edge birthday song

[mp3]
we love you - u2


i prefer the title i love you (edge birthday song). either way, live in antwerp, august 6, 2001, a few nights before edge's birthday. (details). sort of a rarity to hear the u2, um, jamming (?) on stage. not so odd to hear the bono making up words as he goes along. the words include bono repeatedly singing "i love you."

Happy Birthday, the Ed-ge!

It must be fun to play on your own birthday song in front of a live audience.

Yetta just sent me an email that said: even though Edge is one of the most incredible guitarists of our time, Matt Bellamy is the best living guitarist now. Can you believe that?

I mean, that's how I feel, but I'm not obsessed with Edge like she is...heehee. That 'prat rock' seems to be growing on people....

matt bellamy is the best DRESSED guitarist of our time. i think he's fun to watch. i love his style. but
edge's playing has WAAAY more emotional range and is far more innovative. IMO.

I totally forgot about that song. Soundchecked a few times, only played once and never turned into anything, I guess.

About Matt Bellamy, I know you like him but why do fans always have to say someone is the best? It only shows a lack of knowledge about all the other amazing guitar players alive.

Um, how did Edge's birthday song post turn into a matt bellamy comment thread? Hm. Honey?!

Jason, i do not think bellamy is the best, but that is just my opinion. If someone else thinks he is the best, then that is just their opinion. Saying someone lacks knowledge seems presumptuous, unless you have intimate knowledge of said person's knowledge ;) Plus, apparently bellamy did sex things on stage with his guitar at MSG and this may have blinded said people into devoted ardor for the bellamy. possibly.

peace

Gee thanks for the lecture, C. LOL.

No offense was meant about "lacking knowledge." My point is just anything that is "best best best" gets old real quick for me. Comparing musicians is like apples and oranges. There is no true best.
