Would you prefer Edge to be replaced by someone from Nickleback or some poof band??
No...? That is totally irrelevant.

On WOWY, I think you're confusing the shimmer effect with his Infinite guitar (aka E-Bow). They do use the shimmer effect with MD, SYCMIOYO, etc. on these mini tours.

anU2_Guy said:Edge's guitar sound was always about "not sounding like a guitar".
Edge himself was always telling journalists that his goal was to try to find different sounds that sometimes the listener would not even know it was a guitar sound. That pursue had it's culmination on the 90's records.
But since ATYCLB, Edge's guitar is just the chiming guitar. Not that this is a bad thing at all. It is still brilliant and better than any other guitar.
Why did he give up on distortions, effects, and on the pursue for new sounds?

I disagree on two accounts:
1) AB is full of chiming guitars. The echo effect was HEAVILY used on AB. Nothing really all that "new" there.
2) Edge has a wonderful distortion effect on L&PorE - in fact, I've never heard Edge use this effect!
Sounds like he's still persuing new sounds to me - and that he didn't pursue new sounds in the past as much as some of you claim. Aaaah...once again there's that selective memory that some U2 fans have.
