For what it's worth, Lars is not the only U2 fan in the band (though he's the most vocal - if you ever hear him talk about Red Rocks or Achtung Baby, you'd swear he was one of us). I remember at the VH1 Big in 200(0? 1?), James was vocally excited about seeing U2 in an interview. I really wish I could find that on youtube or something.
I do enjoy both bands quite a bit, and there may be something in there that would work, but I don't know that a collaboration is that necessary. James could sing HMTMKMKM, though, and maybe Kirk could add a wicked solo...

Update on October Rock and Roll Hall of fame re: what U2 plays
From atu2.com
"Already thinking ahead to the landmark Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25th anniversary concerts that U2 are set to participate in this fall, I’m growing excited. Each of the two 5-hour shows will include some of the greatest acts of all time and be hosted by consummate actor Tom Hanks.
But forget about hearing U2 burst out with “Breathe” or “Magnificent.” There are hints that old favorites are on the roster—plus a few surprises.
Jann Wenner, co-founder of the Rock Hall, is recently quoted as saying “Artists will play their own hit songs and perform tracks which inspired them.”
I predict that we can count on a few of the “standards” from the U2 catalog (”Sunday Bloody Sunday” or “One,” etc.), but what cover(s) will they perform? “Can’t Help Falling in Love?” “Helter Skelter?” I would imagine we’ll get something by Elvis or The Beatles, but wouldn’t it be cool if they blasted out some Led Zeppelin or another legendary artist that we haven’t heard them emulate?
If you have any ideas about what non-U2 songs they may pull out of the hat, I’d love to hear your predictions in the comments field."
So what's your bet on the covers ? U2's talked up anyone from Lennon/Beatles/Who/Ramones/Stones/Bowie/Reed... in the time of their career, as well as already covering most of these names.

How many songs can they play in total? Expect the U2 songs to be drawn from a pool of:
Streets / ISHFWILF / One / Pride / Beautiful Day / Vertigo / Elevation / Sunday Bloody Sunday / Bad (would take this above pretty much all of these)
Covers? Hopefully Beatles, Elvis, maybe a bit of Dylan? They'll play it safe-ish to make sure they don't screw up the performance.

Beatles, Ramones, or The Clash.
If they belted out Whole Lotta Love, however, I'd pass out.

That's a very odd trio to put in one show, I doubt many people are fans of all three.
Tickets still available for US $2,504.50
Yep and its because their adding a Big Name act which is bigger than U2 and Metallica! If they do announce it the $2,504.50 seats will be gone! Its not the Rolling Stones I promise you that. It's a big rumor in the music business industry so U2 and Metallica will be run over by this act.

A Springsteen cover would be really special. The Promised Land is my choice. Something by Bowie with Lou Reed with them would be pretty cool too.
Pink Floyd... Led Zepplin? You can't mean Madonna or Prince?
And is it really suppose to be 5 hrs? Where can I read more about this? Thanks!

the galling part of that isn't the $2500, its the $4.50 tacked onto the end.
