Bill Bailey - How a Technical Failure at a U2 Gig will sound

Bail Bailey brilliantly shows that the "sound" of U2 is just clever effects and demonstates this by showing the audience what it would be like if U2 had a "Technical Failure" during a live show!

Comedy Gold!

That wasn't even that funny. To any guitarist, it's obvious that a lot of musical techniques in rock rely on your effect pedals, but there's almost no way a pedal would fail like that, and even if it did, the band would play through it and salvage things quite easily, because a good guitarist can improvise around not having an effect.

The "edge" could accidentally step on the bypass on the pedal to cancel his infinite guitar. Besides, who would notice anyway? Anyone who finds themselves at a U2 concert is a musical retard at some level.

Yea because everyone who does not have your musical tastes must be deemed a retard. Sounds like you are the retard here.

I'm not at all a fan of U2, but I don't get why this sketch is amusing. It's like saying that the lights going out at an art showcase would be problematic.
