Is there anyone here that is annoyed by

[Axver]

Hmmmm... we are definetely not listening to the same album.

No, I think we are. I haven't noticed the chimes because they work cohesively with their songs.

But some of you seem to always need something to complain about, so go ahead and have your fun. It's as if it's impossible for some of you to just enjoy the music for what it is. Your loss.

Christmas Carol

The Edge did some top notch work on this album. He is everywhere on this album with his guitar loud and clear.

I love Edge's sound, and this chime is a big part of his guitar vocabulary.
He plays with his plectrum upside down, so the finger grip gives him this nice "Kerching" sound when he strikes a string.
I say keep on chiming Edge!!!!

Thanks kid, but i'd rather listen to my AB, Zooropa and Pop albums.

That makes two of us.

Yeah I can't think of any song on this album I like that sound on. Esp bad on One Step Closer, which definitely calls for a rawer sound. The overall sound of the album is somewhat annoying really, basically the blandish keyboards all over the place and Edge's abuse of his JT ringing guitars especially after finding out in the 90s what he's capable of doing.

Havent found any reason to fault the chimes being used a lot yet. In fact, I dont think Iv really listened out for them much..

exactly. i like enjoying U2's music more than complaining about it.

It's funny, people say Zooropa has little guitar, they're wrong. Zooropa(song) has tons of it. As does Babyface and Stay. That "Whadda whadda" sound in Lemon, it's a guitar. The high pitch chimey sound on the chorus of SDABTO, it's a guitar as well. The only song w/ little guitar is DGPFYCC, and it's still in there, just processed beyond recognition.

 

[MrBrau1]

Maybe you all think it's chimes, when it's actually Edge creating the sounds w/ his guitar, which it probably is. So people complaing about lack of innovative sounds are actually getting their innovative sounds, they just don't know it.

 

[what a bomb!]

Theres chimes in Pride, surprised no one has mentioned it yet! c'mon people its a U2 trademark!

 

[intedomine]
