Icon of person The Edge

The Edge, pseudonimo di David Howell Evans (Londra, 8 agosto 1961), è un chitarrista, cantante, tastierista e compositore britannico naturalizzato irlandese, chitarrista degli U2. Il suo pseudonimo deriva sia da un'allusione al profilo appuntito del suo volto che dalla sua predisposizione alla sperimentazione come chitarrista in riferimento all'espressione in inglese "on the edge", traducibile in italiano come "al limite". Qualcuno sostiene che lo pseudonimo giochi anche con il suono delle iniziali del suo nome David Howell: D[di:] H[eic]. È stato collocato al 24º posto nella Lista dei 100 migliori chitarristi di tutti i tempi dalla rivista Rolling Stone. Leggi di più su Wikipedia
