I do play ala The Edge using the grip side of Herdim guitar picks. I don't for all things but certainly for U2 songs and for some other things.
Hmm, I need to get some Herdim picks lol. I have shitty thin Dunlop ones but I can't stand them, and then one un-identifiable red one which has worn down with age, but plays really well...wish I knew what make it was lol.

Some will insist that ONLY Herdim's will work. Sure it's best to use what Edge (and Adam) use but any picks with grips like the Herdim will get you there.
I sometimes use Herco 75's (Good enough for Mr. James Patrick Page of Led Zeppelin, good enough for me) The Herco 75's are a bit smaller than the Herdim blue teardrop picks but have the similar grip that works well played upside down to get that "ching".
Dunlop makes some that have similar grips that work. I don't know the size/model off the top of my head. Bono was using some red coloured Dunlop picks during Elevation and Vertigo but not upside down like Edge.

Indeed, the Dunlops seem too pointy when being used in the orthodox fashion, which is why I dislike them. However, I'm the only person I know who uses thin picks, so I have to make do with until I can get hold of Herdims or the like...
(Bono did use the red teardrops Herdims for a bit. Bono has used the blue too. And also Dunlop red picks with similar Herdim-like grips -- The red Herdims are a little thinner so you might like them better than the blue. Perhaps buy a dozen of each and go from there?)

Also, seems that Edge had some Herdim-like picks made to also use.

Are they rarely available then or something? Or are they just two sites you found that are of use?

Initially, they were made in WEST Germany. There IS no WEST Germany anymore. I am not sure what company bought the tooling or what may be... but yeah, you can't just go to Sam Ash, Guitar Center or Manny's and guy them.
Herdim makes a lot of picks for folk instruments too. So be careful when ordering... you want "HERDIM BLUE TEARDROP" picks. Unless you want thinner than ask for HERDIM RED TEARDROP picks.
The sites I listed are good sources to buy them.
The Herco 75's that Jimmy Page uses are readily available at Sam Ash and Guitar Center.

I'll bear that in mind cheers chap. I may seek a slightly easier and more commonly available alternative, but it would be cool to get hold of a couple of Herdim picks...
I always had this pre-conception that Edge's picks were thin lol. I probably will go for the red if I get the chance, I don't like heavy picks because I like there to be some decent give...

Try the Herco 75's. Dunlop makes them now. They come in packages of 10-12. They are cheaper than the Herdim's and more easily available.
Although, the Herco's are thicker than the Herdim.
wow, I envy all your knowledge about edge's guitars
I once tried to list the guitars he plays for certain songs,
but then I got lost at some point and duh... just too many different kinds for a n00b like me
oh well, I'm just going to follow your discussions and try to keep something in mind!

Fear not, you pick it up as you go along
Afterall, you can't have answers without questions; 'seek and ye shall find' etc. - we all begin the journey to enlightenment at some point!
