Details Emerge on the Lou Reed/Metallica Album
http://pitchfork.com/news/42894-deta...tallica-album/

Reed wrote the songs for the album, with Metallica making what Fricke calls "significant arrangement contributions." Metallica drummer Lars Urich claims that the record is "90% finished" and that they have no plans for release at the moment, especially since neither Reed nor Metallica have record deals right now.

Apparently, Metallica and Reed had originally planned to record an album of covers of lesser-known Reed songs. But Reed brought a different idea to them: An album of songs that he wrote for the play Lulu, an adaptation of stories from the German author Frank Wedekind that's currently running in Berlin.
