so, good old lou reed recorded a tune with the Killers....damn thats dissapointing! Antony is wonderful, Jack White, ok, Conner Oberst ummm... but the fuckin KILLERS?! Whats wrong with this guy? Ok. ok, obviuosly this is just my personal opinion, but I have to admit, I am confused and dissapointed in Lous latest choice in collaborators... I love Lou Reed unconditionally, but this is really pushing my buttons.

some reason must have for this... ($$$)

Kill Yr. Idols !!!

hehe, don't forget Lou's involvement in KISS's "The Elder".
I think he needs something like this from time to time...
Apart from that, I think the Killers are a nice listen. Nothing too special, of course. But they don't hurt anybody...
I am glad he didn't do a duet with Muse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ack ack

There was a joke when i was at school "Have you heard Chris Rea and Dire Straits are recording together - yeah they are calling themselves DireRea"..
Ok it wasn't that funny..

The Killers are OK..Jenny Was A Friend is a great tune.They saw the dollar signs and went stadium rock-tastic

Yeah, Morrissey picked that one for a compilation once. Come to think of it, YOU sent that to me, bleach!

Reed is already the greatest icon in the history of modern music, he has nothing to prove

You need to understand what Reed understands. Which is that by "collaborating" on a Killers' b-side, perhaps a few of the millions of hipsters that listen to that shit will actually go back and buy the Velvets albums that spawned the pitiful indie music they worship

Reed doesn't care if a Velvets song is put on a terrible automobile TV ad. It'll make someone out there go out and buy Drella, or Magic and Loss. Because that's what his music is for, to be listened to, not just to be given 3 stars by MOJO and forgotten...

What the f**k is wrong with you guys? The Killers and Muse are the two coolest bands since Oasis and Blur. Shame on you!! That being said, I actually think it sounds exiting...

the best thing than him passage to music in the last years was the musical revolution by nirvana putting to true bands indie/alternative rock in the radio transmitters.

and now to MUSE they say ¨grunge¨ to him? that laughter

for my the killers is a commercial group of the pile without a true musical talent

oasis even makes good musical comedy that they must let try to be beatles


one of the few actuals bands that make true music is sonic youth

that is my opinion

this post title should really just refer to lou's solo career.
