METALLICA's LARS ULRICH Says 'Lulu' Album Has 'Aged Extremely Well', Blames 'Ignorance' For Scathing Reaction From Fans

METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich has once again defended "Lulu", the band's controversial collaborative disc with Lou Reed, saying it has "aged extremely well".

"Lulu" polarized fans around the world and earned METALLICA some of the most scathing reviews of its career. The effort featured the late THE VELVET UNDERGROUND frontman's spoken-word poetry and lyrics combined with METALLICA's musical assault for a jarring experience that didn't sound like anything METALLICA had ever attempted before.

In Reed's newly released posthumous book, "The Art Of The Straight Line: My Tai Chi", out via HarperOne, Lars said about "Lulu" (via Loudwire): "What the fuck is it about 'Lulu' that it got that kind of reaction? I can't quite figure it out, but years later, it's aged extremely well. It sounds like a motherfucker still. So I can only put the reaction down to ignorance ... It took our fans to a place I wish they would go more often. Maybe it would be a better time to release it now with what's going on outside in the world, the chaos. I don't know, but I am very proud of this record ... James [Hetfield, METALLICA frontman] and I would be figuring out ways through a piece of music and then Lou would look over and go, 'That's it. I'm not doing another fucking take of that.' That's not the way we usually worked, but it was so beautiful and great, the whole thing."

Less than three years ago, METALLICA guitarist Kirk Hammett told Marin Independent Journal that he has "always been a big supporter" of "Lulu", "even when all my friends are shaking their heads and looking at me going, 'Bro, what were you thinking?'

"It was a real accomplishment as far I was concerned," he continued. "We were there to help Lou Reed fulfill his vision, and I think we did that 100 percent. This was not a METALLICA album and it was not a Lou Reed album. It was Lou Reed and METALLICA together, doing something completely different.

"It's not for everyone. But 'Junior Dad', I think, is one of the best things we've ever been associated with, in terms of real art and literature and music coming together. That, to me, is a real accomplishment, just as much as 'Ride The Lightning' is."

Asked what it was like playing guitar with Lou, Kirk told Marin Independent Journal: "He's a really, really good rhythm guitar player. He had a good, solid rhythm pulse to his playing. He was really not into lead guitar playing, and he was really, really not into wah-wah. In fact, one time during a rehearsal, I set the wah pedal and he just walked up to the microphone and said, 'Noooooo. No guitar solos. No wah-wah.' And I was blown away. [Laughs]

"He had his musical preferences. He had his musical boundaries. And he was not shy in letting us know what those preferences and boundaries were."

In a 2012 interview with Spin, Ulrich admitted that the band was caught off guard by the vehement reaction to "Lulu", saying, "It was more spiteful than anyone was prepared for. Especially against Lou. He is such a sweet man. But when METALLICA do impulsive riffing and Lou Reed is reciting abstract poetry about German bohemians from 150 years ago, it can be difficult to embrace."

Asked whether the band had second thoughts over some of Reed's lyrics, like "I swallow your sharpest cutter / Like a colored man's dick," Ulrich said, "I understand that to some 13-year-old in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, it can all seem a little cringe-worthy, but to someone raised in an art community in Copenhagen in the late '60s, that was expected."

The collaboration between METALLICA and Reed was sparked by their performance together of Reed's "Sweet Jane" and "White Light/White Heat" at the 25th anniversary of the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame at Madison Square Garden in October of 2009.

The songs were all written by Reed with extensive arrangement contributions by METALLICA.

Only two songs on the album are under five minutes in length, while two are more than 11 minutes long and the closing cut, "Junior Dad", clocks in at 19 minutes.

Reed died in October 2013 at the age of 71, five months after he had a life-saving liver transplant, according to his wife, Laurie Anderson.

«Скандальный»? Может «обескураживающий»?

Ну да, в день выхода этот альбом показался мне куском говна, и он прошёл проверку временем - я до сих пор считаю его куском говна

Альбом не так уж и плох, но точно не "убойный".

пожаром жоп миталистов удовлетворен, Лулу- охуенный, лучшее что было у металики

Альбом заебца, несогласные нубы, офк.

Пользуясь случаем, призываю всех игнорировать (не такую уж) новую систему ответов в комментариях. Она ужасна. А админ хуй положил, как водится.

А ведь это самый провальный в коммерческом и музыкальном плане проект Металлики за всю карьеру и он по их словам выдержал проверку временем )))))) А как было бы что бы он НЕ выдержал проверку временем ? Компакт диск с этим звуковым куском дерьма свернулся бы в трубочку от стыда ?

Не слушал,но и не осуждаю.Ларс как барыга средней руки просто гениален,навярняка эта коллаборация привлекла в лагерь метлы новых поклонников.

Так-то главная проблема в том, на мой взгляд, что практически все критики делают сразу принципиальную ошибку, рассматривая Lulu как альбом Металлики. А в реале Металлика имеет к нему весьма вторичное и косвенное отношение. Это на 99,9999....% альбом Лу Рида, и относиться к нему нужно именно с этой позиции. Хэт, Ларс и Ко выступали там в качестве аккомпаниаторов, по большому счету.
А Лу Рид и его творчество - штука на любителя, причем сильно на любителя. Ну и плюс к тому же старикан не раз говорил примерно следующее - "...а мне насрать на коммерцию и продажи. Насрать на критиков, которые станут разбирать мои альбомы. И на тех, кто их будет слушать, в общем-то, тоже насрать. Я делаю это в первую очередь для себя..."

Marvin, Друг ну ты б хотя бы ознакомился по этой теме чуть чуть прежде чем писать это а то как то даже стыдно за тебя ... Лу Рид написал только тексты и сонно пробормотал их под музыку а музыку сочинили и записали Металлика на своей студии оплатили всё это и разрекламировали из своего кармана и при всём этом это * 99,9999....% альбом Лу Рида * Ага )))))))

Один Ай эм да тэйбл! чего стоит. И клип отличный. И вообще хиты сплошь. Даже вторая сторона :пека:

"""Что такого в альбоме "Lulu", что он вызвал такую реакцию? Я не могу этого понять"""
то ли дурачЕк, то ли косит под дурачка.

graillyc

да просто альбом изначально заточен под ("самих metallica" — зачеркнуто) довольно узкую пересекающуюся аудиторию фэнов Лу Рида и металлики. если тебе не нравятся проделки Лу, от текстов до манеры исполнения, либо все что сделали Хэт-Ларс сотоварищи после штангера, то понятное дело, что и Lulu не зайдет, — с чего бы вдруг?
как минимум, весьма интересные идеи там есть, на мой взгляд. бывает даже захочется переслушать отдельные композиции.

Nihel

А вот интересно. Любители металики от этого альбома поголовно воротят нос. А люди ценящие творчество Лурида как относятся к сей работе? Может мне кто нибудь подсказать.
