LOU REED "The Fucking Porcupine Interview" part1

[FinallyTheNight]

@mamawowwow : You must seek your inner-woman.

[CarusoV3i]

I like buildings.

[FinallyTheNight]

Lou Reed is weak, as weak as a reed.

[DrCake11]

I fucking love this man.

[ShreddGamer14]

reed it very difficult...but he's still awesome

[CumOnYourUglyFace]

Lou Reeds said that Hanneke Groentemen kept on Kutscheeting and it smelled like Nigger cum.

[nimatek667]

i LOVE a'dam too

[storksforever2000]

haha "but im sure you could tell me" *fake shocked face*

lol lou reed is a pimp. everybody talks about how he's a dick in interviews, and its kinda true, but this bitch deserved it.

[FungusMossGnosis]

P.S. - I never realized how close Dutch was to Klingon.

[kztxrcvbnm]

oh lou is so pleasant in this.

[astroboirap]

lou looks like a giant curly twitchy pube

[eezysqueezy]

This lady should slow down and just let Lou answer.

[stonecrazy99]

Lou is a really intelligent guy.. interesting interview

[apearsog00d1]

What a smart-ass prick. I love it.

[soul7food]

Hanneke (interviewer): please stop kissing asses a bit: you're a grown up girl, aren't ya?..

about Lou: certainly the guy with the biggest sense of humor in rock-business!

[FungusMossGnosis]

@soul7food

So right: 'Everybody has pictures of people. Not everybody has pictures of Chinese people.' - that just flew over the dumb pedagog's head.

[fingerprint211b]

@FungusMossGnosis flew over my head too, what did it mean?

[3LARI]

People call him pretentious. Now there are pretentious people, but I would say they are more likely to be found on X Factor and such. When most people use the word pretentious to describe anyone who talks about poetry or novels etc, they really mean 'I can't understand or appreciate what they are talking about so I will describe them using this word which I have just found because I am a philistine and an idiot'

[13thfloor18]

@3LARI Yh it's funny how we become what we loathe in a sense. Someone thinks their insightful by calling someone else pretentious or arrogant and they are that to a tee. Lou reed is certainly mysterious but beneath the rock and roll animal thing he is another sensitive human being with a passion for poetry and music. I saw him in london like a year ago and he was really great.

[killtheswitch]

its so funny that culture is really different. their interview is like an interrogation. loll but its natural to them to be that way. haha cool

[dontleademsomuch]

listen up dumb fuck interviewers should be aesthetically pleasing.

[dontleademsomuch]

shouldn't interviewers be at least a little photogenic? what a pig!

[justchillin365]

@dontleademsomuch Interviewers only need to be good interviewers. Who gives a shit what they look like?

[tranmer3]

whada guy. check out "who am I..." "raven" cd

[Ulmeyda08]

I don't mean to upset any of you "Reedies" but Lou Reed is the living epitome of the word "pretentious."

An old-fart former "rockstar" passed his sell-by date displaying arrogance and faux pseudo-intellectualism, all while claiming himself a "poet", a "photographer", "novelist" and probably a "painter".

Then going on to make a cliched anti-Bush comment! and failing to correctly recite a line of his much "beloved" Edgar Poe even though he says he wrote a book about him?

It makes me vomit.

[xTVROXx]

i really don't see him that way at all and it think he comes across very well in this interview. His poetry is actually very interesting and he also says he takes photos for himself as a hobby so why shouldnt he call himself a photographer?

[Ulmeyda08]

Yes but my god you have to admit he seems pretentious!

[Doderhultarn89]

All artist are pretentious. All people who wants to be a writer, painter, musician is pretentious. Even if they say they are not or it seems like they are not.

[3LARI]

@Doderhultarn89 OPINION

[youhavegeniusshins]

@Doderhultarn89 How do you figure that? All creative people are pretentious, huh? I think you need to look up the definition of the word.

[Doderhultarn89]

And he fails to recite lines becose he has a hard time even remenber his OWN lyrics.

[thespecter2]

Actually, that makes your sound prentious by saying what you said. You make me vomit and so does Bush.

[Caljayc]

@Ulmeyda08 When has he ever called himself a poet? Or  photographer?

[coldironhands1]

interviewers are always assholes, because that's what people want, they want the musician mouthing off to the interviewer, and lou is famous for that god bless him

[Meatpuppet1234]

A suggestion to all of you: watch the entire interview instead of simply dismissing it as 'another painful Lou Reed interview'. The reason he did not walk out on this woman is because he likes her (part 4).

[ohbabylemonade]

She's terrible terrible terrible. Lou's cool as always though

[bonbon1995]

he has the patience of a saint, i swear to god i would have just walked out on that woman

[FRANKENMANWOLFENSTEI]

holy fuuuuck this woman's fucking unbearable.

[Doderhultarn89]

Interviewer needs to be gangraped in her mouth. That might shut her up.

[gnoeveldraaf]

There's an ex-teacher, talking to the in-side of'a Mind.

There's a world of silence between them.

Velvet goes Underground..........

[yomamadontfuk]

Hanneke Groenteman sucks yes but Lou Reed swallows Bullcum.

[IttyBittyMarianne762]

Yes she is, Hanneke Groenteman sucks!

[ledzeprules]

my god that interviewer is so fucking annoying. I wish she would stop being so overbearing.

[tamroyt]

Is it safe?

[Rapchaid]

@ledzeprules ok but she isn't overbearing

[fireplug111]

The debate still goes on in my head. Is Lou Reed a genius or retarded?

[sircorto]

No debatew here - Lou Reed is a genius

[hookabot]

yeah just pure genius

[BahmanG]

genius and asshole

[skeetrosauce]

Dumb question.

Pure genius.

[FuckThisShitWebSite]

If you are having that debate in your head, then you are retarded

[PVCVIDEOLA]

Wasn't she in Seven Beauties?

[tangoturb]

I've seen that smacking gesture before with quite some new yorkers. I wonder if its oldfashioned jiddisch/newyork behavior.

[JohnnyTrotz]

special thnx for sharing this!!!!

[eyepatchplease]

Reed's an asshole - he has no patience and jumps on any interruption (coughing, finishing the sentence) but then takes away from the interviewer while she's translating to the audience by flipping through the book beside him and commnicating with the other guest.

[fzkny]

He's great, but he can be so rude at times. The interviewer is really nice so why did he have to ask her if she wanted to finish for him?

[eyepatchplease]

No, she was finishing his sentence. Some people, certainly Reed, hate that - they take it as an interruption and presumptuous of the other person.

[themightyboooooooooo]

What's a truckling? A tiny Truck, or is it more serious?

[pojhvcxz]

Why is he so popular in Denmark?

[TheBadBandana]

Danes don't really understand Lou Reed, but they they associate him with Andy Warhol, and think Andy Warhol was a cartoonist, and they think cartoons are the most eloquent form of intellectual expression because they are...usually drunk and generally retarded.

But isn't Lou Reed popular everywhere?

[tollestrup]

This is Holland..

Now excuse me, I'm gonna watch a cartoon by Andy Warhol with my retarded sister..

[RaJulez]

ahhahahaha right on

[Gozzillacia]

ever had one of those moments when you fall in love ( once more ) with the person you were alread in love with to begin with? And sexy too!

[WhoIsPine]

wow that fat bitch really needs to shut up and let lou finish a fucking sentence..

[mickdylan]

the most sense i've read on you tube. how did lou let himself get here

[geofree1984]

lou reed's too funny

[goofygoat08]

By the way...Lou is about 60 today and he looks pretty damn good. He is also very mellow which I love about him...he's very much at ease.

"Satellite of love.....satellite of love...sat-a-lite.....of love"

[goofygoat08]

ahhhh, it's Dutch. Geez, I was stumped for the first 10 seconds.

[blabadiblabla]

wow this is very interesting, thank you very much for posting this.

[PyePye7]

No illusions about Amsterdam! It's the city which governs the the biggest slave trade in Europe! That's female slaves from all over the place in order to spin money for the pimps, the major, the corrupt police, the tourist trade and everybody else in the picture! As long as cash from slaves is rolling 'liberty' goes on in Amsterdam!

[Musician890]

...and you know all this to be true because...?

[PyePye7]

Musician890- ..because you'd have loved it, too! Right in the heart of your country-in front of your nose! Had 1st class access to the scene through a friend/foe who'd gotten involved as Mr. Pimp himself. Talked to the girls/ gangsters/guys who own whole streets of slavery..the paid off policemen...endless! Heard the stories. 3 kinds of people: Slaves, Slave Traders/Abusers, Middle Men! If interested in your neighborhood..hang out there - a lovely city: AMSTERDAM! Call your tourist board!Cheers!

[trollfinger]

But legal prostitution is better then illegal prostitution.What about parts of Asia that have young kids in them ? and it's not slavery

[PyePye7]

trollfinger- even working at the check out counter of the supermarket displays some form of slavery. It's everywhere where people are being exploited. And then those children! And not only in Asia but also in America/Europe (mostly underground). And there are slaves who keep slaves themselves. And there is mental slavery, too. It just does not stop. This planet was set up like this. It could do with a real major software update.

[Dude421]

It's truckling, ain't slavery.

[PyePye7]

Dude421- there are no border lines between truckling & slavery: The connection is seamless.

[Dude421]

You say "tomayto", I say "tomahto"....

[eyepatchplease]

It's still you say tomato and I say tamato... the implied point of that argument is that the same word is still pronounced the same.

[Dude421]

How is that justifiable? Tomato has many  multifarious makeshifts, as it is a Lycopersicon; Solanum lycopersicum... the pronouncing of it differs from what being said in Chile, in the States, Whales, Hungary, Spain, Latvia, Portugal, and certainly Isle of Man. Sure, the definition of the word is the same-- but not the pronounciation. Also I've read it's disparaging and offensive slang for Indonesian women, because of their somewhat reddish skin, but that's beside the 'poont'...esn't et?

[eyepatchplease]

You've gotta be fucking kidding me...

[Dude421]

how so? you're the own who's trying to be James Joyce.

[eyepatchplease]

As in, a linguist that understands... words?

[Dude421]

As in, a toady that groks...servility?

[Dude421]

PyePye- you only have an argument if people are listening to you.

[PyePye7]

Dude421 - Mr. Dancing Around The Bush as your statements have no related content whatsoever while you just like to play in a hypothetical sphere. Fair enough! Play with your tomato 24 hours a day! In the meantime the slavery goes on - regardless. Summing up: I was there and you were not!

If you'd been there and particularly in the right circles you would drop your idle words like a hot potato potaahto.

[Dude421]

Methinks thou protest too much.

[TheGreatBritishAlex]

methinks u use old english to sound sophisticated and/or querky :P

[Dude421]

You mean "quirky"...

[TheGreatBritishAlex]

no i mean squigelydiggelydoodaa

[Dude421]

Let us scat, then!

"Doo--wah--wah--dee-a-da-da-do­o--doo--shinko, plau-plau, winkelee, seep-treep, doo--wah--wah, doo--waah, graan; a doo--wah--wah, a doo wah--wah, graan; a sniggle-figgim gertanisto res-ress def-doo--dah--wah--wah, schnibble mesley kah-kah, raan-raa; bay-bay, you-pee, you-pee, steay, you-pee, you pee, ...steay. a doo--wah, a choh, chow. a dow wah a choh choh. a doo wah--wah graan; a doo wah--wah a dooh wah graan; a dooh-waah, a doo wah graaan.

thank you and goodnight.

[purplehazemind]

Lou is so relaxed! Maybe ´cause of the A´dams vibrations esp. in the coffee shops!

[dajcei]

oh lou.

[Snotra]

Sounds like a very liberal country...Gay life, abortion, subjective truth, and debauchery that would make the ancient Greeks get sick to the stomach.

[Snotra]

Is she speaking german...wow what an awful sounding language.

[bakabana1966]

this is Dutch !!

and we sound like this 'cause everybody is always stoned and drunk and nonstop-sexorgies allover the place, and we also can sing !!

[jawhitten]

Dutch is nice, I think it sounds great!

[tazzman560]

kiss ass >.> haha jk

[ninelivecat]

What a clever guy and Edgar Alan Poe a great writer

[looksdirty]

Me encanta Espanol. It's my mother's first language. J'adore Francais. I used to have an apartment in Paris and I love Italian. I used to bang this beautiful Italian girl...

[looksdirty]

I can't think of any language uglier than Dutch. German comes close though...

[bakabana1966]

i probably never heard an American talk

[Lowlandlord]

@looksdirty Dutch is German (technically a West German language), in German the word for German is infact Deutsch, Germany is Deutschland.

[croppybhoy]

silly bitch has not got a fukin clue

[touchogrey]

"You....going to complete it for me"

He is a bit abrasive - a little too much for his age.

[61dodgelancer]

What a funny interesting guy. I had no idea. Thanks for posting this interview.

[theliffey1]

saw lou in torino last year looked great couldnt hear him is he still touring... anybody or bodies

[castingtherunes]

I'd like to see an interviewer with balls enough to tell Lou that the less he tries - like on Coney Island Baby, Sally Can't Dance, Rock n Roll Heart, New Sensations - the better he does. Nobody's filled Lester Bangs' shoes yet.

[OsvaldoPaese]

hahaha... this is great!

I'd love to see Lou Reed on Oprah. hahaha.

I love this man.

[castingtherunes]

They'd go together like oil and water. Oprah would give Lou her judgmental mile long stare. Lou would look at her as a piece of dogshit, then walk out after one minute.

[Drewtazy]

Oprah is too self absorbed to do a decent interview anymore...she couldn't intimidate Lou so she'll never have him on.

[61dodgelancer]

OsvaldoPaese, I don't know if Oprah would like "Walk on the Wild Side" lyrics of "and the coloured girls go / do dodo do dodo do dodo ...

Maybe she'd be okay with 'em. He's a really funny, intelligent, and articulate guy. I'd watch.

[OsvaldoPaese]

Oh i know, i was just being sarcastic because they are so different. hahaha

[Deeprive]

I wonder if he can play his shit live. To the point.

Too bad it's hard to play back noise :P

[pryorandrew]

so you do or dont like Lou Reeds music? or are you talking about metalmachinemusic? it is hard to play back THAT noise

[Deeprive]

Well his music.

But mostly metal machine music :P

[pryorandrew]

far out

[castingtherunes]

Lou is quite a fan of Poe. He named one of his albums The Bells.

[pryorandrew]

i love how he got some of my favorite obscure actors willem dafoe steve buscemi and got them to recite on the raven

[MissDroplette]

sorry to pick on you,but Dafoe has been in tons of major motion pictures, and Buscemi was very well known as "king of the indies" as an actor during his heydey. For "obscure" a good example would be Rockets Redglare or someone like that..... not when referring someone who's been nominated for best supporting actor a bunch of times!

[deanburgess69]

the interviewers a bit of an antagonising bitch!

[august360]

True! lol xD

[blatspanner]

she's not a schmuck and he doesn't want to smack her.calm down already.

[samuelsackeroff]

This woman's a schmuck.

[noordzdale]

lou wants to smack this interviewer

[Droyd21]

For a change, it seems he does not want to do that. Isn't that strange?

[tarfun5959]

what a guy

[WildChildAlienFilms]

Good Interview Thanks for posting, Amsterdam Rocks!

[edgarallanpoet]

IT'S BACK! YES!
