How U2 Plans to Help New Orleans March On
Ed. Note -- U2.com states that the bands will perform on September 25th, not September 18th, as the article below claims.
Meanwhile The Edge adds that U2 is working with producer Rick Rubin on their new album. "We are really enjoying the chemistry," he says. "It's too early to say where it's going to lead—we're nowhere near any kind of timetable or anything—but we're having a good time." Rubin has produced albums by everyone from Run DMC, Beastie Boys, and Red Hot Chili Peppers, to Dixie Chicks and Johnny Cash, but this is his first time working with U2. "I have a feeling that because of Rick's presence and some other things as well that it's going to sound very different," continues the Edge. "When people spend time with it, they'll pick up on a different spirit, and I think it is a departure. We don't want to spend a whole lot of time on this album, so hopefully we'll get on a roll and get it out there. But really, it's early days."
The first 2 paragraphs of this article discuss the Green Day song. But then Edge starts talking about the new album, and says some interesting and somewhat baffling comments:
1. "It's too early to say where it's going to lead- we're nowhere near anyd kind of timetable or anything". This is what I figured. They are in the early stages of recording.
However, he also says....
2. "We don't want to spend a whole lot of time on this album, so hopefully we'll get on a roll and get it out there."
And about the music itself, he has this to say:
3. "I have a feeling that because of Rick's presence and some other things as well that it's going to sound very different," continues the Edge. "When people spend time with it, they'll pick up on a different spirit, and I think it is a departure.
So basically, early stages of development, but they want to get it done quickly and get it out there. Rick's presence in the studio is going to make it sound different and have a different spirit, and he thinks it's a DEPARTURE. That last bit there didn't sit with me right. Anyone care to venture a guess as to what this means?
