  • RIP Lou Reed

    One of the best.
    If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

        Lou Reed always seemed great....Iggy is the Keith Richards of Lou's generation, that's the one that will get me...

          A couple of tributes from this weekend:

          https://www.youtube.com/embed/96T360YblFY (The Killlers: Pale Blue Eyes) - very good

          https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeYK4Dm835k (Pearl Jam: Waiting for the man) - pretty good

          https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgatNaa7Aw0#t=20 (Pearl Jam: Daughter/Take a walk on the wild side) - just OK

            RIP to one of the greats. He expanded the possibilities of what rock could do just as much as any of the Beatles did.

            Since there was some discussion in the "no one posts here anymore" thread about the need for another draft, maybe we could do a Lou Reed/VU draft?

              There's a new book coming out that doesn't paint a pretty picture of Reed. I don't really care for his music much, but apparently those that do knew he was considered a major prick.

                Yea doubt this comes as a surprise to many of his fans. Have to separate the art from the artist.

                  Critical darling whose music I never cared for.

                    I just have his "Different Times" cd in my collection. But, i really love the live extended version of "Sweet Jane" on there. RIP Lou Reed.

                      He was notoriously cantankerous. Even more of a curmudgeon than Zappa.
