OFFICIAL "LULU" BY LOU REED & METALLICA SONG TITLES POLL! (IMPORTANT)

i'm really torn

still processing some of the newer ones like "dragon" and "iced honey"

i feel like "little dog" has really been there for me through the last month or so, but i dunno, "junior dad" is amazing too...

"cheat on me" seems like the weak link, if you could say there is a weak link to this album, which you CAN'T

10 all the way, gonna be "Beginning of a Great Adventure '11"

jsut realized -- is Lulu a prequel to Berlin?!

it's a prequel to everything man

Can't get past "Mistress Dread" tbh.

will The View be about The View?

"Pumping Blood" makes me want to hear the album.

better be some serious shredding on "Dragon"

"Nothing is inconceivable" goes well for the naysayers who denied Metallica and Lou would team up.

voted 4 frustration, tho junior dad is a good choice too!

"This," concludes Lou, "is the best thing I ever did. And I did it with the best group I could possibly find on the planet. By definition, everybody involved was honest. This has come into the world pure. We pushed as far as we possibly could within the realms of reality."

^^i know we've already spent 30 posts on the other thread discussing that quote but i just cant get enough of it.

impossible poll

let your voice be heard

LITTLE DOG

Is iced honey a food? It sounded tasty so I voted for it, but I feel like these three

3. Pumping Blood
4. Mistress Dread
5. Iced Honey

are all great.

Looking forward to "Momo", the Maureen Tucker/Metallica collaboration

Guessing each one of these has great GIS results.

Also, you can scramble the words: "Mistress Honey", "Iced Blood", "Pumping Mistress"...it's fun!

Brandenburg Dragon

Little Doggy, Pumping Dragon

Pumping Junior; The Dad

wait, this is a real album?

^^post that had to be made

dogg it's way more than real

no other albums were real until now.

i... i thought it was all some running joke... what on earth...

xpost

well they were real, in the context of the planetary system that they were released in at the time. said releases being prior to the creation of the new lou reed/metallica planetary system in which we now reside

This has come into the world pure. We pushed as far as we possibly could within the realms of reality.

the blues had a baby and they named it Lulu

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. Metallica and Lou Reed playing "Junior Dad" for twenty minutes.

^^^winner

This has come into the world pure. We pushed as far as we possibly could within the realms of reality.
how rad would it be if these were the opening lines of the album. please, lou, please.

kinda bummed they're staying within the realms of reality

still, i'll give it a listen

LOL i dont actually hate the cover

yeah I think it's pretty good actually

Is it just me or...?

WS?

resemblance!

Think this Lulu stuff is starting to get to me, roll on November :-/

Lotta negatively-connotative words up there - dread, cheat, frustration - that wouldn't seem out-of-place on any previous Lou or Metallica opus. "Dragon" is the only one that doesn't call to mind any song title of theirs that I can think of offhand.

got to vote for "junior dad" because it's obviously a scratch title for their junior boys/gay dad-inspired song that they never improved on

I knew it. All along, Lars Ulrich was the drummer for Gay Dad.

Wonder how the results of the song titles poll will jibe with a poll of the actual songs once we've heard them

damn Ned beat me to a "drummer for Junior Dad joke"

Gay Dad, the greatest disappointment.

Can this be the next ILX "pre-covered" album? Please?

haha i'm into it

i was wondering how that hadn't been suggested earlier

one requirement should be that the fake songs have the same running time as the real songs

OTM^^

Blimey

Bleedin' nora!

I was going to bagsy "Cheat on me" but.. Eleven minutes?

.....

.. yeah, I could do that..

Something like Junior Dad needs someone to mix individual sounds from ILX contributors to make a whole 19 mins.

I have no idea if that's possible, but.

No pressure, but that's apparently the song that made Metallica cry.

Maybe 20 minutes of taunting the weakest member?

Who is the weakest Metallicer btw?

Metallica are always fucking crying, bet you Sterling Morrison never did!

... well not over some song Lou'd just written

Did I ever tell yer what happened when I met Sterl?

(knowing full well I have..)

Did you cry? You haven't told us... well you haven't told me... I've heard about Marc Bolan and the England cricket team

be right back...

What's the matter with you, eh? Gotten no respect?
What do you think you can do, when you're looking so sad?
C'mon junior dad, cos it's not so bad
Ahh shaddup you face

Nope, I can't find it...

OK, here goes..

Basically, Moe Tucker was touring the UK with her band, I'd seen them the year before in London, but now she's playing my home town with Sterling in the band.

So, after the gig, they are all hanging out, I have a chat with Moe, she's very nice and I mention that they didn't play "Guess I'm falling in love". "Well, we can't play every song every night", she starts, then thinks and says to the band "actually, we haven't played that one for a long time!" like they're gonna fix that one for next time. Funnily enough, next time I saw them they were in the reunited VU, and it was the one song Lou wasn't giving his "oh I have sung this so many times over the years" default performance.

Anyway, back at the aftergig chat, Sterling happens along, they both signed my gig ticket and Sterl starts telling some tales. I mention something, at which point Sterl just stares at me. A 2 second silence, then he carries on.

For years, I thought him a stroppy geezer or wot, but then someone (on here, or maybe some other place I related this story) mentions about how he was a lecturer in English, etc. At which point I realised: Of course, disruptive student! Stare at person until they shut up, then carry on with the lecture.

Always struck me as a no-nonsense sorta dude. Wish I'd met him, 2 second stare or not.

But, yes, "Whassa matter Mark, eh? Gotta no respect?"

Well, even when I thought him a 'strophead', I thought "Hey, he was in a band with Lou Reed, of course he's gonna be."

Damn, wish I'd waited for those timings before voting for "Dragon"!

"Junior Dad" - 19 minutes of Metallica Machine Music! (I hope I hope...)

there will be a poll of best LULU song lengths coming soon, have no fear

Who is the weakest Metallicer btw?

Got to be Kirk Hammett surely?

Meantime, helping things along:

ILX pre-covers LULU -- the Lou Reed/Metallica album

Sterl starts telling some tales. I mention something, at which point Sterl just stares at me. A 2 second silence, then he carries on.

I should clarify, that the tales were being told to a group of us, about 6 people or so. He didn't stare me out during a one-to-one chat.

(The chat with Moe was a 121 at that point)...

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

I figured junior dad was the front runner
