David Bowie Calls Metallica & Lou Reed’s ‘Lulu’ Album a “Masterpiece”
Someone should have David Bowie's hearing checked. At Saturday night's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony, avant singer-songwriter Laurie Anderson gave an induction speech for her late husband, Lou Reed. One of the highlights came when she revealed that Bowie was a big fan of Lulu, the maligned 2011 collaboration album written and recorded by Reed and Metallica.
"One of [Lou's] last projects was his album with Metallica," said Anderson. "And this was really challenging, and I have a hard time with it. There are many struggles and so much radiance. And after Lou's death, David Bowie made a big point of saying to me, 'Listen, this is Lou's greatest work. This is his masterpiece. Just wait, it will be like Berlin. It will take everyone a while to catch up.'"
