lou reed and metallica

After much controversy (mainly between fans of either) we get to see Lou and Metallica on UK tv last night for the first time.
And what a showing it was. The debate, no, arguing still continues in all camps but it was more than obvious all involved were having a riot. Including the audience.
After weeks of 'Later' producing very average content at last this had something with balls.
Raw, rough and powerful. Closer in vibe to early punk than mainstream rock which would have been the easy option, this pairing ate the show and looked like they were ready for more.
So argument over, suck it up anyone who thinks otherwise, this was the Velvet Underground classic 'White Light White Heat' nearly 50 years later and breathing new air.
