This first line-up consisted of Ecky Lamoh(vocals) , Eet Sjahranie (lead guitar), Fajar Satritama (drums) and Iwan Xaverius(bass)
The Beast (1992) was their debut album with tracks such as 'Ikuti' and 'Evolusi'. 'Evolusi' a short instrumental track is regarded a cult track particularly among local guitar players since is distinguished composisition at the time. The succes of the Beast earned them a opening slot for Sepultura (prominent Trash band from Brazil) concert in 1992 in Jakarta.
After Edane first album Ecky left, but the band kept Edane as their name. Heri Batara (vocals) or better known as Ucok, joined the second line-up. This line up released 'Jabrik' (1994), 'Borneo' (1996), and one greatest hits album '9299' (1999). But afterward Ucok concentrated more on the management side of the band. Ucok's position was taken over by Trison Manurung (vocals), the vocalist of then the inactive band Roxx, a prominent rock band. Trison was selected through rigorous two stage selection. The third line-up produced the album '170 Volts' (2002) with the smash hit 'Kau pikir kaulah segalanya'. This album saw the progression of Eet's guitar sound that became heavier compared to the more 80's rock in the previous albums.
The third line up didn't last long in mid-2003 on 9 July 2003, Trison resigned from Edane to reform Roxx. Edane got Robby Matulandi (vocals) who was chosen from a Guns n Roses Tribute band. The fourth line up released 'Time to Rock' in 2005. The hit single 'Cry Out' was included in the Spiderman 2 Asian Edition Soundtrack including an accompanying videoclip with the webslinger in it. Edane once again changes line up, this time Robby and Iwan Xaverius left the band leaving only Eet and Fajar as the remaining original members.
Edane released 'Edan' in 2010 with the english written 'Living Dead' as the lead single. The fifth line-up consist of Eet Sjahranie (Lead guitars , Backing vocals), Ervin Nanzabakri(Lead Vocal) , Daeng Oktav (bass) , Hendra Zamzami(rhythm guitar) and Fajar Satritama (Drums)

Best of Me
Edane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
got to shake out the pride if you dare if you want all the best of me
got to choke on the strife if you can if you want all the best of me
got to take on the life if you tend if you should want the best
Don't you care that your heart will loose its grasp for reality
Do you cry for yourself in the darkness of apathy
new sun will rise through the cracks in the darkness
why destroy, why
you thought the price and a blood you put down could buy all of the of me
you thought the slice you made without regret would
cut out all of the best in me
you sought to pry through my armor and light to get to what is best in me
you ought to cry through your anchor and lust to get to what is best
don't you care that your heart will loose its grasp for reality
do you cry for yourself in the darkness of apathy
new sun will rise through the cracks in the darkness
though i may fall alone (i know) they will feel my clarity
why destroy, why
they lie, you lie, and the others all had to lie
they lie, you lie, and the others all had to die
don't wanna feel dead when i know i'm just playing dead, is it a crime
don't wanna feel dead when i know i'm just playing dead
there's gonna be only i, there's gonna be only i
there'll be only one, there'll be only one
The lyrics of Edane's song Best of Me is a call to action, a challenge to take on the challenges of life if one wants to experience the best of what life has to offer. The verses contain various challenges that the listener must overcome to unlock the best of the singer's potential. The chorus, on the other hand, questions the listener's motives and actions, asking if they care about losing touch with reality or if they cry for themselves in apathy. The lyrics suggest that true success and fulfillment can only come from facing challenges head-on and embracing life fully, rather than trying to pry out the best of someone without putting in any effort.
The song's central message is one of self-empowerment and resilience, encouraging the listener to take control of their life and not be discouraged by setbacks or failures. The lyrics also reflect on the theme of identity, with the singer asserting themselves as an individual rather than conforming to outside pressures. The repeated phrase "why destroy, why" further emphasizes the importance of preserving oneself and standing strong against negativity and destructive forces.
