Two Seconds into U2's "Miracle Drug"

0:02 At this point, it becomes clear that the reason Bono never used his famous "Edge has fallen back in love with the guitar for this record" sound bite is because Edge has decidedly not fallen back in love with the guitar for this record. He has, in fact, fallen hard for what we call "keyboards." Taking a page from the Geddy Lee handbook, Edge was tired of only one of his feet doing anything substantive during live shows. To counter his lollygagging, he found a way for one foot to play distortion, while the other plays one of those huge floor keyboards last seen in Tom Hanks' Big. It should be fun to watch him jump around during the tour.
