      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.

    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 UA-cam, you'll see him demonstrating it at the very end of the clip.

      Matt Macreadie maybe but the edge is economical with his guitar playing. Whilst this guy is unquestionably talented some elements of his performance are a bit overblown, excessive soloing veerring into guns and Roses territory ...for brilliant edge playing please find the fly from Boston 2001...

    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 UA-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.

  • @Barth2b
    @Barth2b 14 років тому +2

    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!

  • @munnsey77
    @munnsey77 15 років тому +3

    Wow! Amazing! Your a great guitarist - I love the way you have added a few extra flavours of your own in to what is a classic solo and made them sound like they should have been there on the original song! I hope I can get somewhere near your standard someday!

Hope your also having fun for that's really what it's all about!! Rock on u24u2

    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!

This here is Sonic magnetic ))))))))))))))))))) guitar! rock on!
