Lou Reed/Metallica Collabo Anticipation Thread

can't see an 18min track being allowed to eat into Newsnight, sadly. Second time Jools has called Loutallica "unique".

HOLY BALLS, WTF IS THIS???

some old bullshit

writing letters of complaint to Lu, Lars, the Beeb, the PM, the Pope etc.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH WHITE LIGHT!

srsly?

White Light/White Heat hung, drawn and quartered Loutallica style.

yeah they did that one at the r&r hall of fame thing that started this whole crizazy ride.

Wow, that might be worse than "Sweet Jane"

That youtube is about possibly only one-fiftieth as mental as what this nation just witnessed tbh.

In that sentence, I want to destroy "possibly"

can someone get this on youtube asap thx

if this song wasn't killed by bowie, frampton and charlie sexton on the glass spider, it cannot be killed

glass spider TOUR

had a beautiful mental image before you said that

Markerrrrrssssssssssssssss where have u been bro?

listening to Lulu on repeat

oooooooooooooooo white light

Come back Frankie Cocozza all is forgiven!

Please tell me Lou is using a teleprompter for "WL/WH."

Actually, I like their "White Light." The key here is that live Lou can't mix his vox way above Metallica.

Lou has developed his own teleprompter, the LouPrompt.

Egad.

By the way, when did James get the neck tattoo of Lou wearing a Thor helmet?

That has a definite music-teacher-jamming-with-the-pupils-at-the-school-concert feel about it. Lou's trolling is now extending to publicly humiliating stadium rock acts, can't wait for the follow-up album

oooooooh-oooooohh white liy-eeeeeet

hetfield's fauhawk makes him look like one of the hipper celebrity babies

If there were ever a record to perform with both singers' backs to the audience, it's this one.

"Iced Honey" was good, despite Lou's autocue issues. WL/WH... mere words etc.

Who gives a fuck about autocue, it was great.

problem was he stumbled over some of his lines, I thought. But yeah, it was good.

It's the stumbling that makes it, and also the concomitant deadly serious intent, like Morton Feldman meeting Roy "Get It Together" North.

Well, I enjoyed it, yes.

I missed the first track, will catch up.

Obvious similarities to the latterday Fall I thought. Looking forward to Lou beating up the bass player on stage, firing the rest of the band mid-tour and then replacing the lot of them with his wife, a drum machine and my granny on bongos.

The brass band debagging of “Sweet Dreams Are Made Of Thin” was all the song deserved, and lucky to get away with that. Annie Lennox’s Q&A in this week’s ES Magazine, dear God: “Marylebone High Street is good for the soul,” “Daunt Books is just the dope.”

but then what would you expect from a middle aged rock star? She's been flogging Xmas albums and the like recently IIRC, ES Magazine seems like a perfect fit.

She's been middle aged all her life.

I like "Sweet Dreams Are Made Of Thin” as a title, btw. Get Victoria Beckham on this one, and get Lily Allen to write it.

Not a typo, btw - that's how she sings it on the record.

Well, who am I to disagree?

(obvious retort no 23521)

dudes in metallica do look like they're enjoying themselves in those clips.

They look like a beer commercial of some garage band whacking off to White Light/White Heat without knowing the words when who walks through the door, but Mr. Lou Reed himself. Anheuser-Busch, St. Louis Missouri.

And thats why its so awesome.

just got a recording of lou + laurie anderson performing some of these lulu tracks in 2010. should be interesting! will probably post on the blog soon.

Fun to imagine this originally a Reed/Anderson collab, and then they get into some argument about the heating bill, and Lou storms out and calls up James.

or lou singing "SPERMLESS LIKE A GIRL" and laurie just raising one eyebrow and lou looking sheepish

or lou trying to get laurie to scream "i am the rooooot"

Not joking... it's really good. Not been into a rock record this much in ages.
