"Lou Reed said that he did not know anyone but himself who would have listened to the whole album. He also said things like he used to sleep by lowering the number of revolutions to the turntable. But even with those claims, Lou Reed continued to defend this record as one of the best things he had done in his life."
How could i tell him that i liked the album?
it's because i really feel sad when the work of someone gets misunderstood or underapreciated, i really feel the need of tell him that it was worth it, it hasn't happen to you with other underrated records or artists?
Robert Hill
lou reed was a fucking liar
Carter Bailey
why?
Daniel Young
that was Lou Reed luring you out to listen to this album just for some giggles
Jeremiah Thomas
hes whole schtick was the woe is me im a confused artist, then when you give him some sympathy he spits on your face.
talented guy but don't feel sorry for this fuck. he chewed out andy warhol when vu&n didn't do well in the beginning
Oliver Wright
the original nu-male
Jaxon Lopez
more like vu-male
Grayson Carter
sounds ilogical, that would cost him his credibility as an artist
Adam Hernandez
Lmao
Ryder Lewis
logic is an illusion
Joshua Barnes
>he chewed out andy warhol when vu&n didn't do well in the beginning whoa dude where can I read about this
Nathaniel Reyes
Also tossed out Cale because he wanted to be the indisputed leader of the band
Carter Wright
didn't he mostly rip MMM off from Cale?
Lincoln Nguyen
It's kind of too late to tell him now. He probably wouldn't have given a fuck what you or anyone else thought of it anyway
Jordan Kelly
Yes. Cale was doing this stuff almost a decade before MMM. See: Loop/White Wind single
Jaxon Edwards
it's certainly very similar in aesthetic to Cale's home recordings from the 60's, so I don't think there's any doubt Reed was influenced by Cale and the whole Dream Syndicate scene
Jaxson Hall
Hack
Simple as that
Aaron Kelly
why?
Andrew Lewis
The influence of this album is obviously big, and I'm sure Reed knew about this.
Robert Johnson
what artists were influenced by this thing?
Nolan Parker
>What is the entire genre of noise music?
Lincoln Cooper
>lou reed invented noise music kekeroni
Robert Sanchez
what does that have to do with lou?
Thomas Collins
He didn't. Noise being recognized as a musical genre and incorporated into popular music was mostly the result of Metal Machine Music.
Jack Morris
Cale was undisputedly the genius of The Velvet Underground. This is why the quality of their music in every criteria other than lyrics after WL/WH (the greatest rock album of all time)
