_GREENDAY_ Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 oh..if only they could get this done by novemeber, so for when U2 comes to australia they can bring Green Day (dreaming i know) and let them play the song for thier free concert they are meant to be playing...I dont like U2, but id got if they were gonna play that song...
e-dur Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 green day don't want to marry u2 they only do one song together, it's just a benefit-thing! :wink: so, what's the problem?!
OWfx Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 has any1 got a copy of the original of the saints are coming, the song they are going to record according to the greenday website?
piratepalmer Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 Well I got a shock when I told my old git punk partner about the song Green Day were doing with U2. He was raving about it - he had the album when he was at school apparently (he's 43 now) and it's a fantastic song. He even went as far to say that he was chuffed that they were doing it. Wonders will never cease. I think his Green Day hatred is starting to thaw........... maybe
e-dur Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 has any1 got a copy of the original of the saints are coming, the song they are going to record according to the greenday website?orginal "skids - the saints are coming" on myspace
clusterbomb Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 i cant wait to hear it, ive always loved the skids, my uncle loves them and got me into them. and the saints are coming is an awesome track. i bet tom delonge is really jellous lol. since he licks u2's ass and h8s green day or w.e lol.
masshysteria1 Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 I heard the song on youtube, wow, it'll kick ass. Definitely has a more Green Day sound than U2. Can't wait to hear it.
Tombola Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 Wow, such authority from someone in their first post. Learn the ropes, then jump on your high horse.Learn the ropes? This is a message board, not the Navy. Having more posts doesn't give you the right to be so patronising, particularly when the 'n00b' in question had a good point.
justcause Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 Oh my god. I think this sucks!! Bille and the rest of the band probably licks U2's ass. I guess I can forget Green Day to become less commercial in the future. Honestly, I think Green Day is ruining themselves. No matter how grown up they want to be, doing this this has nothing to do with being mature. They have ruined the best punk band on the planet. Green Day will never be Green Day anymore. SHIT!I think that this demonstrates the best possible use of commercialism - what are probably the world's two biggest bands coming together, to max out what they can get for New Orleans, and the raising of consciousness about the whole issue. I checked it out, and The Edge was the one who approached Green Day - he already has his own charity set up, and Green Day just said yes; I ask you, how shallow would they have to be to say no, because of image or whatnot? I think it will rock, and I'm totally looking forward to it; if Green Day get some status from it, and U2 get to feel connected to a younger fanbase again, who cares? It's all good - and it's only rock and roll!
bern Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 I'm really excited about this. although I'm not into U2 really I respect Bono for trying to make a difference in the world, making the US give money to aids in Africa, etc. It's great 2 huge rock bands can get together like this and do a song for charity despite the fact they are very different.the song sounds awesome! by this time any new music from green day is good enough for me.
I'm Not Okay Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 http://ultimate-guitar.com/news/general_mu...erty_award.html
Swing&Destroy Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 "The Saints Are Coming" is a good song, I'm sure they'll do a good cover of it - so long as Bono doesn't demand to sing almost the whole thing...
AustralianFan Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 Not too much of a fan of The Skids but I love the song, can't wait to hear what they do with it
giant_teabag Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 this is so great. U2 and Green Day are my two favorite bands of all time and I love them to death! And now they're going to record a song together. I can't believe it. as if that was not enough, the skids are so great too! I'm overwhelmed
Jillie Boe. Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 Well i don't like U2, but i remember when MCR did a cover of "Under Pressure" with The Used...I can't stand The Used but it really wasn't that bad. So maybe we should give it a chance?
Guillaume Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 U2 are good so I look forward to see what will they do with green day.
greenday519 Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 BJ and Bono, more better, impossibleYay!
TotalBasketCase13 Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 awesome pictures spark in the night!
ArmatageShanks39 Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 Oh my god. I think this sucks!! Bille and the rest of the band probably licks U2's ass.

SHIT!ya, i totally agree. Doing something for a good cause is SOOOOO un-punk. anarchy in the uk maaaannn!!! :stupid:
masshysteria1 Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 Where's the rest of U2 and Green Day? It's not just Bono and Billie doing the song, is it? I read somewhere the recording would be done in London, wonder if that's where the pics are from?
netty Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 just because those idiot club photos show just Billie and Bono, doesnt mean that the rest of the band arent there.
