Hear the Lou Reed Metallica Collaboration

added 20 October 2011 at 14.29

You can listen to Lulu now...

Lulu "was inspired by German expressionist writer Frank Wededkind's plays "Earth Spirit" and "Pandora's Box," which tell a story of a young abused dancer's life and relationships."

Lou Reed had used the plays to create the music for a theatrical production in Berlin but after working with Metallica for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame concerts in 2009 the singer decided to ask the boys to join him on the project.

The ten songs were recorded in California earlier this year and you can stream them now from the official website.

Lulu is out October 31.
