Una dintre cele mai discutate colaborari ale acestui an este cea dintre Lou Reed si super trupa de hard rock, Metallica, pentru inregistrarea unui album nou, intitulat Lulu. Acesta se va lansa la Vertigo Records pe 31 octombrie 2011.
Albumul a fost co-produs de Reed, Metallica, Hal Willner (care a mai produs materiale pentru Reed, Marianne Faithfull si Laurie Anderson, printre altii) si Greg Fidelman. Fidelman s-a ocupat si de mixajul albumului.
Versurile pentru piesele Junior Dad si Bradnderburg Gate pot fi gasite mai jos.
"Junior Dad" lyrics:
Would you come to me
If I was half drowning
An arm above the last wave
Would you come to me
Would you pull me up
Would the effort really hurt you
Is it unfair to ask you
To help pull me up
The window broke the silence of the matches
The smoke effortlessly floating
Pull me up
Would you be my lord and savior
Pull me up by my hair
Now would you kiss me, on my lips
Burning fever burning on my forehead
The brain that once was listening now
Shoots out its tiresome message
Won't you pull me up
Scalding, my dead father
Has the motor and he's driving towards
An island of lost souls
Sunny, a monkey then to monkey
I will teach you meanness, fear and blindness
No social redeeming kindness
Or – oh, state of grace
Would you pull me up
Would you drop the mental bullet
Would you pull me by the arm up
Would you still kiss my lips
Hiccup, the dream is over
Get the coffee, turn the lights on
Say hello to junior dad
The greatest disappointment
Age withered him and changed him
Into junior dad
Psychic savagery
The greatest disappointment
The greatest disappointment
Age withered him and changed him
Into junior dad [End of lyrics]
"Brandenburg Gate" lyrics:
I would cut my legs and tits off
When I think of Boris Karloff and Kinski
In the dark of the moon
It made me dream of Nosferatu
Trapped on the isle of Doctor Moreau
Oh wouldn't it be lovely
I was thinking Peter Lorre
When things got pretty gory as I
Crossed to the Brandenburg Gate
I was feeling snappy perhaps I'd been napping
And I'd just ate
A following heart can tear you apart
On a midnight to 8 shift
A graveyard romance can only give one chance
As the tombstones weave and breathe
Feeling happy when my heart got beating
On a Sunday afternoon
I dreamt of breezes going through the treeses
And stars were still illumed
I have three hearts that I keep apart
Trying to relate
To normal feelings and the nightime reelings
And some absynthe drunk so late
The cook got drunk and all the whores they shrunk
Onto the size of dessert plates
But me I'm happy cause I got my little nappy
And some opium to set me straight
I'm just a small town girl who wants to give it a whirl
While my looks still hold me straight
Straight up to illusion and fantasy's fusion
Of reality mixed with drink
I'm just a small town girl who's gonna give life a whirl
Looking at the Brandenburg Gate [End of lyrics]
Ideea de colaborare dintre acesti doi giganti ai muzicii moderne s-a nascut la aniversarea a 25 de ani a Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame, celebrata printr-o serie de concerte sustinute la New York in octombrie, 2009. Solistul si chitaristul trupei Metallica, James Hetfield, tobosarul Lars Ulrich, chitaristul Kirk Hammett si basistul Rob Trujillo au cantat cu Reed piesele clasice semnate Velvet Undergroud, “Sweet Jane” si “White Light/White Heat”. “De atunci am stiut ca suntem facuti unul pentru celalalt”, a declarat Reed.
