Fuzz Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I haven't posted this on the mainsite, since i'd much rather wait for a more formal clarification - but according to this forum post U2 and Green Day are going to record a song.--U2 TO RECORDWell, that is what Bono told this afternoon over the phone to Michka Assayas - author of the book Bono on Bono. Bono sang an old Skids song to him, explaining that U2 is to record it soon with Green Day. --I guess i'm posting both for dicussion, and to see if we can find anymore info about it. I don't know if it's true, but this was sent to me through the "submit news", so i figured it at least wouldn't hurt to find some more info about it.

harp baby Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Hm, that's interesting. Looking forward to hearing more about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
**nobodylikesyou** Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 What a collaboration that will be. I will be looking forward to it, as I enjoy both bands. Even if U2 is boring live compared to Green Day. Both are very talented bands and both are on top of the world right now. edit: Let me clarify, I enjoy Green Day like a lunatic, and in the 80's I liked U2's music.

justcause Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Could this be the big news? Like, could it be a charity single?I don't know The Skids at all, so I've no idea what it could sound like, but collaborations like this are either great or some kind of hideous half-breed. When I hear of 'oldie' artists collaborating with newer artists like this, I get the vision of some old vampire getting a lease of life from virgin blood, lol - and Bono could do with a transfusion, for sure!That said, I love his vocals - no-one else in rock can soar like he can, and he and Billie Joe are both tenors, it could work; and a jam between both bands would surely get the sparks flying. Fuck, The Edge and that echo pedal, though - where does that fit in?And above all, I sincerely hope that Bono doesn't give Billie Joe religion - The Jesus of Suburbia is so not a lie!!
