Lou Reed Collaborates With Metallica

In what is sure to be one of the most talked-about mash up of the year, New York king of avant-rock Lou Reed has teamed up with best-selling hard rock band Metallica to record a brand-new album, Lulu. 

The idea for these two giants of modern music to work together was born after the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame concerts in 2009, he songs are inspired by German expressionist Frank Wedekind’s early 20th century plays Earth Spirit and Pandora’s Box, and were a rewrite of Edgar Allan Poe's, The Raven, which emerged as a graphic novel on Fantagraphics Press.

Lulu is set to be release by Vertigo Records on Monday October 31.

I thought this would be funny bad. But it's just sad bad.
