Lou Reed & Metallica - Iced Honey (Later Live with Jools Holland) 8th Nov 2011

[CoreyTB1]

reminds me of chocolate rain

[RazZaStar]

omg this sucks :(

[shadowyashatoura]

The music is not so bad but when Lou Reed enters is between annoying and hilarious

[metallicafan2005]

i think the best way to enjoy this music to not to consider this another metallica record. i mean, think of this as just another band with their own kind of music and not to expect a metallica like sound. close ur eyes, don't think metallica, just listen. enjoy.

[danienelphoto]

Get Lou out of there and let James sing, then this can work pretty decently. Maybe if Lou just writes songs with them it'll be better than performing too. Metallica is seriously good musically, but this boy not so much.

[Nicksteen]

This is seriously a bunch of rubbish. Lou Reed especially sucks here. He can't sing for hell anymore. I'm all for taking risks and chances and doing cool collaborations, but this one did NOT come out cool. A bunch of garbage. Sounds like a group of drunken monkeys

[JamesPaterson2395]

Instrumentally this album and song are amazing but Lou Reed is terrible!

[astroboirap]

this is bullshit. and lou reed looking like my testicles in the morning doesnt help.

[atomikdestruktor1]

fucking awful

[Pluh88]

Seems like lars is the only one that enjoying this

[ElPsychotron]

Watch this and think about Kill'Em All ...

[seanmatt6731]

I don't understand why I am wasting my time telling some of you this, and you know who you are, but there are many cowards in this forum right now. All of you talking shit wouldn't ever have the sac to say this to Metallica's face or Lou Reed's.

[mtlca1234567890]

and where is band called "metallica?"

[mtlca1234567890]

Metallica used to be good

[ozzylaza]

this sux balls. Lou reed talks he doesnt sing

[IShallBeFree1]

Why ?

[shanecarroll92]

who da fuck is lou reed......sounds like a retard

[organaphus]

@shanecarroll92 "Who da fuck is lou reed"...and you have the audacity to insinuate someone else sounds like a retard?

[NightmareGanon]

@shanecarroll92 Now you, sir, are either a troll or an idiot. Lou's performance here is bad... but he is still Lou Reed.

[RMMikeRotch]

maybe if lars had died in the bus accident, this kind of shit wouldn't happen

[seanmatt6731]

@RMMikeRotch ur a frigin tool. Never would have the sac to say that to his face you coward

[Marcmaceff1996]

This is like watching your relative die of cancer.

[deposit12345678910]

this is just awful

[JamesTylerHope]

I am the table.

[carbonquiznoz1]

shit..

[ForeverFanMetallica]

I get pretty mad when people complain about a bad album ... If you do not like it - don't hear it!

[MrUtub456]

Metallica are still great although playing way too slow - it's just a collaberation that doesn't work and I guess nobody had the balls to tell them!

[ClaudioSanchezCC]

The riffs are great, lou reed fucks it up

[twinkletwinklelilbat]

I am laughing so hard right now

[hhobegginernew]

It fucgking rocks... Let the guys have some fun... Why does it have to be always the same shit?

Come on, sing it old man! Respect

[DannyBoy9932]

Kirk looks so bored playing this.

[megloman1975]

Ok? (scratching head)

[SnowblindBerserker]

this is unreal. i mean what kind of drugs and threats (by chuck norris probably) were made to induce a collaboration like this. with fuckin lou reed. he can't even speak properly. he's dying out loud on that mic and ruining lives and ears along with these insane men who seem to deliberately want to ruin themselves. it's like a bad spoof and these are all understatements.

[1saltana]

NO NO NO YOUR FUCKIN METALLICA!!

GET THE DEATH MAGNETIC SEQUEL OUT NOT THIS!!! AAHHHHHHHHHHH

[guitarbrosfromhell]

why the fuck did i youst see this ?

[TheMudniva]

Wow this is worse than the kids at the youth club... At least they have an excuse. They're not pros with at 40+ years experience. This sucks big time! But I kinda had fun!

[JumpinPakFlash]

Does anyone like the guitar part 0:09 - 0:12?

[andres20796]

Thnx god that this is not a metallica official album

[RaainNinety3]

This is very disappointing =\ ... Fuck Lou reed!!!

[catfishy08]

The old fuck can't even sing

[evander5150]

@catfishy08  :-)

[willwjarrett]

I will never understand why people get so pissed when musicians try out a new sound or style. They are artists people. Trying new things is what comes natural. Ever think maybe they get bored with headbanging all the time. If you love Ride The Lightning, then listen to it. Don't get mad because this isn't exactly the same as old Metallica, because guess what...it isn't supposed to be.

[DeterminationForever]

@willwjarrett I'm glad that they at least tried something new. But my opinion won't change; I still think that the result is a huge disappointment.

[billbenblue]

@willwjarrett And the flip side of that is this: just because something is new or novel doesn't automatically make it GOOD. I have nothing against artists wanting to do new things--hell, I was one of the few people who LIKED the Load/Reload albums--but sometimes the shit so-called artists do is just . . . HORRIBLE. This sounds like one of those lame-ass poetry readings that pop up occasionally at bars. This Lou Reed fuck is a joke, though I will say the MUSIC actually sounds pretty good

[Fuskas123]

@willwjarrett It's not about trying out something new man.Personally i think load/reload are amazing albums and enjoy them at times more than MOP. Thing is when you're as outrageously famous and rich as Metallica you'd expect some quality standard which with the case of this catastrophe is utterly mutilated.It's not that it's new that bothers me it's that it's causing my ears to bleed listening to a half-assed while grandpa simpson is rambling on about honey that caused him gas.

[KhabukiJo]

@Fuskas123

Quoted for Truth.

[1ballz08]

@willwjarrett As much as I don't care for the Metallica/ Lou Reed collaboration, I have to agree with you, Will. Well said. Thumbz up. :)

[NightmareGanon]

@willwjarrett I didn't dislike Lulu because it was different. I disliked it because it was REALLY bad.

This one song is kinda decent hard rock, but most of the album... well, at least it wasn't Illud Divinum Insanus.

[thissmoothie]

@willwjarrett Nobody has an issue with them changing their sound. They have an issue with their new sound being extremely shitty.

[4headsharkyBL]

@willwjarrett Well, It's not like they ventured into another genre (like funk or reggae), they just got a different singer and carried on playing the same kind of music.

[chivasteele]

it is an odd combo but you should bear in mind that Reed is a very experimental artist and very anti-commercial. The fact that it is not the usual Metallica sound does not make it bad. It means they have the courage to do something different.

[Jedibob5]

This is Lou Reed's fault. Not Metallica's. I hope Metallica learns from their mistake of working with him, though...

[SOHO666]

THIS MAKES ME SAD

[dsmoreira2010]

water and oil

[outlawtorn344]

What you gonna do burn your Metallica collection in public and cry about its not what you want like in 96 when they cut their hair and did something different if you don't like it don't listen to it or buy it pure and simple

[LetThereBeRock31]

i decided to watch this again hoping to change my mind a little bit. didn't work. i was ready to be totally pissed all over again at the end and then 4:36 kinda ruined it for me. the music isn't bad though. it's just not metallica.

[sejnitram]

Wished I'd never seen this. It won't happen again. God, what the fuck happened to my band Metallica?!

[IndianaJoel93]

The parts where Lou Reed isn't singing are pretty good!

[Angelos668]

@IndianaJoel93 there are no parts that lou reed actually sings...

[filipposg7]

retards.... when lou reed used to rock n roll metallica were 18 yrs old with posters of velvet underground in their bedroom..

[Pizzalord91]

wrong title ! thats NOT metallica ...

[BenEd2]

I've seen roadkill more lively than Lou Reed.

[HectorOnDrums]

Sometimes I dream of Metallica stopping music in 1991

[Suicidalfamily]

great track, i Love LuLu, there's nothing wrong with that.

[icecreamscuseme]

It's like Metallica are trying to ignore Lou Reed being there.

[RockBottomRiser21]

4:35 James' trololo face.

[nattramn]

Whoever thought this combo was a good idea should be shot.

[mirrormist2007]

I love it. Classic it will be

[IndianaJoel93]

Look how lively and badass James Hetfield looks in this video, and then look at Lou Reed...

[jort996]

:(

[AlesZvolanek]

R.I.P. Lou

[X01xol]

LMFAO they sound drunk as hell XD

[LordKevin92]

i prefer james hetfield being the vocalist.. who the FUCK is that old bitch ¬¬

[ryan25n]

@LordKevin92 the man is called lou reed he was in one of the most seminal bands of the 20th century velvet underground.

[LordKevin92]

@ryan25n sings awful... this is epic failure... well i guess not everything can be a success :/

[ryan25n]

@LordKevin92 True but the man is getting old now check out the velvet underground really great stuff. There are alot of stupid metal head kids just rip on him. I love metallica pantera etc but i listen to all kinds of music life is too short

[Deadmaninc79]

1:05 lol the guy in the background xD

[PrincessRachel911]

I like it, it's my 2nd fave song on the album :)

[DZabuzarD]

hahahahaha

[TheSterlingSound]

Great that they tried something new, that's the spirit of rock 'n roll

[ppetal1]

Lou sounds good and expressive, as ever. His band are ok. Bit polished. Who are they?

[49135]

Lou reed sounds like a drunk guy. This album is a big joke that shows that the 2 artists don't give a fuck about their fans

[EnaGreenDay21]

Fuckin' awesome album and fuck you all bitches <3

[AvengedRuleTheWorld]

I've always defended Metallica from all the haters, but now they've just gone and ruined themselves. This is fucking awful! There's 'experimenting' and then there's getting sloppy. This is a pile of shit compared to something like Ride The Lightning or Master of Puppets.

[Averyk120]

lou reed is so out of place in this song

[IndianaJoel93]

The contrast between Lou Reed's vocals, and James' proper singing, wow, James has always been a pretty good singer, but Lou Reed makes him sound like Paverotti.

[MrScarekid]

Yawn. Then battery

[leehoward95]

Did they pull Lou out of the Retirement home to do this?

[dimaensionx]

I don't think the performance sucks. The song is repetitive and boring after a while, but as a live performance, it is far better than just listening to the album.

[thomaslawton1]

I think this is what they are trying to do..i think this is the best piece of shit ive heard in at least 20 years....i hate you if you dont like this i bet you have blond hair or hangover piss as a face,,go fuck yer sell nugget ...THIS IS METTALICA SWEET DREAMS PUSSY.

[MidgarsMako]

Unique! more like shit!

[sameem13]

An aged Jason Newsted from the future, travels back to our present day to get back at Metallica!

[Pluh88]

thats the deadest crowd i have ever seen

[CaptainMrAndy]

what the fuck happend`?

[Gaputto]

tell that man to shut up! i'm enjoying the music. pleeeeaaassseee! :(

[Gaputto]

james is really cool! :)

[MrMetalcoreAaddict]

ok, i know that some people doesn't like new Metallica sound, but who are you to judge Metallica, they just want to experiment... and this experiment with Lou Reed is awesome...

Metallica 4life!

[Eufrozina85]

I like how the audience stands still and quiet. As if they were at a symphonic concert listening to Mozart. Instead of rockin' around they are just staring and thinking: "WTF?!"

[SuperDukuman]

Lou reed has pissed me off Metallica are my inspiration and always will be there the reason I play, but Lou reed has anally fucked them rrrrrrrrrrrr but METALLICA I STIILL LOVE U

[miguegomez83]

I'm seeing the scene:

Ulrich: "Well, this doesn't sound good... isn't it? Maybe if we try to coordinate the lyrics with the music...

Hetfield: But HE is Lou Reed... what can we do?

In the other corner, Lou Reed's thinking "how can i tell those kids that this sounds like shit. They're so excited and i don't wanna disappoint them"

[TimeCelt]

@miguegomez83 hahahahaha! That's probably dead on, man.

[hallloweenhorror]

I love the guitar riff in this song

[nikenocturno]

pura mierda.........donde vergas quedo el metal de metallica

[Maor255]

Lars Ulrich is so funny !

[luigibattista10]

this is shit

[wilshirejkk]

Talking isn't singing!

[HAUDEGENRUHRPOTT]

It was soooo baaad >.< The best is..and was Metallica <3

[MRxACL]

James looks so fucking bored. hahaha

[metalmario128]

@MRxACL

lou reed could bore anyone

[faintingdragon]

If it was James doing lead vocals and Lou doing back up this would be amazing.

[CopycatAoW]

It would be alright if Lou Reed would shut up.

[KLMETALLICHICKS]

Not even a metallica album, their album comes out next year.

[EX3cuteur]

grand pa' newsted  ! :O

[thales113853]

low reed is dead ! --'

[RedJoe10]

I was gonna download this one but the original is much slower. Dang.

[RollingToad]

Thats it guys, do more covers, cos you can't write songs anymore! james, go back on the drink! :)

[Iainb92]

@PhillBlackwell I agree with you. Thing is, while I love the MAN and the music for which he is best known, I'm just talking about the current music, sometimes I think the two should be more separate. I'll take a good tune over this any day and if I feel like reading poetry then I'll gladly read his lyrics, just without the heavy metal.

[bitchoflivingblah]

The original 'Rock & Roll Animal'!

Rock on Lou Reed.

(Look up the album you doubters, failers, and ignoramous')

[DEEVIOUS1S]

@bitchoflivingblah No one cares about what he did in the past. This particular performance is atrocious.

[RatedRBrendon]

I played this song while I was eating my honey sandwich. The honey on the sandwich became iced!!!

[12JimmySmith]

You don't realise just how good a singer James Hetfield is, until you put him next to Lou Reed...

[MidniteHaze1]

I want to throw lou reed in a jar..

[ComesToLife]

This is a fucking joke.

Metallica was power, now is the bottom - thanks lou reed...

[ewindsor10]

Whenever I feel down and need a good laugh I turn this song on.

[DrewBludd]

Well... I don't love it. It's kind of cool that it happened. But nothing really jumps out at me.

[ifutureman]

I gotta admit, this song's kinda catchy. It's a real shame Lou can't sing a note, because they get a nice groove going.

[1997ReLoad]

Iced Honey is my fav song off Lulu and Dragon, Junior Dad are my only other ones i like the rest are.....

[Headbanger0624]

They really enjoy playing those songs from "LuLu" and that's the only thing that matters ;)

[Radz117]

Fame and fortune got to Metallica's head's. This is nothing more than an abuse of power.

[panteradime5150]

Unnreal smh

[mperrotti76]

Also, are Lou and Metallica playing 2 different songs?

[mperrotti76]

Also, of course James is like "Oh, Lou is the granddaddy of punk. So, I'm gonna wear a bro-hawk."

[mperrotti76]

I love Lou, but this is utter shit!

[jingsken]

Wow nice , love it

[BlackCountryYamYam]

Great song... If only someone else was singing

[thatfeltwet]

i played this song to my gerbil. it ran up my butt!

[schnarfel]

it's the same riff over and over again, ya?

[Iainb92]

I'm a big Lou Reed fan but this sounds like an old homeless man has stumbled his way on stage and is drunkenly ranting to one bar of music for four minutes. I'm just gonna go cry into my Transformer album :(

[PhillBlackwell]

@Iainb92 The thing is, most drunken, ranting, homeless old men have a story, a journey of interest, unlike those locked in a bedroom for 20 hrs a day doing SFA with their lives, or pretending that they're somebody cuz they have a webcam show or whatever.I'm not a devotee of Lou, by the way.I just have a lot of respect for him, what he went through as a youth, and how he became the man he is. Face it, it's 1000000% better than the auto-tuned factory puppets that adorn the charts now. :-)

[PhillBlackwell]

First, if you don't know who Lou Reed is, then you have no right to judge any music at all...you are obviously single cell life forms with no artistic atoms in you....Second, Metallica look up to the guy...if you were inspired by your heroes and had a chance to work with them, you'd jump at it... Third, Reed may be 69, but he's lived more in any single year of his life than any of you sad twats will in your whole time here on Earth. Fourth, Lou and Metallica don't give a fuck what you think....

[c0p13dn4m3]

@PhillBlackwell Of course they don't, they've proven it numerous times. But in the end, we are the people who keep stuffing their wallets.

[PhillBlackwell]

@c0p13dn4m3 Surely, therefore, we are the ones who should take the blame for ANY music that makes it into the charts, etc.... If this song or album turns people away from the artists, then they won't buy the tracks.....Music is on offer to the public....you can make your choice, whether to go with factory pop or something a little different, or not buy at all.... We, the public, only stuff their wallets when they please us....That's why it's called an entertainment business. :-)

[c0p13dn4m3]

@PhillBlackwell Thanks for reminding.

[organaphus]

@PhillBlackwell Well said!

[darkwiz643]

@PhillBlackwell Calm down little guy. No need to get so worked up. I'm sorry that you can't handle the truth. This is bad. If people don't know who Lou Reed is, they should keep it that way. Now how about I go run to the market and get you some ice cream to cheer you up?

[TheBrianWaymire]

@darkwiz643 this comment was funny! Im laughing with you btw! I like this song but damn......lou reed enough said

[darkwiz643]

@TheBrianWaymire Haha thanks bro. You want some ice cream? I'm running to the market.

[SP1D3RMAN75]

Can Lou even sing or does he just talk through out all of his songs

[TheGuitarManUK]

I dont get all the hate, I think it is pretty good!

[metallica2rule]

you people really where just expecting kill em' all ?? music has changed ! why cant anyone just appreciate any fucking thing anymore ...

[TheLaranjalaranja]

Adorei!Acho que já escutei essa músicas umas 50 vezes.

[ledzep147]

That is some of the worst shit I've ever heard in my life. Awful.

[diskochimp]

Not bad at all. This live version is 100 times better than the one of the LP...

[Acorporate3world]

@diskochimp agreeed!

[freexfalling1]

lou reed has lost it :( this is just sad to watch...

[TheAjoqut]

Okey nest thing Metallica conna play with George Bush and name album as *WarLords*

[TheNiceBruno]

amazing!!!

[TheMalakopituras]

metallica wasted its perfect music to make this crap....it's sad but true...

[rourke69]

this is fucking crap...who is responsible for this shit!!!



[totolotek1000]

omg ;(

[abzemer]

cant trap a butterfly in a jar???????? LMFAO!!!

[Lucifer1332]

cliff would be proud......... -.-

[1226roby]

only fags listen to metallica

[Quinqui31]

look at lars face at 0:56 to 0:58 he's like: "arrrrgggghhhh this is what I always wanted to do arrrghhhh I'm da best bitch aarrrrghhhh" ¬¬

[Quinqui31]

RIP METALLICA!

[mahatera]

yes every next one is promising for past 15 years

[mahatera]

no good for their cv anyway, they should have done that during reload period and have it out of the way....

[TheClairvoyant502]

:trollface: 

[theblackendone]

as far as the instrumental part of the album goes Metallica did awesome, thier next album looks promising
