Do you guys think Bono will actually play guitar again? One and The Fly are really taking a hit to this. Even some of the new songs feel different, as good as they sound, Cedarwood Road in particular, even the acoustic in Lucifer's Hands.
not saying this has to do with his guitar playing skills (we all make our jokes, but come on), but I do genuinely think all the songs that have been played so far - and which usually have bono play guitar, too - sound better without it. I'm talking one, the fly, even cedarwood road, if he was supposed to play guitar there (to me, the album version sounds WAY too busy, enjoy the live version much more).
I'm sure he misses it composing new songs, so I hope for his sake he can pick it up again, but otherwise... no loss for me as a listener.
