Make no mistake about it, every single one of those audience members are grateful to God they were there in person to witness these two musical entities making undeniable history. Thank you so much for sharing this performance with us.

I know this is not a popular opinion but even if this doesn't approach Metallica's best work on their home turf, this was a very important work for Lou Reed, and I'd venture to say that Lou tried to achieve this heaviness at other times in his career. This is not a Lou Reed troll move. The lyrics prove this was not a joke to him. And Metallica absolutely understood they were trying to help him encapsulate a lifetime of art. I love them for that. Thank you Metallica and Lou

I heard Lou was not happy about the initial response after it was released, but I think this song is awesome. The music & lyrics hit deep.

You can feel Metallica plays with their heart in this song! \m/

I can say many things about the album Lulu. Many. But this song is a masterpiece. This is what makes Metallica what they are. They really do things that others bands would be scared of doing. Even for this song only the album was 1000% worth. It is Lou´s swan song and the combination is just perfect. Love Rob´s work in this, like an angel playing.

This piece of art right here makes me feel at peace, but emotional at the same time. Lulu wasn’t as bad as people put it, that may be an unpopular opinion but I don’t care. RIP Lou Reed.

@@dominikcygan2664I cant think of anyone else deliver these vocals. Its because its lou reed that gives it its extra depth and meaning. No one has ever claimed that lou reed has a pretty voice, and especially in his later years. But this is a Lou reed album, not a metallica album and if you have never listened to Lou Reed, like most metallica fans, I understand its not an easy thing to digest.

James Hetfield's father abandoned him when he was 13. That was tragic and painful I would imagine. Having a father who never abandoned you physically just emotionally, and constantly verbally abused you and at times physically abused you I think is just as bad. I'm 50 years old, and my mom died, and my dad can't live by himself with Parkinson's Disease. He still ridicules everything I do, and tells me the things I do with positive intentions are stupid. The big difference between taking his verbal abuse as a kid and taking it now is I realize that he is an ignorant bitter old man, and I don't give a #$%& what he thinks anymore. I promised my mother I would look after him before she died from Dementia November 2016.

This is my first time posting on a KZread post. Been in the COVID shut down for a month and a half, binge listening to a lot of music. The past 4 days have been a Metallica fest. I didn't even realize Lulu until today. Gave it a go this morning, wasn't overly impressed. Read the mixed reviews after skimming through the album. I decided to listen to the entire album...alone. This isn't filler, it really does need to be listened to with intent. David Bowie was right, it is a brilliant album. Having my own shit with (out) my dad, found myself with red swollen eyes by the end of it.

You may say anything about Metallica's music. I do like them until 2001 when they recorded "I disappear", I think it's a fucking nice song. I don't like St. Anger album and Death Magnetic is indifferent in my opinion. I dig some Lulu songs, not all. The thing is: Metallica has played with all of their idols and they have been very thankful for that. In anyone's successful career there must not be anything more grateful than playing with your idols on the same stage.
