Lou Reed - Vicious

[LadyStardustVertigo]

Could be the greatest song ever, ain't it?

[2BCBattlefield]

Needs more... or wait... no its perfect

[GpeterKostwinder]

thumbs up if you're dutch !

[lionsfan42]

Perfect amount of cowbell.

[kevnb3]

If he could still sing like this not every Metallica fan would hate him now.

[mixalis7123]

Real Rock...!!!...

[tfred1211]

what i hate more than ppl bitchen on youtube, is people bitchin bout people bitchin on youtube..... now im bein a bit of a hypocrit by posting this but fuck, wat u gnna bout it????

[TheElefanteBranco]

@tfred1211 I'm gonna bitch about it! you bitch

[tfred1211]

@TheElefanteBranco i appoligize sir i was drunk when posted that, but there really is no reason to call names

[TheElefanteBranco]

@tfred1211 chill, i just loved the bitchin bich word play, It was not intended to call you a female dog.

[TheRockadelic]

i absolutely agree with PowrfulDanger77!! Greetings from greece!

[PowerfulDanger77]

You are both cunts for being whiney little bitches. I don't get why EVERY youtube video in the world has to have some sort of fucking pussy argument on it. Just enjoy the music and shut the fuck up. This is why there is an option to disable comments for whiney assholes that always want to start a fucking retarded argument about what they like. WE DON'T GIVE TWO SHITS ABOUT WHAT YOU LIKE!!!

[txeire]

@PowerfulDanger77 ha ha...nice job Powerful. Smack em down. just listen and enjoy peeps

[MegaDave508]

@PowerfulDanger77 well said , totally agree

[CornishCockney]

david bowie is all over this great track

[AlecKronicle]

one of my favorite songs hands down-I also think it's lou's best non-velvet song. I wouldnt be surprised if half these views weren't mine

[TerryTuckin]

Top notch! what what what...

[pedro1218ify]

Buen tema

[skizzo19761]

nice shit!

[zoooooopopo]

more cowbell!

[kobi1974]

The godfather of Punk!

[MsPaolino79]

vizioso.. mi cogli come un fiore..

[coryonly]

So, what did I miss that pissed off Lou Reed fans and Metallica fans? Personally, I enjoy both artists but I can't go the a Lou Reed song without noticing posts hating on him and people hating on the people hating.... it seems like a senseless cycle.

[82molson]

Music fans are MUSIC fans, dispite genre, decade... If you can't appreciate something good than hush up, sit down and write something that changes music forever. No can't? yeah. then shut up.

[MetalMachineManiac]

@82molson NO Metallica fans are musical hicks, they dont live anything different and they think their taste is superior

[MetalMachineManiac]

@MetalMachineManiac *Like*

[MrP00sy]

@MetalMachineManiac thats a pretty big statement. care to justify it? im pretty sure you cant. of course there are people who only like one kind of music, but that applies to lou fans, to blues fans, to jazz fans, to techno fans etc. but dont judge a whole group based on a loud and annoying minority. have a nice day being an asshole! :)

[MetalMachineManiac]

@MrP00sy Well I wasnt talking to you and judging by your reaction you got hit with a dose of truth....bitching about an artist totally out of your small box....Metallica are overated shit and will allways be in the eyes of the real music fans who are now the minority because of cunts like you...so go wank of "master of puppets" you twat and dont reply to me.

[MrP00sy]

@MetalMachineManiac i like lou reed because he is a good musician/songwriter, i also like metallica older work because they used to be good musicians/songwriters. i dont like you because you call me a cunt when you know absolutely nothing about me, and im not doing or saying anything that qualifies me as one. its times like these that i wish i could punch people in the face through the internet. learn to understand that people who like what you hate are not necessarily retarded or assholes.

[nana78748]

21 people are metalheads

[GiorgioDOPPIAG]

@nana78748

No.

I listen some metal bands (not so heavy, or noisy) and i love progressive from the '70 years... and Rock n Roll.§Bat in the metal scene there are a lot of idiots...

[nana78748]

@GiorgioDOPPIAG sorry man.



[GiorgioDOPPIAG]

@nana78748

Don't worry!

I hate those people, they ruined an entire category of fans...

"Extreme" metal make extreme fans... extremely idiots.

GLORIA ETERNA ALLA MUSICA!

[nana78748]

@GiorgioDOPPIAG Thanks man, they are extremely annoying hating on lou reed. wish they would stop.

[aekoriginale21]

21 people who pussed dislike are stupid and dont hear the fantastic artist called Lou Reed..

[666llop]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

[necromante45]

Lou Reed is so vicious!

[MINDCONTROLLEDLOVE]

bad mouther fuckin asss ...

[SolsburyHill22]

I did a cover of this in a college band I was in at Truro College 2008, best song I've ever covered and my favourite song period.

[mojangles1]

..i say this to my girlfriend almost every other night..

[elvispresley718]

it was lou's way with words that put him in the history books the allman bros played their guitars just as well maybe better but they didnt write a lot of songs like vicious in other words people remember the allmans or skynrd because of the riffs not always with lou reed or bob dylan songs

[suim2007]

@elvispresley718

Skynyrd is more than just riffs man...simple man, tuesdays gone, sweet home alabama...sure the guitar playing was great, but without ronnie van zant things wouldnt have gone quite as well as they did for skynyrd...at least til 77 :/

[scatsmfc1]

metallica my arse ,lou reed is the man...

[ConvergecultBastard]

This is the only cassette in my truck.

[1jackiea]

[spikeisking007]

[MrMelodynelson]

I well know what ALL about meaning-each tempo and lyric..

[bookeronebaby]

Never heard of Lou Reed? Heavens child you need to learn some music history and learn to Walk on the Wild Side!

[brucedetorres]

[deadly2426]

iv never heard of lou reed till i saw the thing about metallica and lou gettin together

That being said, it could be one weird album

[25658keith]

Mocking masterpiece for the bigots years we are entering so fast.....isn't it??

[IZaakTheGreek]

hearing this song makes me wanna walk to the road with my head up,a beer in my hand, and my gf kissing my neck

[stevies5]

Still loving this after all these years. :)

[bibiotz1]

all day, everyday

[jamesriffesq]

[jamesriffesq]

i learnt guitar and rhythm to this song let along sarcasism

[ViciousPudding]

we didn't get our name from this song but it certainly was in our repertoire back in the day of playing live

[scarlettribbonz]

HAHAHAHA!!!! YOUR ALL SO VICIOUS!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!

[Misspretty75]

SID VICIOUS ! LOU REED IS A SOOTHSAYER ! Okay, i'm out...

[lshaw17]

Who gives a fuck about metallica, completely different genre and past it. I can't even enjoy Lou reed without retard kids getting bitchy

[cornonthejayCob1234]

@lshaw17 lol lou reed and metallica come out with a collab album november 1st

[emersontotalyconfuse]

@lshaw17 you're talking shit, Metallica was a powerful band,listen their 2 first albums Ride the Lightning & Kill'em all. full of creativity and energy!

[frusc1ant33]

@lshaw17 lol your getting bitchy because "retard kids" are getting bitchy? 

[TheElefanteBranco]

@lshaw17 do you really have to read the comments?

[nomenklaturahippie]

i Velvet U sono una vera leggenda del rock...... Lou Reed una delle menti più geniali dell'ultimo secolo. Fantastico. Immortale.

[pixargod]

18 people are not the kind of people I want to meet.

[WRCreedRS]

I hope he doesnt effect metallica with this &&*&*^%$

[tasdox1]

@WRCreedRS 1. learn to spell! 2. I hope Metallica goes to die somewhere soon. Lou is one of the pillars of rock n roll and those pusies from Mentallica or whatever crap act like they have been through something, whilst this guy is who he is and doesn't have to prove himself to anyone - especially Metallica. This guy is timeless and immortal, you little insignificant piece of rusted metallica shit!!!

[WRCreedRS]

@tasdox1 1. Im NOT english so dont blame my grammar for it. 2. Metallica doest have to prove themselves anymore because they are the god of metal.

Dont start about that metallica ACTS like they gone through something, they DID go through something. they lost ther best friend, james became alcoholic and they are still performing BETTER then ever.

And if you hope that metallica goes to die somewhere soon, that makes you an sick lonley kid that doesnt know FUCKING ANYTHING about life. Fuck you..

[tasdox1]

@WRCreedRS I'm also not english, so read more. Listen to the pillars of true music: Bob Dylan, King Crimson, The Velvet U. The Doors, The Rolling Stones, Chuck Berry-these guys practically invented rock n roll and don' t ever compare rock n roll to todays rock or metal.

Metallica wouldn't even fucking be here if it wasnt for the rock prophets as Lou who brought it to life. After you hear these guys and see the uncontainable grace in it, then talk to me. After you know my life, then insult me.

[WRCreedRS]

@tasdox1 i know those bands, and i really like The Rolling stones. But YOU see them as legends, as i see Avenged Sevenfold and Metallica as legends. And metallica WOULD have existed, because they where inspired by Diamond head. Ofcourse you cant compare it with todays rock, but i perfer todays rock.

I did not see the uncontainable grace in the songs you reccomended, because our taste in music is different. I do see it in metallica.

[mussman717word]

@WRCreedRS

You realize that Diamond Head wouldn't have existed without bands like The Doors and the Velvet Underground, right? God, open your fucking mind. And A7x?  Are you joking? At least Metallica was at one time legit.

[tasdox1]

@tasdox1 Then that is a valid opininon I am able to respect although I do not share it. But I hope you won' t spread things like your first comment, just like I don't post such comments like that on metallica songs - I don' t actually hate Metallica and metal, some songs I enjoy too.

I'm only saying it's unfair to bash on an artist, and when your favourite band is joining with him to create music, I bet he isn't as bad as you give him credit for.

[Zephyesa]

@tasdox1 r u serious dude? Metallica wud beat the fuck out of Lou Reed without even trying, its one thing to imtimidate others with danger and menace through an attitude or with intellectual putdowns, and another to just pick someone up around the throat and smash them into a wall!

[tasdox1]

@Zephyesa are you limited, dude? I wasn' t talking about physicaly assaulting....music is something much more divine and physical aspects shouldn't be somethig a musician puts forward... in music is where Lou Reed has an advantage and thats all that couts, by my opinion. so don't misinterpret my words or piss off!

[Zephyesa]

@tasdox1 whatever dude, Lou Reed wudn last ten secs with metallica in a bar room brawl

[mussman717word]

@Zephyesa

Well, of course not, it would be a 4 on 1 fight, you dunce. Besides, people who place the importance of violence above that of "intellectual put-downs" are usually those with no intellect to put somebody down with. Clearly, this applies to you. Why don't you go beat the shit out of somebody, instead of cowering behind a computer screen, you uneducated twat?

[Zephyesa]

@mussman717word well if Lou Reed or any other intellectual sarcastic snob is dumb enough to insult a guy when hes with his buddys or insult the whole group, then he deserves all 4 or how many he insulted with a putdown smashing him.

People who use their intelligence to run people down are just showing how fearful and insecure they are.

Give me your address and me and my buddys will come over and give you an arse kicking you will never forget, it sounds like you need one.

[mussman717word]

@Zephyesa

Again, you're wrong. It's one thing to look down on somebody. It's another thing to simply straighten them out. I mean, denial is to intellect as stupidity is to knowlege.  I'm not going to look down on you because you don't know something, but when you don't even try to understand it, that's totally different. And your failure to realize that, once again, proves your ignorance.

[Zephyesa]

@mussman717word speak english u twat!

[mussman717word]

@Zephyesa

Buy a dictionary, you twat!

[Zephyesa]

@mussman717word I dont need one, speak normal english

[mussman717word]

@Zephyesa

Everything I said makes sense if you think about it -- thereinlies your problem.

[FasterThanLightX]

@mussman717word @Zephyesa SHUT THE FUCK UP!

[squezey1]

@Zephyesa I just love a person who substitutes how stupid they are by beating up anyone they come to a disagreement with because they are just too stupid to think. Seriously do you think everything can be solved by violence? Hurting someone won't make you correct, in fact it just makes you even more wrong and proves how stupid you really are. Let me guess, you're gonna beat me up for being intelligent too because you want the world to be full of only stupid tough guys that can't even think?

[TenWhoWereTaken]

@Zephyesa Congratulations, you sound like a fucking idiot.

'My favourite band could beat up your favourite singer', what the fuck is wrong with you? No one cares.

The only kind of person that would rank fighting ability over intelligence is a stupid person.

[Zephyesa]

@TenWhoWereTaken haha bring your great IQ to my street, and see how long you last with your sarcastic putdowns before your front teeth are punched down your throat.

[mezzetin1]

@Zephyesa

tell you what, you stay there, and we'll check back next week to see if you're still alive, you badass mutha!

[Zephyesa]

@mezzetin1 haha u r a chicken shit!

[mezzetin1]

@Zephyesa

i'm sorry, you eat what?

[Zephyesa]

@mezzetin1 eat?

[newfuckingwave]

@TenWhoWereTaken yeah that's pretty much an admittance that 'my band couldn't make better music than yours so we will just physically silence them'

[suim2007]

@WRCreedRS

haha metallica sucks dude

[WRCreedRS]

@suim2007 So do you favorite bands

[causticprocreation]

I liked lou reed a lot more before i knew he had something to do with metallica

[youthXattack]

@causticprocreation Why the fuck did you tell us that

[nana78748]

@causticprocreation me too man

[HomeDamnHome]

[hermygagala]

[thedarkestnight100]

[marycauu]

I love the song!!! I love Lou!!!!

[KTPSLD2ABTFE]

VICIOUS!

[HypnoseElectrique]

Oh baby...............

[rjbride]

I always think this sounds like it could be a Pavement song,

[mezzetin1]

@rjbride

or television.

[Afrowonder5332]

I can dig it

[Beattodeathlikeadog]

Artist, Best Evaaarrrrr. I should get an excavator cause I dig this.

[MrSedbarrette]

a song about myself?

[robynskywalker]

ugh this is awesome!!!! why do the radio stations not play this???

[astroboirap]

@robynskywalker you have to look for good music, its not handed to you on a plate

[robynskywalker]

@astroboirap True...and finding it instead of having it handed to you makes you appreciate it more. All the same, I think radio stations should play more good music, instead of the shit they play. But oh well. 

[mezzetin1]

@robynskywalker

let's think about that one for a moment.

[alivebytheriver]

lou is absolutely rockin it heree

[Nikolicarav]

man, des song is fuckin magik!

[MsWildCard]

lou reed is the right hit to my vein

[BixinGatin]

Oh baby you so vicious...

[Raisin2girl]

Adoro Lou e il periodo Glam. Qui si trova una bella recensione di "Transformer":

crazydiamondmusic.blogspot

dopo "blogspot" mettete ".com" :D

Si parla anche di David Bowie e molti altri...scusate l'intrusione!

[TheCaptainEgo]

thumbs up if you going to the concert of Lou Reed in Rome!!!

[DrCake11]

Lou and the velvet have so much creativity.

[MrMarius103]

wach sec 8 and 9 then he say VISJES only for duch its mean fis

[BlueBloodBlues3]

Great song, can't wait till Karen Elson's version is out on vinyl for Record Store Day

[HorrorHarry100]

For Sid

[MrWoots1]

bowie sucker

[naturelover1957]

I'm from Norfolk,Va. but grew up in Va.Beach.I'm 53.My friend and I bought tickets to Lou Reed about 20 years ago.It was canceled due to lack of ticket sales!You people in Hampton Roads suck!!!Lou reed kicks ass!

[laredoland]

who is the blatent copy cat : reed or bowie ?

[GiantDoucheNG]

@laredoland neither. they were actually very good friends, bowie did background vocals on satellite of love. and their music isn't very similar.

[nunzconz]

> they were actually very good friends, bowie did background vocals on satellite of love. and their music isn't very similar.

Its the intonation and english accent that makes them sound similar. david bowies Ziggy Stardust has the laid back sound and similar patterning to vicious. Fame and possibly heroes also have similar echoes. Stylistically they do have similarities. both are poets, same era, same circles, similar circles moved in..

[ironm4id3n]

@nunzconz i don't think Lou has an english accent, i mean i agree with you but Lou Reed is a new york/yankee type guy with a northern american accent.

[TorinoCobra]

@laredoland David Bowie produced Transformer.

[markino1963]

EXCELLENT ALBUM GEM OF ROCK

[robibm2003]

I've always loved this tune and often find myself singing it while doing some mindless chores around the house.

[mmconnor1]

89dan98, I totally agree, wise words......

[chinahands100]

just enjoy the music..why keep comparing it..ffs

[daviniaosgood]

Oh baby you're so vicious! <3

[ShirtlessLocke]

I make love to my Transformer record.

[MIKENMANIAC13]

EVERY TIME I SWING MY VICIOUS SOFTBALL BAT I THINK OF THIS SONG!!! GO NEW ERA YANKEES EVIL EMPIRE MVPSPORTZ!!

[georgiadesm]

this is vicious !!!!!!

[Moldova]

15 people aren't that kinda people that we wanna meet

[KebabisLekkr]

Yay Visjes =Þ

[fogdog60]

"Transformer" is Lou's undisputed masterpiece of his long, distinguished, and underrated solo career. It's insane that the R&RHOF inducts Neil Diamond and not this guy!!!

[tyrelpottenger]

@fogdog60 agreed



[KrasnyPloshadTwo]

lou knew delmore schwartz before he died in obscurity

[mimzpiece]

you do it every hr

[deweypug]

[ciaomiao2008]

@imostritubo Si è vero xD, peccato che i Lou Reed sono venuti un po' prima di Vasco xD. Ciaooo

[imostritubo]

@ciaomiao2008

ovvio..il chitarrista di vasco si è ispirato a questo riff!te pensi che non lo soooooooooooooooo!

[PaoloExDisorder]

@ciaomiao2008 "I" Lou Reed???!!!! Mica erano un gruppo

[imostritubo]

@PaoloExDisorder

tra l'altro,diglielo va..

[stanleysoldman]

ferocious

[iloveandycuzheshot]

Andy Warhol practically wrote this song's hook... Lou Reed was having troubles with the lyrics and Andy told him, "Vicious.. You know, like if I hit you with a flower." So, yeah.. fun. little. FACT :)

[FlyingDoctor1988]

this is one of the best songs to cover!!!!

@Cal1818 Soz it took of ages 2 ans.Didn't know bout Inbox!Anyway,turns out his mood change was cuz of the meds his doc prescribed him.Lucky we sussed out that his 'Nasty' change coinsided with the taking of the meds.Once he came off them,he was back to his usual loving,funny & caring self,the 1 I fell in luv with nearly 19yrs ago.So all is good in the camp of Kazzaflaz n fella! =) Gonna listen to "Perfect Day" now!Seems apt!Lol! x
