Lou Reed/Metallica Collabo Anticipation Thread

Lou Reed should do an album with each of the Big Four.

Louthrax, Slaylou, LouDeth?

MegaLou.

This Lournette thing is pretty good. Seven takes!

Meantime Metallica has its own goofy project to work on next.

The Lou Reed / Metallica collaboration album is the worst crime ever committed against music. Just putting that out there.

Lou Reed had better star in this

four-story video wall of all the webcam youtube reviews of LULU playing simultaneously

The band’s now looking for a director with the stones to direct a Metallica-style feature.

If THEY had stones, Metallica'd get Matt Mahurin to make a full-length "The Unforgiven" 3D movie. Old men's faces coming out of the shadows, sad children descending dark staircases, Kirk whipping his hair back mid-solo, two solid fucking hours of that shit.

A shirtless Lou Reed down a long dark hallway, in black and white, doing tai chi. 3D.

i'm seriously convinced that if james hetfield didn't sing a note on lulu it would be at least 10 times better than it is.

gtfo w/ that

maaaaybe on cheat on me and iced honey, but:

SMAAAAAAL TOOOWN GIIIIRLLLL

I AM THE ROOT

???

Sorry all, but "Junior Dad" is as good as anything Lou Reed (or anybody, to use his words) has ever done. Tightly sums up the heavy emotion behind the generational battle (disguised as the recession/OWS/whatever) going on right now. Totally vital and necessary poetry and music. A few of the details hit so close to home I can't really express it without crying. Not a joke.

lol

If it works, it works!

fave review so far
FUCK THIS PIECE OF SHIT. Metallica go back to your old ways, lou reed is fucking terrible and is ruining your vibe, your already the best band in the world and your gonna let this sack of shit ruin what you have ? My band Anesthesia can whip up better song than this lulu piece of shit with a stupid ass title, and WE DONT EVEN HAVE A DRUM SET. It sounds like an amature is playing on drums, kirk can make 1000000000000 times better riffs and solos better than this bitch lou reed. he should be in a hospital bed being medicated. james doesnt even sing and even though lou reed has been around more and sucks major dick, James Hetfield already surpassed him ! This ''project'' is shit. Lou reed wants the attention because he did something with the best band in the world, he has to get his ass, his voice that sounds like his throat was ran over by a train, and his no skilled ass, to a nursing home. my grandma can sing better than him AND SHE HAS THROAT CANCER. Metallica your better than this. FIX IT PLEASE. Let this old bitch know who's the heaviest metal band on earth.

in other news, i guess i didn't win that contest where they'd fly me to NYC for an exclulusive listening party... the greatest disappointment.

lolololol

lock thread

Lock life, really.

i feel like lou reed deserves a medal of honor just for making that photo happen. thank you, lou. the best thing done by anyone ever.

Omfg this has been such a great chapter in my life

So uh yeah, finally heard the whole thing and "Junior Dad" is actually not that bad. Not sure whether this is because it's the least Metallica-like thing here or because Lou finally stopped rambling like an unhinged maniac. Maybe both. Agree with everyone upthread who said the album would have been boatloads better if James had just shut the fuck up throughout. But then again it probably would have also been better if Lou had shut the fuck up about half the time, too, so.

20 years from now it'll be critically correct to love this record, just like with Berlin and Metal Machine Music. Lou's just decades ahead of the critics. Again.

Klosterman's review convinced me of this:

wow

haha that is an amazing review

I want Klos to review us now

Coming from the hack that stanned for chinese democracy

xpost -- yeah I was disappointed at no mention.

Not me. Don't think ILX falls into his realm of expertise or insight.

The reason Lulu is so terrible is because the people making this music clearly don't care if anyone else enjoys it. Now, here again — if viewed in a vacuum — that sentiment is admirable and important. But we don't live in a vacuum. We live on Earth. And that means we have to accept the real-life consequences of a culture in which recorded music no longer has monetary value, and one of those consequences is Lulu.

So there were no bad collabos back in the glory days of the record companies?

I will happily "stan" for Chinese Democracy. As I've said before, it's a J-pop record with the Guns N' Roses name slapped on it. Wipe Axl Rose's vocals and replace him with Ayumi Hamasaki and you've got the exact same album. It won't surprise me a bit if Lulu becomes an object of critical worship 20 years from now. Look at the way people talk about the Velvet Underground today.

these ten storieeeeees

Eventually there will be a triumphant full-staging of Lulu at BAM.

Apocalyptiloutallica

it will be revived at (wait for it....) LULUPALOOZA

All these kids around the world are going to learn improper English from growing up on this.

"I am looking for buy an active hotel."

It is entertaining watching the metalheads on Blabbermouth, etc., completely losing their shit. I sometimes forget how personally they take music. PS I love metal but we have an open relationship.
