U2 and Green Day - The Saints Are Coming single / Definitive U2 Best Of album
Music Rising was set up by The Edge, producer Bob Ezrin and Gibson Guitars'
Chairman Henry Juskiewicz . The campaign's goal is to help to rebuild the musical heart and culture of the Gulf Region by replacing the musical instruments lost during Hurricane Katrina.
U2 guitarist The Edge: "My visits to New Orleans gave me a firsthand look at the devastation which tragically destroyed the lives of thousands. The area's rich and spirited culture must continue to be restored."
Green Day singer Billie Joe Armstrong; "One year later, people continue to be devastated by Katrina's effects. We hope that by collaborating with U2, we'll remind the public that people of the Gulf Coast are still suffering and still need help to rebuild their lives."
