Why is the Edge slamming his guitar to the ground at the end of “Gone” during the June 2001, Elevation Boston DVD?
During a web chat The Edge answered this question from a fan by saying “Because we murdered the song.” That night in Boston it was evident that The Edge was having trouble with his guitar. From the perspective of being in the crowd in the heart it appeared that The Edge was unhappy with Larry ending the song earlier than The Edge had planned. After the incident with the guitar The Edge could be seen having words with Larry over at the drum kit.
