Melvins has made a profession of doing regardless of the hell they need musically. So it is no shock that Melvins frontman Buzz Osborne is a fan of Metallica‘s much-maligned 2011 collaboration with Lou Reed, Lulu.
In an interview with New Noise Magazine, Osborne mentioned why he thinks Lulu is one of the best Metallica album and why it ought to’ve been a rallying cry for extra bands to do no matter they need.
“These guys obtained taken to process for it, and I feel it is their greatest document, simply the weirdest one,” mentioned Osborne. “Metallica ought to be main the best way. They need to be planting the flag in their very own spot and making individuals rally round that.
“Do not let individuals inform you what to do. That is a horrible thought. It would not work as a result of then you definitely’re assuming that you recognize what they need. There isn’t any manner you may know that. All you are able to do is make music that you just like, and so they clearly favored that factor with Lou Reed, and so they’re at some extent now of their profession that they may do no matter they need. They’re taking part in stadiums. What is going on to occur? They’re gonna go all the way down to 10,000 seaters? I feel they’d be OK.”
Is Lulu actually one of the best Metallica document? I suppose it is technically up for debate, however personally I might give it a tough “no.” On the flip facet of that, I can see what Osborne is speaking about, by way of Lulu being a rallying cry for artists to possibly get a bit bizarre with issues. If Metallica may danger their legacy on one thing they wished to do, you may too!
Besides not like Metallica, sinking your band is perhaps the distinction between persevering with on and breaking on. At this level Metallica is everlasting, no matter what their recorded output as seemed like. Dudes have not needed to do something since The Black Album.
