While David Howell Evans may not be known by everybody, his stage persona ‘The Edge’ certainly is. Most known for his position as lead guitarist in the Irish band U2, The Edge is known for constantly switching out his performance guitars during concerts. When asked about his ability to nail it on a guitar, Evans replied that ‘he is a musician.’ He firmly believes that guitar is just one of the things he can do musically and that he should not be defined by just that.
