The Edge Is Just Too Cool

Does anyone else think that The Edge could easily pull off a succussful run as a solo artist? I'm not saying he should leave U2 by any means, but I think it'd be interesting. He can sing and play guitar (obviously), and he also has the smarts and knowhow of making music.
So while Bono's off attempting to save the world, or he's just having a good time with some barely legal teens
, The Edge could record a great album.

Technically he did with the soundtrack to Captive - my vote goes for stay as you are - the coolest guitar dude in the biggest band in the world!

This is Edge; we're not sure where we got him.

I would just like to add that I agree wholeheartedly with the title of this thread.

Agreed with the title. Edge is too cool, he is cool enough to stay with U2.
Possibly the coolest guitarist out there? With the beanie and the moustache...

Well, seeing as he can play guitar, piano, and sing (almost) at the same time, he could make a spiffy one-man band! And I seem to recall Bono saying something about Edge being a "frustrated drummer"...
So yes, he could (but I hope he doesn't)!

Without EDGE there would be no U2... plain and simple.

There would be no U2 without any of them. Without Bono they would have no voice or image, without The Edge they wouldn't have their sound or their heart and their soul, without Larry they wouldn't have their pretty boy and the band would have never been founded, and without Adam they would have no funk and no rockstar.

I shudder to think of a funk-less U2... *whimper*
Although I'm going to state the obvious and say that without any of them, U2 would certainly not be U2!

Was that sarcasm I sensed there? If so, just listen to "The Fly."

No, actually... I am totally inspired by Adam... I'm a bassist because of him.
And I just like the phrase "funk-less."

The thought of any member of the band going solo is just wrong.

I know... I'm squirming a bit just thinking about it... I think I may have bad dreams tonight...
