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 RECORD

Well, 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.

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. :thumbsup:

edit: Let me clarify, I enjoy Green Day like a lunatic, and in the 80's I liked U2's music.

By "both bands" i assume you mean Green Day and Bono.

Actually I meant U2 and Green Day. Am I missing something? :/ Are you insinuating that Bono is the only musician in U2? :P

Its been in the planning stages for quite some time. Silly.

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!!

Again, lets not treat this as fact just yet. People can post whatever the fuck they want on the internet.
