Ugh talk about a guy who basically shot up any talent he had, went through two livers, and can rot in hell for Lulu.

That’s right. He was involved with Lulu. Kinda makes the worship look stupid in my book. The Andy Warhol of his lane.

Edit - for the record, I go just as hard on KISS (no makeup as benchmark) and Garth Brooks (Chris Gaines) and Prince (doctor shopping opiates instead of hip surgery because Jehovah’s Witness) and all I ask is to have Don Henley’s lawyer.

That's a lot of anger directed at some people who made some music you don't like.

Lulu is Metallica's only good album though.

Warhol and Reed were buddies, as far as I’m aware

That's just low effort picking a popular opinion for a hate target.

Lulu was worth a go on the strength of “Rock ‘n’ Roll Animal”, which is and always will be a top 5 live album - play it really loud. Don’t bother with earbuds or headphones.
