Lou Reed/Metallica Collabo Anticipation Thread

You find the best group on the planet to make a 10 track/90 minute album and pitchfork gives it a 1.2?

lol, st. anger was literally 75 minutes long

no doubt it would've been twice that length could a single cd hold that much music

i believe lou zoom technology allows lou reed to make a CD as long as he fucking needs it to be.

Well we already know that Pitchfork thought the greatest album of last decade, St. Anger, was only worth a 0.8 so I'm extrapolating the value added by Lou Reed.

hehehe

10.8 it is!

pitchfor will give it a 1.2

my man

This is my favourite thread on ILX right now.

"I wouldn't call it the heart of darkness", muses Reed. "I'd call it the heart of anticipation."

I haven't heard a single note and I've already pitched a review to The Wire.

yesss

here's my review, to be published soon on pfork, 10.0
"This is the best thing Lou ever did. And he did it with the best group he could possibly find on the planet. By definition, everybody involved was honest. This has come into the world pure. They pushed as far as they possibly could within the realms of reality. It’s maybe the best thing done by anyone, ever. It could create another planetary system."

Pitchfork is going to look pretty foolish after giving the Kanye album a 10.0 and they have to invent a new rating for this album. I propose 10.o_0

:-D

"Lulu" - Lou Reed and Metallica:

8.9 - Best New Planetary System

lol

loulol

"This," concludes Lou, "is the best thing I ever did. And I did it with the best group I could possibly find on the planet. By definition, everybody involved was honest. This has come into the world pure. We pushed as far as we possibly could within the realms of reality."

The last time he started frothing like this, it was about Growing Up In Public. And St Anger would have hit 90 minutes if they hadn't cut the guitar solos out.

at 141 minutes, "Some Kind of Monster" is way too short.

Shoulda been an MTV series.

Throughout two years of filming, over 1,000 hours of video were recorded, documenting the band's recording process.

man i'm seriously praying to god that they are documenting these recording sessions

Yeah, but then they cut out the solo scenes.

(xpost)

they got all the Lulu sessions on video but they had to destroy them because they were too harrowing.

997 hours of hetfield cryin' his eyes out.

Hope Torben's keeping an eye on Lou.

hope mustaine & lars's dad are both in the inevitable documentary too

I wonder if Lou refers to the "Black Album" as the "Colored Album".

Lou has never heard The Black Album.
Lou has never heard any Metallica.

"What ever happened to my little Long Islander friend? I miss you, Lou...I miss Sterling"

"Do you people have a curfew or anything like that? Does it matter what time you go home tonight? Do you have school tomorrow? Because we can do some normal length songs or a dozen twenty minute long tracks with no solos, whichever makes it easier for you.”

cannot WAIT for this. serious mega anticipation

I hear this great man was judging everyone there on their honesty

And we all know he is a font of wisdom

LITTLE DOG

duuuude when is there going to be another song title REVEALED

I like the way LITTLE DOG is a combination of two stooges titles

do y'all think it will be lou singing on every track or are we gonna get het vocals too?

He does back-up panting and woofs on LITTLE DOG

the creamy doo-wop harmonies of het and lou are featured heavily, yes.

hope we're lucky enough to get some kirk backing vocals too

maybe lars has a poignant little mo tucker-esque vocal showcase a la after hours

"i wish it could happen to mee-aaggggggh"

Fucking Americans. Why aren't we going to get Morrissey fronting Iron Maiden or something as equally awesome?

Ladies and gentlemen...POWERSMITH
