Lou Reed/Metallica Collabo Anticipation Thread

you'd almost think they would just not even have him there, like the rolling stones and their bass player.

Somebody should do a shop of The Notorious Metallica Brothers

(sorry for iPhone glitch post)

wait when did Lou start wearing white footwear

We're still between Memorial and Labor Days, after all.

hope there's some quality backing vocals a la "u flush it out, u flush it out"

kind of hilarious that they are rolling out song titles one by one. o god, what will the next song title be!

lol

should we poll the song titles they've announced already. i would vote "junior dad"

something genuinely touching about Lou in that new photo. Can't quite work out what the eww/awww factor is tho.

The only thing genuinely touching is that new guy and his balls.

there's a 19 minute long track called 'Junior Dad'

There's a version of this song on youtube btw with Lou, Laurie & John Zorn and some other dudes. And it sounds like a mess with those guys, so who knows how it'll end up?

LITTLE DOG!

i'm so fucking excited for this

oh yeah this sounds perfectly suited to an arrangement by metallica

Little Dog AKA Master of Whippets

what's lou playing there - an etch a sketch?

really feel like kirk should've written all the lyrics

or whoever it was that penned "you flush it out, you flush it out"

"Junior Dad" reminds me of those crappy body switching movies like

i don't think enough people are freaking about about "Little Dog"

Metallica and Lou Reed sat together in the studio and said, "This is a song we have performed together. The name of this song will be Little Dog"

marinate on that

oh shit, they just revealed the cover art

i wonder if the guys in metallica got a say in naming any of the songs

it's beautiful:

Junior Dad
Little Dog
Mistress Dread
Pumping Blood

based on these titles, I predict the next song to be revealed will be titled:
Uncle Death

lol

Crying Kids

Stepfather Sorrow

Disgruntled Godmother

lol

"Sad Lady"

Major Dad

lawl

When I was a young man, no bigger than this
Simon & Simon on CBS was not to be missed.

LOU MADE METALLICA CRY!!!

A recent recording session with Lou Reed left Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett and frontman James Hetfield a blubbering mess. The group were working on a song called ‘Junior Dad’ for their upcoming collaborative album called ‘Lulu.’ The lyric, “Say hello to junior dad / The greatest disappointment / Age withered and changed him,” stopped the show.

“(Reed) managed to take out both guitar players in Metallica in one fell swoop with his amazing poetic lyrics,” Hammett tells Britain’s Mojo magazine. Hetfield’s father abandoned him when he was 13. Hammett was struggling with the recent loss of his father.

“I had just lost my father literally three or four weeks previous,” he said. “I had to run out of the control room, and I found myself standing in the kitchen, sobbing away. James came into the kitchen in the same condition. He was sobbing too. It was insane.”

Somehow the world seems a more peaceful place knowing that two of rock ‘n’ roll’s heaviest hitters aren’t afraid to share a good cry from time to time. One figures they hugged it out and got back to work quickly. ‘Lulu’ — in stores Nov. 1 — is an album based on music Reed had originally written for a theatrical production. He changed course after playing with Metallica at the 2009 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame concert in New York City.

LOU ZOOM!

Metallouco

Lou commissioning an iPhone app to simultaneously aid his failing eyes and publicize himself is very Lou. Though I can imagine a few other boho-establishment types doing it too. Byrnezoom. Lynchzoom.

a friend of mine says it actually works p good

fuckin a it works pretty good. lou would never lend his name to an inferior product.
