==Performance==
Lou Reed did not perform ''Metal Machine Music'' on stage until March 2002, when he collaborated with an avant-garde classical ensemble at the [[MaerzMusik]] festival in Berlin. The 10-member group Zeitkratzer performed the original album with Reed in a new arrangement by [[Ulrich Krieger]], featuring classical string, wind, piano, and accordion.<ref>{{Cite news|title=Lou Reed's 'Metal Machine Music' gets live treatment in Berlin |last=James|first=Colin|date=October 11, 2005 |agency=[[Associated Press|AP]] |work=AP Worldstream |url=http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-51420463.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924181326/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-51420463.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=September 24, 2015 |access-date=November 4, 2012}}</ref> Live recordings with (2007) and without (2014; all-acoustic) Reed are available commercially.<ref name="Richardson">{{cite web |last1=Richardson |first1=Mark |title=Zeitkratzer: Metal Machine Music |url=https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/19662-zeitkratzer-metal-machine-music/ |website=Pitchfork |access-date=27 February 2019 |language=en}}</ref>

A few years later, Reed formed a band named [[Metal Machine Trio]] as a noise rock/experimental side project.
