Freestylin' Friday: Music Rising revisited

[Edge_Orchestra]

Jeff,could you please post more pics of the blue guitar?

Here's a few more. There aren't many to be found. I didn't even know he had this until it was up for auction and showed up in some pre-auction display pictures and the auction catalog pictures.

How I'd have LOVED to have had enough money to have bought it.

It was mentioned in the auction notes that this blue Les Paul had been used on NLOTH sessions. I wonder which song(s)? Dang, I just saw Dallas too! I will have to remember to ask him next time.

This is the only one I've seen of Edge playing it...

Here's the rest of the original few:

I have two theories.

A) A new Gibson Music Rising guitar.
B) A new Icons of Music Auction.

As the twitter and FB posts mentioned they involved Edge (directly), they mentioned a co-founder (That would be Gibson and/or Bob Ezrin), I'm gonna go with "A".

 

[bonocomet]

Ah I don't have Facebook so I didn't see that one, I just figured they meant Edge was the co-founder.

Let it be option A

Let it be option A

Let's just say... a lil birdie said... errrrr... well... "A" could be quite possible. Time will tell.

I know , I'm so exited, tough those Les Pauls in Mardi Grass finish are hard to beat.
Beautifull guitars
And the Music Rising Logo guitars where epic to,
I'd be happy to see more.

Or a music rising Drumkit

That voice

I love how the photo changes in the Now Playing screen as Edge talks about each selection.

Podcast. Cool. Not sure it met the 'Twitter hype' but still cool.

Although legend has it... there is something else in store...

 

[U2fan6313]

I really enjoyed the podcast - very interesting, great music, and of course, the Edge, whose voice I could listen to all day.

 

[Bonogirl777]

Downloading now! Edge's voice is, indeed, quite drool worthy.

 

[Andreianloth]

I already downloaded it!Now,it's time to listen

If only there were camerphones back then.

If memory serves, Edge uses the POD for the HiWatt amp simulation.

I will have to re-check my articles to see if I can find where I read that...
