U2 Back In The Studio With Rick Rubin, Green Day

U2 is working on material for its next studio album with
producer Rick Rubin, according to the band's Web site. The
group has been at work on the as-yet-untitled follow-up to
2004's "How To Dismantle an Atomic Bomb" since last month.
While in the studio, U2 will be joined by Green Day to
record a cover of Scottish punk band the Skids' "The
Saints Are Coming."
Proceeds from the track will benefit Music Rising, an
instrument replacement fund co-founded by U2 guitarist the
Edge last summer in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
"One year later, the devastation is still fresh in our
minds, and we'd like to keep it in yours," Green Day said
in a post on its Web site. "New Orleans has always been a
special city to us, being a hotbed of music and
creativity, and it's hard to believe parts of the Gulf
region still remain devastated. We feel that it's
important to continue to raise awareness."
