Loved them since I can remember, my uncle who taught me to play the guitar was a roadie for them when they first started and now semi retired still helps out occasionally but lives in Dublin.

Only musicians will understand why edge is up there along with the other greats. For non musicians, well yeh, they will never understand art. Its amazing how he can make a beautiful guitar piece with just a few notes.

With or Without You and One are the 2 best songs I have ever heard...

Hate from France

Bono was such an unconventional song writer. Very rarely does he use a proper bridge or chorus..but it works. Dylan once said that a true song had to have a chorus but Bono proved him wrong.

Wanting to know about the lyrics ,the mind frame ,in which it came from...it's very spiritual

Bourke's a winner. And this song is a good omen.

Isn't this a special guitar? Infinite Guitar, sustains notes longer...

I am now 54 years old. And I have been consciously listening to music since I was 10 years old. I developed my taste in music when I was about 14. Since then, I have loved pop music on the one hand and classical music on the other, especially baroque music. (Techno trance too, but that's another story...) When I heard ‘With Or Without You’ by U2 for the first time in 1987, it was an awakening experience for me: Edge's ‘Infinite Guitar’ in this song was a sound of angels from heaven for me. Since then, I think that ‘With Or Without You’ is the best pop song in music history. And if I were forced to take one song with me on the much-cited desert island, it would be ‘With Or Without You’. Thank you U2 for this brilliant song.

It’s a solo you’d hear at most churches. Very bland and repetitive.

yes,your highness,i would like to slap you...

Such a phenomenal album. I remember I was 18 and I bought it the morning it came out and rushed home to play it and I was blown away.

Am in awe -- this song is so great.. both instrumental and lyrics and feel

Boner is a true legend. Bowie and Plant are amateurs next to this guy. The vocal range is incredible, and Boners guitar, it's truly insignificant. A legend.

I've seen some technical playing in my time, but that is on a whole different level. That puts Yngwie to shame. The hat isn't g@y, either.

I don’t skip any songs on Joshua tree that’s pretty rare!!!

I just found out the lead guitarist of u2 calls himself the edge. The cringe doesn't stop with bono

Dzięki grze The Egde'a piosenki U2 są takie wyjątkowe... Cudowne, nie ma drugiego takiego zespołu. Kocham U2❤❤❤

The thing is that he hates heavy metal. He said once that he wept watching Spinal Tap because he hated what music became because bands like that one (even though that movie was a joke). The thing was that during the eighties, a guitar solo was like a common place, you could find it even in not metal songs, but not because the song needed that solo, it was just because you thought that doing so you would have a smash hit. That’s what he is saying. Most of those pseudo-metal songs are now out of fashion, they are kitsch.

I wanna have the same last dream again😂

Don’t know how else to say it: It felt like the Holy Spirit was working through U2’s music in those early years up through Joshua Tree in a powerful way. I don’t know exactly what changed, but though the music was still great, the themes got darker and the sense of the Spirit felt diminished. But those early years through ‘87 were magical.

Damn I wish they would get Larry back and get back out to the big Arenas instead of the stupid stadium shows outdoors. We need to see a real indoor arena show from these guys in these coming 6 months. It's time to get out of that sphere Las Vegas money making gig they did, and get back to your roots of the late eighties! Into the 90s when they were doing Arenas with the quality sound systems

This was their revamp of BAD. Masters of the two chord songs.

IMHO probs their greatest song. Also strong vibes for me being in Vegas/NV as a kid for the first time around time of their vid

My favourite bit of the song

Sometimes the simplistic touches the heart so much easier than the bombastic. Besides, those that hate on Edge have never created anything on his level. Anyone can study what is written, but the smart and truly talented ones write their on books.

Сам неправильно играет 😅

The ending is sooo goood... I play this part on acoustic and it sounds cool... on electric guitar it sounds majestic

It's one of the most beautiful songs❤ in the world, I love it.😂 It sounds like "Nebraska" by Bruce Springsteen.

The Edge is a prime example of what I call “playing appropriately”. Not flashy, but complementary.

Yo Edge.....whats under all the hats?

This guitar part gives me allways chills. It fits so perfect to the song. One of the most emotional Parts in Pop history.

The Joshua tree is absolute genius, for its time and for any time I believe. I remember the day it came out and the feeling it gave me: playing music, playing music, playing music

A Legend.

Daniel processes sounds, stores information, and edits at an incredible pace. His ability to sift through ideas and navigate a group through to the top of the mountain is peerless.

I have exactly the same strat! 7/76 is the stamp :-)

Vaya interpretación, una faceta más dura de U2 que también lo hacen perfecto, como si siempre tocaran así. Excelente!

wondering who wrote the melody to the lyrics in U2?

Daniel is amazing. Totally unique sound and total commitment to the song

Incredible album

Danesmoate, just shows unique live reverb rooms are where its at. And a ton of talent ofc

People rarely mention how big a part syncopation plays in his signature sound. The thing that makes this part so effective is that it’s played on the off-beats - the “ands”, as the most important notes in his parts often are.

I hate when non guitar players always show the left picking hand when we need to see what the right hand is fingering

Вааауууууу❤❤❤❤

Hey Edge.... I have played with garage guitar players who'd eat your lunch with their better skills

That last one is all the signs of a band that’s had enough & given up…

The whole music is 🔥 but that part is more 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯

The Edge uses his specially designed "Infinite guitar" on this tune as mentioned on the liner notes on the Album Joshua Tree...it was designed by a Canadian I think but has special circuitry that creates that ..sustainer sound that starts very close to the beginning...to my knowledge it's not a standard "sustainer" sound as special systainer pickups and circuits were fitted in allot of guitars since the 80s and used on tunes like Hysteria by Def Leppard in 1987 ...the Infinite guitar creates a sound more like a repeating feedback sound that's more intense than a standard sustainer which was used by allot of Thrash Metal guitarists back then and others....The Edge also uses this guitar for the live version of "The Unforgettable Fire" since at least live in 1987...

Don’t forget about Brian Eno here…. Lanois, Eno and U2 were magic together!!!!

Best song to represent your office workplace 🙃
