They are smooth and boring. I dont know if u were intentionally trying to be clever or not (i will give u the benefit of the doubt), but I can assure u that U2 has an "Edge" And he has his own Signature Fender. Bet they do that for all untalented guitarists. 58 minutes ago, The 91 of Ryans said: Except their guitar player is actually called The Edge. He's from Newfoundland.

Great for making lots of money, but not particularly interesting in its own right. Good for playing in a car commercial or over the speakers while I'm shopping at target. Hair metal is fun. They dress up like chicks and sing about the devil and gettin' laid. I'm not really listening to it for the technical proficiency, but shrieking guitar whines do wake something up in me... U2 doesn't need to dress up like chicks'n'$hit - they have the talent that doesn't need to...Instead their material references to hardship, perseverance, and a better life.

Isn't music from all the Atlantic provinces basically the same? 12 hours ago, Neomaxizoomdweebie said: Have any famous musicians ever come from Newfie-Land? Mainstream? No, not really. Great Big Sea is probably the biggest band from Newfoundland. There's also The Navigators, The Irish Descendants, Celtic Connection, Ron Hynes, etc. which are all prototypical Newfie music. The Novaks and Hey Rosetta! are more alternative. 12 hours ago, Neomaxizoomdweebie said: Like this? Nope. I'm personally not a fan of most Newfie music. There are a few artists / songs that are tolerable, but for the most part, not my jam... What does where I'm from have to do with my taste in music anyway? You have Mellencamp and Axl Rose.

Bluegrass was started by musicians around the Appalachians. The Appalacians were heavily populated by immigrants of Scottish and Irish descent. Therefore, their music was heavily influenced by their native homeland and their new one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
