All we've really heard about the recording collaboration "LuLu" between Metallica and Lou Reed has been ...nicey, nicey, apart from the subsequent outrage at the album "LuLu" by Metallica fans.
However, Lars Ulrich has told Spin.com, that the collaboration process was not all beer and skittles. Apparently the notoriously spikey Lou Reed challenged Ulrich to a street fight after an argument relating topic that Ulrich did not reveal. He did however say this, "I had to point something out about how things were functioning in the outside world, he got hot and bothered. He challenged me to a street fight, which is a pretty daunting proposition because he’s an expert in martial arts, and is never too far from a sword." And " “The good thing about me is I can do the hundred-metre dash faster than most other 48-year-old musicians.” All's well that ends well, there is no mention of any injuries sustained by Urlich who also described Reed as a "sweet man" that did not deserve the criticism he copped for LuLu, “When Metallica do impulsive riffing and Lou Reed is reciting abstract poetry about German bohemians from 150 years ago, it can be difficult to embrace."
