An der Edge zum 2. Teil seines pers\u00f6nlichen Jahrhunderts. Der Gitarrist der irischen Band U2 feiert heute seinen 50. Geburtstag.<\/p>\n<p>Geboren als David Howell Evans im englischen London, zog seine Familie ein Jahr nach Evans Geburt in die N\u00e4he von Irlands Hauptstadt.<br \/>\nZu Highschool-Zeiten nahm der musikbegeisterte Teenager Klavier- und Gesangsunterricht. Auf einer 1 Pfund teuren Gitarre vom Flohmarkt spielt The Edge viel und oft bis sein Bruder ihm Hilfe f\u00fcr den Bau einer eigenen, akustisch weniger anstrengenden Gitarre anbietet. Mit dem selbstgebauten St\u00fcck stellt sich The Edge bei Larry Mullen junior, sp\u00e4terer Schlagzeuger von U2, vor, der f\u00fcr die Neugr\u00fcndung einer Band noch Mitglieder sucht. Sowohl The Edge als auch sein Bruder Dick werden Mitglied der Band &#8222;Feedback&#8220;. Evan&#8217;s Bruder steigt allerdings kurze Zeit sp\u00e4ter wieder aus.<br \/>\nKurz nach dem Ausstieg Dicks und der fast zeitgleichen Umbennenung der Band in &#8222;U2&#8220; kann die Band erste Erfolge verzeichnen. Bis heute gilt U2 als eine der erfolgreichsten Bands Irlands.<br \/>\nMit seinem K\u00f6nnen und seinen U2-typschen Riffs tr\u00e4gt The Edge entscheidend zum Klang der Band bei. <\/p>\n<p>The Edge bet\u00e4tigt sich schon fr\u00fch auch au\u00dferhalb der Band. Er ist an verschiedenen Band-Projekten beteiligt und arbeitet als Komponist f\u00fcr Soundtracks (Captive). Das Hilfs-Gen seines ber\u00fchmten Lead-S\u00e4ngers Bono tr\u00e4gt auch The Edge in sich und gr\u00fcndet so im Jahr 2008 die Initiative &#8222;Music Rising&#8220;, die vom Hurricane Katrina betroffene Musiker mit Equipment unterst\u00fctzt.<\/p>\n<p>The Edge feiert heute seinen 50.
