Metallica & Lou Reed-New CD

[toysrus]

The more I listen the more I like this song. I'm not a Lou Reed fan. But this song is different then anything Metallica ever done.

What do you think? I wonder if the entire CD will have this type tempo/sound.

Hmm - well, I could almost see how this might be an interesting divergence for Metallica fans. I'm more of a classic Reed fan, but I don't have much patience for any of his later more experimental stuff.

To me - this isn't very listenable. Maybe as an instrumental it wouldn't be horrible...

Lou Reed is nearly a religious figure to me--so important. However, this was just a bad idea from the get go. Both artists are well past their prime and I guess on a certain level I can commend them for at least trying to do something a little outside their comfort zones but ultimately this just does not work....

I'm listening to The Velvet Underground right now. I hope this project isn't as terrible as I think it might be.

Not good...

Not Good! In my opinion Metallica died 25 years ago today when Cliff Burton passed away. Hard to believe its been that long.

thaqt is not a good combo, its just sounds like Reed and Metallica's parts were just mashed together without any plan.

lol! Your dead on. I'm hoping the rest of the CD is not the same.
