Lou Reed

Post by Mellor »

A member of possibly the most influential band of all time.

Sad to see he's passed on. A huge part of my life through VU and solo.

Saw him live and his band was brutal and totally amazing.

Thoughts go to Mrs R, Laurie Anderson.

RIP Lou - you changed the course of music and certainly enriched my life.

Giving Berlin a run out. His finest post VU album, bleak, moving and somehow appropriate.

I'm absolutely stunned by this sad news, we forget legends such as Lou are older than us. Reed was a pioneer of rock music 8-) I had the pleasure of seeing the great man many moons ago.

RIP Lou

His music was not to everyone's taste but I agree that he has been an icon of rock music & no doubt influenced many younger musicians.
Walk on the wild side, Lou.

Apparently he was tee-total and a vegan for the past 30 years ...

Never a fan of the Velvets - I just dislike art rock as a genre generally and Nico's voice was like a droning air raid warning at half speed, but I did enjoy some of the later stuff. I've actually got 6 of his solo LPs :o

I was never a huge fan either - BUT I have to say there are a few tracks featuring Nico's vocals that still send shivers down my spine. She had a haunting unforgettable voice on occasions!
