There are a lot of guitar players out there who are better technical players than The Edge.  What he knows how to do is use his effects to create soundscapes which paint a canvas and allow the rest of the band to fill in the details. 

He also is not afraid to use space in his playing and not play notes just for the sake of playing them.  In that manner, he reminds me of David Gilmour. 

For these reasons, he is one of my favorite players ever.

I think Edge is capable of playing face-melting Guitar Hero-esque solos, but that's just not his style (for the most part).

Exactly !!!! I fully agree !!!!

You said it all !!!

Anyone who plays guitar, just try playing Bad with the right delay, the exact right tempo in order to acheive what Edge sound's like. Good luck
My sucess rate is about 1 in 5 trys and not for the whole song... And I'm still practicing, practicing, practicing...  :P

Agreed!

(I'm listening to Van Diemen's Land right now, he needs to get more singing time on the new album)

....just a thought.... ::)

Also agreed!  :) I was just watching Edge sing Sunday Bloody Sunday from PopMart, with the simplest guitar part, and it was beautiful. It amazes me how they can completely transform a song we think we know by heart...  ;D

That's now one of my favorite version of SBS. Edge does a great job on that one, he's a great overall musician !!!

I really wish Bono would stop completely hogging the microphone, let Edge have a go!

Edge is TOTALLY cool. His whole personality is somehow quietly inspiring. He's very softspoken, very courteous, seems very patient and like the nicest guy in the world (second to Adam, maybe). He also seems to have a devastating sense of humor, very dry and quick. Wouldn't want to mess with him. I admire his taste in music and in the way he plays guitar. He's The Man, and I hope Bono never forgets it.

Have you seen the way Bono looks at edge? I dont think he has forgotton it!

In those looks there is total love and admiration.
