Lou Reed/Metallica Collabo Anticipation Thread

love u wikipedia:

"Save Tonight" is considered the signature song of Eagle-Eye Cherry.

aha, 1997. that explains everything

and It still burns, like me for you.

i wouldn't say i'm looking forward to this, but i am pretty curious. it is going to be terrible isn't it.

Oh I'm super anxious to hear this, not at all because I think its going to be great.

it's going to own

as long as reed doesn't sing

or play an instrument

that photo has a real "Weekend At Bernie's" vibe

Except Metallica is the bloated corpse being propped up, amirite?

i listened to the second half of ecstasy the other day, first time in a decade. pretty good record!

'like a possum' a bad choice of running music tho

goddamn it, every time this thread is bumped i hope it's a new song posted online

lol sorry, great new pic, though, right?

the pic delivers for sure

for real, i'd like to hear a song from this too

Shoot markers, I figured with your Metallica fanboy #1 status Lars would be emailing you demos on the weekly.

he's in the next room doing mastering the record himself atm, doesn't want me to hear the songs till they're finished :-(

lol i saw some kind of monster in theaters when i was 17 \(^o^)/

whyyy

how could i not

there was no choice

"i would press...delete"

^lars's dad otm about st. anger

i have a feeling my 11-year-old nephew is going to hate this!

metallica needs to think more about their 11-year-old fans

lou reed just needs to think more

"i would press...delete"

^lars's dad otm about st. anger

YES

i swear i said that quote like 1M times the week after i saw "some kind of monster"

like markers, i also saw it in the theater.

i did not see it in the theater, but it is worth seeing. one of the most intensely uncool rock docs ever, i think.

I still haven't seen it. :(

went with two of my high school friends, one of whom definitely wasn't into metallica, but he humored me anyway so thanks if you ever read this

The scenes with Dave Mustaine were crazy enough, but the fact that it was filmed two days after 9/11 on Dave's 40th birthday - and him stuck with Metallica by happenstance instead of being with his family in Phoenix - is even crazier.

woah

did not know that

one of the most intensely uncool rock docs ever, i think.

certainly one of the greatest though too!

it's uncoolness is a good thing!!!

i need to rewatch it though, i haven't seen it in full since that historical day i saw it in the theater

oh yeah, it's cool -- it's just that i don't think i've ever seen a rock documentary where a band came across so terribly. they all seem deeply, deeply lame.

lars's dad seems pretty rad

"We were thinking about starting the album with that one!"

Record Collector: Rumor has it you aren't happy with the way you come across in the forthcoming METALLICA movie, "Some Kind Of Monster"?

Dave Mustaine: "No I wasn't. They edited out a lot more stuff than was there and they sent it to me for my approval. I said, I don't want you to use it. It was two days after 9/11, on my 40th birthday. I was supposed to be at home getting an AMG CL55 Mercedes from my family as a present, and I'm here with one of the guys that I've hated the most in my entire life — my entire existence on the planet — making a video tape in San Francisco, because I can't fly to Phoenix to see my family. And they sent me the tape and I said, 'No, I don't want you to use it,' and they went ahead and used it anyway. I'm like, 'Why send it to me for my approval if, when I say I don't like it, you go ahead and use it anyway?' "

Record Collector: Wasn't your approval a legal requirement?

Dave Mustaine: "Well, see, they said that I signed the paper so they figured, 'Fuck him, he's signed the paper.' You may remember September 13th, New York was still on fire, we had been up non-stop watching CNN. Everywhere you went, people were freaking out over white powder, there were bomb threats everywhere, you were having all kinds of fuckin' radical military maneuvers and shit... it was a war.

laughed really hard at this

That's gotta be an Anton Corbijn photo there.

This thread has been comedy gold for me tonight. The "Pushead" cover art killed me.
