−
David  nació el 8 de agosto de 1961 en el hospital Barking Maternitym de  Londres Este (Inglaterra), donde sus padres galeses, Garvin y Gwenda  Evans, residían por entonces. Un año más tarde, la familia Evans  atravesó el mar de Irlanda para establecerse en Malahide, cerca de  Dublín, ya que la empresa en la que trabajaba Garvin, Plessy  Engineering, le ofreció un empleo allí. Dave era el mediano de tres  hermanos, con un hermano mayor, Dick y una hermana menor, Jill. De niño, Dave asistió a la escuela de St. Adrew de la Iglesia de Irlanda, en  Malahide, en donde coincidió con Adam Clayton, antes de que este fuera a  la escuela preparatoria. Dave se trasladó al instituto de enseñanza  media de Mount Temple, aunque al principio le constó ser aceptado, por  ser un niño reservado por naturaleza. David fue un estudiante aplicado  que trabajaba duro y que complacía a todos los profesores. En esa época  su ambición era ir a la universidad y convertirse en médico. <br  />

En Mount Temple se interesó por la guitarra y el  piano, tras los pasos de su padre. Después de que su madre le comprara  una vieja guitarra acústica por una libra en una venta por liquidación, Dave se habituó a tocar el instrumente. Dave no había visto el anuncio  de Larry Mullen en el que buscaba músicos, pero gracias a la inspiración  del profesor de música de Mount Temple, Albert Bradshaw, Dave no fue,  junto con su hermano Dick, a la prueba que tuvo lugar en casa de Larry.  Allí, después de un repaso de viejos clásicos de Led Zeppelin y Deep  Purple, él mostró a los demás presentes que podía tocar de verdad.  Aceptado como integrante del grupo (Feedback), Dave empezó a salir con  los demás miembros del grupo, tanto dentro como fuera de la escuela. Se  le aceptó en el grupo The Lypton Village y fue bautizado por Bono como  Dave Edge, en parte porque estaba al filo (edge) de las cosas, viéndolas  venir, y en parte gracias a la forma de su cabeza, netamente afilada.

The  Edge siguió los estudios en Mount Temple al mismo tiempo que proseguía  con su afición musical en The Edge hubo de abandonar la escuela, les  dijo a sus padres que se tomaría un año sabático de los estudios, para  ver lo que sucedía con el grupo. Durante esta época, a finales de los  años setenta, The Hype y luego U2 (desde marzo de 1978 en adelante)  empezó a desarrollar su sonido. Aunque despegaron bajo la influencia de  los grupos más importantes de los primeros años setenta, los movimientos  punk y new wave empezaron a conformar la música de U2. Asimismo, algunos de los conjuntos estadounidenses punk/new wave como los Ramones y  Televisión influyeron en el grupo, y a The Edge en particular. Su  estilo de tocar evolucionó cuando se pudo comprar una guitarra Gibson  Explorer, que todavía usa en la actualidad. Asociada con ello, figura la  adquisición de un equipo de eco Memory Man que también fue influyente  en el desarrollo del sonido U2.<br />
+
                from the Simon Wiesenthal Center.
−
A medida que  U2 empezó a crecer musicalmente en dicha época, también lo hizo su  interés por el tema espiritual. The Edge fue uno de los tres miembros de  conjunto que se unió al grupo Cristiano Carismático Shalom de Dublín.  Ello supuso una gran cantidad de búsqueda espiritual: ¿era correcto ser  cristiano y estar en un grupo de rock ‘n’ roll?<br />

Unos días después él tomó una decisión después de oír el  consejo de Bono de que siguiera lo que le dictara el corazón… Seguiría  comprometido con U2. <br />

March 14, 2005 Bruce Springsteen inducts U2 into the Rock
−
La  aportación de The Edge a la música de U2 a lo largo de los años es  imposible de cuantificar. Desde las primeras notas de I Will Fallow, del  álbum Boy, a los airosos acordes de Beautiful Day, de All That You  Can´t Leave Behind, está presente su marca registrada. Tende a evitar el  largo solo interminable, excepto en la antigua composición Street  Mission. En su lugar prefiere los riff preciso, cortos y memorables, por  ejemplo en Rejoice, de October, Bad, de The Unforgettable Fire, y  Spanish Eyes, un descarte de las sesiones de The Joshua Tree. En  ocasiones se puede notar su agresividad y frustración en los acordes que  utiliza: Sunday Bloody Sunday, Pride y Bullet The Blue Sky son ejemplos  fundamentales. Y otras veces puede ser amable y melancólico como en One  y Please. En 1996 se le concedió merecidamente el premio Rory Gallagher  Rock Musician, que se otorgaba por vez primera.<br />
+
              and Roll Hall of Fame.
−
Su  capacidad como teclista se subestima a menudo, aunque no deja de añadir  una calidad diferente al sonido U2. Los temas October y New Year's Day  vienen a la mente a este respecto. Asimismo, su aportación vocal a U2  con frecuencia se pasa por alto. Canciones como Van Diemen's Land y Numb  son una muestra de su registro. Su interpretación del solo de Sunday  Bloody Sunday en las últimas actuaciones de la gira Pop Mart fue uno de  los momentos culminantes de espectáculo. Finalmente su papel como  director musical del grupo le ha supuesto que se le reconociera su  talento para la producción. En Zooropa, The Edge se implicó tanto en el  álbum, que se le acreditó como productor junto a Flood y Brian Eno. <br />
