In a recent questions and answers session, Metallica’s guitarist Kirk Hammett was questioned on which artist enjoyed the most to record with.
He said:
“Lou Reed [on 2011’s ‘Lulu’ album], without a doubt. That, for me, was just as special as collaborating with Jimi Hendrix or something.
“I’m a big fan of Lou Reed and to be able to actually collaborate with him was amazing.”
Back in 2013, Kirk said about “Lulu”:
“I think that ‘Lulu’ is some of the best stuff we’ve done. I mean the song ‘Junior Dad’ moves me to tears, and working with Lou Reed was such a cool, unique, and special thing for us.
“Maybe it’s not for everyone. Maybe it’s a challenge for our fans, but for us – Lars, James, Rob, and myself – we loved doing it and it was such a great experience. We look back at it very positively.”
I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago.
Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions.
After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world!
