Lou Reed is recording with....
 

Holy christ, I just threw up in my mouth a little bit....... talk about a match made in the blackest pits of hell (and not in the good way).........

Yeah, poor Metallica. :(

Both Are Not Good In The Present But Both Were Once Good In The Past.......

This COULD be interesting...

He would have been better off collaborating with one of the dogs him and Laurie Anderson played a gig for.

Holy shit noo... :O

Metallica are a bunch of moneyhungry fgs. Lou Reed kix arse though...

It WILL be interesting though to hear it...but still ridicolus..just NO.

I don't care if people were comparing Death Magnetic to "the classic first four" they lost all credibility with Load, and I didn't even listen....... they will never ever ever ever ever ever have any again never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever...........

assholes gravitating towards each other.

I think it will not been worse than Death Magnetic. I like St. Anger a lot, I think it´s as good as Master Of Puppets and Justice. Death Magnetic is very poor.

The question still remains, what the fuck will Lou reed do on a metallica record?

Be a boring old asshole who's prime passed him long ago.

It's nice to hear such open-minded objectivity from everyone here.

Death Magnetic is awesome, by the way. St. Anger is OK, but it would've benefited from heavy editing and actually letting Kirk Hammett play a solo or two instead of giving in to popular opinion of the time.

The music made by both has been objectively bad for some time.

Lou Reed is a mind-blower. Y'all are afraid of having your minds blown!

This. Although "forever" in Metallica's case.

I'm about as open minded as the next guy, but there's no way I'm going to be "objective" about Lou Reed bro-ing it up with Lars and James...... frankly I'd rather be taken down to the local penitentary and sodomized.......

Now just wait one gosh darn minute here......

Lou Reed is soooo relevant.

He's more than you are.

I forgot I was an old rock dinosaur who made my best music in 1967.

I can't tell who is or isn't being sarcastic here...... I'd rather watch Derek fill out his taxes than watch Lou Reed put on the best performance of his life in 2011......

I wish I was a dinosaur...... :mad:

Don't worry, you'll look like one when you reach the age of Grandpa Lou.

Truth is, he influenced more young musicians than you while he was still young. You haven't. Get over it.

I even like John Cale more than Lou Reed...... but of course that's obvious he influenced more people than our friend Derek ehre, that doesn't mean we have to think he's still relevant...... Metallica was my favorite band from age 11-16 but that doesn't mean I'd even want to have a conversation with Lars or James...... Kirk is okay I guess.........

And fuck that Robert Trujillio guy, did you know he was the guy Sharon hired to go in and redo the bass on those early Ozzy albums? What a bunch of fucking bullshit. I hope Sharon Osbourne gets pink eye........

I think he's been shit for years.

Derek or Lou Reed?

Or Robert Trujillio?

Derek makes some really beautiful music. I'm listening to it right now.

It's true, I'm a big fan of that CD-R I received in the mail last week......

I've still got time heheh.

But I'm saying he himself is irrelevant, obviously his influence isn't. The new Lou Reed album 2011 isn't influencing legions of young musicians.

Hahahaha this is gonna suck so much ass.

Although I can't help but be reminded of MTV's Icon: Metallica they did about 10 yrs back. You had Snoop Dogg singing Sad But True, Avril singing Fuel, KoRn performing One and Limp Bizkit did Sanitarium. Master of Puppets was even covered by Sum 41, of all bands. If anyone is curious - there's videos of it all over YouTube. Pretty damn irrelevant to this thread but yeah.

Actually, Korn and Limp Bizkit were the LEAST embarassing of all those guys. Sum 41 were OK. But yeah, Avril and Snoop Dogg...Snoop Dogg's usually good, but that...nnnnnnnnnnnooooooooooooooooooooo

I'm pretty sure Snoop was just having fun with it, since his style didn't really fit the bill. Haha, kinda like when Marilyn Manson would occasionaly come out and awkwardly scream the chorus of "The Way I Am" during Eminem's live shows.

I agree that KoRn and Bizkit did best. I can't believe how stellar the Bizkit cover was actually. I liked Avril too, just 'cause. Sum 41.... I could care less. Bleh.

In my opinion they tried to do what fans want in Death Magnetic. It seemed they listened carefully Ride the Lightning, Puppets and Justice, picked there riffs, changed them a little and then put riffs from the different "original" songs into a same song. And I just can´t work! (Well it seems many fans swallowed that). I think it is just great there is no solos in St. Anger, there is already too much useless solos in the world. And I think there´s nothing to edit, I love it all!

I think Lou made great work also in Transformer and Berlin...
