Listen: Lou Reed and Metallica
A 30 second taster is available now.
Our chance to hear the full results of an unlikely collaboration between trash metal legends Metallica and former Velvet Underground icon Lou Reed is fast approaching - their album Lulu is set for release on November 1. Before that, we get first single, 'The View', out one week prior.
A 30 second clip of said single has just been unveiled, and you can check it out below. It features the characteristic low-end crunch of Metallica's guitars with Lou Reed sing-speaking in suitably sleazy fashion before James Hetfield starts sing-shouting at the fade.
More or less what you'd expect, then. 'The View' is available digitally from September 27.
