I recommend downloading a better stereo quality audio here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/3gu8er or http://rapidshare.com/files/98562023/The_Fly__Extended_Solo_.mp3.html

I wanted to add a little something extra to the solo section of this song. It's not perfect, but it's different. This version is a little more "Rock 'n Roll" than my other recording. I also added my own Edge backing vocals on the chorus. Sorry about the messy technique

Further information concerning Edge's sound can be found here: http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/U2_recording/

Enjoyed listening/watching this in a loop! You totally rock the song and solo. One of if not my most favorite of Edge's solos.

somebody said its not perfect, but close......who the fuck wants perfect? perfect is boring, unique individuality creativeness is what its all about anyways, nothing is perfect anyways, so whoever said that cannot grasp nor understand life or anything, we are mistakes! we learn and grow with mistakes! how fuckin bizarre would this be, is it even possible........for a band to play live, and sound exactly like the studio version of their recordings? I suppose that defeats the whole purpose of a live concert, and more than a fair share of the live version of a song by bands thoughout history are liked more than the studio version, so if we had to go on your logic, no band would ever play live, because their finished recorded album is 'perfect', lol -nothing is truly perfect, but even if it were, it'd still be a 'perfect' work in progress..................the joy of the journey is not the start nor even the finish, but the journey itself, the ups, downs, triumphs, struggles, all of it-the experience -what modern day fucked up so called perfection technology has done is said its better to live in a push button society, that way you never work, discover new things, or anything, in a push button society as today you barely exist, or know you're alive, -nothing to challenge you, your spirit, Jesus, who is God, did not intend human beings he created to be and live this way, thats why 'the good old days' are called that, because, they were 'good'! Today sucks ass, everybody reading this knows that anything worth anything is from the past - music-movies-porn-everything-everything just got worse, its all part of bible prophecy, and it will continue to get worse, ask Jesus to forgive you of your sins and receive him into your heart NOW , any one of us could slip into eternity in an instant..............

fucking awesome dude! your guitar sounds like a 'sonic' guitar! I don't know what you did or how you arranged everything, but it fuckin sounds better than even the edge in concert! I guess U2 keeps their sound, instrumentation etc to a certain 'level' in concert, so as not to 'fly away' with the song, man, you are HARD ROCKIN! U2 isn't really a 'hard' rock band, they do have their moments - 'dirty day' can be hard, maybe you can do that one, off 'zooropa' if you haven't already, its great just hearing the guitar for once without bono's loud mouth lol going, and no bass or drums to interfere, wow, you get a much deeper appreciation of what edge is doing, and just how much of a rocker he is! I love the way you bring out the songs with your style, whereas U2 has to keep edge on a leash, or else he could go fucking ballistic on guitar! like he deserves too, shut bono the fuck up and take him outta the spotlight, van halen has given bass solos, drum solos, and of course guitar solos, U2 should've-needs to do the same, but alas BONO has long since been BIGGER than the band, so...........if he'd left and done his solo thing a long time ago, instead of trying to do his solo shit within the band, makin an ass of himself in the process, all would have been well, those guys-larry, edge, and adam could do whatever the fuck they want-they don't need the clown bono-let bono go off like david lee roth did-form his own band-do his own thing-U2 get a new lead singer-totally reform the band-that would be kick ass. any body could be lead singer - don henley, tom petty, any cool person thats not some showoff wack job like bono...........
