Favorite Edge solo?

[UnforgettableLemon]

I was just listening to Street Mission, from the pre-Boy era. That song has a SICK guitar solo. Possibly the most classic-rock-esque Edge has ever been. Love that song. But I think Edge's best solo is the live verison of "Love is Blindness"

 

[discothequeLP]

There's something about the solo to The Fly that makes it the best. Especially noticable during the Elevation performances, I love how the song goes from the deep, dark, verse to the fuckin' spectacular chorus, then back to the dark again at the end. The solo pretty much sums up the song, going from dark and dreary at the beninning to just plain sweet and amazing at the end. I can't really explain it.

The Fly

 

[knox]

Silver and Gold, live.

"Edge, play the blues..."

 

[believer75]

Silver and Gold, live.

"Edge, play the blues..."

Dude, I was just about to type that...I agree with ya!!

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

MMMMM. I like silver and gold. I LOVE the solo. But by God that resembles everything that is not the blues.

 

[SeattleVertigo]

11 O'Clock Tick Tock.

That, or Mysterious Ways live.

 

[Phalanx]

It depends on the mood. Either The Fly from Elevation tour, or 11 O'Clock Tick Tock from Irving Plaza.

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

SV- The 11 O'Clock solo- are you talking about the regular one or the "grandfather clock" solo on UABRS (and at the very very hard to hear end of the studio version)?

 

[starsgoblue]

That, or Mysterious Ways live.

Right now in my mind I'm thinking of the one from the Popmart video where he does the little shimmy with his boots during the solo.

Yeah...MW....but live though.

 

[trashdaveed]

Really love the one in Bullet from the live version on the Stay single.

 

[Yahweh]

Bullet The Blue Sky live version
All I want is you album version

 

[LMP]

tie between Street Mission and The Fly

 

[the rockin edge]

bullet the blue sky live or mysterious ways live depending on my mood
