  • Gear Used: Les Paul Custom, Crybaby 535Q, Axess BS-2, Korg A3, AC-30 (mic'd with SM-57)
    I recommend downloading a better stereo quality audio here: www.sendspace.c... or rapidshare.com/...
    I wanted to add a little something extra to the solo section of this song. It's not perfect, but it's different. This version is a little more "Rock 'n Roll" than my other recording. I also added my own Edge backing vocals on the chorus. Sorry about the messy technique
    Further information concerning Edge's sound can be found here: launch.groups.y...

    Ralqh, I don't know where you are today....but on March 7th, 2008, you were a Guitar Hero.

      someone needs to play and/or remix the guitar and drums portion of The Fly to last for an hour or two. I love this cut, just wish it was *a lot* longer.

    Sorry guys, it wasn't me who left those comments!!!
    It was an asshole in my class called Ryan who used to be my friend. He didn't know how to make a TH-cam account, so I gave him my username and password so he could use it to leave comments and favourite videos for a while. (That was obviously a bad idea)
    It dosen't really matter where he is from (Not trying to be cheecky)
    all I know, is that he is the best U2 coverer on the net.
    The solo in this is amazing aswell.
    Sorry,
    Matt.

  • @Tterfwrx

  • @danakerman
    @danakerman 14 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Interesting fact: Edge sometimes uses a Line 6 hollowbody for this song. Not sure if that's what he used on the studio version, but if you look up "U2's The Edge demonstrating his guitar rig (2/2)" on TH-cam, you'll see him demonstrating it at the very end of the clip.

    I put this on and I went to another tab and I thought I was listening to U2, this cover is just as good as the studio version. Keep making music my friend, you're doing it right

  • @Barth2b
    @Barth2b 14 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I usually don't like cover versions, most of them only show that having the right gear isn't as important as knowing how to use it, not to mention to fit the play right to the feeling of the song, not missing important details etc.
    What you've done is amazing, accurate to the song, detailed and sufficiently inventive. As someone said, Edge would be really proud:).
    Keep on doing your stuff!

    This video is insane, possibly the best U2 cover on youtube. That's accounting for the U2 sound and your awesome original style put in. Very, very.....VERY nice!!!!!!

  • @mjbanka17

    Not bad, my friend.....you are pretty good.....considering how completely fucking amazing that guitar solo is, and how no one can compare to the absolute genius of the Edge, and his utterly amazing playing methods/style, and climbing, climactic, flow. No one can compare, but you kicked ass here man!

      move wayyyyyyyyyyyy the fuck over, eddie van 'same ol thing' the edge is a guitar scientist, and thats harder than rocket science, the edge IS the fucking pioneer in electric guitar, period. eddie did some incredible stuff, but where did he go? besides the van halen brothers being dicks just like bono-they should have bono as their lead singer lol.
