Some soccer song that’s better than anything U2’s done in quite a bit.

While this song is very much a retread of U2 circa 1984, The Edge actually used this sound very little in the course of his career. This was the guitar sound for The Unforgettable Fire and The Joshua Tree, and that’s pretty much it. Of course, those were two of their biggest records, and if you are a casual fan (or non-fan) of a certain age, that’s what you will remember him for, but considering the length of his career (over 40 years now), he used that sound for a very short period of time. At least he took a step outside of standard rock guitar. How many guys based their entire sound around a Les Paul plugged into a Marshall? I’ll take The Edge’s sound on TUF over boring ass standard rock riffing any day of the week.

The intro to this song has been copied by a lot of folks too. I would put him in front of Hendrix and Clapton on your list.
