Every time I hear the Edge speak - I am reminded of why I love him and his guitar playing. Wow. Thanks edge. I’m a drummer and you inspire me more than any musician in the world. Thank you for being you sir. God Bless
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.
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.
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
I was able to give him a personal letter outside the hotel in Amsterdam. So cool...he said nothing and looked at me. He accepted it and stuck it inside his leather jacket. Verry nice person xxx
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.
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.
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.
Carefully listening to Edge.. 'Talking 'To his Audience .- .Has A Number Of Benefactors..It's A Fact of Benefits Scheduled To Fit The Audience. The notion of being Politically Correct , Combined With Opinion ..Is nothing more, or less ..A free Speech flexing it's muscles. Thanks for Sharing Edge.
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
Sorry to disagree but to me what's made them so special was the way they reinvented themselves. I adore the Joshua Tree but actually prefer Achtung Baby.
You have just heard him say you have to take risks !, the 90's were experimental, and made their second ( I'm not sure, maybe their greatest album) Achtung Baby, people who likes their bands to stay in the same place are shallow, no offense, would you be still listening to them with the Joshua Tree # 11 ?, lol.
huh? music is'nt all about technique it's more about the song itself. Remember the average listener(especially the one's that count the most i.e. women) does not give a crap's ass how fast or how many notes/scales you can do
@@kaiulrich6185 absolutely not boring to me! His melodic and ryhthmic and harmonic crafting is musically phenomenal, nothing less than refreshing!...that is, for what he had created in the 80's/90's! In the last 2 decades not so much. Anyhow if he's so boring to you what are you doing watching his "masterclass"- you trolling?
And the rest of the pop and rock stars , politicians,actors,sports stars ,bankers, filthy rich , ??????????? I suppose they all pay the correct tax 😂😂😂😂 typical U2 hater comment been done a million times and it's boring
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.
I've met Edge a few times. Really wonderful person. Humble, thoughtful, kind, respectful. amazing that's remained this way with all the success
yes indeed!
In what circumstances did you meet Edge?
Every time I hear the Edge speak - I am reminded of why I love him and his guitar playing. Wow. Thanks edge. I’m a drummer and you inspire me more than any musician in the world. Thank you for being you sir. God Bless
Such a chilled cool person.
No ego just a genuine down to earth guy.
Gotta love Edge ... so so down to earth .. bless him .. !!
He's a servant. Similar to another famous David.
@@ericgibson8796 Forgive me Eric lad ..but i`m at a bit of a loss as to the other "Dave" might be please enlighten ?...
@@2000stephenellis Gilmour?
@@zarniwoopb6078 Yes... Dave G too is a rather nice fella !!
@2000stephenellis David of the Bible. King David King of Judah and Israel. David Gilmore is an atheist on his way out.
Edge was raised on renaissance choral music. It makes total sense as you listen to his playing.
Guru Edge, humble and epic, what a legend
What a great man - so gentle in his approach to everything - not loud or outspoken and certainly not OTT at all in anything he does.
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.
Humble to the core❤ Love this guy🤘
Beautiful words....just made it a beautiful day.

Edge is awesome
U2 is the best Rock Band Hall of Time 🇧🇷
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. 🙌

As an older brother, born in the U.S. with roots in Ireland, thank you for sharing this thoughtful wisdom.
Love The Edge really decent guy, that's a pretty big Connect Four board.
Hahahaha👍
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
I feel so bad watching this for free because this is a goldmine for aspiring musicians like myself
Edge’s unintentional ASMR.
that was a cracking speech...what a lovely guy.
Applicable to many other fields too.
Good advice, I’ll take it, cheers.
wena Edge, grande ! saludos desde Chile

Sometimes silence is more precious than words; what a marvelous experience.
the edge is like most of the irishs.....a genuine personn

Just perfect!
amazing -= cheers from Vegas
He keeps your attention.
The most perfect album...in my opinion,UNFORGETTABLE FIRE.Your guitar playing is the reason!
Muito bom. obrigado
total legend
Never thought of them as a punk band, but something much bigger than that.
What an elegant, great guy.
Genius.👌🇦🇺
Awesome wisdom and much respect for this man! May God Bless you!

Brilliant thoughts! It's just a gift and pleasure that a Man of this callibre shares his experience.
Edge is impressive person. And a rock star.
An inspiration to many ....... thank u. 🙏
Genuine ❤
Never stray from the path. Your path. Arigato 🙏
Perfect…
The easiest Irish accent to understand! U2 is great, no one plays like The Edge!
That’s because he’s Welsh born in England to be fair.
@@davidg0101he has lived in Ireland since he was one year old.
@@colinmcdonough4034 "Had", I'm pretty sure he's been In California for decades now
Wise words
A true Scholar and a Gentleman.....
Elegant
Is it me or does it seem The Edge doesn’t have a heavy Irish Accent? It’s very subtle!
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.
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.
Mmmmmmm......... Edge is pretty well off the charts talented.
Good job edge.
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.
The Edge's take on criticism and ego is sound advice
🍀🎸
💚
👍🏻

Half of U2’s English contingent.
*Welsh ;)
He is not English
@@kevcork68 he's welsh
I missed the part where he plays guitar
that's the best part of the video.
My English Has'nt Progressed very far........Oh My English....
In 1978 you were already a ripping / riffing guitarist,… and playing professionally.
He doesn't drone on anyway ..................:/ snooze
U2 SAYS ,MORE CHARITY MONEY
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
same here! their sound became less and less unique after that album...with exception of beautiful day.
Actung Baby would beg to differ.
Sorry to disagree but to me what's made them so special was the way they reinvented themselves. I adore the Joshua Tree but actually prefer Achtung Baby.
Achtung Baby...you should give it a listen or two.
You have just heard him say you have to take risks !, the 90's were experimental, and made their second ( I'm not sure, maybe their greatest album) Achtung Baby, people who likes their bands to stay in the same place are shallow, no offense, would you be still listening to them with the Joshua Tree # 11 ?, lol.
U2 hasn't taken an artistic risk since 1997.
Wrong... 2009's No Line On The Horizon was definitely an artistic risk.
What ???? he doesn't play a note !!!!
Please fix your ears
What a nice and humble person....if only he could play the guitar a little bit better.
huh? music is'nt all about technique it's more about the song itself. Remember the average listener(especially the one's that count the most i.e. women) does not give a crap's ass how fast or how many notes/scales you can do
@@vracan I‘m not talking about shredding skills. But everything he plays is super boring plus a delay.

@@kaislivesoundchannel4706 whatever dude
Does Edge think he’s talking to 4yr olds?
Please Lara. Tell us what the edge should have said? We are all waiting for your brilliance.
@@stevepowilatis2002 _Love_ this response. Still waiting, Lara......
Take the cotton out of your ears and put it in your mouth and learn something
So humble he doesn't even pay tax.
You honestly believe the edge and u2 don’t pay tax?
Not true; they do pay tax.
And the rest of the pop and rock stars , politicians,actors,sports stars ,bankers, filthy rich , ??????????? I suppose they all pay the correct tax 😂😂😂😂 typical U2 hater comment been done a million times and it's boring
And I suppose you do right ?. they pay taxes !, get a clue or get out of here !!!!#£€*$@.
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.
Edge talking is like Bono playing guitar.
THE EDGE IS A WONDERFUL RESPECTFUL MAN, HUMBLE HE'S THE BEST MAN IN BETWEEN IRISH PEOPLE OF U2!! LOVE.
BEST GUITARIST OF HE WORLD, THE EDGE XXXX LOVE
