He made alot of good songs in that guitar,. guess what, its not his now... Why>>?

Under The Hammer For Music Rising Edge’s Gibson Les Paul, Lennon’s sunglasses, Springsteen’s hand-written lyrics and a signed sax from Bill Clinton are among 200 pieces of music memorabilia in the Icons of Music Auction. The event will raise funds for Music Rising and also features a Tom Tom drum from Larry and a bass guitar from Adam. It takes place on April 21st at the Hard Rock Café in Times Square, New York.

Edge, who announced the auction today, said of his 1975 Gibson Les Paul: “I wanted that Steve Jones ‘Never Mind The Bollox’ sound. I got the same guitar right down to the colour. I never could get that sound, but I found a bunch of songs in this instrument, and have used it ever since, on tour and in the studio."

Also under the hammer are a seven-page handwritten love letter from Janis Joplin to her boyfriend, a Jimi Hendrix guitar, an Elvis Presley early recording contract, Kurt Cobain’s MTV Video Music Award for Nirvana, Paul McCartney hand-painted Epiphone Texan Guitar and a Rolling Stones’ signed Gibson Les Paul Music Rising Guitar.

twenty YeaRs...


it's been 20 years since u2 released their greatest album of all time... "the JoshuA treE". Some people may not agree with me, but for me, it is their greatest album of all time...

JOshua tree includes the tracks:
  1. "Where the streets have no Name" – 5:37
  2. "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" – 4:37
  3. "With or Without You" – 4:56
  4. "Bullet the Blue Sky" – 4:32
  5. "Running to Stand Still" – 4:18
  6. "Red Hill Mining Town" – 4:52
  7. "In God's Country" – 2:57
  8. "Trip Through Your Wires" – 3:32
  9. "One Tree Hill" – 5:23
  10. "Exit" – 4:13
  11. "Mothers of the Disappeared" – 5:14

The album continues the sonic experimentation of The Unforgettable Fire. The album opener, "Where the Streets Have No Name", begins with a soft organ fade-in (appropriately similar to the end of "MLK" from Unforgettable Fire) over which guitarist The Edge plays a simple echo-laden arpeggio, ringing each note out twice, an elegant effect that gives the band a deceptively detailed sound. "With or Without You", the album's first single and one of the band's most well-known songs, uses a technique called "infinite guitar", developed by Michael Brook, to distort the notes into an eerie wail.

Joshua Tree picks up where the political themes of War left off. "Bullet the Blue Sky" is a fierce attack on the United States' policy of supporting the right wing government of El Salvador, with a martial drum beat, thundering bassline, and wailing guitar reminiscent of falling bombs. Lead singer Bono reportedly told Edge to "put El Salvador through your amplifier." "Mothers of the Disappeared" is an understated lament for the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, the mothers of the thousands of los desaparecidos (from Spanish, literally "the disappeared")—people who opposed the military government of Videla and Galtieri in Argentina and who were kidnapped and never seen again.

In addition to the political matter, there are many personal songs, including "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For", a song about Bono's inner struggles with faith and temptation, and "One Tree Hill", an elegy written for Bono's friend and personal assistant, Greg Carroll (to whom the album is dedicated), who died in 1986.
