In what circumstances did you meet Edge?

Such a chilled cool person. No ego just a genuine down to earth guy.

Edge was raised on renaissance choral music. It makes total sense as you listen to his playing.

I‘m interested that you can be one of the most successful musicians in history, a living legend, and still be a bit nervous in a small public speaking gig. Wise guy, and a good talk all the same.

Edge is awesome

So awesome that the Edge recommends Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers 🤘 a fave book of mine too! I respect the Edge so much, what a humble and wise soul. 🙌

Beautiful words....just made it a beautiful day.

I feel so bad watching this for free because this is a goldmine for aspiring musicians like myself

Amazing humble and wise speech. Don’t do pleasent thing. Take risk, Fail better and get out of your comfort zone to feel the emergency to create and be fully connected in the moment. Thatis the message I got from him. Thank you.

As an older brother, born in the U.S. with roots in Ireland, thank you for sharing this thoughtful wisdom.

Excellent, very inspirational speech. Possibly one of the best inspirational speeches I've ever heard! I like how The Edge keeps it real and sincere. People generally should take criticism well. A lot that of things that people can say to you, can be good criticism. Thank you for posting this.

To Mr Thee Edge I hear you brother you are a great moderator for open minded people that want to learn about art and genuinely loving kind hearted people I really appreciated you're contribution to master class

that was a cracking speech...what a lovely guy.

The easiest Irish accent to understand! U2 is great, no one plays like The Edge!

Applicable to many other fields too.

Never stray from the path. Your path. Arigato 🙏

Never thought of them as a punk band, but something much bigger than that.

BEST GUITARIST OF HE WORLD, THE EDGE XXXX LOVE

I’m always baffled at how the album October is viewed as if it was some kind of failure. To me it’s a fantastic piece of music.

Elegant

I know about the punk inspiration as they where inspired by The Clash. Though my dream is to learn the song One on the guitar. Used to play that song every day. I know other people have bigger dreams, but this is my dream.

Good job edge.

Wow! Some simple but excellent insights. Also, over and over again this was a conviction of what Hollywood/Disney/Amazon/Netflix, etc. have been putting out for far too long now. That and the impulse to blame the audience/fans for any issues rather than humbly accept criticism and grow from it.

Is it me or does it seem The Edge doesn’t have a heavy Irish Accent? It’s very subtle!

💚

This guy could have been in any band and it would've been successful. His mindset and personality are beyond stable and wise. Add to that he has bono with him who is even more talented, no way these guys can not continue to be legends.

In 1978 you were already a ripping / riffing guitarist,… and playing professionally.

I love this man so much. U2 could function without Bono, without Larry or without Adam without much hassle, but never without Dave Evans. What a man.

If they had stayed with that mentality of the Joshua tree they would of had more fans would be liked alot more. Me for one didn't like them as much after the Joshua tree

I think he pays tax, but not sure. The beatles did not like paying tax, that's what tax man is about. Bowie also changed his passport to a Swiss one, to avoid taxes. Probably for political aesthetics.
