I wouldn't say there's anything wrong with trying to sound like someone else, because you could use the same argument for playing the music of your favourite artist i.e. playing U2 music, and no one makes a big song and dance about that. I think it's similar to the plagiarism debate - as long as you don't claim either the sound or the music to be a creation of yours, it's ok. That's not to say that I don't endeavour to come up with my own music or tones/sounds of my own though

I agree...nothing wrong. I just value more original stuff. Just my opinion. I also love playing other people's songs.

Well, I know he used a Lakland for the videoclip recording on New York, but I don't know IF that bass was the one he used for the studio recording... Maybe someone can get you on the true way... Sorry 
|
The Lakland may have been on the album but I wouldn't say that a guitar in a video was the one used on the album as a rule.
Example:
The guitar Edge is playing in the video ISN'T the one on the album. Just as the Tele Edge is seen with in the "Walk On" video isn't the guitar used for the album. [That being the Tele that Edge has been using for Sunday Bloody Sunday on the last 2 tours]

One of the things I like about U2 is the fact that their cover versions always sound completely different from the other band's original version. I prefer that to a note- by- note reproduction. U2 is always U2.
I like playing covers. But whenever I do I always try to make them my own. Not credit- wise of course, but in the way I make them sound. I'm always myself.

Just watched the videos Jeff posted with Edge talking about his guitars. What's the name of the effect Edge brought in when he was playing the inifinite guitar? It's a synth-y sort of sound....

Completely non U2 related, but I figure Jeff might dig this.

Possibly the only time Peter Buck ever used a LP.

That 'string' like sound is called "Shimmer". It is basically a harmonizer and reverb. Edge then blends that tone with his main signal. The shimmer is basically a pitched up and reverbed trail of the notes he's playing. He's used it tons and is a tradmark. E
How can the layman (us) get this? The Line 6 Verbzilla set to the 'Octo' setting is a cheap and effective way to achieve this tone.
Digitech IPS 33b is a nice rack harmonizer that works well for this tone.
Edge uses an Eventide harmonizer.

I use the verbzilla almost exclusively for the shimmer. I love the sound. Sometimes I find it has a little too much reverb, and it overpowers the harmonizer sometimes, but it still does the job nicely. I use it a lot.

Peter Buck has used a LP at every show I've seen since 1989. He got one around the time of the "Green" sessions. It isn't one that he uses often but does for the heavier things like form "Green" or "Monster" like "Orange Crush", "Stand", "Crush With Eyeliner", "I Took Your Name" & "What's The Frequency Kenneth".

It's poor mans shimmer but still does the job good enough. I use it on my pedal board all the time.

Have to agree. They opened some shows with that on the Monster tour.
And WHO was the soundman on the Monster tour (And REM's 1999 UP tour)? One Joe O'Herlihy of U2 fame.

I have to confess it. I don't have ANY bootleg of REM!  I only own the 2005-05-24 Dublin show, which I got it on the eMule... Otherwise, my REM shows would be zero... Maybe you can recommend me some good ones, specially from the post-1992 era (for example, U2-ish related I'd recommend1993-08-28 Dublin, 1993-11-27 Sydney, 1997-07-18 Rotterdam... Can you do that for REM??) ? Thanks!!
