Lou Reed/Metallica Collabo Anticipation Thread

Waiting For My Sandman

I really hope they credit this to Loutallica

"Cliffie Says"

"Some Kind of Monster II: Reed the Lightning"

Ride Sally Ride The Lightning

I really hope they credit this to Loutallica

something lexically apt about it being credited to Relica

It's all going to fall apart when Lou demands they replace Trujillo with Fernando Saunders

Haha

"The Unforgiven IV: Coney Island Baby"

Some kinda lars...

So who does Doug Yule replace?

whip it on me, james
whip it on me, james

Lars Yulerich

"Suckin-a on my ding-dong-UH"

Mark E Smith in on team Reedtallica too?

The glory of Lars
the glory of Lars
will see us through

Mark E Smith in on team Reedtallica too?

That would make it even better, but I was thinking more about latter-day Hetfield (i.e "ain't my bitch-AHH") doing "Sister Ray".

the unforgiven go doo doo-doo doo-doo doo-doo doo-doo

irl lol

Landmine
Has taken my sight
Taken my speech
Taken my ding dong

Cale 'Em All

Reed The Lightning

Imploded Classic Inevitable.

I am going to choose to be excited about the possibility that this is good.

I dunno. I kind of wish THIS had happened

Trust I seek and I find in Lou

"the thing that should not be"

And then we spoke of kids on the coast
and different types of organic soap
And the way suicides don't leave notes
Then we spoke of Mustaine
always back to Mustaine

Robert Trujillo had reached his limit. It was now mid-June which meant that he had been playing bass for Metallica for more than eight years. Eight years, and all he had to show were three grueling world tours and one very self-parodistic album. It was more than the human mind could bear.

hahaha

Kirk Hammett had reached his limit. It was now Mid-August which meant he had been separated from Jason Newstead for more than two months. Two months, and all he had to show was three dog-eared letters and two very expensive long-distance phone calls. True, when Jason had left the band and he'd returned to Battle Creek, Michigan, and Kirk to San Franciscio, he had sworn to maintain a certain fidelity. He would date occasionally, but merely as amusement. He would remain faithful.

OH GODDAMMIT ANTHONY

scooped because i actually took the time to look up jason newstead's hometown

a real metallica fan would have known that already

Jason came from Battle Creek, MI eh?

I'm Sticking with Cthulu

where's markers?

asleep, BUT I'M HERE NOW

if this sucks, i'm blaming it all on lou reed

because he's the only element of this that could make this record turn out bad

A fucking plus. Dude. Massive respect for this one

all of lou's parts, including the singing, will actually be played by bob rock

fuck you all this is gonna be hot

if that means this is going to be st. anger pt. ii, i'm down homie!!

lou will be in '72 form & metallica will just be goin for it rtl style and y'all will be oh we did not believe you brad but this is smokin hot and I will be like YEAHHHHH, WE DIIIIID IT

i hate it all why why why me, i cannot sleep w/ a head like this, i'm gonna cry, i'm gonna scream!

i rage, i glaze(d) (donut), i hurt, i hate, i wanna hate it all awaaaaaaaaaaaaay

and the unnamed feeling, it coooooomes allliiiive yeah yeah

mostly i just hope lou does all the singing and james does those wonder live ad-libs he's so beloved for

"for whooooooom the beeeeellllll tooooollls...YOU BETCHA"

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE ALIVE

"my lifestyle determines my deathstyle" does sound like a recent-vintage lou line tbrr

what about "you flush it out, you flush it out"

"And after Lou's death, David Bowie made a big point of saying to me, 'Listen, this is Lou’s greatest work; this is his masterpiece. Just wait, it will be like Berlin. It will take everyone a while to catch up.'

That's probably hyperbole, but all the same I continue to revisit and enjoy this album (even if it is really a bit too long). Love the production, Lou's delivery and Metallica's playing. Cool lyrics too, almost got into a fight with a friend recently because he kept mocking the "table" line lol.

haven't listened to the album since it came out, but this thread seriously belongs in a museum -- so much gold in here.

If I had been the newspaper boy delivering bad news to Don McLean's doorstep about Buddy Holly, and he asked me, "Will anything good ever come out of this tragic event?" - I would've said yes and handed him a vinyl copy of LULU.

I've been listening to this record a lot recently. Usually only about half of it at any given go, but I skip different tracks each time, and I never skip the last two tracks. 'Dragon' is just as great as 'Junior Dad'.

listening listening to this right now, sounding so good

in a coffin SOOOOOUL SHAKIN.....SOOOOOOUL SHAKIN

more and more it's so great that this crazy record was Lou's final statement.
kind of surprised there haven't been more archival things released though -- I guess the VU reissue train keeps a rollin, but wouldn't mind if there were some expanded reissues. You know, The Complete Lulu Sessions (12 discs at least).

like a COMMMON STATE WORK-AH

Yeah I actually think about this a lot, like compared to most iconic people, I love that guy who had a super sprawling illogical career went out with maybe his (2nd most) divisive album (though Metal Machine Music is kind of canonized in a way)...it's absolutely relentless and insane, really fucked in parts, really great in parts

so much better than some kind of "return to form" respectable record like the last Bowie record or some kind of horrible "guest stars" Santana bit...

Lou Reed's final record is one of the most visceral and alive records I've ever heard.

Warren Zeavon has The Wind.

all otm!

I think it's the liner notes to New York where Lou suggests you take in the album in one focused sitting and then it's kind of like a movie. Really applies to LULU too for me, remember when I got it on vinyl I had a couple of good nights with friends where we'd listen to it all the way through while drinking a case of beer - Junior Dad is such a fantastic emotional payoff when you've been through all the frustration and desire up till then.

I think the way this album depicts sex, perversion, numbness, frustration is real interesting - and Junior Dad is just so touching, I think it made me realize some stuff abt my relation to my dad.

[q]GQ: There's been some talk about how the song "Junior Dad" brought Kirk and James to tears. What do you remember about that moment?

Lou Reed: Not just them...

Lars Ulrich: All of us. My dad was down there during the moment that you're talking about, and it was shared by everybody.[q]

Love that anecdote

What I mostly do now is listen to Brandenburg Gate and The View, then Iced Honey and then finish off with Junior Dad

heh, I messed up the code

Didn't realize this was now on Spotify.

hmm I don't see it is it under "Loutallica" or smth?

https://open.spotify.com/album/3FgLMfp5o2h2rAny7S6h57?si=1JfozsajQRSw2RWEdyfT8g ?

no tracks where I am but looking forward to them being added!

I forgot about this so hard!

at last i can listen to lulu in its intended environment, my office

album still amazing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adyC404_gEk

the manic confusion... of looooooove

i beseech ya

i keep lulu close to my heart at all times

hetfield's voice is (deliberately, i guess) real rough throughout but i love that high note he hits at the end of "cheat on me"

if there's an LP signed by all of them, it would have to be one of the most valuable records around.

The Official Album Of The Darkest Timeline

supreme violation

The adolescent sense of the sky
The feeling of billowing heartbeats
The fingertips run through your hair
They run through your hair, hallucination, hallucination

I think I played Lulu twice.

I'm sure I've played both volumes of the ILX version, ooh...

Junior Dad has become one of my favorite songs

Ocean and Junior Dad and you can have the rest

psychic savagery
