U2 - The Fly (Extended Solo)

[@wreckim]

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

[@luisfernandomendez2909]

He passed away on September of 2008 during a traffic accident.

[@wreckim]

@@luisfernandomendez2909 So he lived just long enough to give us this gift. God bless his soul.

i guess im randomly asking but does someone know a tool to log back into an Instagram account? I somehow lost my login password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me!

@Cayson Rowan Instablaster =)

[@caysonrowan172]

@Yahir Adan thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im in the hacking process atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@bonoman7628]

A song 20 yrs ahead of its time

[@deplorableaussie6749]

Yep , agree with you 110% dan , you really know your U2

[@gordonsh5964]

Out effing standing play this at my funeral my fave solo of all time Soar away it never ends .tip top x

[@toolguyslayer1]

I wish I could be this man for 4 minutes and 26 seconds he truly rocked it had an awesome display song

[@munnsey77]

Still watching this in 2019...still a phenomenal performance of this song...hope your still rocking Ralqh wherever you are...

[@lorrystutts3406]

One of the best covers I ever heard of this song. I can listen to this all day and never get tired of hearing it. You captured it beautifully and I love what you added. Wow!

[@dmsclemson]

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.

[@elmetiu]

This man is a legend

[@campdowg99]

Dude, every time I think I came just a little closer to The Edge's Sound you come around with some fenomenal shit. Thank you so much, best cover ever

[@lewisatkinson7277]

Man you are smashing it! All I can say is that your sound would not be out of place on any U2 stage.

[@surewin1773]

The delay isn't the same as Edge's sound but man, this is darn close. Very impressive.

[@u2adrian1000]

Gotta be Edges's best solo riff and you nailed it!

[@MrNutsack101]

WOW! An Asian Edge lives! Rock and Roll Doggie!!! Great great playing and sound! Seriously, you are the only person that actually sounds like the Edge playing...the rest of ppl on youtube I can tell with my eyes closed in 2 seconds!

[@AshliClementsabc]

I have watched this many, many times... I absolutely love watching you bc I never thought I'd ever hear anyone as good as edge that wasn't edge... until I heard you play, of course.

[@Dur21]

I don't know how many time I have see your videos. I have no words way off the hook, everyone out there can't compete with you

[@Reanimathor]

Ok, you did it. I`ve got chills all over my body during that solo. Amazing!

[@bonoman7628]

he gets better and better this bloke

[@matt300]

I've watched this video about 100 times. Better than The Edge's solos. Keep it up Ralqh! You have have a monumental gift that the world needs to see!

[@habibhussain825]

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...

[@rishitsingh6621]

its good but no way better than The Edge himself

[@danakerman]

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 KZbin, you'll see him demonstrating it at the very end of the clip.

[@paralleleagle7293]

Astronomically awesome.

[@HiggsFenderU2]

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 KZbin 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.

[@JA-rk9cg]

This is one of THE best songs for the crybaby

[@Tterfwrx]

Are you like in a U2 coverband or something, cause you are definitely good enough to be doing that! Your U2 covers are probably the best on KZbin!

[@chiefline7084]

This solo cover is still the best in 2024. Rock on

[@johnnyboy-f6v]

Check out Steph Van Linden's U2 solos. They are THE best

[@Sm00thR0ckS]

WOW! I have no words to describe how out of this world brilliant this cover was!

[@Nacht99]

Amazing sound. The guitar riff in this song is one of my The Edge's favorite solos.

[@Sherm911]

You and I both get a lot of positive comments on our U2 covers. YOU LEFT ME IN THE DUST ON THIS ONE. I MAY HAVE TO GIVE UP :) 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!!!!!!

[@DHTC888]

O MY CHRIST!! wow the solo is really really good! Tambourine drove me crazy but whatever works for you!

[@lemonon7149]

Well mastered Ralqh, not many people cover U2, I do vocals and we covered in Gods country. Our guitarist was good but man I wanted to jump in the video here and jam along with you for you were awesome. Hope you play in a band for your calling is obvious. Hope your also having fun for that's really what it's all about!! Rock on u24u2

[@Barth2b]

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!

[@gmr7494]

Genius, man. Genius.

[@opheliajade1986]

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!

[@ordinarylove9986]

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

[@dowdallerno1]

Plus he came up with it.🤯

[@ShadowDog415]

the level of awesomeness is off the charts here, great work

[@baldyman123]

Once again amazing my friend.Great improvisation after the solo

[@SebastiaanFranken]

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

[@vgames89]

Your extension of the solo was excellent. The Edge should do that! Seriously, this video could inspire him!

[@parvezahmed7605]

Enjoyed listening/watching this in a loop! You totally rock the song and solo. One of if not my most favorite of Edge's solos.

[@mh6405]

When I saw the title of this I thought good luck. But you really nailed it, you got the lead and also captured the feeling of this song. Excellent job!

[@donyboy73]

awesome

[@UnderABloodRedSkyU2]

The backing vocals sound soo eerie! You are incredible!

[@talagus]

Ralqh you made the essence of this great U2 song. Awesome sound feel, awesome work ! Masterpiece !

[@lunnaa1976]

Awesome! I'm a huge u2 fan, especially Edge's, I've gotta say, you're as good as him. If he ever walks out of the band, you can take his place ;) Congratulations, man!

[@ilikechocolatealot6355]

He would in his brown bollix.... edge is one ☝️ cool guitar 🎸 hero 🦸‍♂️ in his own right , others shall follow 👐🏻 how is that replaced looooona.💪

[@opticon]

Ralph, you rock. What can I say. Never stop

[@tury418]

Your simply the best Pat. Your solo is unbelievable.

[@munnsey77]

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!

[@alternatereality85]

Achtung Vancouver! Kickass stuff! Keep em coming.

[@MrKernan]

Great job Pat as always! love the extended solo - it's nice to hear people put a new spin on things we've heard so many times!

[@s96822]

really mind blowing. dedication, talent, heart

[@Derayne33]

the improvised solo is sick!

[@eddy621]

That's incredible! The extended solo is crazy. :)

[@kokote2024]

Mezcla genética de The Edge. Pareciera que The Edge no pudo terminar el solo y a este tipo se le iluminó el cerebro más allá del final de las cuerdas de su guitarra.

[@bendmo]

Desde Colombia Sur america, lo felicito es uno de los mejores cover que he escuchado de U2, como decimos aqui muy bacano. Saludesy suerte.

[@mjbanka17]

sick... exactly like the ZooTV live version until after the solo..when you put your own touch on it, however you still sounded great... this is definitely edge's best solo...

[@yostycuevas509]

EXCELENTE!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤ Bravo, bravisimo!!!!!!

[@Jobono42]

C'est le pied... : merci à Toi, cher compatriote !

[@PookBidault]

Edge could learn a few things from you! High praise! Keep those videos comming, especially songs that you play with the Explorer.

[@ELIASsandberg]

[@LordZorak11]

Damn that was Epic !! You got mad Skillz

[@brucehomis3409]

Incredible! Maybe my favorite video on KZbin!

[@jason41760]

s**** That is awesome...Raqh..Ive yet to see someone anyone cover that tune as good as you do...Its near hard to define who really is playing that..I think if you didnt know and you heard most people would just assume it was the Edge himself. Love to see yous both jam that one out.Top marks Bud.

[@fallsdeep]

Wow is all I can say, a flawless performance

[@allanpope1971]

Holy holy holy Hell!!! You Nailed this fantastic song!! I am speechless. Amazing.

[@Soh2k8]

Great sound Ralqh! The exyended solo makes the song much more rock!

[@ernestpimlott]

The Edge isn't the greatest lead guitarists in the world but he certainly is the greatest rythem guitarist-His riffs are very addictive to the ear-I could listen to this solo all day

[@Moonraker1974]

Amazing piece of work dude, from a very hardcore U2 fan !! :-)

[@biff0101]

Great job Ralqh. Incredible sound!

[@angeltorresrodriguez409]

La decoración.....excelente 90s. Saludos respetuosos desde Puerto Rico.

[@mauiboy692]

That is such a sweeet and creative solo. Lot of practice I bet....Em pentatonic with a hint of blues by any chance?? I love it. You should really offer a CD of these. I would love to listen to them on my stereo! Nice work yet again dude!! ~Justin

[@997MarkS]

Brings tears to my eyes. So very good. Thanks.

[@riverplate0101]
