Guns N' Roses Guitarist Insists Making a New Album is Their 'Main Priority'

The last time they came out with an announcement about new material, it ended up taking 17 years. Granted, the album did end up turning out pretty good, but with all the arguments between Axl Rose and former members including Slash, who knows what the end result will be? And another question is, will fans be willing to wait that long again? My theory is that the current generation of fans dies off in that time, and a whole new set of fans are the ones that see the new product. Here's the story so far.

Lou Reed and Metallica to Release New Album Together

Aside from their shared love of the color black, Lou Reed and Metallica don’t have much in common – Metallica are heavy metal heroes, and Reed is the unofficial poet laureate of New York. Despite the differences, the band and Reed have announced yesterday they’ve recorded an album together.

Reed told Ultimate Classic Rock all it took was one concert to bring them together.

A 25th anniversary Rock and Roll Hall of Fame performance in 2009 found Metallica backing up Reed for a couple of songs. “We knew from then,” Reed told David Fricke of Rolling Stone, who broke the news, “that we were made for each other.”
