Bono or Edge

[Pero]

I read somewhere Bono's statement:
"Some of the best lyrics wrote The Edge and some of the best guitar riffs i wrote"
For lyrics it says who wrote them in album book, but for guitar riffs i doesn't.
So, which guitar riff did Bono invevt/made up?

I think Bono plays the guitar solo at the end in Dancing Barefoot.

Otherwise, I think he mostly plays what you hear on the acoustic guitar on the albums.

Don`t we all know by now that our B-Man is not PLAYING guitar but WEARING guitar ?!

 

[hcbiggs2002]

Bono plays the final guitar riff of The Wanderer.

 

[zoopop]

He also plays the intro to Staring At The Sun on the Popmart Mexico video.

I think these kind of jokes are tired.

Yeah, according to Adam, that's Bono's solo.

 

[Azor]

I just noticed that Bono plays some melody in the acoustic performance of SYCMIOYO (HTDAAB dvd)

I love how he forgets the chords during the song (even Edge laughs)

Ever wondered why you dont hear his guitar when playing live most of the time ?

Relax Scoopy, I think he does really look good with a guitar...

 

[ZeroDude]

Yeah, according to Adam, that's Bono's solo.

I'm impressed.

Actually, he's often quite audible, especially on bootlegs.

That`s what I´m talking about...but he`s way under the normal mix. You can hear him if you focus on him but he´s never prominent in the mix.

By the way, I think he`s doing good IF you hear him in the live mix. ( Never talked about studio recordings).

....b/c he plays rhythm guitar. why would he be prominent in the mix even if he was better than Edge?

 

[dr.dae]

this thread sucks... if you don`t want to get it you will not understand my pov.

 

[irishdove]

I am shocked - if that's Bono playing on Dancing Barefoot, that is fantastic

I thought the style sounded a bit different.

Here's a cure for you - get into the ellipse. You'll notice just how loud Bono's amp is. He's below the house mix, yes, but onstage is right in there. That's why I like to be up front!
