Lou Reed/Metallica Collabo Anticipation Thread

I recommend Marc Anthony's "Lucy In The Sky Of Diamonds" from this shindig if you're hungry for more godawful after.

Hey, why did the guy stop working with Robert Quine? Dude was a great foil.

He always ends up hating his collaborators. He can't share the limelight. Oh wait.

quine and reed had a pretty major falling out after reed mixed him off of Legendary Hearts.
quine has some of the best/funniest bits in the Transformer bio.

Hey, he did a little Al Pacino "hoo-ha!" in there, at the 2:40 mark.

Musically, the first week and a half was really great, out of the four years.

OK, that Marc Antony Lucy not so hot, but didn't hate it. People should check out the Eddie Palmieri version of "You Never Give Me Your Money" to see how it's really done.

Marc Anthony "Lucy"

Wow what a great interview with quine

This keeps getting better with repeated listening...

"They are my metal blood brothers," Reed claimed. "No one wants Lulu Part 2, but on Radio Lou, in my head where I hear these songs, I want more of it.

ILX wants Lulu Part 2, Lou!

Just got it, finally. And . . . shit. I'm kind of liking it. It's really weird, kind of funny, and delusioinal and demented.

Use Your Illulusion II, Vol. 2

Relulued

"and that's my blood brother Rob on bass"

sorry "and that's my metal blood brother Rob on bass"

fuck Lulu 2, I wanna hear Radio Lou

I bet his voice is better on Radio Lou.

This is Radio Lou on pirate satellite … of love.

he does have a satellite radio show, right?

Lou Reed's New York Shuffle with Hal Wilner
Saturdays midnight ET
Hear music that runs the gamut from jazz to vintage rock. As Lou says, “I’ve always been a fan of eclectic radio. I loved the days when DJs who did their own programming set the bar high.“ Lou co-hosts the show with record producer Hal Willner, his recent collaborator on the concert film Berlin.

I really do wonder if, when Lou's pulling sounds out of the amorphous mass of free jazz, doo-wop and trebly guitar in his mind, if he hears a crotchety old man pitching all over the place.

The reception to this album has been remarkably ageist.

in other news -- LULU LIVE
On Friday evening, November 11, Lou and the band will be performing live for a special radio broadcast in Germany on 1LIVE that will also be webcast on www.einslive.de and www.metallica.de.

Currently 37 in the Amazon music chart. Megadeth is 12.

I think it's been established that Lou makes music for dogs, not cats

Currently 37 in the Amazon music chart. Megadeth is 12.

hate to break it to all those hoping for LULU II...this is Lou's backing band on the next LP.

wow wtf

needs to go on that pictures of random celebrities thread

is that Salman Rushdie in black on the right

indeed it is.

Salman's going to be laying down some pretty freaky sax for this project, i hear.

red haired lady kinda looks like Scarlett Johannsen but maybe my imagination is just trying to cram as many famous randoms into that photo as possible

Bald guy at the back looks like my dad, but he died in 1993 so I guess it's not.

laugh if you want, but I bet Pee Wee does pant-slap better than anyone

Salman Rushdie on Twitter: "Lou Reed, Laurie Anderson. Pee-Wee Herman, Timothy Greenfield Sanders, Hal Willner and me." Lady doesn't even get a mention!

IT'S ON NOW:

Darren Aronofsky will direct a music video from the new Metallica and Lou Reed album, "Lulu."

The Oscar-nominated director of "Black Swan" and "The Wrestler" will produce a video for the track, "Iced Honey." Aronofsky brings his cameraman, Matthew Libatique, to the project as director of photography. The clip will be shot in the San Francisco Bay area and will be available for viewing later this month.

Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich said Thursday that working with Reed and Aronofsky is "living the dream."

And the avant-garde Reed said he hopes the video can be "his Black Swan."

Quick, we need to do the video to either of our "Iced Honey" tracks first.

who is Lou Reed's White Swan

"Waiting For The Portman"

if this video features Reed in a tutu stabbing Lars with mirror shards, this will have all been worth it

Quick, we need to do the video to either of our "Iced Honey" tracks first.

very tempted

goddamn i hope this never ends!

xpost -- I encourage you in this temptation.

LIVING THE DREAM

Actually gr8080 should do the video over there in Hawaii.

…and upload it to his YouT – oh, man. It's probably too soon, right?
