Dik Evans pictures?

[Edge_Orchestra]

Not sure if I'm posting this in the right place... Here'e the request...

Other than a photo of Dik & Virgin Prunes in the "Into The Heart" book and a later picture of Dik with Edge and Morliegh from the Zoo era... Haven't seen many pictures of The Edge's older brother.

Anyone have any of him playing guitar with Virgin Prunes? Interested to see what guitars and such Dik used for his work in Virgin Prunes.

There are quite a few photos at Virgin Prunes :: Home

There used to be a couple of recent photos of the band at gavinfriday.com, from around 2004 when their albums were re-released. They may still be on there but the owner of the website recently redesigned it and it's not very user friendly, so sadly I haven't been able to relocate them for you.

Most of the images on this site are of guggi and gavin but a think there's a couple of Dik.

I don't know if that was called for. He was in U2 at the start after all and many people here are fans of the Virgin Prunes.

He got cut cause he was a substandard axe man. No room for dead wood in U2.

Not so much. Did the band feel that one guitar fit the bill better? Yes.

But substandard? No. And yet more people have heard of Dik Evans than you. =O)

Y So Srs?

Actually, he didn't get cut. He left the band of his own accord. He preferred to dedicate himself to school full-time. (There's an interesting bit about this in Matt McGee's new book, U2 Diary, which I'm really enjoying.)

The whole facial hair thing seems to be a family thing.

Nice pics, can't say I've ever seen that many of Dik before!

Oh. My. God.



I've NEVER seen any pictures of Edge as a child, this is soooo cute.

Even as a baby he looked lke a little curious scientist.

Very cool! Where did these come from? Are there others of Dik playing guitar?

Thanks for posting these, BonoFox!

It gets pretty freaky if you compare that pic you quoted with macphisto.... Gav and Bono do really look alike at certain moments!

Yeah, 1993 IS where Bono became Gavin with the Machphisto character. I think that Gavin had some input on that character too. But that arty "Virgin Prunes-vibe" was there in the staging, songs and characters of 1991-1993.

Heck that was when Edge even got the goatee like big brother Dik.

I know that the Virgin Prunes are not everyone's cup of tea but they are worth checking out The "If I Die... I Die" album is full of good stuff. "Walls of Jericho" and "Pagan Love Song" come to mind.

^I know what you mean about the VP not being everyones cup of tea, I can definately do with out the visuals...WEIRD FREAKY STUFF!!
