Lou Reed dead

“manitou – Member
Sad he died I guess… but i couldnt stand the music….he apparently inspired a load of people to form bands. Probably after listening and thinking.. christ! we can play better than this drivel.”

I see that there are people who can write but say so little.

Am a little sad to see him go, some of his songs have accompanied me in some memorable times.

seems more like an insult than a tribute…

You’re spot on there. Glad I didn’t hear it.

Sad song
I loved all the VU stuff and some Lou Reed albums like Berlin, New York and got the chance to see VU in London in about 92 but was really disappointed with Lou Reed’s affected singing. I thought John Cale was cool though & Mo Tucker standing up playing a drum. What Goes on my fav.
Feel bad now as in recent years I thought he was a knob

From the Scotsman.’LOU Reed was a vicious, uncompromising, pretentious narcissist who epitomised everything sleazy and hard-bitten about rock ’n’ roll. He also had faults.’
