Lou Reed/Metallica Collabo Anticipation Thread

what would be dope is if Laurie Anderson and John Zorn actually appear on this version of Junior Dad

O Sandman, O Larrrrrs

Not only are two tracks on the Loutallica album 11 mins long, but there's also a 19+ one.

I mean I know this is already evident from the track list but I have to say these things to myself to really believe them.

i assume somewhere itt is the hitler reacts parody?

starting to really want this to be good

yeah...

all lols aside, me too. i think the real issue is whether lou's vocals are just terrible.

be real tho how long did you try to like that bowie drum'n'bass album before giving up

that album is an underrated classic

jk never heard it. what's drum n bass again?

i tried to tell my 11-year-old nephew about this album. he says all new metallica sucks and that he's looking forward to the new megadeth record

you mean the John Cale collab, MegaCale? That is going to be rad.

this really has the potential to measure up to lou's most significant project of the 00s:

oh man please make this happen

MegaCale >>>> Loutallica

omg 'thinking xxx'

Johnadeth

they could bring it back to some old-school theatre of eternal music action

dave mustaine could just hit one chord for three hours while cale lays on the floor and occasionally picks at his viola

that just sounds like a lost Lard album

Anselmo/Tucker

jesus this keeps getting weirder (thinking xxx)

MOETERA

anthrax & nico

It's already been done in this thread, but we were due for a reprise. Check your own volume faders though.

Ok,

Well here are the ones I'd genuinely be up for Leonard Cohen and Exodus aka Exocohen; Neil Young and Cannibal Corpse aka Young Corpse; and the self-explanatory MastoDon Henley.

The lyrics to the song include the lines: "Say hello to junior dad/The greatest disappointment/Age withered and changed him."

This song made Metallica cry.

this made me cry - just awful:

'those were different times'

march of the wooden loldiers

Here is some insight into how Lou writes his lyrics:

my office has a new employee starting today and so when I walked in to work this morning there were signs all over that said "WELCOME, LULU!" and i loled

looool

welcome to the realms of reality!

just set them aside & put them back up when it's out, feign surprise if anyone, lulu included, acts as if such office-wide celebration is unwarranted

"why are the signs back on the kitchen cupboards?"
*BRANDENBURG GATE*, wailing from the portable cd/tape deck in the stationery cupboard

its so nice to have Lulu here, I welcomed her.

omg @ thinking xxx

i give you the lyrics to "Junior Dad"
"Junior Dad"
Would you come to me
If I was half drowning
An arm above the last wave
Would you come to me
Would you pull me up
Would the effort really hurt you
Is it unfair to ask you
To help pull me up
The window broke the silence of the matches
The smoke effortlessly floating
I'm all choked up
Pull me up
Would you be my lord and savior
Pull me up by the hair
Now would you kiss me on my lips
Burning fever burning on my forehead
The brain that once was listening
Now shoots out its tiresome message
Won't you pull me up
Scalding my dead father has the motor
And he's driving towards
An island of lost souls
Sunny - a monkey then to monkey
I will teach you meanness fear and blindness
No social redeeming kindness
Oh-or-state of grace
Would you pull me up
Would you drop the mental bullet
Would you pull me by the arm up
Would you still kiss my lips
Hiccup: the dream is over
Get the coffee: turn the lights on
Say hello to junior dad
The greatest disappointment
Age withered him and changed him
Into junior dad
Psychic savagery

those are some pretty odd lyrics for Lou, it seems to me

a fair amount of non-sequiturs, broken phrases, plus all the direct-address/1st person "you" lines... no?

you flush it out, you flush it out

just met a dog named lulu

a little dog no less
