Lou Reed/Metallica Collabo Anticipation Thread

does the new metallica bassist always look like that? lol

That was fuckin' hard to listen to.

I'm not excited about this anymore

good god

I can't even tell what key that's supposed to be in

I love the huge boo in the middle of the two cheers.

i believe that's the audience doing the "louuuuuuuu" thing. happens at all of his shows.

i dunno, sounded like a perfectly serviceable hard rock version of sweet jane to me!

I'm with the "That was fucking brutal" crowd.

I do kinda love how this is just par for the course for a guy who's whole career is a string of alternating sellout/contrarian moves

b-b-but hetfield doing the "sweeet jaaane-aaaagghhhh" backing vocals! hammett's guitar center solos! ulrich's face!
ok maybe it wasn't great.

Earlier this week I made myself a "Worst of Lou Reed" mix and frankly there was a lot of competition.

ooh gimme

I'm with the "That was fucking brutal" crowd.

i think the metal crowd & the melodic jams crowd understand "fucking brutal" differently though

I seriously cannot make out any actual notes or chords apart from that horrible soloing Richie Sambora is doing

Brutal meaning bad, not brutal meaning good.

perfectly serviceable!

Not going to pay attention to this anymore until I hear the wonderful Pomplamoose videosong ironic cover versions.

I'm in both crowds but that was brutal bad.

like, fit for service. if i walked into a large sports bar on a thursday night and heard a band of codgers playing this, i would be happy that they at least get a night out.

Naw, man. Sometimes he looks like this:

He invented crabcore.

Did finally click on that Pete 'n Lou video upthread. Hoo boy

omg what did I just watch

i dunno, sounded like a perfectly serviceable hard rock version of sweet jane to me!

which part of that sentence is supposed to be a good thing?

i was not terribly offended by it?

Is there any way to do a hard-rock cover of Sweet Jane that is more than serviceable?

fuck me lou's voice is shot these days isn't it...

tbf he's 80 and his voice has been shot since he was about 40

Is there any way to do a hard-rock cover of Sweet Jane that is more than serviceable?

Is there any way for a person to refrain from doing a hard-rock cover of Sweet Jane?

by playing a hard rock cover of "I Love You Suzanne"?

do you guys not like this or something? this is a great hard rock version of sweet jane.

also some great mustaches in that video.

oh man that Paris show

anyway it's more like a funk version tbh

god Lou looks amazing though

yeah it's almost like a headhunters song in the intro.

feel like we could poll the mustaches alone in that clip

Those stage moves Reed is featuring in that Paris video are some of the worst of all time. And i've had the (mis)fortune of seeing Metallica with Rob Trujillo live.

god Lou looks amazing though

Er, "amazing" is one word for it. Not exactly the description i would use. "Amazingly shitty" maybe?

xp haha, yeah -- james brown he is not.

nah I love Lou's bleached insectoid phase

do you guys not like this or something? this is a great hard rock version of sweet jane.

uh, no that's not my favorite version of Sweet Jane, and not really hard rock either. that riff can get so plodding in the wrong hands. I think it's the kind of thing that maybe really limited musicians who are having a lot of fun just playing the riff over and over do a good job with, but more accomplished musicians that get bored with it or feel the need to wail on top just kind of accentuate the monotony of it.

fair enough -- seems to me the rock n roll animal period is about as hard rock as lou got -- but the dudes in lou's band there are pretty accomplished session guys, i'd say.

Some of his later songs are harder than anything on Rock n Roll Animal.

Not BETTER, but HARDER

yeah, i mean i'm just saying hard rock as in alice cooper i think.

"sweeet jaaane-aaaagghhhh"

have & probably will not listen (for multiple reasons), but mainly to preserve the crystalline absurdity of how I am envisioning this.

ok wtf is that raven track, i might have to check that album out

the raven has some cool stuff on it! and some terrrrrrrible stuff.
weirdly, i just learned about this...

guess the world demanded a graphic novel based on lou reed's album based on edgar allen poe.
