U2, Green Day Reopen Superdome
The Saints Are Coming. And they look a lot like Bono and Billie Joe.
For Monday Night Football's pre-game show, Green Day played "Wake Me Up When September Ends" (just a few more days Billie!) and were joined by U2 for "Beautiful Day."
The supergroup's version of "The Saints Are Coming" is available here for 99 cents. (Profits go to Edge's Music Rising charity.)
While we wait for the footage to hit the Tube, you catch watch a little rehearsal montage. And here's the band recreating that famed Abbey Road walk earlier this month.
I love how annoyed the guy on the pink cell phone seems: "Not only I run into U2, but I ran into Green Day, and the two of them were standing in the fucking crosswalk next to us." Fucking rock stars always think they have the right of way.

that entire program is the reason I cant watch the NFL... it was pure cheese from start to finish..
they basically only stopped short of holding faux flood rescues at halftime..
no dignity at all, pure over the top american-crap-ola
The ESPN announcers make me want to remove my ears or
maybe just change the channel.

It's called iTunes NFL. Apple even has a U2 branded iPod.

That performance was fucking awful last night. Neither of those bands are from New Orleans.
I preferred the traditional singing of the National Anthem by Irma Thomas with piano by Allen Touissaint. No young, coked-up girls warbling that song to death.
As for the ESPN coverage, is there a worse voice on TV than Tony Kornholer? Those other announcers aren't fit to carry Al Michaels or John Madden's turds. They spent the entire evening talking about New Orleans rather than the football game. BORING!

Didn't see the half-time show; if it was half as corny as their "tribute" to the Columbia shuttle astronauts a few Superbowls ago featuring Josh "Every Middle-Aged White Woman's Favorite Classical Singer" Groban "You Raise Me Up" while people actually DRESSED AS ASTRONAUTS walked across the field (talk about hitting home the metaphor if that even counts as metaphorical), then I'm sure you're right. Even so, if any of those people were distracted even for a second from the fact that their home was (and maybe still is) under water then everything was worth it.
