Lou Reed & Metallica: The View

[killerdwarf7]

if anything...this shows us what metallica would be without a hetfield. it wouldnt be metallica!

[IronBruceBruce]

Bruttoooooo

[maxinator96]

When James starts singing it's actually amazing... but Lou Reed... Oh dear xD

[metallights]

(The fanboy army is thumbing down my comment about Lars, lol! Sweet puppies!)

[BrockyMocky]

Lou Reed can't even sing!!!!!! LOL

EPIC FAIL

[supern00b25]

@BrockyMocky Can you?

[BrockyMocky]

@supern00b25

even my voice is better than his

[metallights]

@supern00b25 And are you able to kill the cow for your hamburger? Or to weave the cotton for your jeans? He's a listener, he doesn't need to have a good voice, but good ears instead.

[Raittarian]

What the fuck is this???

[bsunnyisaac]

Like I said before, with this album, Metallica have proved to be a piss-poor band in metal. Hell, they should not even call themselves. I listen only to their pre-black album era songs, not bullshit like this.

[iansayfol]

This song could be interesting for they didn't play the same riff for the whole song

[TheFurryMetallicaFan]

this search goes on...for a better album, LOUS A DICK DICK DICK DICK DICK COCK, LOUS A DICK DICK DICK DICK DICK COCK

[GreenDayRocks3597]

My fuck this gets me angry. Fuck you Lou Reed

[GriefSmilesUponUs]

@GreenDayRocks3597

Go whine somewhere else, emoboy, you ain't fooling no-one.

[TheFurryMetallicaFan]

@GreenDayRocks3597 poser



[fockka]

YOU SUCK BALLS

[TheSinUnforgiven]

How can you all hate this album? This is by far their best album to date. Maybe better than Ride The Lightning! Such an avant garde masterpiece(: Anyone who hates this album is clearly illiterate...

[nasacor1]

@TheSinUnforgiven good morning mr reed.

[AmigoFiell]

can we even consider this a song??

[nickzilbersher5927]

@AmigoFiell probably not... :( lou reed is talking, not singing. Metallica could have been so much more productive with their time, making something w/out lou reed. He's fucking 70 yrs old

[AmigoFiell]

@nickzilbersher5927 so true... he's too old for metal lol

[legonlegoff]

This album is a bigger, corn-ridden steamloaf than St Anger.

[FinnicPagan]

I like this record!

[canaldosaad]

wtf?????

[koijala]

Well I think im starting to like this song, 'cause I have listened it so many times:) And screw you, who hate this song. Rispect to Metallica! Btw, I pressed "Like".

[metallights]

@koijala Screw yourself, little faggot asshole idiot jerk looser! You're only a 14-year-old, respect adult fans and learn the good manners before speaking!

[KingWarriorMusic]

@metallights stop, he's new to Metallica :/ let him be

[metallights]

@KingWarriorMusic Aw, I really admire your "dad's protective instinct", you're acting as a wise, mature fan, and that's good, for sure. Nevertheless, that arrogant fanboy should learn this simple law: "action, reaction". If he wants respect, he has to earn it.

[KingWarriorMusic]

@metallights well, that's true you got a point in there bro, but also if he really likes Metallica, he shouldn't stop with this album or just having a certain song that every one knows because it is overrated or something like that, I think he should start where we all started, or at least I started with, Kill 'em All or Ride the Lightning.

Cheers bro! :)

[monybvb]

Oh, God!

[UKNOWIT88]

This is badass

[999METALLICAfan666]

dieeee LARS just dieeeee

[999METALLICAfan666]

cliff burton would commit suicide if he had seen this, now he just rolled over in his grave :(((((((

[TheNatkec128]

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy :(( Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ????? A BIG MISTERYY :(

[feidtublec]

This sound suits really bad with the song

[mranaya92]

is this song a beast instrumental? (yes) then metallica is still there lou reed is just the singer poet or w.e u wanna think of him

[notsohappyabdi]

What's with all this hate? I know its not a good album but its metallica and lou reed. It's not like they sold their soul to pop music like brian may did with that fucking annoying song with dappy. Be thankful for that!

[In61Seconds]

This is just..Absolutely terrible. So glad that Metallica's back in the studio for a new album..Hopefully WITHOUT Lou Reed this time.

[metallights]

@In61Seconds Metallica should be back in the studio for a new album without Lars, IMO.

[WikiHeba96]

@metallights SHUT IT ! Lars is the best !!!!

[crocker661]

metallica: y u no make album without lou reed?

[jodie14012]

SOAD: WHY'D YOU LEAVE YOUR KEYS UPON THE HETFIELD?

[PavleenaX]

I expected something more from this.

[asdfcrow]

I might actually be able to enjoy this without lou reed.

[joshuaayush]

I was the table, Then I took an arrow to the knee :(

[dantherocker1]

@joshuaayush Shut the fuck up

[Fuckinghaggis]

I AM THE TABLE

[Ollievarium]

"It's not like anyone listens to Puppets and says 'not bad, but no Lou Reed?'" - Hitler

[LOseIDon]

This would be good with old tallica.

[nirvanakid667]

Wait a minute? so, they pretty such took the vocals out of a velvet underground song and slaped it over a metallica riff. Who the fuck told them that was an idea, it also sound like lou reed is trying to be angry, but he is failing

[VisionOfTJ]

What a career booster for Metallica...

[THEFLYINGREDNECK]

This is like cheese and ice cream, both are good, but horrible together.

[starisloven14]

WTF?

[Muksmiduulit]

It's like Bob Dylan; excellent songwriter - terrible singer...

[Nettacki]

@Muksmiduulit except Bob Dylan actually knows how to sing and maintain a tune (somewhat).

[metallights]

I'm a Metallica fan, I really love this band, so don't get me wrong... but if you wanna give your ears a little rest after this, come to see my Channel and listen to the "Metal Lands" playlist. You will thank me ^_^

[MrGuitarforyou]

if it was just james singing it would be great..

[20Divine13Glock33]

....i want the instrumentals only just the instruments...or idk

[sebb0ne]

The first time I listened to this song I thought it was april joke.. then I realized it wasn't april.

[Andokai92]

lou reed makes music....since 1967....this song is a perfect combination like Heavy, Old Rock, and the two souls from Lou Reed and Metallica...This album is not my favourite but i like this...There make their own thing...

[MrShaboo22]

People is to stupid to listen to the lyrics. I kinda like this song.

[dudohan]

HAHA

[pauljam98]

EVERYBODY SHUT THE FUCK UP , LOU REED IS SPEEKING !!!! YEAH

[PatientGreg]

Patient Greg does not approve of this

[TheSoundHearer]

At this point in time I think most people don't care what Metallica does anymore.

[etgor]

COME ON LARS SUCK BALLS IF U CHANGE THE DRUMMER THIS CAN SOUND BETTER WTF!!!!!!

[etgor]

@etgor so anoying drums

[Afrokoopa]

4:15 sounds like he says Equestria. Now James is a brony e_e

[1xadavid]

Hey, does anyone else get the feeling that this guy is a table?

[Jedibob5]

Why did they say this album was by Lou Reed AND Metallica? In reality it's just Lou Reed Feat. Metallica... This is Lou's fault, not Metallica's...

[themodernguitarist]

@Jedibob5

Its Metallica's fault for taking place, too.

[metallights]

@Jedibob5 Metallica made the Metal line for Lulu, not Lou Reed. Thus, this album is not just a Lou Reed's fault. Actually, Lulu is a Metallica's failure better than a Reed's failure. In fact, Lou is singing his lyrics just the way he always did, while Metallica is playing below his usual standard. Anyway, there's a special, creepy beauty in Lulu, that turned this album in a true cult, IMO.

[Jedibob5]

@metallights It's Metallica's fault for agreeing to work with the washed-up old fool, but I'm pretty sure Lou had most of the creative control when it came to the songwriting. I can't see Metallica writing repetitive drone riffs by choice.

I'm mostly just tired of people using this album to write off Metallica as dead. They made some odd musical decisions, but they're still capable thrashers - Death Magnetic was badass.

[metallights]

@Jedibob5 I totally agree with you when you say "I'm just tired of people using this album to write off Metallica as dead". Now I get why you see Lou Reed as the guiltiest guy among them :-) Anyway, I find a bit unnecessary to call him "washed-up old fool". He's fucking great, just because insane. And Lulu is the odd daughter of a weird relation. As a Metalhead, I bashed this album as hell; as a fan of poetry, I can affirm Lulu (album) is a dark, creepy, charming creature.

[roywhiteo5]

i would like this song if there were no vocals. they really need to bring jason newstead back and run every song past him for metal certification

[THEAddictIT]

C' est à chier !



[ZOSOrulz1]

They should all JUMP IN THE FIRE and die before they make any more of this retarded shit

[IhelpU4XBL]

What the fuck was metallica thinking....

[SkyGrinder2011]

James Hetfield is never gonna be able to live that lyric down....ever.

[Queen0fThePumpkins]

why are so much metallica fans so ignorant... =/

[ChaseDarkFox96]

I don't see the problem with the album, it's actually not too bad

[Altair6426]

I am the table

I am the view

Death magnetic was alright but this sucks ass

[matthood0]

I actually like this, unfortunately the rest of the album sucks.

[TheFurryMetallicaFan]

hey everybody James Hetfield is a table. LETS GO TELL THE INTERNET!! 8D

[HellBentForLeather18]

i say this to all the gay lovers of mainstream who suck badly: METAL UP YOUR ASSES!!! \m/

[HellBentForLeather18]

okay, this album SUCKS VERY BADLY! but, it's still nowhere near as bad as gay mainstream pop bullshit, i would rather listen to THIS all day than hear that fat bitch adele whine about how she got dumped, atleast this is better than all that shit! Lil wayne, pitbull, and tons more need to DIE A PAINFUL DEATH! they ruined this generation and they SUCK SUCK SUCKITY SUCK!

[jooodsdssdd]

@HellBentForLeather18 i must agree with you.

[metallights]

@HellBentForLeather18 Should I love "bad" only because "worse" exists? No, thanks. I still prefer the "good" music.

[ElvosDragonHeart]

I think the only good thing about this album is that it makes St Anger look like a masterpiece. This album is fucking bad.

[CUNProductions]

He sounds like an online translator

[justcruisin24]

I am the table...

[niedzielan333]

This music is destroying my ears, I do not understand why Metallica has recorded with him (Lou Reed) album

[niedzielan333]

This is not Metallica

[arajuiojuo]

Give me fuel...

[deantivakul]

Metallica, if it ain't broke, don't fuck with it.

[deantivakul]

this is SAD BUT TRUE

[xRandax94]

I honestly tried to like this...but I can't. I don't like how Lou's voice and Metallica's music mix... :/

[realsit]

wow this is just awful

[Slang1701]

WOW, Metallica has come a long way...

[DaveTheUseless]

This is an amazing song by an amazing band and an amazing solo musician. I don't get the hate. Among my favorites of 2011.

[cadaverr]

LOL.

[Jopromi1]

cry baby! ;-)

[ooneto193110]

they wanted to do it so they did it, its their problem. If they enjoyed it, its ok that they did it. Dont like dont listen anymore. Why everybody is so intolerant with other people's failure? .

[Afrokoopa]

@ooneto193110 It called TROLLING

[GnK18]

This is Sad but true

[GeorgeBrooks09]

This is a joke.

Right?

[miaoudzilla]

drums sounds like bad seed.

[KataDaemonaEaftou]

Honestly, I do like it! Is it something wrong with me?

[organaphus]

@KataDaemonaEaftou Nah, just a lot of philistines around...put it this way-my neighbours have long since learned to appreciate it! :D

[KataDaemonaEaftou]

@organaphus I just think the same...and my comment was a liitle ironic for all those close minded people....

[vinixandin]

Porra oq é isso?

[ZoidyCze]

Lars, srsly, stop doing PR and start practicing. The cymbals are so horrible...

The good thing is I cant even criticise the whole thing, because of the drumming

[Sleaze2Rock]

is it my ears or is lars ulrich disabled?

[gregmiester88]

I can't tell if Lou Reed is singing or just talking...

[PatientGreg]

This music is ridiculous. It's just clown music

[imcoolnow]

i can't think of one person on planet earth that would seriously listen to this

[fire9312]

"I am the table" is the best part of the song

[The4x4truckerman]

i actively despise this album!

[nadav157]

From the great albums "Kill 'Em All" , "Ride the Lightning" ,"Master of Puppets " ,"Load" and "ReLoad" to this fucking LULU??? WTF?!!!

GO MEGADETH!!!!

[napalmman420]

Fucking GARBAGE.

[HXCMETALlolz]

Absolutely fucking pretentious and awful. Lars just recently said this album will be remembered 100 years down the line...yes as what NOT to do in music. Justin Bieber is a BIT more bearable then this shit.

[anderbax]

Todos estos comentarios me recuerdan cuando a Dylan lo querian linchar por haber cambiado su estilo...aún así Dylan es genial...creo que eso sucede en un principio...algunos no son comprendidos...los lapidan y con el tiempo eso cambia...

[OnaWasHere]

Lou Reed is talking, not singing

[jzseymour]

Somewhere Dave Mustaine is laughing! Go Megadeth!!!

[FolkMetalPiper]

I wonder if they know how badly they failed

[GoldenBoySwallowSea]

This song is fuckin great!

[Paypabluntz]

@GoldenBoySwallowSea 0/10

[gold3npimp]

I AM DISABLED!

[Inderption]

Lolol. 

[SBettle]

A long, long time ago Metallica changed me from a fan of dance music to a fan of metal. I'm embarrassed by this. I would only say this if I honestly thought that I, someone who has never made a metal song, could write and make a better song. You should be ashamed of yourselves. This isn't bitching, this is honesty.

[inferno232]

This is something I like based solely off of how chaotic and bad it is. It's perfect. Perfectly bad.

"I AM THE TABLE!"

[crofold]

Great that Metallica got inspired to write music about a mysterious, tempestuous woman.. Sorry but that has nothing to do with thrash metal. I wonder if Metallica knows how awful they sound now...?

[easy12222]

lou reeds crear is fucked but metallicas aint :D

[1zv]

metallica try a mike patton and fail completely

[ACslashDC666]

I'm so sick of people bitching over this! All right, maby it sounds like two radiostadions playing at the same time, and maby it's not the greatest song in the world, but for God sake, it's METAL! Remember what Dio said about that? All of us here like music, so go, and bitch over some bieber mainstream shit in stead!

And they don't need a new drummer, Lars is awesome!!!

Thanks(-:

[easy12222]

@ACslashDC666 well then we cant bitch about gwar or posion. there shitty things every where even in metal. and sorry to break it to you but lars sucks a 10 year old can play and song on drums from metallica.

[skaterobban]

@ACslashDC666 i heard slipknot was metal too. does that make it good? fuckin moron. and i dont think you should name Dio = god of metal on a piece of shit video like this.

[TASTIEas]

wow what happened to metallica. i think they need a new drummer

[Astronomy25Domine]

6125 tables liked this

[GoldenBoySwallowSea]

I like Lou Reed, and I like Metallica, but this collaboration just doesn't work. I mean, this is not the worst thing I've ever heard, but it's just not meant to be. And the avant-garde metal thing? Please. If you want good avant-metal, listen to Maudlin of the Well or Ephel Duath, or anything out of the post metal genre.

[TheMushroomSlayer]

This is THE THING THAT SHOULD NOT BE!



[namtar72]

@TheMushroomSlayer from 2,38 to 4,0 it is

[Thepic]

And besides, how could one not like them tasty Metallica riffs? Y'all are just dumb. Wiki lists this album under the Avant-garde metal genre. If you don't know what that means, you are probably too stupid to understand what makes this song good.

[TheMushroomSlayer]

@Thepic Listen to some past Metallica songs, then tell me that this song is even remotely good.

[Thepic]

@TheMushroomSlayer I listen to most Metallica albums, some I don't like. If bands stayed the same, and had the same sound all the time, it would get boring, and their record sales would be in the shitter.

[Thepic]

I like it. Just remember folks, this is not Metallica. This is not a Metallica album, it's a Lou Reed album with Metallica doing the instrumentals. Derp. Anyway, I enjoy the poetry, pretty good shit.

[MetalXarliC]

son, i'm disappointed

[JusticeInWar]

i like the early metallica's, i like slayer, megadeth, kreator. i like thrash and death metal.

AND i like lulu. it's lou reed ft. metallica, what's wrong with it sounding like lou reed having lou reed played? are you that rednecks, guys? enjoy this, it's new for me, even though i know metallica and lou reed

and yes, i hate black album, load, reload, all the fucking re-reloads. but guys, this is epic!

[metallights]

@JusticeInWar If only Metallica fanboys and Lou Reed fans like Lulu, there must be a reason, uh?

[easy12222]

@metallights

[Metallica49200]

I personally love Lulu and I don't give a damn what everyone else thinks. It's pretty pathetic when all of their fans hate them over a fucking collaboration. Seriously? Grow the fuck up.

[sugkukenminhore]

@Metallica49200

See we dont hate them over this. We hate them over load, reload, napster and the rest of the shit they have produced since 1991.

Lars said in a recent docu that if they had continued to make thrash metal after justice, that would have been the sellout the fans were talking about.

So how does that make one feel when they go on and try to reclaim old fans by doing tours only playing the old shit? Or try to make new albums sound more like the old?

[metallights]

@Metallica49200 Hey baby, you have a right to like Lulu, as for me you're free of jerking off every single day listening to that, but don't dare to tell me (and the other mature fans) "grow the fuck up", uh? You're just a sixteen-year-old and you're wet behind the ears!

[metallights]

@Metallica49200 And do you know the saying “The pot calling the kettle black”? I stressed your age just because you dared to tell adult fans “Grow the fuck up”. You should be more polite relating to a mature fan, words are a boomerang baby, if u don't like to be insulted, don’t insult. As for your question, I don’t like St. Anger, but I like a couple of songs in Load and Reload. To be a mature fan doesn’t mean to love every shit coming from your favourite band, this is what a fanboy does.

[damnit976]

i created a youtube acount to find all "lulu" songs and dislike them. shame on you lars!

[metallights]

And to think that they once despised GLAM (= Gay Los Angeles Metal)! Now they've made an album with one of the greatest gay rockers of all time, lol!

[BrotherBadSeed]

Who produced this shit? I mean really? Who was the coked-up ass clown in the mixing booth shaking his dirty ponytail, and saying, 'Yeah, that's it. I like what I'm hearing here. Okay Lars let's try it a bit slower, and Lou could you remove all emotion from your voice, and sing a bit flater, James I got a great hook for ya' baby. . .'

[metallights]

@BrotherBadSeed Ahahahah! I should be angry with you because I'm a Metallica fan, but your comment made me burst into fits of laughter, dude! :-D

[Parag0n]

This is so fucking horrible

[Gurnavemerno]

This could have the potential to be OK if:

a) Pearl Jam or Alice In Chains or a band with a more textured, nuanced sound did it

b) Metallica did it faster without Lou Reed and just James singing

maybe

[piskorz1]

dudes, it wasnt produced for commercial success it was more of a experiment with lou reed. Actually, u know what, u have to decide what u want from metallica: since 1996 everyone is complaining about metallica being too commercial, now everyone is complaining about metallica trying out something new and not commercial. Who cares it has not exactly worked out, but at least lets not make so big losers out of them about it.

[zoomerzrewl]

@piskorz1 when metallica was writing good music (up until 1991) it was thrash metal. there's no respect in metal for a band that fucks with something that was good the way it was.

[MrDJArok]

i thought the first 2 minutes that it was just an intro to the actual song, man this album is shit

[FailureInLife1316]

so basically James, you're a table?
