I suspect U2’s name is mud amongst the elite producer club. Why would any of them bother working with U2 when there’s a good chance U2 will kick you out and then shop the material you worked on to another producer?
Yea, even if Danger Mouse had kept his experiences to himself you can practically harvest the bummed out energy from his post-SOI interviews.
Other than name recognition and cred, I’m not sure Godrich would do much good for U2 these days anyway and I’m surprised they didn’t try working with him after Pop.
I’ve mentioned it before, but I’d like to see the band work with Jeff Lynne in some capacity. Highly likely though that they’re stuck with whoever is already in their camp and can justify the Paycheck Vs. The Bullshit.
