U2

It was upsetting when I heard they were working with Will.I.Am as he didn't really contribute much at all but now DeadMau5? What's next, a duet with Taylor Swift?

Seeing the documentary about the making of Achtung Baby has me thinking about the fact that they were a band that were rebelling against something during the 1980s as it featured an animated sequence of the members throwing stones at something until by the Rattle & Hum period, they had nothing to throw act except each other? Now, they've become everything they rallied against in some ways. What would the U2 of the early 80s think of the U2 of now?

They've been working with Danger Mouse, not Deadmau5.

Quite a lot actually. One sounds absolutely nothing like the other. I'm actually intrigued by a U2 album produced by Danger Mouse.

Agreed, though frankly id be pretty curious about a deadmau5 U2 production as well.

That has potential to go either way. Just truly fucking terribly awful, or would actually reinvigorate the band into not writing every song like it's going to be a top 40 hit and get back in that Zooropa/Pop mentality.
