EVOL! Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 They were on the Jools Holland show, first act on, http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0178n3x/Later_Live..._with_Jools_Holland_Series_39_Episode_8/ You know, the more I listen to that Iced Honey track, the more I like it. The spoken vocals are in time which is not always something Lou Reed does. Flame me if you want to, but it's starting to grown on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just kidding, actually I can totally see where Lour Reed fans would like this more than Metallica fans. It's very Avant-Gaurde, I always thought of Lou Reed as Avant-Guarde Punk.

Riffster Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I looked it up in youtube.com since the BBC clip would not play for me. Metallica as a backing band sounds OK, they could have played guitars without EMGs for this music, just my opinion. The mix of Lou Reed and Metallica is just not good, not good at all. Understanding what they tried to do with this project is one thing, the result is another.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVOL! Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Stop Liking It!!! I didn't want to. Honest. Just kidding, actually I can totally see where Lour Reed fans would like this more than Metallica fans. It's very Avant-Gaurde, I always thought of Lou Reed as Avant-Guarde Punk. Yeah, that's about right. I love the VU, but a lot of his solo stuff is challenging for the listener. If he could just do Walk on the Wild Side or Dirty Boulevard or Ecstasy type songs we'd all be happier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzboy Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Sorry but Lou Reed and Metallic just don't do it for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MojoRedFoot Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Finally gave those songs a listen and it's all out of place. The music aint bad....more of a Volbeat sound (metal meets 50s rock) but can't get down w/ Lou talking over it...do disrespect to the man but don't think I'll be buying it.

TarHeelKid Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Poor Metallica, I don't know what happened to them. They had some times of greatness with "some" of their earlier stuff, but got too big for their britches. They are so stuck up, it's hard to even give the stuff a chance. Retire already, and take guns and roses with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MojoRedFoot Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 They are so stuck up. Having met them, and knowing aboot other personal experiences mostly with Lars, I declare shenanigans on all statements such as these..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duende Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I watched the Jules Holland show too and despite finding it almost funny/ludicrous only recently; I found myself really enjoying this odd pairing! Almost like something just clicked - I thought they work well together. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TarHeelKid Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Having met them, and knowing aboot other personal experiences mostly with Lars, I declare shenanigans on all statements such as these..... I met them one time in Chicago, and Lars was the only one who spoke and signed an autograph, so I can't say he is stuck up. The other guys ignored a 10 year old kid wanting a signature and walked right by, and nobody else was there but some roadies running around. That always stuck in my head. No offense to Metallica fans intended, but I could care less for them now. Sorry dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Versatile Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I am not a Lou Reed fan (apart from Perfect Day and Walk on the Wild Side) or a Metallica fan But I can see the point of the collaboration Lou Reed is known for originality and a refreshing disdain for stardom There is wry humour and desperation in his music Metallica have got a bit soft and predictable It is the antithesis to X-factor/Pop Idol vacuity....(mmmm I rather like that turn of phrase) V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
