Velvet Underground

I have my own interpretation, i am not a sheep, I can say what I want, I don't want to say what you have dictated to me.

 

I dont know how you can compare VU to the beatles or the stones. they are hardly similar

 

I didn't say you were a sheep....

Sheep are wool covered creatures that go "Baahhh", and they certainly can't type.

 

Shit...double post....

 

Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girlchild in the dark
Comes in bells, your servant, don't forsake him
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

The first song i really heard was Sunday Morning at 1am on Saturday (theretically Sunday morning) which i connecte dwith for obvious reasons when i was headed back from a boozy night. SUNDAY MORNING is lovely. Pale blue eyes soon followed...

 

before i knew it i was buying the all album box set and they are really growin on me

 

I love the VU....Lady Godiva's Operation is probably my favorite, if I had to pick one

 

yep def agree with 2 thumbs up

very good band

 

Venus in furs has a very trippy version on the Lou Reed Animal Serenade album. D/L IT! It has a mad double bass solo which is so powerful. Well recorde dperformance

 

wow ive never heard that version before, how about some of nico's songs? all of tomorrow's parties, i'll be your mirror, femme fatale? but i see you guys are really concentrated on venus in furs lol which is a pretty crazy song, i have a live recording of the song too on "The Velvet Underground Live MCMXCIII.' does anyone else have that cd? they sound so beautiful live, venus in furs sounds so different but really beautiful live.. it's truely an amazing work of art that minds of today can't seem to create anymore lol

 

i think that is true, the velvet underground did write the same genre of music except they wrote about darker things in life.. heroin for example lol.. there is no doubt that lou reed wrote that song during a heroin rush or when he was hurting for a hit while the beatles wrote about strawberry fields forever. it's plain that the velvet underground wrote very realistic music

 

oh yeah and the velvet underground was involved with Andy Warhol which also made them a very different group

 

The Velvet Underground shat on the Stones and Beatles from great heights. Well 10 years later they did

 

i like the live mxw/e one but animal serenade is the master

 

Good book too...The guy who wrote it gave me my favorite past time well..not really made it more or less got his name thrown into it.

 

I love VU, too... But I think they are very different from the beatles and the stones...

 

Lou Reed and The Velvet Underground is pure SEX.

 

Velvet Underground is one of the greatest bands of all-time and i hope you can dig that man. no band before or after the Velvet Underground broke as many rules and territory as Velvet did you know. lou reed practically invented guitar drone man and blended the energy of rock with the avant-garde and introduced a new degree of social realism and sexual kinkiness into rock lyrics man. Probably the greatest and most influential, most revolutionary American rock band to ever live you know.

 

I got their first album and its awesome!
