Creamtastic / Moving Pictures Some Kind of Tribute: Metallica Backs Lou Reed

Posted by on Mon, Dec 14, 2009 at 3:08 PM

I have no idea why, but if history is any indicator, the folks over at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame really have it in for Lou Reed and The Velvet Underground. First, the Hall drags their feet and neglects to induct the Velvets until four years after becoming eligible. Then, at their 25th Anniversary Concert last month, they rope Reed into honoring the VU legacy by giving him Metallica as a backing band for performances of "Sweet Jane" and "White Light/ White Heat." I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Discuss.
