1. miryclay is going to leave this link here:



    And also leave an article on production in TJT album thread.
  2. There is no doubt without both Eno and more so Lanois at the mixing desk i think one of two things may have happened 1) U2 would have panicked and put out a middle of the road flop 2 ) They may well have called it a day!

    BE & DL where vital to this recording and the band in. general !

    I wish Bono and Co would sort shit out and sit down and beg them both to come back as i am
    beginning to believe that the super duo are the only ones who have both the patience to work with U2 and the trust of the band when in a creative rut. And make no mistake U2 are in a creative rut. Otherwise we would have seen them well entrenched in a studio somewhere in the world by now.

  3. Traded in my Gretsch for a Les Paul. It’s awesome hahaha

    Which tour did Edge use a Les Paul the most? I was thinking Lovetown or Zoo
  4. Lovetown was mostly Strats even for songs traditionally associated to humbucker guitars (like I Will Follow).

    I'd say Zoo TV takes the cake, which is no surprise given that Achtung Baby and Zooropa are both heavy on Les Paul songs (although we know Edge sometimes uses one guitar to record in studio and a different one to play that song live). But yeah apart from the "80s suite" (Bullet, Running, Streets, Pride, Still) in the middle of the Zoo sets, which was 100% Strat, the rest of the set was pretty much LesPaulish (or kinda, as the Rickenbacker is closer to a LP than to a Strat).


    And now let's take a minute to talkSCREAM ABOUT THAT BEAUTY

    LOVE the input Sergio thank you very much, and yes it is gorgeous. Got a deal on it too and man I’m in love with the tone, don’t tell my strat
  6. Yeah Zoo TV Sydney takes the lead with 10 songs played on the Les Paul. Popmart Mexico City comes in 2nd with 8 songs played between the cream and gold top. Of course this might vary depending on the set list, but yeah the 90s were Les Paul heavy

    Oh I never had done the maths, thanks for putting it that way I was guessing either 360 or Popmart would be 2nd, yes.

    I'm so glad for you, man! LPs are too heavy for me (since I'm a singer and I play standing up most of the time, and there you really DO notice weight small differences) but man they are something else to play. I'm jealous now!

    Love the blue Herdim on the pickguard, the minute you spot that you know you're in good company

  9. The first Les Paul Edge sighting must have been in 1982. But yeah Zoo for iconography.

    I always noticed the edge put it there and I realized it’s actually a great spot to store it

    Yeah man this Les Paul is heavy, solid body so by far the heaviest guitar I’ve had the pleasure to play.
  11. Makes sense, thanks miryclay!
