It's apples and oranges for me.

I love Mr. Teh Edge and his Edge-like godliness, but he has the "catchy riff, occasional long solo, textural" thing going on.

Mike's a badass, pure and simple, I love the solos on Even Flow and Alive, and judging from the live recordings I've heard...goddamn.

draw.

I would say technically McCready is a better guitarist, but he hasn't really created a unique sound like the Edge has...

:up:

McCready is a technical wizard who works the stage like an athlete. Edge is a minimalist by design (and maybe nature), and is more original. (I think McCready might even agree with that.)

That said, Mike is much more of a full-on force than Edge would probably want to be.

Take your pick!
