The Velvet Underground - Andy Warhol - European Son

[TheHandsomeCrab]

The Velvet Underground were the first website, they didn't make songs, they made downloads.

[yootubenadir]

unsurpassed brilliance. and to the rest of you - Nico wasn't in the band. she was barely tolerated and died in a bike accident. it's art as much as music. jazz as much as rock. if you don't get it, come back and listen to it when you've heard more experimental music.

[Holycleo]

Is this video Andy Warhol footage?

[theskycavedin]

Cocksuckers, this song is better than anything you listen to.

[bodsnvimto]

The letdown at the tail end of an otherwise superb album.

[seraphcerise]

were these videos credited to Andy Warhol?

[fikco]

the best of my live

the best of the word

original

[BlackHoleSun1921]

Good song to take Acid to, or bad song to take Acid to?

[sockpuppetmartinez]

Holy shit, this fucking sucks. Each and every one of you who proclaims the beauty and power of this abomination is a fucking liar. No one can honestly like this bullshit.

[CLU10123]

@sockpuppetmartinez It's called noise rock, and its awesome.

[kidkaboodle7]

@sockpuppetmartinez yeah i like it, fuck off

[sockpuppetmartinez]

Horrible, horrible shit.

[JaackPat]

@sockpuppetmartinez Aw.

[jesscleawater]

@sockpuppetmartinez The Whole point of the velvet underground is that they don't care if anyone likes there music or not.

[sockpuppetmartinez]

So they won't resent me for thinking they, or at least most of their work with Warhol/Nico, sucks?

[JaackPat]

@sockpuppetmartinez Nope. They don't give a shit. In fact, in the inside their debut album cover they put quotes from music critics saying about how horrible they were.

[Lilivum]

@sockpuppetmartinez who do you think you are to tell people they don't like this kind of music? probably one bastard who doesn't know anything about real music.

[fireflyqueen6]

one hell of a song, considering when it was recorded -- mid 60s it makes your mind trip.. hey, you know that young ones? you know this band was the beginning of it all?

[portabletiger]

For what it's worth I do hear some kind of drums. As said before though, does it really matter? This must have sounded insane back in '67 since it still sounds incredible today!

[whoisgazingatmyshoes]

is there a drums or not ? what's matter! best song ever

[cradthemoontripper]

yeah, definitely lacking bass, but a good view. Always best on vinyl

[DrunkAtheist]

Why is everyone thumbing down the comments that say the sound is shit? Compared to the album version the sound is shit on this video. It seems to be missing bass or something.

[lvgrl90]

wow totally listened to this song on my good speakers... did hear the drums sorry

[lvgrl90]

the sound quality on this video is just poor

[lvgrl90]

im pretty sure there are no drums throughout the whole song, think it is just a bass

[ripperclipper72]

oh,oh,oh,,, really oh, oh, oh!

[slopydrunk]

i htink its not shoegaze or noise pop! but those later bands are velvety undergoundyy or post velvet :) rube!

[Abortive]

it's like sister ray with bass and no drums kinda...

[San5a]

oh yes in white light there's the drum but they're too loud! O.o

[djboony]

the drums come in after that plate smashes

[AllRiseForDrEvil]

This is some crazy ass shit.

And I like it!

[sidolanters]

Love the song. Who made the video?

[diViSiONdeJoiE]

Andy Warhol.

[Miapink12]

Hell Yeah This Feakin' Rocks "You better sit so long.." to listen to this Awesome song!

[mahavishnu]

Oh, shit!

This is shoegaze! This is noise pop! isn't it?

[sidolanters]

[Refrescospepito]

The sound is just shit, but the document is wonderful.

[eikipi]

can't someone just take the footage and add a good version of the song that you can actually hear everybody?

[gina888warhol]

[razzledazzleduke]

das isses was die welt, im innersten zusammenhält. vielleicht doch nicht??

[HerejeConsumado]

CRASH!!!!!

[rafael28]

fucking LOVE this song

[corryton]

VIVA DELMORE SCHWARTZ!

[rabmunch]

Delmore Schwartz was a confused and worthless writer.

Chicago 1988 - Bellow told me his real opinion of Schwartz. The whole movement from the 19th century was nonsense. Now it's dead.

[corryton]

Okay, fine, but not to me.

[iChesus]

good footage.
