Subscriber ramsatw Posted November 27 Subscriber Share Posted November 27 (edited) Wow, to own one of The Edge's guitars or Adam's basses...that would be very cool indeed. I'm going to guess they might be a little out of my price range...🤣 Still, a great idea for a great cause.

Subscriber Shannon387 Posted November 28 Subscriber Share Posted November 28 Virtual U2 I want to check it out and I was going to enter the Music Rising virtual space until I saw "needs permission for your camera and audio..." and I freaked a little. 😋 I'm still in my PJs. I'll have to give it a whirl later when I'm a little more prepared. I've checked out the prices of the guitars on the auction site and they're definitely out of my price range but I'd like to check out the virtual aspect for sure. Very cool and I hope they get a great turnout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber tan_lejos_tan_cerca Posted November 28 Subscriber Share Posted November 28 I tried to join in with the phone and tablet's camera because I don't have a webcam in the computer. But I couldn't, so I can hear you and see you and just chat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Madfl3a Posted November 29 Subscriber Share Posted November 29 I have spent much of the last few hours on the website and honestly I'm just MINBLOWN. The content is just out of this world, I mean, the more you explore, the more you lose your mind at it all ! It's just a wonderful experience, I have no words to descirbe it better, just go see for yourself seriously, you won't be disappointed. And I love a good guitar, and I'm a crazy music fan so obviously I'm a bit biased at this treasure vault. But it gets even better. Yeah for real. Because I got to spend HOURS just going crazy and chit chatting with my U2 friends whose faces I hadn't seen in so long and whose voices and laughter I missed so much. I had the BEST time in a very very long time. I couldn't have thought of a better way, or a better place really - Edge's dressing room guys, hours of giggles just there I'm not messing with you - to catch up with my fam. It's a gift. Enjoy it while it lasts because it's a TRUE gift. The only request I have concerning it is quite simple. Can we keep it forever and ever? Pretty please with (pop) sugar on it. Here's a few pics : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
