Lou Reed & Metallica - Iced Honey (Later with Jools Holland)

[Mechaghostman3]

Can somebody please punch me for enjoying this? WHY do I enjoy this SHIT?! WTF?! It's like the only song that I enjoy on this album. I half way like another 2, but Lou's even worse singing on those songs fuck it up. Plus the lyrics are horrid anyhow. I really only like this one, and tbh it's not good enough to be called even mediocre. But for some reason, I can listen and enjoy it all the way through. I'm not right in the head, and this just proves it.

[WizardofFuzz]

One does not simply combine thrash metal and whatever lou is doing

[JuniornMiasma]

perdónalos Cliff Burton

[anchorman632]

Oh god ...

[SubFocused]

im 12 years old and what is this

[metrokpacmanyeah]

i feel guilty now, i do like this fucking song

[Mechaghostman3]

@metrokpacmanyeah

Same.

[ninjasweetheart]

Still, better than St Anger.

[Mechaghostman3]

@ninjasweetheart

Wrong.

[Hedniskhjertad]

meeeekkk , old goat says when he must be in sing....

[Shakeyj100]

What a joke! Lou can't even sing in key at all. Funny

[Gosdenx7]

Lars looks like an angry potato in this video..

[1yellowapple]

2 zimmer frames away from an asbo

[KhabukiJo]

Love how Lou Reed just goes off on a tangent in the middle of the song with a bunch of squashed lyrics.

[JRabba1995]

the fact that i dont like about the whole lulu album is lou's singing, take that out replace it by james' singing, and i think it's a not bad album.

[Thomas13Lies]

@JRabba1995 i agree totally with you, but the fact that james doesn't sing the full song doesn't make it a bad album.

[nv602unclebuck]

I never thought the world would come to this, but I guess I have to say it.

C'MON KIRK MORE WAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[yokimokoko]

dick metal :)

[Billswiftgti]

WTF IS THIS?

[Reywith619V2]

kirk and rob look in pain...

[chrysmanchu]

this happens when you really don't have any ideas or be in the mood for music and the music industries push you for something to sell. this is capitalism. sell shit,souls etc

[danielmclegg]

@chrysmanchu I'd say it's the opposite... Metallica could just do a 'thrash-by-numbers' album but they chose to risk their neck by making something more divisive.

[chrysmanchu]

@danielmclegg could be. or they are too arrogant

[Sleaze2Rock]

how ridiculous are hetfield and ulrich today???????

[MrSarni]

Lou Reed spoils this :(

[KhabukiJo]

What a shitty idea lol

[jggsoldier]

lou reed se parece a un Jason viejo...tiene un muy cercano parecido...habra venido del futuro??..lastima que cago los temas de metallica :(

[HechoPorMax]

@jggsoldier Para tu información todos los temas son de Lou Reed. A mi me parece un muy buen disco tanto de Metallica como de Reed. Es un disco mas para fanáticos de la musica que para fanáticos de bandas.Si te gusta tu bandita quedate ahí, con tu remerita, pero cuando te guste la musica la vas a encontrar en muchas partes

[jggsoldier]

@HechoPorMax ...yo me quedo con mi bandita y a mi remerita la voy a hacer un bollito y te la voy hacer perder en el ojete!!!...con los primeros 3 renglones de tu comentario era suficiente..boludito

[javisambora]

@HechoPorMax la musica se encuentra en muchos sitios ,en "the view" desde luego no

[oliverwalkden6673]

looks like Lou Reed has been bribed/taken hostage by Metallica to partake in this collaboration.

[fluffheadify]

Lou reed sucks.......always have always will......this is a disgrace to music

[thedreamportal]

Reed can't fucking sing

[metallicafanclub15]

They need to turn off lou reeds mic and let james sing

[AKLPUNDERGROUND]

Dunno why but Lou looks like one of those geezers who smells like damp cigarettes

[Flea8]

Putting a metronome on Lars is hilarious....

[Kliwadenko]

its ok... it is like lou reed with metallica arrangements... i really respect the bravery to do this... but for me (fan of both), lou reed's music cannot be metaled, just because it is oldschool rock&roll pure and simple. metallica instead... they are best know because of their progressive forms and variety of very good riffs all in one song.

[ericksardinas1]

Metallica should collaborate with Paul McCartney

[liamevans1987]

If they made a Mercenaries(the game) into live action movie, James could easily(with a few acting lessons and stunt training) be Mattias Nillson xD

[lastedfull]

play master !!!!

[hallicken]

im gonna get this album from napster !!!

[CatTitBingo]

ICE HOCKEEEEEEEYY

[HeEagle]

Lou Re(a)d to Metallica: Iced Honey

[metaltera86]

Song is decent. I mean like metallica has been through thrash, heavy, mainstream metal. I can understand why they want a change in style after all these years i mean it is understandable.

[Ackronam]

@metaltera86

Then why not try jazz, classical, psychedelic... I dunno man, there are about thousand or so music genres out there, soo I totally understand a band wanting to change the phase of the game... but this just sounds like left over metallica riffs with lou reed talking in the backround

[BlitzRageSecondlife]

OMFG you think this song sucks, buy the album. This is the best song on the 2 discs! lol The rest forced me the frizbee the CD's from my moving car!

[bp1191]

What the hell happened to James Hetfield?  He used to be a total badass, now with short spiked hair and all those tats he looks like total white trash.

[JJbinkus]

'Ahh 'Lulu' sucks' - Great then don`t fucking buy it...

[thossii]

Please... don't ever, ever do that again, Metallica...

[Buddyeric44]

@thossii I love how the 2 top comments are in perfect contrast

[thossii]

@Buddyeric44 Hah. I have the top comment. Did not expect that..

[LaVitaInUnAttimo]

@thossii Fuck Lou Reed Iz A Genius !!!!

[Stinnmasta]

Best thing Metallica has done since ReLoad, Lou Reed should join the band or they should quit!

[neverAcquiesce]

You can't put a butterfly in a jar...and you can't put this CD in a player.

[ZX2ManDave]

Garbage, just absolute garbage. The only people who would like this are Lars Dickriders who thinks the sun rises and sets in his ass.

[RiffChris]

@ZX2ManDave hey, thats not true.. I'm a big Metallica and Reed fan, and I think the music is quite good! I think its interesting to see two acts so different work together

[Robeban2]

0:58 Makes me laugh everytime. Bad coverup Lars.

[ork476]

Fuck that suck

[felixstoweblue]

Am I the only person in the universe who thinks "Lulu" is a great album ? It's an amazing collision of two different styles that makes for a ground breaking and challenging collection of songs, I guess some people would rather Metallica just made the same album again and again, credit to them for trying something new and stretching their boundaries. Lou Reed is still one of the most gifted musicians I have ever seen.

[binabinacat]

@felixstoweblue

If you think all Metallica albums sound the same, I guarantee you've never listened to them. They've gone from speed metal to progressive thrash to alternative rock with hints of country, to nu metal garage rock, and back to thrash again. If you think Kill em All even sounds like the same band as Load, you are a liar.

[felixstoweblue]

@binabinacat If you read my comment correctly you will see I never said all Metallica albums sound the same. I accused some people of wanting all Metallica albums to sound the same. I have been following Metallica since the "Justice" album, so no I am not a liar. I've also seen Metallica live 4 times so I think I know what I am talking about.

[felixstoweblue]

Also I have listened to all of the Metallica albums and know they don't all sound the same and have been actively listening to music as a fan for nearly 30 years and welcome new sounds and challenging ideas, hence the fact I think Lulu is a great album. I just feel sad for people who just want to hear the same thing over and over again, but I don't consider you to be one of them,

[y2j1980x]

@matdelta1 Ok, That's something I obviously should've first considered before commenting but, my comment was based more on hearing Death Magnetic, when it was released, thinking they'd righted the wrongs of St Anger (which has some alright stuff but I agree with the general consensus that it wasn't a great album), then I heard this mix of poetry and metal, and felt like a new mistake had been made after Metallica had done so brilliantly to right their sound with Death Magnetic.

[cartoonmarc]

It sounds kinda like 2 songs played at the same time

[Xenophoebus]

@cartoonmarc two songs + one man who must not stand in front of microphone

[moize2008]

Most of you liked the album, but are ashamed to tell it, posers

[moize2008]

@matdelta1 just listen to sunday morning by the velvet underground and tell me he is not a singer

[felixstoweblue]

@moize2008 spot on my friend. Lou Reed is a very gifted musician.

[MrHowlinAxle]

Metallicas albums from Re-load onwards have been awful, but this is really shocking.

Poor twisted them. :(

[texasB666]

I heard a rumor about a Justin Bieber and Meshuggah collaboration....

[BigFatRomanTitties]

Gosh all of us who can play some chords and bullshit something into it at the same time can go replace lou reed lol XD Doesn't even need melodic sense XDD

[y2j1980x]

I've only heard 'The View' (dislike) 'Dragon' (like), and...most of this track, but I feel that, if the collaboration had stopped at Lou Reed not singing anything and, instead, if not James, someone younger had stepped in and sung Lou Reed's part instead - it would sound alright. Metallica's instrumentals, I think, are just too much of a contradiction to Lou Reeds voice, which hides under overly repeated riffs. Change the vocalist and the album might be alright (I think).

[Death1337666]

@y2j1980x Maybe Nick Cave

[korinoi]

is it just me or does james look really fucking young here?

[littlelonnie14]

@korinoi Finally! Someone else sees it!

[ViperActive666]

I would prefer if James sung the whole thing. I dislike Lou Reed's vocals.

[KoKaTa]

how could this any worse?

[metalpi3x]

Lou reed ruined metallica in this performance with vocals that resembled a crazy old man shouting at the nurses in an old folks home.

[tchpandy]

This is, without question, the best thing Metallica has ever done. They should see if they can recruit Lou as a full-time frontman, so James can concentrate on gurning and shaping his goatee more.

[cubby3o5]

The music part actually sounds good, somewhere between dark and happy. The vocals are just what the fuck.

[metallicafanclub15]

just a project not the next metallica album so chill the fuck out



[hellobooom]

why the fuck would metallica do this..... ive lost 20% of my respect for them because of this

[skidrowsux1977]

faggots

[satellitejr]

well i think it a good album another good song successive by metallica and lou reed. mostly people dont like it because sound and the vocals. lou reed does all kind of Genes. And Metallica Choose it. nobody said nothing when they play together at the rock and roll hall of fame in 2009.

[skidrowsux1977]

@satellitejr "most people dont like it because sound and the vocals""" HAHAHAHA, YA THINK?

[comikid23]

I'm pretty sure that Jason Newsted disguised as an old guy

[danielleseman97]

the only good thing about lulu is the bass

[streethassled]

I hafta get this of my chest. It's a Lou Reed conspired Album...way over Metallica's fans head's. Metallica Did well though..Kudos to them. An Album hard to swallow for the majority. Metal Machine Music maybe top 40 in the next 50 Years, who knows?

[Hebron14]

@streethassled I have honestly tried to give this a chance. I appreciate music from many genres, this isn't over my head. It sounds sloppy, monotonous and lacks any sort of a groove. This is like a modern art piece where paint is splashed all over a canvas and called art when in reality it looks like a kindergartner's doodles. I understand art is subjective to the audience, that is what makes it interesting. This album took balls to put out though, I will give them that.

[wildsidecrew]

really like it, sounds kinda lou in his "new york" days but with a much heavier sound naturally

[mikestamper]

Somebody help James Hetfield to tune his voice!!

[Maffin007]

It's crazy! Like two sides of a coin! It's looking little bit mindless.

[berniecc]

The mistake of this album is listening to it when you don't like it. The mistake is saying that this album is a mistake.

[berniecc]

Please Metallica Fans, "Lulu" is obviously a Lou Reed album with Metallica as backing band along with other musicians, so if you don't like it don't beat the shit out of it and just listen to Metallica albums. Okay?

[MissSunnyClaire1]

@berniecc thats the truth

[37megadethfan]

@berniecc like saint anger?

[Ackronam]

@berniecc

What metallica albums? I mean... I don't wanna sound like an elitist, but the first three metallica albums are the only good ones in my opinion.

[rgraz1022]

I like it too !

[TheJourneyman87]

The only - and best!

[MyTuomas]

shit love this one!! love the fiiiiiiiling!!!!

[oskayification]

Lou Reeds like back ground sound like open tv or etc

[mrsquirrel5]

This sux....

[danielba01]

I love it!!!

[Dudelol24]

@danielba01 :thefuck: ??

[danielba01]

@Dudelol24 whats your problem? i happen to like it.

[SanDonatoKings]

Pure art...not music for all. Excellent!

[CollectiveVentures1]

@SanDonatoKings How can u even call it art? All he is doing is reading someone elses poetry over bad Metallica Riffs.

[SanDonatoKings]

@CollectiveVentures1 Art is a quite big concept....Anyways I like the artistic way they're proposing this poetry: I think it's something quite unusual (not new, but unusual), and to hear some heavy riffs (I don't find em "bad", but these are just personal tastes!) mixed with a theatrical pièce is a brave decision, cause is something NOT commercial and, for this reason, not for all. Lou Reed ('cause this is a Reed album) has always been an experimental, that's what I like!

[God0Mighty1]

I think I am starting to get this now.

[CollectiveVentures1]

@God0Mighty1 I'm sorry

[Joseph1006744]

a los fans de Metallica que se pusieron trsites por que no le sgusto el disco yo les diria y kiero pensar que el disco no tiene thrash por que solo fue un disco en conjusto con una leyenda, y solo fue eso un disco en conjunto con Lou Reed no se pongan tristes esperemos el suigiente disco de Metallica, por ahora Megadeth saco un muy buen disco.

[slayerreign]

@Metallica: I understand you want to "experiment" new grounds but could you please do us all a favour? Could you keep your experiments for yourselves?

@Reed: STFU. Ask somebody to explain you what it means.

[665DM]

Dislike ....

[Nigganechi]

Holy fuck this is terrible!!! hahahaha

[shredmonz]

this sucks



[kuurtcoobaaiin]

Realmente la caga MAL Lou Reed

[organaphus]

I LOVE the album, I think it's because I'm more a fan of Lou Reed than Metallica...I'd go as far as to say that if he'd done it with another, more obscure metal band, it would've been hailed as innovative and courageous. The main issue is that Metallica fans simply don't "get" Reed.

[rpalermo21]

@organaphus How could you possibly love this shit?! With all due respect to Lou, He should have never touched the steaming pile of crap.

[sammylane21]

WOW!!Seriously?? I never thought that METALLICA would actually sellout quite like this??Heehee!!The Like/Dislike bar is almost even with only a 64 vote difference!

[12JimmySmith]

@sammylane21 I despise the album, but how are they selling out? They are collaborating with a guy that has a tiny cult following and is slaughtered by music listeners and critics non stop! They guy hasn't had a hit since the early 70s.

[mrfenderbenderman]

@sammylane21 jesus you are retarded, i think lulu is awful but this is the oppisate of selling out, collaborating with lou reed to make possibly the least possible commercially succesful album ever?

[yatestoon]

this is class!

[kancho74]

reed should stick to writing songs, he has a talent for it but singing.......

[johnnybackmusic]

es jodidamente bueno!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Methrt3]

This is just terrible. It sounds like two different songs playing at the same time.

[danjbateman]

im sorry lou reed but not so many people like your singing however you can defineatley play the guitar

[wasurai]

Why was there nobody at any point during the making of this album to say 'wait... guys... you're making a terrible mistake'???

[slayerreign]

@wasurai I wonder exactly the same. Either Metallica were completely deaf or nobody was in the recording studio and Metallica recorded it themselves.

[ericksardinas1]

@wasurai This is an excellent theme and you may take 20 years to understand the true meaning of art and why metallica with more than 30 years continues to be successful

[wasurai]

@ericksardinas1 I'll get back to you in 20 years when I've managed to understand the true meaning of art then. I was certain I'd figured it out at university, but back then they didn't have this album to show us as an example.

[ericksardinas1]

@wasurai Intelligence and knowledge are two different things, your confusion begins in the time to collect information that you think is synonymous with intelligence, but it is not, intelligence is the ability to use these data and constructive use of them ... if metallica had continued to record albums like "kill em all" would still be playing in bars to 100 drunk ... I love thrash metal, but also applaud the capability maturity of the band.

[wasurai]

@ericksardinas1 Why are you pretending to be smart? Why are you pretending to know anything about me? I was being sarcastic. Did you miss that? Who mentioned 'Kill 'em All'? Actually I don't care for the band. This is garbage. Sorry.

[ADarkLegacy]

Hitting 2 and seeing Lars trying to make a metal face to this is Priceless

[Fivefrogswithguns]

Thats just horrible!

[TheEmzz13]

this is fag

[10laughungtears]

"We do what we wanna do, if they call that selling out then whatever" Quoth the great Cliff Burton. Though I agree that this isn't Metallica's style AT ALL. Yes, they've had "easier" songs, ballads, but they were always in their style. This album is a great way to show their creativity in other styles of music, but it's all it is. Nothing more. Metallica's new album will probably be their huge comeback after they've seen the criticism regarding this project. And Lou's singing is just talking lol

[kevnb3]

im happy to see lou reed getting the respect he deserves from metallica. But I think he needs to retire, he just doesn't have it in him anymore.

[gul067307]

yeah, i can hold down a d minor chord and speak about iced honey too.

[slayerreign]

@gul067307 LOL! I think even my granny can!

[vladaro]

@gul067307 you can also suck dick no?

[luuklugtenburg]

I actually like it when James starts to sing :(

[arodmitton]

what's with James' douche-bag faux-hawk?

[MetallicUFO]

good lyrics and music but horrible voice!!! what´s happened with Lou?

[crowbarred]

I really want to report this video as inappropriate? god yes

[crowbarred]

Please tell me this is a joke ... ears of pain and bleeding

[CapaGrezzaTube]

Awful.



[hockeydude634]

@CapaGrezzaTube just the singing

[Alfret17]

Lou Reed is a great musician but in this video looks like a big loser. Totally fail.

[013lakers]

I wonder if Metallica members really like these songs...

[slayerreign]

@013lakers No, we don't. We just hope it's a bad dream.

[rhorschack]

Lulu is the worst thing that has happened to music for a very long time. I'd rather listen to "Rebecca Black" than this...

[afoolisharrangement]

I almost feel sorry for metallica..im so sure the crowd inside was thinking, WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS GARBAGE" oh how the mighty have fallen..and I almost feel sorry for metallica but I dont cause they make more money in 30 seconds than i will ever make in my life, but man this is HORRIBLE, this makes reload and st anger seem like master of puppets and and justice for all, BY THE WAY..Megadeths new album is amazingly bad ass!!

[DreadedLeopard]

it's not really that bad. the vocals meh, but it's ok.

[Must7Rock]

@TheFantasticMrHell wtf does attaching a name mean? A band that has succesfully released metal albums does not have the right to experiment with other kinds of music? eg marty friedman or beatles. lemmy claims motorhead is a hard rock band, fans consider him metal. fuck labels, they wanted to do it so they did it. it would be wrong if they didn't cause they are fucking MUSICIANS!

and personally, i obviously prefer the old metallica, but my point is that it doesn't matter

[thestoryteller612]

@Must7Rock what kind of music is this? i hate this, because metallica started out as fire brathing "destroy posers" band. look at james now, look at him! instead of "ice honeeeeeeeeeeeea", he should sing, "more moneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaah!

[iceonaboy]

It sounds like a decent band are playing at someones wedding and the brides drunk uncle gets up to sing and the band are like, I suppose they are paying for it, so lets humour him.

[slayerreign]

@iceonaboy LOL

[iceonaboy]

Fuckin shite, pure pish man! Lou Reed spoils anything!

[shavi306]

i love the riff of just this song but, lou reed reminds me with the guys in American idol who tried 2 cover a song with voice to show his talent ( like the guys who think they are really talented)

[GravesideRecords]

I'm sure this is the best Lou Reed Album ever! However it still sucks. While I can appreciate the artistic side of this idea and venture for all parties involved it simply doesn't make up for the fact that this horrendous. That said, as a metallica fan I'm not even suprised anymore. The alienation from the fanbase that made them who they are began with the black album and has slowly but surely descended to this....this! what the hell is this!?!?!?

[bjorks007]

WTF man , what the.... F..

[Must7Rock]

1. THIS IS NOT A METALLICA ALBUM

2. HOW CAN YOU DISLIKE A LOU REED ALBUM WITHOUT KNOWING THE LYRICS? THAT'S THE POINT OF HIS MUSIC.

3. It is being judged by people who expect a thrash album.

you can dislike it all you want but PLEASE dislike it for the right reasons.

-a tallica and reed fan

[bjorks007]

@Must7Rock .. Call it whathever you want...This is not music..

[mariodelaluna15]

Like it ! :D

[grekinstyle]

lol lars 0.58

[sukkahiki666]

I would rather listen to porngrind than this shit... And if you have ever listened to any porngrind band you know how bad that is.

[DKPolend]

Lou Reed I HATE YOU !
