The Edge


real name david evans, the edge is the guitarist for the famous irish rock band u2, known for his love of effect pedals, harmonics, “sonic soundscapes” and “less is more.” he has a very minimalist style, so when he really rocks out in songs such as “the fly” (from the 1991 alb-m “achtung baby”) the effect is far greater. possibly best known for his intro to the song “where the streets have no name” from the 1987 alb-m the joshua tree, which is essentially a four-note arpeggio done repeatedly but is regarded as one of the greatest intros of all time.

once you’ve gone over, you don’t come back.
“the edge… there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over. the others–the living–are those who pushed their control as far as they felt they could handle it, and then pulled back, or slowed down, or did whatever they had to when it came time to choose between now and later.”
