Edge - Please don't KICK that RICK!

Post by uzumaki »

The Edge must have been in a REALLY bad mood at this show. Ouch, that hurts.

I may be confusing this with a Peter Buck incident but as I recall, this happened when a fan threw a bag of peanuts that hit him square in the face and he was quite angered by that.

Wow....an expensive bag of peanuts!
'Rickenbacker'...what a name! After all these years, it still thrills me.

Wait, he smashed it because Larry Mullen didn't play the right part? It sounded like the song was okay . . .

I don't think that's why he smashed it. I didn't hear a screw up plus everybody messes up a part here and there. I WOULD more likely believe being hit by something would cause him to get that ******.

This clip was discussed over at the RIC forums. He's playing a 360 jetglo at the beginning but throws a 330 Fireglo. Must be from 2 different shows. He was supposedly upset because the drummer ended the song early. It also doesn't appear to be that big of a hit, more of a slide it off to stage left type swing then he turns and kicked something else stage right.

I have to admit though he did get a cool sound out of the thrashin'.

Childish, absolutely childish. His mom needs to send him to bed without his desert.

Does anyone know what his 360 actually is? I mean, it seems to be a 21-fret model, so it's either a new-ish Carl Wilson model or a old one from the 60s. Which would affect the claimed figure of $3,000....

Maybe his hat was too tight!
