THE VELVET UNDERGROUND Prague 1993

[smeghead1001]

Bobby did write Like A Rollin Stone about some socialite girl that hung around with Andy Warhol

[Tunnelof]

Shit Dylan,long live Lou Reed

[Raymantico]

Without Dylan there certainly would not have been a VU as we know it...and in terms of the racy subject matter they are famous for Dylan sang lyrics with hard drugs and sexual outlaws in 1965...musically, the VU was 3 very creative people compared to one...comparisons are odious. peace

you think bob dylan created velvet underground? i know you dont but it looks like it. he didnt have anything going like velvet, he wasn't at that range of lyrics lou wrote down, he was at a more family-gurthrie-kinda-typing. velvet underground wrote about the things that were truly adult and beyond at that time.

[AsphaltedLife]

yeah I'll come back when I'm 55 that's allright

[colpetne]

@AsphaltedLife in my eyes both dylan and reed had equally far reaching impact just to different musicians

[ChopstickBrando]

"Bob Dylan descends to the lower stages of Dante's Inferno"

[SIMPFANN]

That's actually a pretty good description of the VU as a whole, not just this song.

[Marksveldt]

personally id' say the VU is far beyond bob dylan in all ways. he made some timeless music but he never created anything as strong or influential as the VU.

[SIMPFANN]

As a huge fan of both, I'm not about to start a flame war.

[Marksveldt]

i agree, just voicing my opinion man.
