The Edge talks to Alan Yentob about his Gibson Explorer and shows off its nicks and dents, and demonstrates the Infinite guitar. Recorded for the BBC’s documentary series ‘The Story of the Guitar‘.
Imagine – The Story of the Guitar is on Sunday at 10.15pm on BBC One
This is what its all about…! A two hour documentary would still not satisfy my appetite…..! Great stuff, wish he played something new though!

Oooh, sexier than boots! 21 guitars in one show, my god. Hearing Edge play the riff from Mysterious Ways and The Fly, knowing there’s a bit of North African flavour in the new music… tingles run up my spine. Even my cat likes it, as soon as I played the videos she jumped up, pawed the laptop and meowed (translation, “finish the lyrics, Bono”).

der edgar. easily one of the best interviews ever of him. certainly my two favourites. I wonder if dallas is also helping him out in the houshold by now.

dallas has been wth egde since the JT days, at least since the tour, I don’t think he was already involved in the record, since he was working with robbie robertson on his 1987 self titled record, that danny lanois had produced. I believe the story goes that dallas fixed a guitar for danny, and that was how danny recommended him to edge…

To be in that room with that man and his guitars and be able to say, “Can we see that one?”…
