We already know that U2 are collaborating with Green Day on a cover of Scottish punk band the Skids’ “The Saints Are Coming.” But now it seems both bands will actually be performing the track live during the official reopening of the Louisiana Superdome on September 25th during the New Orleans Saints’ vs. Atlanta Falcons Monday Night Football match up. The whole thing will be broadcast live, and Rhapsody will be streaming a live audio stream.
In other U2 news, there’s a lovely little message on the band’s official site narrating their comings and goings at Abbey Road studios where they are recording new material with Rick Rubin. The man does indeed leave LA from time to time, and it seems Green Day will be joining the band in London for the recording of “The Saints Are Coming.”
More U2 and Green Day: Billie Joe and Bono Plan to Reopen Superdome

Billy Joe was great when he wrote songs about jerkin off and gettin high. Now he’s a preachy little bitch who wears eye liner. Eye liner! Hopefully Bono croaks before he does a project with some rapper.
iwannarock | 9/14/2006, 3:26 pm EST
my dak, what kind of music are you into?
tom cat | 9/14/2006, 3:35 pm EST
he looks great in the eyeliner. we don’t need any regular guy rock stars..we need the worlds best barbeque companions to be leaders of the free world
my dak | 9/14/2006, 3:36 pm EST
Quality musicianship like Pussycat Dolls, K Fed, JT, Brittney Spears, and so on. You know, people with actual musical talent.
my dak | 9/14/2006, 3:38 pm EST
Oh, I forgot NSynch and Backstreet Boys. Real interesting music that rolling stone likes to write about.
Joe | 9/14/2006, 4:06 pm EST
Tom Cat, it’s obvious you haven’t grown your pubes yet. It doesn’t get more regular than Billie Joe. Nothing Green Day is doing is original. Eyeliner shit has always been around.

K-Fed is a musician? My bad dude, I thought he was only famous because he married Britney Spears who clearly has talent (sarcasm to the FULLEST extent possible.)

The only people who still listen to Green Day are 14 year old girls

Billie Joe sucks my chocolate salty balls.
Alice | 9/14/2006, 9:06 pm EST
I’m stunned by all the negativity for a collaboration that’s for such a great cause. I’d like to hear it first before trashing it. Who knows it may actually be good.
green day rules | 9/14/2006, 11:09 pm EST
What is wrong with you people?! Green Day is incredible and they look hot in eyeliner. It’s not gay, it’s punk. And if you want to talk about preachy, hello, U2 is!!!
Mr. Tim | 9/15/2006, 3:15 am EST
But, who is shorter?
Me | 9/15/2006, 6:33 am EST
Greenday isn’t punk its pop-punk. The Ramones are punk. The Sex Pistols were punk. Dont insult punk by calling the crap Greenday produce punk.
alay42n8 | 9/15/2006, 7:47 am EST
I am 58, saw the Beatles in concert, love Zep and Green Day rocks!
Jake Burns | 9/15/2006, 8:35 am EST
Eye liner is punk? GREEN DAY RULES, YOU ARE AN IDIOT!!!!! Punk is an attitude not makeup! Every lady in an office building must be punk, they have eyeliner on!
Bilo | 9/15/2006, 8:44 am EST
Eyeliner is quite gay- But what’s more punk than gay- gay is the new punk.
I’m not gay or punk by the way.
I’ve lost my trail of thought now.
Matthew DeMello | 9/15/2006, 11:23 am EST
i can’t think of two more over sensationalized sickening front-running characters in rock and roll than Bono and Billie Joe… so this is a match made in heaven.
This coming from a Achtung Baby and Dookie fan.
Feck Tad | 9/15/2006, 1:12 pm EST
I am a born and raised New Orleanian and i am not even going to see this shit. If they really wanted to support New Orleans they would play with a brass band like Rebirth or Soul Rebels.
notaspartan | 9/15/2006, 1:31 pm EST
this is f-ing awesome! f-k anyone who says otherwise
iwannarock | 9/15/2006, 1:55 pm EST
as far as originality is concerned, it’s extremely tough to come up with an original sound nowadays. green day has taken bits and pieces of other great artists and their sounds and combined them with their (green day’s) own particular brand of punk (yeah that’s right punk)! what they’ve come up with is fantastic. American idiot is brilliant. as far as Pussycat dolls, K-fed, and britney spears are concerned, all i can say is that I hope you’re joking.
Jake Burns | 9/15/2006, 2:20 pm EST
I shall say this more politely this time: wearing eye liner DOES NOT make you punk. If so, Liza Minelli is the queen of the punks. Punk is an attitude.
iwannarock | 9/15/2006, 2:37 pm EST
i have to agree with jake burns. he seems to be the only one who knows what he’s talking about
Rachel | 9/18/2006, 2:35 pm EST
Green Day are a good rock n roll band, with good songs and are great live. I don’t care if they are considerd punk or not. Some of the bands that are considered punk don’t get under my skin or make me feel anything like GD’s music does. I could care less if someone is wearing eyeliner or not, that has nothing to do with the music.
I look forward to hearing the collaboration and seeing their performances on Monday night
Michael Meyer | 9/18/2006, 4:34 pm EST
We ran into both bands in front of Abbey Road, check out the video:

meakie | 9/18/2006, 10:20 pm EST
BY THE WAY YOU GUYS, IN GOSPEL WE CAN ROCK AND ROLL. I MEAN YOU CAN FEEL GOOD ALL OVER, THE SPIRIT WILL FLOW AND FLOW AND FLOW. HOW ABOUT TRYING THAT, I GRANT YOU IT WILL BE ALRIGHTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!
Not an Idiot of your society | 9/22/2006, 11:17 pm EST

Michael Meyer | 9/25/2006, 5:58 pm EST

Ms. Mike Joe Cool | 10/1/2006, 3:26 am EST
Green Day is indeed the greatest band in the world. They’re songs are awesome and they are the hottest men in the world. End of discussion.
RedRuby | 10/5/2006, 9:21 am EST
Billie Joe can do whatever the hell he wants to dam right do!
If you want to post bad comments on this site do so, if Billie Joe wants to wear eyeliner, he can F***ing wear eyeliner!
and people other then 14 year old girls listen to Green Day, I must agree there are a lot of tryhard fans out there, but many people of all different ages love Green Day!
and it shouldn’t matter whether people think their not punk anymore, it’s not that a big issue. Billie Joe writes about important issues now and we should all respect what he has to say!
some of you people out there really have no idea about people and there music…seriously!

Charles | 4/24/2007, 8:33 pm EST
Wow. The English language is dead. At least it is on this thread. While I agree that Dookie was an awesome album, I don’t think Greenday is “punk.” Please listen to The Ramones et al., and then come back here and post. Do you still think they are punk?
lilly jones | 4/25/2007, 8:14 am EST
i would luv 2 see billie joe & talk 3 him & watch him sing live but im religous & anyways i dont like billie joe just coz of his looks i like him 4 everything. my sister really h8s him but i always stand up 4 him and i think shes getting jelous of me luving him sooooooooo much. anyways i luv THE SAINTS ARE COMING i think i no it pretty much off by heart but i like JESUS OF SUBURBIA the most its my bestest song. and i luv the AMERICAN IDIOT album. & when a greenday song is on the radio i scream so loud(of excitedness)ecpecially when HOLIDAY cums when billie joe says CAN I GET ANOTHER AMEN i yell AMEN out that i think scares the neighbors. do i rite 2 much coz i think i do…see ya lol
