Frasi di The Edge

The Edge, pseudonimo di David Howell Evans , è un musicista, cantante e compositore britannico naturalizzato irlandese, membro degli U2.

Il suo nome d'arte deriva sia da un'allusione al profilo appuntito del suo volto che dalla sua predisposizione alla sperimentazione come chitarrista in riferimento all'espressione "on the edge", in inglese "al limite". È stato collocato al 38º posto nella Lista dei 100 migliori chitarristi di tutti i tempi dalla rivista Rolling Stone.

The Edge Frasi e Citazioni

“Credo che il rock abbia ancora forza liberatoria. Oggi però sembra aver perso il suo istinto politico. Mi piacerebbe vedere nuove band capaci di pensare al quadro più ampio, ma non esistono.”

The Edge

“A 17, 18 anni avevamo una forza di cui non ci rendevamo conto. Eravamo ingenui, con una meravigliosa chiarezza. Non puoi veramente suonare il rock and roll da adulto. E siamo orgogliosi di non essere del tutto cresciuti.”

“It's a very unusual thing to be in a band like this. It's like being in a street gang. And it's all very well being in a street gang when you're 16, but it's bloody weird when you're 32.”

On being in U2

“My room overlooks the park and yesterday during the afternoon I'd opened up all the blinds and taken back the curtains so I could look out over the park. Come nightfall, I was grooving to some rap record in my room, bopping around the room for maybe half an hour. I don't know what I was doing, just messing around…and at one stage I looked out of the window and there were about 200 people looking up, clapping, applauding my dancing. That was funny.”
