MTEdge said:It's also worth noting that the large TV screens on top of the speaker columns do NOT show the individual band members, i.e., you can't see Bono playing the guitar unless you're very very close to the stage...

I have to listen to The Fly from Twick1 a couple of more times, but I am almost positive that Bono is NOT playing some of the guitar parts that it sounds like he's playing.
It's one thing to strum chords, and Bono does that relatively okay (Bono's timing and strength of striking the chords vary tremendously though). But it's another thing when you hear The Edge doing his wah/whammy fill-ins AND Bono doing fill-ins, too (see 1:44, 2:29, 3:52, and 4:18 of the radio recording of The Fly). Bono is just NOT that consistently good (timing-wise and technique-wise) when playing individual strings.

chrissybaby said:on top of the pops last november he played guitar on COBL, he doesnt play it on tour and it sounds no different. I stood directly in front of him for both Manchester shows, front rail and he seems very haphazard, almost just hitting strings with his thumb. It's definitely plugged in though but he never touched it in during RTSS. He just seems very nervous of it, its more of a prop in my opinion.
