Trujillo on Metallica’s ‘Through the Never:’ ‘It Can’t Be Any Worse Than ‘Lulu”

In a new excess of honesty, Robert Trujillo spoke his mind about the upcoming Metallica concert movie, “Through the Never” – which will hit the cinemas on October 8. According to the bassist, he hopes that the film, which has some huge shoes to fill (following Pink Floyd’s – The Wall and Led Zeppelin’s – Song Remains the Same), will receive better reviews than Metallica’s recent work with Lou Reed. He seems really optimistic about…

Metallica surprise play at Orion fest under fake name, perform entire ‘Kill’em all’ album [entire concert]

The first day of this year’s Orion festival kicked up quite in style – event hosts Metallica took everyone by surprise by taking the stage under fake name Dehaan and charging through their entire debut album “Kill ‘Em All.” Around 4:30 p.m, when you usually just wake up from yesterday’s party, frontman James Hetfield first introduced “the total mystery band no one knows anything about.” They then came and tore it up! I mean old…

Robert Trujillo: ‘Next Album is Going to be an Extension of ‘Death Magnetic”

Well, we’ve talked a lot about Metallica… one could argue that we’ve talked a little too much about them, but call me a hopeless romantic – I’m still hoping for a good Metallica album. Odds are, not going to happen. Taking the time to discuss the new album (after admitting that the last one sucked), Trujillo couldn’t hide his excitement over what he described as “an extension” of the group’s previous release “Death Magnetic.” “The…

Rob Trujillo: ‘[some] Fans Thought Lulu Was Crap’

Who here has heard ‘Lulu’? Ok, now out of you, who thought it was crap? Lots of people, apparently. Lulu was probably the most controversial album Metallica wrote (to put it lightly) – working with Lou Reed and doing this kind of music just… it didn’t sound bad but… it didn’t sound that good either. Speaking to the Detroit Free Press, bassist Rob Trujillo has conceded (via Metal Hammer) that it wasn’t exactly what fans…

When ‘The Wall’ meets Metallica

Quickie review: Lou Reed and Metallica, “Lulu”

The Halloween release date is appropriate: Here, the ‘Frisco boys are pretending to be a metal-ized Velvet Underground.  Having tried everything across this record to filter “Heroin” through their ’80s thrash, their ’90s blues-based hard rock and their 2000’s attempt at a return-to-form, they clearly want to be the ’60s legends so, so badly.  But guess what?  Getting Reed to sing on your record doesn’t make your band VU mk. II. But that doesn’t stop…

So the Lou Reed+Metallica (or “Loutallica”) album can be streamed in full

The Lou Reed / Metallica album, Lulu, can be heard in full over at the album’s official site. It’s, uh, as plodding as the cover art is confusing – which is to say, quite a lot. Think Velvet Underground + Load/ReLoad and you’re pretty close. Any by Load/ReLoad, I mean the overlong, do-nothing riffs of “Outlaw Torn” and “Fixxxer.” Kirk has said that this is “one of the best things we’ve ever done.” Gonna have…
