I will literally never understand this. Even a 70 year old nut like Lou Reed had to know that there were bands a million times heavier or rawer or technical or whatever he was trying to achieve with Metallica. Look at this Yeezus review:

http://thetalkhouse.com/lou-reed-of-the-velvet-underground-talks-kanye-wests-yeezus/

This is from a guy who was already a legend before the first rap song was ever recorded and he has this kind of insight into an off the wall record like Yeezus. A dude who still has this kind of insight into sounds and structures and conceptual ideas behind noise recording with Metallica of all the bands on the planet...

That was the day of his death too

>>68296240
Tell me this isn't real

>>68296383
didn't he describe himself as just an old guy who didn't give a fuck and just wanted to have fun or whatever

he didn't care about how it effected his reputation

>That interview where Lou looks directly into the camera and calls Lulu the best album he ever recorded

>>68296383
Why does he write like a 23 year old?
Literally if I didn't know it was Lou there is 0 chance I would think someone over 30 wrote that review.
Pretty cool how much he stayed open to new music and was able to really, truly appreciate music for what it is instead of any notion of what it SHOULD be. Rare to find guys from that period who are genuinely like that. RIP.

He didn't actually write it. He was speaking to a journalist who was writing down what he was saying verbatim. That's why it's super conversational and has tangents and no editing.

Oh that makes more sense. He still doesn't talk like a 70 year old though, like at all. Seems like the kind of guy I'd like to hang out with though.

>>68296666

>Hang out with

Read Cale's last encounter with him.

>Does Cale miss Reed? “No, we’d grown apart. Around the Metallica time, I was trying to figure out, why is this person shouting at me? [Reed released an album two years before his death in 2013 in which he ranted over music by Metallica.] And then, when I learnt that he’d started drinking, I thought, ‘That’s not a good thing.’ At some point he cut the cord: he wasn’t interested in music any more. That was a shock. And when he got sick it felt like a very public suicide.”

>Towards the end of Reed’s life, they exchanged emails. “I didn’t quite know where he was from one minute to the next. I don’t think either of us thought goodbyes were relevant. I found this police photograph of Stravinsky. He was busted because of an arrangement he did of The Star-Spangled Banner for the Boston Symphony Orchestra. So I sent it to Lou and said, ‘Hey, you think you’ve got problems.’ He liked that.”

Oh and during the Berlin years, he beat Bowie until he cried because he told him to stop drinking alcohol.

>>68296189
Well that's just what happens when you don't have the creativity factory that is Cale to cover up for your lack of talent.

Reed was a hack and anyone not realising this is just as delusional as he was.

>>68296873
maybe he was a hack but he could still play rocknroll really well & was a decent writer

Explain this.

And VU. And Transformer. And Berlin. And Street Hassle. And Blue Mask.

>>68296920
So were hundreds of other non-hack musicians back in his day. He only had his name and his work with Cale to put him above the rest in terms of notability. Without Cale he would have been forgotten after, at most, 1973.

Read the rest of the posts and you'll get your explanation.

>>68296972
I read the rest of the posts and I have no idea what you're talking about

>>68296189

Laugh all you want but if it wasn't for this we wouldn't have great albums like To Pimp a Butterfly or Flockaveli
