R.I.P. Lou Reed
— Purple Avenger

Its this style of song that continued to draw me over the years. It ain't pretty, or clever, or an anthem, but it cut to the harsh reality of life like a scalpel. Lou had a few horrible stinkers, but when he was good, he was very very good.

8 He got started while I was in the Navy overseas so didn't hear too much of his stuff. And since I don't listen to top 40 radio never heard too much after I got out of the Navy.

Nevertheless, RIP Lou.

10 >>Yeah, never understood why people liked his music so much. Most of his stuff was kind of meh but he did write some all time classics. And the VU was one of the most influential bands of the 60s, at least on this side of the Atlantic.

Posted by: JackStraw at October 27, 2013 02:39 PM (g1DWB)

11 While not nearly as old as Vic, I had a Velvet Underground 8 track tape. Stolen out of my 68 Chevrolet Chevelle 327/325 hp car, along with the 4 channel 8 track player. I could never find another copy. I'm all over the music spectrum as far as what I like and Lou Reed filled some part of that spectrum. Oddly, inconsistently he was important.

20 Lou Reed was an icon. As they pointed out in his obit, there are several styles of music that would simply not have happened without his influence. Walk on the Wild Side was, again, iconic. Whatever our differences, whatever excesses contributed to his demise, 71 is too young to die and I mourn the passing of one of the greats . . . as PJ said, one of the original cool guys. At least, of his generation. RIP, Lou.

You didn't find much of his work in the top 40 anyway. Over his career only 3 made it on any chart.

He was an influencer of others.

31 I thought 8-track had pretty much died out by 72. Maybe, I don't recall. I was too cheap to buy the latest/greatest. Plus married. I remember my son stuck a banana in the trap door of my indoor stereo 8 track player in the early 80's. Then 'malty balls' in my fish tank a few weeks later, killing all my fish. Last I checked, he might very well be writing code for ObamaCare.

40 I admire him for his longevity, but I don't quite get the level of talent advertised. The song posted is "ok." Am I failing to appreciate a genre he created. Just don't get it. That New York album, the last one I heard, just sounded like a jam session with a guy whose singing ability didn't seem much better than that of Shatner. Is he singing? It sounds like a jam session...

Posted by: @ParisParamus at October 27, 2013 02:53 PM (vaNTd)

I love the song Sweet Jane. I understand now it is probably about heroin, but at the time I first heard its haunting melody of loneliness and regret it sounded like heart break to these Midwestern ears. The Cowboy Junkies did a cover of it later that I love too.

Was never really a Lou Reed guy, being a thrash metal devotee and all, but I did like his edgy style. The best in any genre of art and music are often the ones overlooked by the shiny and the banal.

Kind of surprised he made it to 71, actually. Good work, there.

Rest in Peace.

Some people like to go out dancing

Whereas other people like us got to work

Gotta watch me now and there's even some evil mothers

They'll tell you life's just dirt

That the pretty women never really faint

That villains always blink their eyes

That children are the only ones who blush

And that life, life is just to die, but I want to tell you something

Anyone who has ever had a heart

Oh oh wouldn't turn around and break it half

Anyone who has ever played a part

They're not gonna turn around and hate it

50 >>I got nothin; hewas before my time. Then crotchety you may be, old you aint'. Lou Reed was an icon of the early US rock and roll scene. He was borderline cookoo bananas, his parents sent him through electroshock treatment back when it was as about as sophisticated as hooking up jumper cables and a car battery to your pre-frontal. Probably did more damage than anything else. And then he did drugs. A whole lot of drugs. Ended up as part of the Warhol scene in NYC which was about as looney tunes as you could get at that time. East Coast version of Kesey Kool Aid parties. He wrote some of the most enduring rock songs of the 60s, Sweet Jane, Rock and Roll, Walk on the Wild Side, etc., and influenced the next generation of song writers in a big way. Also wrote some really dark stuff like Sally Can't Dance No More, did I mention he did lots of drugs? He got a new liver this past spring. Apparently, it was too late.

Posted by: JackStraw at October 27, 2013 03:00 PM (g1DWB)

51 >>> Yeah, never understood why people liked his music so much I picked up his CD Ecstacy used for $3. My favorite is Possum Day, 18 minutes of noise that takes the first five trying to find a rhythm. Two chords, I think. Yeah, not everybody's cup of backwash.

61 Anyone who has seen the movie 'Trainspotting' -- and if you haven't you should* -- would recognize the Lou Reed style to the music. Plus one of his tunes. * Not for the weak of heart, or easily nauseated.

Nah, it's not about heroin. Lou was the sort of songwriter who didn't mess around; when he wanted to write a song about heroin he said "fuck it" and just called it "Heroin." "Sweet Jane" is, in part, about trannys, however. Which does put it in line with the Officially Approved AoSHQ Lifestyle.

Try "Rock And Roll" from the same album as "Sweet Jane" (Loaded). A more unaffected and sincere anthem to rock music you will not find. Great lead guitar lines, too. "She started dancing to that FINE FINE music, you know her life was saved by rock and roll!"

82 Lou didn't have many actual hits, he was more of an acquired taste. That being said, he was not afraid to suck in order to play something original, and not obviously knocked together for a quick Top 40 payday. A little bit of the creative spark of rock & roll died today....

102 12 It takes a lot skill to be able to sing wordy story-songs.

For my money, Joni Mitchell and Suzanne Vega are the only ones who can do it really well.

I loathed Joni Mitchell when she was young and new, and she was the inventor of that sort of music (no melody, just lots of talking with no real connection to the rhthym).

My daughter's HS talent show was about 30 performers long, and most of them did that kind of song. I was ready to kill myself after about 5 of them. I feel no need to listen to upper middle class white kids strumming a guitar and wailing about their pain.

Bowie ripped it. He was a huge admirer of Reed. He wrote "Queen Bitch" in honor of the VU. I'll never forget Lou Reed's face going gaga 'cause he was on stage with Bowie who was singing Reed's songs. Walk on the Wild Side is probably one of the coolest tunes ever in my book.

162 Lou Reed was hard to listen to sometimes, for me. Actually, a lot. But the talent was undeniable, and the idea that musicians were listening, and getting something important from it, seems right.

He was not really a performer. And yet, every now and then, things clicked, and he was, and you could see what he had.

The two that would break me are Dylan and Pete Townshend. Genesis may be my favorite band, but their appeal is mostly musical for me, not lyrical, and was the product of a collective, not a singular genius.

Iggy might have been a major druggie head case, but you ever see him shirtless? Ripped, not an ounce of fat. Sometimes I wonder if the amount of drugs rock stars supposedly used to take isn't exagerated, embelished by sycophantic rock journalists back in the day....

Not in Iggy's case, I'm pretty sure of that. Guy is amusingly well-adjusted these days, however, for someone who was truly a basket-case in the '60s and '70s. Bowie helped straighten him out in a major way. BTW if you don't have Iggy's The Idiot you've missed his greatest work, particularly if you're a fan of Bowie's Berlin-era material as well (it's a collaboration btw. the two; Bowie did almost all of the music, Pop almost all of the lyrics).

I'm honestly convinced it was a bum rap. Laugh if you want, but I've looked at the evidence (he never was accused of doing anything to anyone, just internet-related transactions), and he seems innocent to me. Unlike, say, Gary Glitter.

There's a reason the UK prosecutors dropped all charges and exonerated him. Of course people still use this as a punchline to slander him, but that's life.

My Dad was from a family of whiskey makers who came to the Colonies in the 16th century. Even though she was a strict Primitive Baptist she felt it was important to keep the tradition. She had some Bourbon in a barrel that was about twenty years old and 120 proof. Better than any Cognac. ever.

251 RIP Lou Reed. I always liked the song "Coney island Baby" by him as well as the other songs mentioned already. As for the Velvet Underground, it wasn't just Lou Reed. Early on it also had John Cale, who made two of my favorite albums: Paris 1919 and Fear. The guy was a kind of genius in the early days at least. I can't imagine anyone hating on "Paris 1919" it's just one beautiful song after another. Try "A Child's Christmas in Wales" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9IKnVVRsmk "Fear" is a different critter altogether. Very simple music with Eno's production.

270 The best thing about Reed's work in VU was that it was a complete FU to the hippy shit coming out if SF. Reed wasn't talking about "love and peace", he was telling stories about the real people in his life - the junkies, hookers and trannies of the NY scene. The NY punk scene takes it's inspiration from Reed. And, Bowie is a thief. All of his best ideas belong to Lou Reed, Iggy and Brian Eno. But, Bowie was a brilliant businessman, and could sell to the mass market what those individual never could.

It's absolutely not BS and I remember well that a biographer of Reed's (with Reed's permission, I believe) actually accessed the written medical records of his treatment and cited from them for his book. He was given electroshock therapy to treat "sexual deviancy" (i.e. he was bisexual). Didn't work too well.

Fact is, the '50s really were different times when it came to this sort of thing.

Thanks for the thread, Purp. Gotten woken up and told the news. Reed was a weirdo, but the dude could rock. "Take no Prisoners" was a killer album and I probably enjoy his "middle" period the best... Sally Can't Dance, Coney Island Baby, Rock n Roll Heart, Street Hassle.

However, I think he actually hit his peak in 84. New Sensations LP is a standout and one of his best. Plus, he was totally on fire that year, live. I've seen Reed in action at different periods, but the New Sensations tour killed. The band, largely the Blue Mask line up were fantastic, but most importantly, his voice was still in fine form (unlike later years) and I've never heard him play guitar better. He really drove his axe. He was clean and on top of his game in 84.

That would have been one of the "Street Hassle" shows. You're a lucky man, I never saw that. That's captured on "Take No Prisoners" and a couple of great bootlegs.

282 He enjoyed the meth-head period at Warhol's Factory and survived. He recorded the "White Light/White Heat" album, including all 17 brilliant stupid minutes of "Sister Ray". He was gayer than Christmas (or seemed to be), but kept marrying women. Because FU, that's why. He was cooler than almost all the punk rock that nodded to him. And he's the first musician whose death made me actually sad. Since Johnny Ramone, anyway. RIP, Lou. You're finally done waiting for the man.

What did he do?

He was Lou Reed....First PUNK....he was real...Artist not a rock star...did not sell out (that much)...influence on other musicians...

For me it is "rock and roll animal"...the intros to Sweet Jane and Heroin...and the fact that it is one of the greatest Live Albums that caught a show that well.
