People dislike Edge because he doesn't do 10 min solo's. Not because he uses delay, i have heard people mention the delay, but it doesn't make sense whasoever. Because look at David Gilmour he uses delay as much as Edge. No one slags him off for using delay.
Maybe it's the jealousy of Edge...
Great news, i have always liked Stone Roses. Ian Brown is such a nice bloke, once before one of his shows, i was playing football outside with my mates, and he came out and gave us all free VIP tickets.
