Let's face it, a 50 year career is a bit of a gold mine for puns. Title: Re: Rolling Stone Reporting Lou Reed RIP Post by: Peter Venkman on Sunday, October 27, 2013, 17:37:28 Walk on the wild side is an absolute classic, a great writer and performer who was instrumental in the beginnings of punk.
Title: Re: Rolling Stone Reporting Lou Reed RIP Post by: Ardiles on Sunday, October 27, 2013, 17:40:40 I hated it when Comic Relief, or whoever it was, covered Perfect Day. They fucking murdered it. The original is, quite frankly, the sexiest song ever written.
RIP Lou. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYEC4TZsy-Y Title: Re: Rolling Stone Reporting Lou Reed RIP Post by: wiggy on Sunday, October 27, 2013, 17:50:14 Damn and bugger. I have been listening to a lot of Lou Reed recently - New York is a fantastic album.
Will wear a Velvet Underfround t-shirt to the pub tomorrow. Title: Re: Rolling Stone Reporting Lou Reed RIP Post by: Batch on Sunday, October 27, 2013, 17:57:18 :(
Transformer was one of the standout albums of its time, IMO Title: Re: Rolling Stone Reporting Lou Reed RIP Post by: Sir Pissalot on Sunday, October 27, 2013, 19:42:30 Fuck it! Another of my music heroes gone. There's not too many left now. RIP Lou. You have left us with many great songs and riffs.
BBC Radio 6 Music currently playing back to back Lou Reed songs. Title: Re: Rolling Stone Reporting Lou Reed RIP Post by: Dostoyevsky on Sunday, October 27, 2013, 19:42:56 Sunday mornin', praise the dawnin'

Bona Fide legend

Title: Re: Rolling Stone Reporting Lou Reed RIP Post by: janaage on Sunday, October 27, 2013, 20:29:09 Can't say I was a massive Lou Reed fan , as I didn't know much about him. But I did buy his greatest hits a good 15 years ago or so and absolutely loved it. Bought it for Perfect Day but the amount of quality tracks on there was an eye opener.
Candy Says, Venus in Furs, Satelitte of Love, Beginning to see the light, Pale Blue Eyes, Sunday Morning and of course Perfect day and WoTWS. Respect to Lou, his music will live on.

Title: Re: Rolling Stone Reporting Lou Reed RIP Post by: Saxondale on Monday, October 28, 2013, 19:07:48 I had the dubious pleasure of repping a gig with him back in 2010. It was one of his Metal Machine Music shows. He was a grumpy old sod. Much to be expected. We got a lovely letter of complaint
'to come onto the stage and spend nearly half an hour with his back turned and his trousers hanging around his behind like some teenage kid was a joke' I don't know if they expected him to come and start telling jokes. Still. An absolute legend.

Still. An absolute legend. Anyone that went to a gig on that tour had a bloody cheek complaining. It's not like the music press hadn't made it pretty clear what the shows would be like. Title: Re: Rolling Stone Reporting Lou Reed RIP Post by: Saxondale on Monday, October 28, 2013, 19:43:20 The adverts made it very clear. Emblazoned across them it said 'there will be no songs'
Title: Re: Rolling Stone Reporting Lou Reed RIP Post by: Ardiles on Monday, October 28, 2013, 19:45:34 Mainstream press as well.
Guardian: Lou Reed to tour UK with Metal Machine Trio (http://www.theguardian.com/music/2010/jan/28/lou-reed-metal-machine-trio) Title: Re: Rolling Stone Reporting Lou Reed RIP Post by: dagrumpymunki on Tuesday, October 29, 2013, 11:14:34 The adverts made it very clear. Emblazoned across them it said 'there will be no songs' Well there you go. It's like going to see Van Morrison and complaining that he's a bit of a surly cunt. |
