The Edge

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.

On Edge (Metal Band)

On Edge is an American alternative metal band from Arlington, Massachusetts, formed in 2013 by guitarist Tommy Barvick and drummer Jesse Schulz. Bassist Calvin McLean was recruited shortly after the band's inception, followed by the entrance of lead vocalist and rhythm guitar player Eric Sacarny.

History

Tommy Barvick and Jesse Schulz became friends in sixth grade at the Ottoson Middle School in Arlington. Sharing the same musical tastes, later that year the two formed a band called Flounder. Mutual friend Calvin McLean took up bass and joined Flounder, completing the lineup with Schulz playing guitar and singing, and Barvick drumming and singing. Flounder only played one show and disbanded after releasing their only album, Schloop, but it formed the basis for what would soon become On Edge.

When entering high school, Schulz and Barvick got together again and had a jam session that formed a new band with a heavier approach than Flounder. They called this new musical endeavor SFYNKTYR, and opposite to Flounder, Barvick now assumed the role of guitar and Schulz took up the drums. SFYNKTYR soon changed its name to On Edge, and Calvin McLean joined to play bass. Looking for a better singer, the band recruited mutual friend Eric Sacarny to sing and play mainly rhythm guitar, although Sacarny plays lead on a few tracks.
