Lou Reed says he wants to make a second album with Metallica

Despite receiving death threats from their fans, Lou Reed wants to make another album with Metallica. Bafflement have may greeted Lulu, released this week, but Reed seems undeterred in his pursuit of a project he once described as "the best the best thing I ever did," reamrking: "I'm essentially in this for the fun of it." "[Metallica fans] are threatening to shoot me, and that's only because I showed up," Reed recently admitted to USA Today . "They haven't even heard the record yet, and they're recommending various forms of torture and death." As for his own fans – they apparently don't exist. "I don't have any fans left," said Reed. "After Metal Machine Music , they all fled. Who cares?" Reed still thinks Lulu is the best album he has ever done, comparing it to his other favourite, 2003's The Raven. And Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich has referred to the Metallica-Reed collaboration as "a new collective", raising the prospect of further collaboration. "They are my metal blood brothers," Reed claimed. "No one wants Lulu Part 2, but on Radio Lou, in my head where I hear these songs, I want more of it."
