Actress

I believe the actress that was killed by the stalker was Rebecca Schaeffer but there needs to be some references added. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.25.8.1 (talk) 13:18, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bono's guitar playing - in the song or not?

If you'll recall, I previously questioned whether we can credit Bono for guitar on this song here. Were you able to find some new information in the documentary that I missed? Y2Kcrazyjoker4 (talk • contributions) 19:05, 28 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Towards the end of the documentary there is a five-minute section on "Exit" (it is the third last song discussed). During the section, Lanois and Bono are experimenting with the different elements of the track. At one point a guitar, quite distinct from The Edge's, can be heard. Lanois says "That's Bono's guitar", to which Bono gives a laugh and says "That's the first time anyone has ever said that". The identical guitar part can be heard in the song from 1:55 to about 2:05. If you're not looking out for it, it is easily missed in the song, but it is there nonetheless. You even note that he had the guitar in that old discussion section. (The comments I struck out were incorrect; I was thinking of another aspect which Lanois notes did not make the cut). Melicans (talk, contributions) 19:21, 28 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

Editors working on U2 songs: you really do consistently excellent work. It makes my job as a reviewer a piece of cake. Definitely up to GA standards. You just need to indicate that the link to the Paul McGuiness interview is dead, and after that I will give this one a pass. Lemurbaby (talk) 14:33, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks again for the review! As it's a dead link and unlikely for them to upload the interview again I've simply removed the URL. The rest of the information for that ref should suffice I think. Cheers, Melicans (talk, contributions) 15:22, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
