01 Metal Machine Music Parts I-IV

Lou Reed (R.I.P.) processed & unprocessed guitars, mini continuum
Ulrich Krieger tenor sax, live electronics
Sarth Calhoun live processing, continuum finger board

Panned by critics, Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music was deemed unlistenable by human ears. Rolling Stone said it was ..like "the tubular groaning of a galactic refrigerator" and as displeasing to experience as "a night in a bus terminal". In the 1979 Rolling Stone Record Guide, critic Billy Altman said it was "a two-disc set consisting of nothing more than ear-wrecking electronic sludge, guaranteed to clear any room of humans in record time."

Flash to 2010 and countless bands have cited it as a direct influence on their music. Earth, Merzbow, Boris, and SunnO))) all leaders in the Drone Doom/Drone Metal genre, give praise to this release as the birth of their genre of music. Once again Lou Reed was (White) light years ahead of everyone else.

The show is one single file but since the music is played as one continuous piece it shouldn't bother anyone.

I got this from Hear Rock City...Thanks Guys!

justdave's notes:
I ripped the waves with DVD Audio Extractor. I then used Goldwave to adjust the volume and re-edit some track marks. No EQ or noise reduction was used. I seperated all the tunings and false starts from each track so that you could listen to just the songs if you so wish. I encoded the waves to MP3 320kbps because the DVD had lossy audio.

This DVD is said to be dress rehearsals for Don Kirshner's Rock Concert, and seems so with there being no real audience. It is known that some bands were filmed with no audience present and then the audience was edited in later. This was confirmed by Kansas, who were on Kirshner Records. The band released their Rock Concert performance with their Sail On Box Set and talked about the filming in the intro to the DVD footage. So this could actually be a show taping. At the end of the last track the director thanks Ambrosia then tells the crew to prep the stage for John Cougar as the audio fades. They retake a few songs because of technical difficulties, if it was a dress rehearsal they wouldn't need a retake of  Your The Only Woman because of a faulty drum mic. So I really think this is an actual taping that the audience will be dubbed in. Either way it's a pretty cool glimpse behind the scenes of Don Kishner's Rock Concert.
