During an interview with The Canadian Press about his career and current activities, Canadian producer BOB ROCK - who was the man behind the board for METALLICA's Black album - commented on the band's collaboration with LOU REED, Lulu:

"I'm a huge Lou Reed fan and a huge Metallica fan ... I know those guys very well, and it sounds like they did what they wanted to do, and I see the art in it. For Metallica, I think it's amazingly courageous for them to do a record like this, and to put it out like they did, 'cause they didn't really put out as a side project, they put it out (as) a Metallica record with Lou Reed. That's really gutsy."
