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 Edge is a youth-oriented New Zealand radio network, music television channel and entertainment website owned and operated by MediaWorks New Zealand. It was founded in Hamilton in 1994, is based in Auckland and broadcasts nationwide over multiple channels. Research International audience surveys suggest The Edge has approximately 424,000 listeners across all markets that are surveyed and the station makes up 7.0% of the New Zealand radio market.
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. This compares with the non-commercial Radio New Zealand National whose breakfast programme, Morning Report, has an audience of 522,000 listeners.
Auckland Live, known as The Edge until 2014, is New Zealand's largest performing arts and convention centre complex / organisation. It is a council-controlled trading organisation of Auckland Council and comprises:

Auckland Live has a board of six and is chaired by Richard Waddel and the deputy chair is Peter Stubbs.
In 2009, its board of directors alone were paid a total remuneration of $139,000. In the same year, the top 10 employees remunerations totalled more than $1.79 million, some $400,000 more than the direct cost of the Arts Agenda programme.
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.

[Verse 1: Woodie]
Feel the weight on my shoulders, put yourself in my shoes
Before you past judgment upon the choices I choose
I'm just a man with a gun in hand protecting what I love
With a deadly alter plan to persevere and stay above
Cause at any time the walls can come tumbling down
And knock you off the top of the ladder back down to the ground
And now you're back to point A with a strike against you
And society don't like you though they might pretend to
It ain't right what men do but dam it's reality
And I'm a do the best I can to not become a casualty
And stand up for my faculty at any time required
Hammers cocked back gripped the devil ain't getting fired
Just another buried sin till my life comes to an end
Lost my feeling for remorse around the age of nine to ten
Then gave up half my soul when I lost my closest friend
To his brother who went from youngest to oldest then
[Chorus:]
Everyday and every night of my life!
My sanity is standin' on the edge lookin' over the ledge
While mama prays I fight to keep my mind right!
Sleepin' with my lead under my head quick to hop out the bed
And point and aim at every noise in the night!
Pacin' my house 'til sunlight in my armored vest, boxers, socks and cortez
Been infected by life's poisonous bite!
Since I left a man spread, full of lead, fled and left him for dead
[Verse 2: Woodie]
Show a little mercy Lord
You did drop us in the middle of some dirty wars
I know lucifer but still I give my love to you
Please understand my actions stem from what these judges do
In '98 when blackbird died yeah I cried
In '99 again I cried after Raymond died
For several years shed so many tears they dried up
Pain manifested to anger that keeps me fired up
Yeah I smile and crack jokes when I'm with the homies
But when alone I'm in a zone where few would wanna know me
I'm murder prone every time I step outside my home
Law enforcement I despise make 'em taste their own
Bad medicine they force on citizens everyday
Kidnap 'em, lock 'em in a cage watch 'em beg and pray
Humiliate 'em strip 'em butt naked bend 'em over
Make 'em cough 4 times for the fallen soldiers
Use their billy club to break their bones how they do us
Then shock 'em with their tazer gun while restrained in cuffs
Pepper spray their eyes blind and their throat 'til they can't breathe
Then let 'em die slowly knowin' that they can't leave
To finish up use their own gun to shoot 'em in the gut
Releasin' acid from their stomach that'll eat 'em up
And to anybody questionin' my way of thinkin'
Obviously haven't smelled the death these demonz reepin'
[Chorus:]
Everyday and every night of my life!
My sanity is standin' on the edge lookin' over the ledge
While mama prays I fight to keep my mind right!
Sleepin' with my lead under my head quick to hop out the bed
And point and aim at every noise in the night!
Pacin' my house 'til sunlight in my armored vest, boxers, socks and cortez
Been infected by life's poisonous bite!
