Lou Reed & Metallica – White Light/White Heat on Later… with Jools Holland in 2011, the British television program. Where he performed “Iced Honey” their recent collaborative album, Lulu, and the Velvet Underground‘s “White Light/White Heat”

The ‘Loutallica’ experience marches on with both acts entertaining the crowd of the UK based show ‘Later…With Jools Holland.’ Their performance included the original track ‘Iced Honey’ from their recent ‘Lulu’ release and a cover of the Velvet Underground tune ‘White Light/White Heat.’

Prompted by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25th Anniversary Concert where Metallica and Lou Reed both performed in 2009, the two forces spoke about potentially working together on a future project and ‘Lulu’ was conceived.

With ‘Lulu’ receiving mixed reviews Metallica fans don’t really seem to be fully embracing this experimental amalgamation between the two iconic sounds, but that doesn’t seem to be slowing them down any.

‘Lulu’ sold only 13,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release.
