| Thursday, June 16, 2011 - Metallica To Release Album With Lou Reed | Metallica have announced that they will be releasing a collaborative album with rock legend Lou Reed. The statement on the official Metallica website is as follows:
"A few months ago our own Kirk Hammett hinted at a new Metallica project that's 'not really 100 percent a Metallica record.' While Kirk may have jumped the gun a little (and has since been properly punished with a series of push-ups!), we are more than proud to announce that we have just completed recording a full-length album that is a collaboration with none other than the legendary Lou Reed.
Ever since we had the pleasure of performing with Lou at the 25th anniversary of the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame at Madison Square Garden in October of 2009, we have been kicking around the idea of making a record together. Some of you astute Bay Area residents may have picked up news of recent Lou Reed sightings in the greater San Francisco area and we have indeed been working at our home studio at [Metallica headquarters in San Rafael, California] on and off over the last few months. In what would be lightning speed for a Metallica-related project, we recorded ten songs during this time and while at this moment we're not exactly sure when you'll hear it, we're beyond excited to share with you that the recording sessions wrapped up last week.
A true innovator and easily one of the most influential songwriters, musicians, and performers in rock music history, Lou's work with the Velvet Underground and as a solo artist has such an enduring quality that he has long been revered and respected by us and many of our peers. We can't wait for you to listen to the finished record, so as we like to hear ourselves say around here, keep watching this spot for updates . . . we'll be back with more details as they come together."

Comments: 166 | | "not really 100 percent a Metallica record"... I think they accomplished this task once before. Can you say Load and Reload...and what the hell, lets through in St. Anger. And shall I also look at the horrible mix of Death Magnetic that sound as though they threw away the base tracks. Personally I do not think we will ever hear a Metallica album that is really 100% ever again.
However I have loads of respect for Lou Reed and what he has accomplished for the past 40 years.
Perhaps Metallica will take a walk on the wild side.
Sorry, I could not resist.
