Is it a Lou Reed album with Metallica as his backing band (like how those couple of Robert Palmer albums were rumored to have The Scorpions as his band)? Or will it be billed as a "Lou Reed w/ Metallica" album?

I am not 100% sure but I think it will be labeled Lou Reed and Metallica, or something close to that

That is my understanding - Lou Reed and Metallica. Lou wrote the tracks, Metallica arranged them (or more realistically James and Lars arranged them and Kirk/Robert played what they were told to play). I haven;t listened to much Lou Reed, but I am looking forward to this - sounds AWESOME

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Ya never know. It might be good. Stranger things have happened.

Just once, I'd like to hear a musician say in advance "Well, this new album coming out is pretty bland. The record company rushed us, the riffs are recycled, the guitarist was zonked out on Nyquil the whole time and I stole the lyrics from my 14 year old niece's Live Journal blog. It's probably the lamest album of our career. Enjoy.".

in record label speak that is: "A clear return to form bound to appeal to all fans of ."

Sure. It's a possibility.

This band hasn't made a good album in decades though, so I think I'll let their track record speak louder than the hype surrounding their brand/marketing/label status/etc.

I think this album is mostly going to appeal to fans of Lou Reed, and if you are not Lou Reed I suspect this collaboration is not going to change your mind

Agreed. I'm still excited about it, there are many Lou Reed fans on the jazz board I post on and even that fanbase is interested to hear what this is going to sound like.

I am curious. I dont know about excited but i will check it out.

I'm gonna have to hear some samples of this before buying it. If they are essentially just a backing band, then I'll be passing on it.

Same here. I will need to hear some serious samples before I spend money on this project.

I was never a Lou Reed fan, so this album has no appeal to me. Also, they can do this but "side projects" are forbidden...

Weird band politics.

I am a huge a Lou Reed fan so I am excited to hearing this album.

And they frowned up Jason Newsted for wanting to branch out musically. Was never a Lou Reed fan, totally outside of my musical and lyrical tastes.

That's what I'm sayin'... It wasn't ok until James and Lars wanted to do it.

I guess I won't like this, since I am not Lou Reed.

Not much of a Lou Reed fan, but liked some songs.
If Metallica tried sounding like the Velvet Underground , then I would be interested.

Let them do what they want......Lars must be painting or something ? Has to be some money making angle someplace to attempt to "appeal" to the artsy/fartsy crowd.


The 70's live Lou Reed album is the only thing remotely rock he ever participated in and that is due more to the tandem guest guitar players then him.

Bob Ezrin used Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner on both Lou Reed and Peter Gabriel's albums, Alice liked them so much, he hired the entire band away from Lou Reed.
