Originally posted by LikeASong:Everyone should listen to these tunes They're essentially U2 tracks (they feature the four U2 members plus Daniel Lanois, and obviously Robbie Robertson) and they're simply great songs. Testimony is a bit groovier, more in the line of INXS or Terence Trent D'Arby, but Sweet Fire could 100% pass as an Unforgettable Fire / Joshua Tree outtake.
You can tell that's Larry on the drums, you can tell that's Edge on guitar, you can tell that's Adam on the bass... But without the formal constraints of U2's style and guidelines. They're free and they're enjoying themselves. And last but not least, Bono's vocal delivery on Sweet Fire is absolutely phenomenal and among the best you'll ever hear.
Go find 10 minutes and listen to those.

Sorry to disappoint (or to raise the doubt, at least) but I've always though the solo on Sweet Fire was actually played by Robbie and not by The Edge. After all, Robbie is credited for guitar on the song's credits (and Bono for vocals AND bass ).
