David Howell Evans (born 8 August 1961), better known by his stage name The Edge (or just Edge), is a British-born Irish musician and songwriter best known as the lead guitarist, keyboardist and backing vocalist of the rock band U2. A member of the group since its inception, he has recorded 13 studio albums with the band as well as one solo record. As a guitarist, the Edge has crafted a minimalistic and textural style of playing. His use of a rhythmic delay effect yields a distinctive ambient, chiming sound that has become a signature of U2's music.
The Edge was born in England to a Welsh family, and was raised in Ireland after the Evans family relocated there while he was still an infant. In 1976 at Mount Temple Comprehensive School he formed U2 with his fellow students and his older brother Dik. Inspired by the ethos of punk rock and its basic arrangements, the group began to write its own material. They eventually became one of the most popular acts in popular music, with successful albums such as 1987's The Joshua Tree and 1991's Achtung Baby. Over the years, the Edge has experimented with various guitar effects and introduced influences from several genres of music into his own style, including American roots music, industrial music, and alternative rock. With U2, the Edge has also played keyboards, co-produced their 1993 record Zooropa, and occasionally contributed lyrics. The Edge met his second and current wife, Morleigh Steinberg, through her collaborations with the band.

The network is most successful in Waikato, Rotorua and Nelson surveys and in the 15–19 and 10–14 female demographics, whereas rival station ZM is most popular with listeners aged between 20 and 34. The station's breakfast programme is number two in the ratings for nationwide commercial breakfast radio; its 240,000 listeners compare with 325,600 listeners for the top-rating Newstalk ZB.

It was incorporated into the new council body Regional Facilities Auckland in 2010 and no longer produces a separate annual report.
The Edge is a BBC quiz show that aired on BBC One since 16 March 2015. On the show, contestants answer quiz questions and bowl balls to get prize money, but if the ball rolls over the Edge, the player is out.
Four contestants start the game. One is eliminated in each round. Each contestant maintains a 'personal bank' consisting of the cash they banked in each round; the surviving finalist plays for the contents of their own bank (the cash accrued by eliminated players is lost). Players are permitted offscreen practice rolls before playing the game proper.
There are four lanes - coded green, blue, yellow and red - of increasing length. The length of the initial run-up zone, worth £1 on all lanes, varies with the lane length; the 'cash zones' from £10 to £950, and The Edge, are the same on all lanes. Going over the Edge at any time means that roll is worth nil. Guard rails between each lane prevent rolls straying into neighbouring lanes. At the end of each round, the shortest lane remaining in play is shut off, with the final played only on the red lane.
The Edge is a various artists compilation, released by the Razor & Tie record label, on March 16, 2010.
The album's music is solely that of the alternative music genre, featuring popular bands prevalent in the genre. Many of the songs featured charted highly on either (or, in some cases, both) of the U.S. rock charts: the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and the Modern Rock Tracks chart. While most of the tracks date from the 21st century of rock music, the featured Korn and Sublime songs date back to 1998 and 1996, respectively.
The two-disc set was a success on the U.S. charts, debuting at number four on the main Billboard 200 album chart, and topping both the Rock Albums and Alternative Albums charts as well.

I stand here waiting
For you to bang the gong!
To crash the critic saying
''Is it right or is it wrong?''
If only fame had an I.V.
Baby could I bear
Being away from you
I found the vein, put it in here
I live for the applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause -plause
Live for the applause -plause
Live for the way that you cheer me and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause
Give me that thing that I love
(I'll turn the lights out)
Put your hands up make 'em touch, touch
(Make it real loud)
Give me that thing that I love
(I'll turn the lights out)
Put your hands up make 'em touch, touch
(Make it real loud)
A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E
(Make it real loud)
Put your hands up make 'em touch
A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E
(Make it real loud)
Put your hands up make 'em touch
I've overheard your theory:
Nostalgia's for geeks
I guess sir, if you say so
Some of us just like to read
One second I'm a koons then
Suddenly the koons is me
Pop culture was in art
Now art's in pop culture, in me
I live for the applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause -plause
Live for the applause -plause
Live for the way that you cheer me and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause
Give me that thing that I love
(I'll turn the lights out)
Put your hands up make 'em touch
(Make it real loud)
Give me that thing that I love
(I'll turn the lights out)
Put your hands up make 'em touch
(Make it real loud)
A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E
(Make it real loud)
Put your hands up make 'em touch
A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E
(Make it real loud)
Put your hands up make 'em touch
Touch, touch
Touch, touch now
I live for the applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause -plause
Live for the applause -plause
Live for the way that you cheer me and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause
Give me that thing that I love
(I'll turn the lights out)
Put your hands up make 'em touch
(Make it real loud)
Give me that thing that I love
(I'll turn the lights out)
Put your hands up make 'em touch
(Make it real now!)
A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E

Put your hands up make 'em touch
