To your average Joe, Richie is the guy that used to bang Denise Richards and Heather Locklear not an integral part of a world famous band. If you're objective about it you know that's the truth.
Hate to disagree with you man but I think The Edge's fame is based purely on his ridiculous nickname - it sticks in the mind. It certainly isn't anything to do with his musical prowess that's for sure.

Ask 500 people walking down the street to pick out Richie or The Edge from a line-up (no hats allowed! ) and I think the results would be pretty much evenly balanced cos next to nobody would recognise them. I could quite easily bump into The Edge walking along the street unawares and not have a clue who he was even though I have listened to and watched plenty of U2 performances before.
