Lou Reed and Metallica record an album together

[ChrisRawk]

A concept album?  Of course it is. 

November 1st?  I didn't realize it was happening so quick.  That means I can be disappointed by it sooner.

There's a preview:

3 of the songs exceed the 10 minute mark.  And there's a nearly-20-minute song called 'Junior Dad'.  Awesome.

I hope "Loutallica" performs Metallica songs during their live shows. I think Lou's vocals could add a lot to "the Four Horsemen."

[JonFromMaplewood]

They should have Maureen Tucker come out on stage to play with them on "Don't Tread On Me."

(At the 25-second mark)

Ex Velvet Underground member Moe Tucker is a conservative

Say it ain't so, Moe.

Even without the visuals I think I might have recognized her voice.

It's like, you lose track of someone for 41 years or so and this is what happens.

Prepare yourself.

Metallica wants Lou gravitas, and Lou wants Metallica money.

I'm sticking with you. Coz I'm made out of glue.

Prepare yourself.

I prepared myself yet I was still unprepared.

What a weird, noisy mess.  Also more then a few lyrics about bodily functions and private parts.  Nice.

Wait til you hear what Social Distortion has in mind with Joey McIntyre.

"Metallica Cancels Two Concerts, Indian Fans Trash Stage" , the latest from Huffington Post.
This caused a riot in India, and three of the band managers were arrested for over-selling the venue.

Or NirvAnka....

Okay guys, I got the album and it's disappointing because it is not cringe-inducingly bad.

The only time I cringe is when James Hetfield sings. (He ruins the otherwise passable dirge Cheat on Me)

I'm forever a Lou Reed lover, and this just sounds like another just below par Lou Reed album.

Metallica were never big on personality, and make a decent backing band.

The new William Shatner album STILL confuses me, however. And I'm not sure it confuses me in a way I like, like Has Been or Transformed Man.
