Metallica and Lou Reed have released a promo video for Lulu. Lots of them talking but not much of the actual album. If I was cynical I’d say that was for reasons that are obvious to anyone who has actually heard it.
Anyway… Blabbermouth.net quoted James Hetfield thusly…
“It’s definitely different. This is not the new METALLICA studio record . . . I’m sure there’s some METALLICA fans that will think that ‘This is the new METALLICA record. I don’t like it. I’m scared.’ And it’s not. This is a project that was presented to us that we wanted to challenge ourselves with. There will be fans that it will be difficult for them to understand, but we can’t stop being METALLICA, we can’t stop exploring what we wanna do as an artist. We don’t like limiting ourselves. But we’re not doing it just to mess with the fans; that’s for sure. If they don’t like it, wait until the next record where we’re fully focused on METALLICA, which we’re actually writing right now.”
Lars saw a lot of Metallica in Lou Reed, apparently… Insert own punchline…
