes and translating, but it in fact is:
"Yabba Dabba Do"

 

[The_Edge89]

"We Love The Who" in Morse code is:
.-- . / .-.. --- ...- . / - .... . / .-- .... ---




"Yabba dabba do" in Morse code is:
-.-- .- -... -... .- / -.. .- -... -... .- / -.. ---


sorry guys

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

haha you know morse code

Wait, isn't that the answer the computer gives in A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? Perhaps Edge remembered the secret of the universe that he lost...

 

[Knuckle]

All right, all right. I think I've been savaged enough. Can someone please put this thread out of its misery?

 

[pianorocker]

Awwww, but we were just starting to have a good time. It really was a valid question, I think. But the thread goes the way the thread will go...

 

[Lancemc]

*aims rifle...and....BAM* if you love someting, set it free...

 

[starsgoblue]

Did you just "Old Yeller" the thread, Lance?

 

[Knuckle]

It's still movin'. Shoot it again Tex.
