Where The Streets Have No Name by U2: Guitar, Bass & Songwriting Insights

"Where the Streets Have No Name" by U2 features The Edge's iconic use of delay and echo effects, creating a shimmering guitar sound. The song's opening guitar riff was inspired by a church bell ringing in Bono's head. The bassline, played by Adam Clayton, provides a driving force throughout the song. The track was produced by Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois, known for their atmospheric production style.
WHERE THE STREETS HAVE NO NAME

BY MARTIN MAHER

I figured this song out by watching live in boston and live at slane
videos. It is a great song.
Hope you enjoy.
