          Back in 1980, when U2 emerged out of Ireland with the hard-charging, post-punk single "I Will Follow," the band seemed so humble and unassuming.

          Little did the world know that the band would explode, both in sound and worldwide popularity, and become one of the last truly great and gigantic rock bands.

          For 40 years now, U2 has churned out arena rock, alternative rock, and pop classics, from soul-crushing love songs like "With or Without You" and anthems like "Beautiful Day" to unabashedly political ragers like "Sunday Bloody Sunday." Bono has led U2 through it all, and he never would've become one of the most famous people in the world without an "Edge." The distinctive ringing, jangling, stadium-filling guitar work of the Edge matches perfectly with Bono's soulful, expressive, soaring voice.
