I hate the new Edge's mic.

Wow, a lot more reasonable responses regarding the "subterranean keyboard player". I'm liking it...

During The Unknown Caller Bono says "Terry Lawless, take it away" or something like that. I love it but it's kind of weird to introduce a hidden musician, no? Anyway this only proves that hiding musicians was never the idea of the band.

For my first jubilee I'll say it again. http://www.u2interference.com/forums/showpost.php?p=6112651&postcount=84 That's my point. Reread it couple of hundreds of times if you don't get it. And watch the video too. It's very interesting. Goodbye...

I'm in a thread started by another person saying the same thing. Do you people read any of the posts at all? Some of you are asking questions I've already answered ("what's the difference between sequencers and musicians" - that was a tough one - "and what's the big deal, anyway") Not to mention...

So noone can name another band that uses hidden musicians for live shows? Interesting... It doesn't matter, you all have really kewl sigs, smileys and avatars, that's what counts.

I know about that and that's only one of the reasons why I'm certain that hiding musicians isn't the decision of the band. Some PR somewhere thinks it would be "bad for the image" or whatever. Of course Terry doesn't have to be all the way up front, but putting him behind the speakers truly sucks.

In fact that's probably a rehearsal or a demo version and it seems to have a very quiet backing track (or Eno playing keyboards if it's a demo) but the main point is Edge's arrangement for guitar. YouTube - U2 SO CRUEL ( rare version) live Although the piano part in the album version is...

No, I registered because I love U2. That's why this bothers me so. I don't mind sequencers, but I prefer rearranged versions of songs for playing live. There is a great live performance of "So cruel" with a different arrangement for example. I wish they do it with all songs that are difficult...

The audience is being cheated (you can read in the post following yours that there are no hidden musicians, so even the posters in this thread are not sure what's going on and that's exactly the point) and the people playing live while hidden from the audience are being degraded. I'm very well...

Or the Rolling Stones etc... In fact I'm not aware of any other band hiding extra musicians. Why do it at all? And a lot of people don't know it. Moreover, a lot of fans don't know it, believe me. In another forum I have a very hard time convincing a fan that there are hidden musicians on U2...

Birds are animals. Sequencers are machines. Musicians are humans. Don't you think humans should be treated differently? With some dignity, for example? And not get walled in by bunch of speakers to support the myth of "the four man band"? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHZQP1W8gAk&feature=related

I'm new here, but I have to reply to this. Having hidden musicians is simply lame. Period. If someone is playing live, the audience should see him/her. This way it comes off almost like a fraud. Having said that, I must add tham I'm a a huge U2 fan and I'm almost positive that hiding...
