fooler, good to see that even after this, you still curious about lou. any artist/musician that has a long career will have big ups and big downs. what i like about him is that he always does something different. here are some favorite lou reed moments thorough the years:

@fooler
i grew out of metallica a long time ago, and really don't listen to much velvet/lou these days either, but still enjoy it more than metallica.
but yeah, they each had good music ... separately. put the two together though and metallica is now butchering some classics (white light/white heat was great by velvet underground). so, it's no wonder that lou can't sing over the metallica version ... it's a butchered version.
i'm not putting any of them down, individually (except that lars shithead) ... this just plain stinks, that's all.and he only wrote one classic?
Rock n Roll
Walk On The Wild Side
Coyote
Femme Fatale

Funny quote. That's what Twitter's best at.

Someone told me it was a disaster.

i heard it.
it is what it is.
If you like Lou Reed, and like Metallica, I'm sure it'll seem like a great thing.
On the other hand, if you find Lou Reed talking his way through a mishmash of -i dunno...odd poetry?, loureedy oddness?, hipper than thou-im-the-fucking-soul-of-new...
mixed through a washtub of Metallica to be something best left alone, i'd steer clear of it.lets be honest here.
Metallica had their moments...absolutely....the sheer recklessness and brute strength of their first few albums is legendary.
I think this is a result of a few things.
age. they were young and fearless.
talent. Dave Mustaine wrote a shitload of those early tunes, and it's beyond evident that he knew how to put together some amazing songs.
and finally. Cliff Burton....he added a level of music theory and essentially elevated what the group was doing to a higher level.now?
none of these things are true any longer.
they've run out of songs by mustaine since forever ago...last one i think that was one of his tunes (according to legend) was leper messiah
cliff sadly was sat on by a bus.lou reed?
you can't say he hasn't been influential. i mean...c'mon...sweet jane...jesus christ what a good song.on the other hand. machine metal music.
clearly he fluctuates between genius, and utterly bugfucking insane.- < Well said (except you give too much credit to Mustaine, ...And Justice has some absolute TUNES on it)rosskemp
- AJFA was their peak, especially tracks like Blackened and Harvester. But, I'm still pissed they shat on Jason by essentially mixing out his bass tracks.Continuity
- ... mixing out his bass tracks.Continuity
- Jason is getting credit on youtube now tho, everyone missing his backing vocals and commenting all the timerosskemp

This is gawd AWFUL. I feel so bad for Lou Reed. How did he ever get himself into this one?

In some ironic twist, somehow this album will be one of the few to survive the coming apocalypse and centuries form now will be studied as the epitome of early 21st century pop music. You just watch.

Remember that time when Guns n' Roses teamed up with Charles Manson and they made The Spaghetti Incident? That wasn't cool either.
- monospaced0
Let's face it, they both had their time and influence on music. People flocked to them, worshipped them, and made them rich and famous. Why can't that be enough?
This reminds me of when good comedians get old, have some kids, stop making dirty jokes, and still think they're hilarious but only end up making shit family comedy movies that make you want to barf (Adam Sandler, Robin Williams, etc). Kinda sad.
- Hahaha, you're not wrong!Continuity

Well, as terrible as this might be, I'm not ready to write off Lou Reed yet. I just think this is just an enormous bump in the road.
- I have, however, written off Metallica ages ago.Continuity

I like even some of the new Metallica stuff, but this is.... yeah.... Battlefield Earth.

oh my.... sometimes great, sometimes horrible....
I'd rather hear Metal Machine Backwards than listen to the Mettalica/Lou Reed stuff....
