Секретный студийный проект больше не секерет
Итак, проект, о котором пару месяцев назад заикнулся Кирк, сказав, что это "не особо-то на 100% альбом Металлики", теперь официально объявлен. Несколько последних месяцев группа провела в своей студии в HQ, работая над новым альбомом ни с кем иным, как с Лу Ридом. Вместе было записано 10 песен. О планах по выпуску альбома пока ничего не сообщается.
A few months ago our own Kirk Hammett hinted at a new Metallica project that's "not really 100 percent a Metallica record." While Kirk may have jumped the gun a little (and has since been properly punished with a series of push-ups!), we are more than proud to announce that we have just completed recording a full length album that is a collaboration with none other than the legendary Lou Reed.
Ever since we had the pleasure of performing with Lou at the 25th Anniversary of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at Madison Square Garden in October of 2009, we have been kicking around the idea of making a record together. Some of you astute Bay Area residents may have picked up news of recent Lou Reed sightings in the greater San Francisco area and we have indeed been working at our home studio at HQ on and off over the last few months. In what would be lightning speed for a Metallica related project, we recorded ten songs during this time and while at this moment we're not exactly sure when you'll hear it, we're beyond excited to share with you that the recording sessions wrapped up last week.
A true innovator and easily one of the most influential songwriters, musicians, and performers in rock music history, Lou's work with the Velvet Underground and as a solo artist has such an enduring quality that he has long been revered and respected by us and many of our peers. We can't wait for you to listen to the finished record, so as we like to hear ourselves say around here, keep watching this spot for updates . . . we'll be back with more details as they come together.

Re: Секретный студийный проект больше не секерет
It was an improbable match: Lou Reed's cutting-monotone voice and explicit stories of desire and despair, lashed to Metallica's apocalyptic charge. It is now a perfect fit. In a recent rapid series of sessions at Metallica's studio north of San Francisco, the New York king of avant-rock and the world's bestselling thrash-metal band have recorded a new studio album together that is unlike any either artist has made before. The record, not yet titled, features 10 songs composed by Reed with significant arrangement contributions by the band that suggest a raging union of his 1973 noir classic, Berlin, and Metallica's '86 crusher, Master of Puppets.
"A marriage made in heaven," Reed says in his first interview about the project, in the studio lounge during a break. "I knew it from the first day we played together: 'Oh, man, this is perfection, right in front of me.'
"I don't think we've ever felt this free," Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich says, sitting next to Reed on a couch. "There's nothing that's totally outside of the boundary for us, nothing that feels like 'Oh, what happens if we go there?' The strength of us" – he gestures at Reed – "is it feels like we cannot land on a wrong place."
"They're bringing Metallica, with all that power," Reed confirms. "And because they're pretty sophisticated, wherever I go, they're still with me."
Reed and Metallica first played together in October 2009, at the 25th Anniversary Rock and Roll Hall of Fame concerts in New York. Ulrich, singer-guitarist James Hetfield, guitarist Kirk Hammett and bassist Robert Trujillo backed Reed on two of his classic songs. "We knew from then," Reed says, "that we were made for each other." He and the band first planned to cut an album of his older material, "fallen jewels that no one remembered," as Reed puts it. That changed a week before Reed showed up at Metallica's studio. He called the band, proposing a record of songs he'd written for Lulu, a theatrical production of stories by the German author Frank Wedekind, directed by Robert Wilson and currently running in Berlin.
"Lars and I listened to the stuff," Hetfield says of Reed's demos, "and it was like, 'Wow, this is very different.' It was scary at first, because the music was so open. But then I thought, 'This could go anywhere.' " Metallica started writing parts built from vocal rhythms and electronic patterns on the demos.
The result is at once unpredictable and viciously tight. "Pumping Blood" opens with a drone that breaks into a crunching march, goes into speed-metal gear and breaks into free-fall sections – all over seven minutes, cut live in one take. Another track, "Mistress Dread," features Reed singing across a relentless staccato riff played at manic velocity. "It doesn't feel like we're his backup band," Hammett claims. "It feels like we're a different band, in a situation we've never been in before." And, Trujillo notes, "it's making us a better band."
Ulrich says the album is "90 percent" finished. But there are no release plans yet. Reed does not have a record deal, and Metallica are no longer on Warner Bros. "We are free to go wherever," Ulrich says. "I'm obviously psyched for people to hear this, in whatever way we feel is right."
Hetfield has one condition. "I told Lou I want to be there when people hear it," he says, grinning. "I want to see their faces."

Re: Секретный студийный проект больше не секерет
Отличная новость! Прям то что надо. Интересует только, будет ли там только Лурид петь, а группа аккомпанировать, или хэтфилд тожэ будет петь? Если второе, то вообще шикарно!
Re: Секретный студийный проект больше не секерет
Да, этот момент меня также интересует. Посмотрим.stepan_maksimov писал(а):Отличная новость! Прям то что надо. Интересует только, будет ли там только Лурид петь, а группа аккомпанировать, или хэтфилд тожэ будет петь? Если второе, то вообще шикарно!
Re: Секретный студийный проект больше не секерет
Аццофства.
Чувствую, поносить его будут больше, чем Ловад в 96-м. Лу — очень интересный чувак, но весьма специфичный.
Адава жду релиза

Re: Секретный студийный проект больше не секерет
Очень интересно.
Спектакль идет с апреля (http://www.loureed.com/news/lulu-opens-in-berlin/), но на тытрубке только пару роликов про него, жаль.
Чуть-чуть напрягает, что это новые песни Рида. Скептически отношусь к тому, что былые монстры могут и сейчас сочинить что-нибудь офигенное.

Re: Секретный студийный проект больше не секерет
А зря. Вот примеры некоторых "монстров", которые в преклонных годах создали свои лучшие пластинки:tanches писал(а): Скептически отношусь к тому, что былые монстры могут и сейчас сочинить что-нибудь офигенное.
Том Вэйтс
Игги Поп
Дэвид Боуи
Джонни Кэш
Роберт Плант
Моррисси
и так далее и тому подобное. Лу Рид - один из таких как раз. Это порода артистов, которые полностью раскрываются ближе к сарости. Зрелые и мудрые, мужики - одним словом.

Re: Секретный студийный проект больше не секерет
stepan_maksimov можно поспорить,хотя на любителя.Из всего твоего списка только Том в последние годы выпускал што-то приличное.Остальные,уж уволь полную хрень записывали,на крайняк дуэты каверов как Плант.
Мне интересно почему Лу Рид?Не вижу точек соприкосновения,лучше уж бы с Уэйтсом забацали бы што-нить аля Ловад.

Re: Секретный студийный проект больше не секерет
Интересный проект, даже и не знаешь чего ждать. Наверное чего-то более Лоадовского, что мне вполне по нраву

Re: Секретный студийный проект больше не секерет
Паручик, ну если считать "американскую" серию альбомов Джонни Кэша "полной хренью", то... думаю, с тобой вообще больше говорить не о чем, причем пожизненно.
Re: Секретный студийный проект больше не секерет
stepan_maksimov,я и не заставляю Хотя со мной можно поговорить много о чем кроме Кэша.

Даааааааа!!! Это уж точно. Было бы наверняка что-то очень интересное. Тем более, что на "Гараж" не получилось Джеймсу его песню взять, а ведь он хотел...паручик писал(а):лучше уж бы с Уэйтсом забацали бы што-нить аля Ловад.
(Спасибо еще раз Степану Максимову за такое открытие для меня в свое время как Том Уэйтс!)
Re: Секретный студийный проект больше не секерет

Re: Секретный студийный проект больше не секерет
Думаю, что сегодня гораздо меньше людей (по сравнению с 1996), которые ждут чего-то от металлики, соответственно больше % людей которым пофигу. Так что поносить хоть и будут но не так что бы слишком.Beerman писал(а):Чувствую, поносить его будут больше, чем Ловад в 96-м.
