Lou Reed/Metallica Collabo Anticipation Thread

metal machine music is awesome.

yeah, MMM is pretty listenable. first time i heard it, i thought i'd have to turn it off after a minute, but it can be kind of a relaxing record.

Metal Machine Music is indeed awesome.

I do not hear the Lungfish similarities by the way. I get the idea of the similarities: spoken-sung vocals, list-like lyrics (in the chorus especially), and a riffy, repetitive backing, but sonically and execution-wise it sounds nothing like Lungfish. It sounds like if someone asked me to make up a slow Metallica riff off the top of my head and tack on some Lou vocals with a time limit of 30 minutes for the whole exercise.

Yeah, good thing Ned gave us a month.

i've listened to the view at least 25 times

i'm going to listen to this everyday until the album comes out

I've listened to this 17 times, so I guess the joke's on me?

no, you are the tablet

^ real talk

There's a real meta "worship someone who despises you" thing here, but I can't tell from which direction it's going.

omg this shit just gets better and better

i feel really bad for that youtube guy, he's a lost soul

i honestly do think this song gets better if you listen to it a shitload of times, like at first you're taken aback but then it's like you start to understand and accept that this is what music should be like...it's like when you moved away to college or something, i never want to go back

it's like when you moved away to college or something, i never want to go back

looool classic

Hey Matt Schabel
Get the fuck off my table

i was wondering -- is this going to be lou reed's biggest selling album? just because metallica has such a die-hard fanbase. like, if metallica put put out their own new album right now, it'd probably debut at #1?

It will definitely be Lou Reed's biggest album.

kaching!

yeah, especially considering how well metallica does in worldwide markets, europe, south america etc, i can't imagine even the poorest selling metallica album wouldn't out-do transformer (which i'm assuming is lou's biggest seller over time) by a large margin

Shame he's going to have to spend it all on bodyguards tbh

Apparently I was the one who broke the news to Dave Mustaine that this is coming out the same day as the new Megadeth record.

lol what did dave say

megadeath shoulda done their album with iggy

looooooool j33f

um, j3ff

MEGACALE

I'm writing an article on them, so I don't want to give away spoilers. I will say, he sounded pretty unhappily surprised for a moment, but he recovered quite admirably.

Yesterday was 25 years since Cliff died.

I'm gonna guess that the people buying new Megadeth records are not the same people who will be buying Loutallica

Seriously?

I'm sure there's absolutely no overlap between Metallica and Megadeth fans.

I'll defer to other metaller-heads-than-I but yeah I would think that if you're buying new Megadeth records in this day and age you (correctly imho) gave up on Metallica a long time ago

XD

Maybe 7 or 8 years ago, but given the resurgence in the Big 4 lately and the (relatively) favorable reviews Death Magnetic got, I can totally see lots of people picking up albums by the two of them on the same trip to the record store.
