Green Day have tapped famed Nirvana producer Butch Vig to oversee the long-awaited follow-up to 2004's 'American Idiot,' as Vig's Garbage-mate Shirley Manson told talk show host Carson Daly on Friday night.The move marks the first time Green Day has worked without producer Rob Cavallo since 1994's 'Dookie,' save for their self-produced 2000 effort 'Warning.' Vig, who in addition to working on Nirvana's '91 classic 'Nevermind', has worked with the likes of Sonic Youth and the Smashing Pumpkins.
Little else is known about the upcoming Green Day disc, which is expected in 2009. Earlier this year, the group toured briefly behind 'Stop Drop and Roll!!!,' the debut album from side project the Foxboro Hot Tubs.
