Lou Reed/Metallica Collabo Anticipation Thread

body/haughty is fucking shameful

^^^^lyric from Mistress Dread iirc

you think lou's shame issues would've prevented that couplet from being written

Tables don't feel shame, duh.

In the cover art, Lulu is on a white table. Think about it.

The hair on your shoulders
The smell of your armpit
The taste of your vulva and everything on it
We all really love you

i welcome this collaboration. it's a convenient, efficient means to end two careers that urgently must end.

another guy who does not get it

The Ten Worst Heavy Metal Albums of All-Time!
Posted Tue Sep 27, 2011 9:56am PDT by Rob O'Connor in List Of The Day

With the impending doom of Loutallica and its 19-minute "Junior Dad" lurking in the pre-release shadows, it's time to list the Ten Worst Heavy Metal Albums of All-Time. (For those blissfully unaware, Loutallica is the forthcoming Lou Reed / Metallica album that no one is looking forward to.)

dude this guy hates never say die

clearly he has never gotten anything

doesn't even know that Loutallica is the name of the band, not the album.

That's an amusing article, but hey.

"Never say die" has an awful cover, but.

I don't know any of those albums well enough to say yay or nay.

David Fricke on 'The View'

I AM THE FRICKE
good comment: "i hated it!! HATED IT!!! i was expecting sumtin more metallica, not lou reed. why the hell is he just talkin n how are we s'posed to sing along if we want to. this is just plain TRASH...........now we can just expect the other songs to be. the half star i gave was just for Mr. Hammett"
lol mr. hammett was my eighth grade algebra teacher.

I've just heard this for the first time today, and it made for a really fucking odd experience. When Hetfield's vocals came in I thought I was listening to some theatrical heavy metal showtune or something, y'know... like one of those songs from a musical where there's a narrator and it's punctuated by bits of singing... and that's before I squirted my coffee through my nose when he started barking that he was the table.

More Fricke...

There are almost as many hilarious lines by Fricke in that RS story as there are in "Dragon".

I couldn't read that Fricke story. Scared I'd laugh so hard, it'd feel like someone was trying to claw out my collarbone with their fingernails.

"We have m-e-t-a-l in our name. But we can go fucking anywhere and do anything."
"We have m-e-t-a-l in our name. But we can go fucking anywhere and do anything."
"We have m-e-t-a-l in our name. But we can go fucking anywhere and do anything."
"We have m-e-t-a-l in our name. But we can go fucking anywhere and do anything."

i can't even imagine what this means but i agree

"This makes... And Justice for All sound like the first Ramones album."

"This makes... And Justice for All sound like the first Ramones album."

"This makes... And Justice for All sound like the first Ramones album."

"This makes... And Justice for All sound like the first Ramones album."

"This makes... And Justice for All sound like the first Ramones album."

"This makes... And Justice for All sound like the first Ramones album."

By that measure all the songs on Lulu should be eighteen hours long.

"a new kind of doom in metal"

the doom of being reduced to inanimate objects

Metallica's instrumental track for "The View," cut that day in the same room where they made 2003's St. Anger, is an irregular stomp with a thrash-speed finish.

legendary room imo

haha i thought of you when i saw that

Reed and Metallica first played together in 2009, when the band backed him at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's anniversary shows at Madison Square Garden. Reed immediately suggested they record together. The initial plan was new versions of some of his older songs.

wow, we could've had a whole album of "Sweet Jane"

can't wait for this to hit songmeanings.net

omg

ICED HONEY
You can't put a butterfly in a jar
If the effort's too high no matter who you are
You can't catch the moon, or the sun or the stars
It doesn't matter who you are
Iced honey
Now me I've tried a million tricks
To make life cold and make it stick
Not running heat that flames then out
But the proud piece of ice that always floats
Iced honey
If I can't trap a butterfly or a bee
If I can't keep my heart where I want it to be
If no matter how much soul and heart
I put to the wood
If a flaming heart is not that good
Iced honey
If you can't put a butterfly in a jar
If violence mars your final hour
If you make others feel like jam
Poured on a piece of charbroiled lamb
If it's all mixed up and you cannot shout
And your oxygen starts to run out
If your final gasp has the recipe wrong
And instead of hello you say so long
If your energy starts to leak out
And people wonder what you're all about
A heartbreaker with an unattached heart
The story of love gives them all a start
And me, I've always been this way
Not by choice, just this way
I can't put my honey pot in a jar
Or a heart or a fist of some young boy
If you can't put a butterfly in a jar
No wonder no need to wonder where you are
It might seem like Hell, the river Styx
Your affection never sticks
No matter what you say, no matter what you do
A butterfly heart flies right past you
There's nothing to say, nothing to do
See if the ice will melt for you
Iced honey

I can imagine Lou singing these words backed up by Metallica barbershop quartet style

tempting to speculate which lines are hetfield's

x2 that this must be the a cappella number

I can imagine Lou singing these words backed blacked up by Metallica barbershop quartet style

And Metallica as well. Going do-de-do-de-do.

I bet that in some other world Dante is fucking fuming that he never thought of that Styx/sticks rhyme.

Fucking Lou Reed

*kicks table*

"Hey Dante - it Styx in your craw don't it?"

can't put my honey pot in a jar

makes ya think

Dude from Baroness at Scion conference called this album the worst, most unmusical thing he'd ever heard.

Man I love Baroness, but that dude is clearly not the table.

You're either on the table or off the table.
