How revolutionary was the Edge's guitar work?
Most of the younger U2 fans (including myself) have heard great guitar work done by other bands and the later stuff of U2, but when I read "The U2 Reader" everyone was basically calling Edge's guitar work 'harmonic' and like a 'buzz saw'
And I must say the guitar work does sound professionally done on all three albums, rather than some bands who have amateurish guitar work. Edge would solo a few times during some songs -- which is a rarity, considering some bands don't even do that.
The riffs Edge pulled off must have been new and fresh at the time.
If anyone can give me insight on this, I'd appreciate it.
