Listen: Metallica – “Just A Bullet Away”
Thursday, December 8th, 2011
Twice in one week. Metallica is really enjoying their 30th anniversary celebration...or just really trying to help us forget about Lulu.
Earlier this week, Metallica released the previously unreleased track, "Hate Train," which was recorded during the Death Magnetic sessions. Well now we've got another previously unreleased track, via Blabbermouth,… Read More

Tuesday, December 6th, 2011
Need to get the sound of Lulu out of your head? This might help a little bit.

Thursday, November 17th, 2011Watch: 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

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.

What are your thoughts on the album? Stream it here… Read More

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
