This is my attempt at covering U2's amazing song "Zoo Station". This is based off a few different live versions. Gear Used: Gibson Les Paul Custom Axe Fx3 Vox AC15
Nice job! I could watch Edge play all day (or watch talented people like you do covers of his work!). I'm a drummer, I'm still working on expanding my knowledge of melody and the different ways in which music is created, and seeing the variety of effects and techniques in so many U2 songs is like watching an artist paint in different unprecedented styles that all come together to make a special result. Keep up the great work!
Thank you for the compliment!!! Edge is truly a master of sound-scapes! You nailed it with your "artist painting" remark! Glad you enjoyed the video (and hopefully some of my other ones 😝). There are a TON of great "Edge" guitarists on youtube that you should check out! Take care!! Thanks again!
@@AchtungBaby76 Have you heard this version of Mofo? This made me yearn--in a way that literally caused a few minutes of pain--for the Zooropa and Pop era to come back. Not to flip this greatness to insult 21st century U2, but man, this band was still on a mission to dig deep and look for something special in their sound and their message: th-cam.com/video/UoppXpxR27E/w-d-xo.html
That intro is so hard to get 😂 everyone else practicing scales while I’m trying to assault the low e string. Nice work, certainly an interesting tone for the chorus - not conventional for the song, but I actually like it
@@AchtungBaby76 heh we’re in it together! Good luck and keep it coming. Also how’s the vox ac15 without any effects? Worth it for someone doing bedroom play or get pedals instead?
@@Joseph-vn8gh I absolutely love my AC15. I've used it to play everything from a large auditorium to my small basement office/recording room. Very versatile - I would totally suggest grabbing one.
Every song in Achtung is amazing, I think i played that cassette until i wore out the tape, awesome cover, have considered covering Zooropa? Your sound is on par
Thank you!!! Glad you enjoyed the cover! Funny you should ask… I was debating my next cover and Zooropa was one of the ones I was thinking about doing. 🤟
Excellent cover friend. You did well with this one. The intro is spot on other than what another individual has stated. The AF3 is sounding great! Please check out my version of Zoo Station on my channel and leave a comment on the video there. Cheers! ~ Adrian
Something very strange is happening. I just went and looked and it shows that there are 8 comments, but when I went to the video and looked at comments - there is just your one that I replied to.
Lol should have taken that money you spent on that Les Paul custom and spent it on some guitar lessons. That is one of the most simplistic riffs ever and you didn't even get that right
One of the most underrated riffs.
Completely agree!
Great tone and great job keep up the good work !!!!
@@seanmacp Thank you!!!
Nice job mate! Keep that U2 goodness comin!!!
Thank you! Appreciate the support!

What a huge sound and another great cover 👍and that LP Custom is hot! that's one of my favorite u2 songs. keep it up buddy!
Thank you so much!!! It's a fun song to play. That LP Custom was a 20th Anniversary gift from my wife. I freaking love that guitar!
Another killer cover… the intro tone just spotted on… Achtung Baby is my fav album… I bet you agreed lol
Thank you my friend! Really appreciate the kind comments! Achtung Baby has always been my favorite album. Cannot wait for Vegas!! 😆
Outstanding!! Dec 23
Thank you!!!!

Thank you! It’s a tricky intro that I never feel like I nail.😊

@@AchtungBaby76 that’s good to hear. Will certainly be my top choice for when I’m ready for a tube. Cheers mate and again good work!
@@Joseph-vn8gh Take care and thank you!! 🤟
Nice work👏👏👏

@@AchtungBaby76 Awesome song, especially with all the changes going on with progression of the song, will be on the look out,
I bought the CD when it came out . There’s not a bad song in Achtung Baby
Totally agree!!!

Thank you my friend! I will check out your new cover! Take care!
This sounds great - your patch rocks
I’ve been toiling for a week trying to perfect that chorus effect
What is your effects chain?
Thank you! I will have to check - I don't recall exactly how that one was set up.
For the chorus I believe it was pretty simple. Distortion: Super OD / Delay: 2290 [probably dotted 8th] / Flanger @ 15% / Reverb: Small Plate @ 30%
Nobody can get that exact Edge sound.
Completely agree :)
NADIE pero absolutamente NADIE
👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you!!
@@AchtungBaby76 seen them 8 times live. Wembley in 1987 . Right at the front. Amazing.
Did you consider the gold knobs? Black looks great but I know Edge has the gold on his. Nice playing.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!! I will definitely get the Edge knobs!
@@AchtungBaby76 I think both look good.
hello I did not understand why you block my comments? I don't think I was disrespectful in my comments. best wishes
I definitely did not block your comments. Sorry that happened! Not sure why that happened.
Something very strange is happening. I just went and looked and it shows that there are 8 comments, but when I went to the video and looked at comments - there is just your one that I replied to.
@@AchtungBaby76 sometimes you have a reason it's strange. I have a lot of respect for you and your music. Thank you so much 🙏
I promise I would never block your comments!!! 😊
@@AchtungBaby76 thank you very much take care of you 🙏😉
awesome take!!
Thank you very much!!!

@alexanderson2907 You must not have gotten hugged as a child. You are on crack, this is a great cover.
It's spot on, coming from a gigging guitarist who's dream is to play in an Achtung Baby tribute band ❤
