Is it me or is Heroes (the song) kinda like proto shoegaze?
Is it me or is Heroes (the song) kinda like proto shoegaze?
Heroes is the most blatant Velvet Underground ripoff I've ever heard
yes
Not true btw
Eno foretold shoegaze a few years earlier with Here Come the Warm Jets
YOU COULD BE MEAN
Yeah it is
Heroes sounds just like a VU song but with those electronic beeps and shit
Didn't Kevin Shields say that Heroes was one of his influences?
Is it a bad thing cause Heroes is an amazing song
It's not a bad thing just sort of interesting
Bowie was a huge Velvet Underground fan so it makes sense
I mean it has the droney and noisy guitars in the background, seems really proto-shoegazey too me
I disagree. It has the droney VU feeling sure, the main melody is very simple, it stays within an octave mostly, but erupts with Bowie raising the melody an octave. It's much too dramatic and heartfelt for a VU song.
Well, it doesn't sound *exactly* like a VU song, but it's pretty obviously Bowie's attempt at that sound
correct
needle in the camel's eye is also shoegazey
The Velvet Underground foretold shoegaze with Sunday Morning
I'M NOT SOME PIECE OF TEENAGE WIIIIIIIIILDLIIIIIIFE
This guy looks a lot like idubbztv
I think Queen Bitch would be a better example of that. ''Heroes'' sounds very ''Bowie-like'' to me.
The Beatles - It's All Too Much
Now that's proto shugazi.
this
oh my fuck this is such a good song
can't believe I never bothered to download yellow submarine
>not The United States of America - Cloud Song
wew
pleb
Ocean by TVU always felt like proto shoegaze to me
yes
Heroes sounds nothing like VU. You know who it sounds like? Robert Fripp
