U2 targeted in suit over Edge solo

To Paul Rose, the guitar solo The Edge throws down on the U2 song The Fly sounds illegaly similar to one he recorded in 1989.  The British songwriter/guitarist is taking his case to court. Ironically, the U2 song is one in which Bono sings, "Every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief."
Rose's claim may hinge on him having sent the Irish band a demo of his song Nae Slappin, the one that includes the "elaborate and distinctive guitar solo" he contends The Edge virtually duplicated during the U2 sessions.
