Watch: Lou Reed and Metallica perform on Later…with Jools Holland
Wednesday, November 9th, 2011A car wreck. A tornado. A drunken bar fight at 2 am. A horribly disfigured person. These are all things that we still can't manage to pry our eyes away from. We just have to look even though we know they're devastating. We now have one more thing to add to that list: Lou Reed and Metallica performing "Iced Honey" from the awful Lulu.
Up top you can watch them perform the song "Iced Honey" during their appearance on Later...with Jools Holland. Down below, to try and make up for the Lulu… Read More
Darren Aronofsky to direct music video for “Iced Honey” from Lulu
Thursday, November 3rd, 2011
Darren Aronofsky is a great director. Black Swan, The Wrestler, and Requiem For A Dream are just a few of the phenomenal films that he has helmed. Now I'm not one to question someone's artistic integrity and vision...but what the fuck, Darren?
Over at the Lou Reed/Metallica website, an announcement was made that Aronofsky would direct a music video for the… Read More
Review: Lou Reed & Metallica – Lulu
Saturday, October 29th, 2011On today's Rock it Out! Blog, I review the Lou Reed/Metallica album, Lulu. If you haven't listened to this record yet, it might be better if you don't. It's uninspiring and really has no redeeming qualities about it.
Yes, some of the riffs on the album are okay but it's Lou Reed's vocals that spoil the whole record. He speaks through the whole album and the lyrics have no depth since he sounds like he's rambling.
What are your thoughts on the album? Stream it here… Read More
Listen: Lou Reed & Metallica – Lulu
Wednesday, October 19th, 2011
Oh look. Since Lou Reed and Metallica's Lulu has leaked onto the interwebz, they decided to stream the entire album before it's release on November 1st. You can head to the album's website to hear it in its entirety. Although friends of mine have thrown off their headphones in disgust about 1:46 into the first track...and it's a 70+ minute album. Oh boy. Read More
Stream: 30-second snippets from Lulu
Tuesday, October 18th, 2011
Well it looks like you get an opportunity to spit a bit of early love or hate for Lou Reed and Metallica's Lulu. Down below you can stream 30-second snippets of the album. It's in stores on November 1st and based of what I'm hearing I don't plan on buying this thing. Reed's voice just kills me. An old man wailing over dark metal riffs aren't in anymore.

Metallica & Lou Reed - "The View"
Listen: 90-second preview of “The View” from Lulu
Saturday, September 24th, 2011So remember how a few of us were worried about the 30-second preview of "The View" from Lou Reed and Metallica? We weren't exactly sure what to think of Lou Reed speaking over a basic sounding Metallica track. But now we have a 90-second preview of the Lulu track up top.
Thoughts on the minute and a half of music? Ummm...yeah, it's still more of the same. I mean, Reed sings a little now but it's… Read More
