Potential "Silencio" Riff Found?
Hey U2 family,
Zach here. Perused the group for a few years, just joined & excited to contribute!
I'm sure many of you have heard Bono's talk of the new punk rock track, "Silencio", on the new album. The grainy clip surfaced of the band debuting the track, but I couldn't gather anything from it, others were comparing it to "The Fly". This immediately brought me back to an old Edge video.
The video has Edge & Dallas in Jacknife Lee's studio debuting Edge's Fender Stratocaster in 2016. I remembered hearing the riff, 4 min mark & on, back in 2016 & it immediately made me think of "The Fly". Being that Jacknife seems to be heavily involved in producing the new LP, I thought the other day that maybe this is the riff to the new "Silencio".
Give it a listen, I will hyperlink it below, and let me know what you think. Even if it isn't "Silencio", I'd love to hear it on a track in the future. Great Edge riff!
Thanks and looking forward to what's next,
Zach
