Biografie:

David Howell Evans (* 8. August 1961 in Barking, London), besser bekannt unter seinem Spitznamen The Edge, ist Gitarrist der irischen Band U2. Sein Gitarrenspiel ist ein Markenzeichen der Musik von U2 und zeichnet sich durch Einsatz von Effektgeräten aus, beispielsweise rhythmische Delay-Effekte. In der High-School nahm Evans Klavier- und Gitarren-Unterricht. Er trat oft zusammen mit seinem Bruder Dick auf; zusammen mit ihm baute er auch eine E-Gitarre. 1976 meldeten sich die beiden auf einen Aushang von Larry Mullen junior, der Musiker suchte, um eine Rockband zu gründen. Diese Band wechselte mehrfach ihren Namen, 1978 stieg Evans’ Bruder Dick wieder aus; kurz darauf nahm die Band ihren endgültigen Namen U2 an. Damals bekam Evans auch von Bono seinen Namen „The Edge“ (Englisch „der Rand, die Kante“). Für diesen Namen gibt es zwei mögliche Begründungen; Bono behauptet, der Name rühre daher, dass Evans einen besonders scharfen Verstand habe. In Fankreisen hält sich jedoch die Meinung, dass diese Bezeichnung eher auf The Edges scharf geschnittene Gesichtszüge anspielt. Evans entwickelte einen eigenen Gitarrenklang mit Echo-Effekten, der zu einem Markenzeichen von U2 wurde. Opulente Soli spielt er selten. Durch seine Arbeit bei U2 spielte er schon zusammen mit anderen bekannten Musikern wie Johnny Cash, B. B. King, Green Day und Tina Turner. In vielen Songs der Band U2 übernimmt er auch Backing Vocals (Beautiful Day, Zooropa, Lemon) oder, wie in Stuck In A Moment You Can’t Get Out Of Teile des Lead-Gesangs. In drei weiteren (Seconds, Van Diemen’s Land, Numb) übernimmt Evans den Lead-Gesang komplett. Der Song Numb wurde auch als Single veröffentlicht. Gelegentlich spielt Evans für U2 auch Keyboard (New Year’s Day, Running To Stand Still, Original Of The Species, Moment of Surrender). Der Rolling Stone listete The Edge 2015 gemeinsam mit Bono auf Rang 35 der 100 besten Songwriter aller Zeiten.
