[mugwamp4]

@joemulgrew sounds like your the simple mind here joe ,,,what crap i give credit for jim kerr attempting to cover this but lou is THE man no one sings lou like lou..

[uhmfar]

@joemulgrew

Stop sniffing glue and drinking anti-freeze. It's bad for you and makes you say stupid shit.

[veloboy]

@uhmfar Is that what I'm doing wrong?? ;-)

[MrWarszawa]

someone tell me whats all this baker stuff about....is it some yankee shit?

[foundationrocks1212]

@MrWarszawa Baker is a skate company, and in one of there skate videos the intro to a part is with this song. The video is sick, all of it.

[microdottrip]

baker 3 nigger baker 3

[gremby]

amazing.

lou in heroin to play this strange song.

[stoprejectingmynames]

Awesome song.

[landocalrision]

@stoprejectingmynames yes it is Bruce Springsteen

[nasty6uldv8]

is that Bruce springsteen

[landocalrision]

@nasty6uldv8 Yes its Bruce doing that monologue

[leovannguyen]

baker baker baker baker baker 3

[nasty6uldv8]

true granpa of PuNK

[MrWarszawa]

so so wrong......lou and velvets were and still are a massive influence on countless musicians, however PUNK is an ENGLISH breed. Having said that LOU is the master.

[heystopit123]

@MrWarszawa punk is american

[oldbath]

why are skaters always so dumb? seriously, why. go away please fad. try jogging or something

[totalgeekman01]

[macmason420]

@oldbath fuck u bitch

[toipee]

BAKER 3 nigga 4ever shit

[russianpimp26]

the squid and the whale

[redyns777]

I know this song from Spacemen 3's "Ode to Street Hassle" on their album The Perfect Prescription.

[redyns777]

The riff, that is. Also from the amazing Noah Baumbach film "The Squid and the Whale," earlier mentioned.

[jbean9021]

bout to bang yall over the head nigga

BAKER 3

[peterchoyce]

BRUCE was an obscure when LOU used him here in '77. It wasn't till Born to run that he started to become to big to bare. Classic downer...

[BrianGriffin83]

Er... in fact, Born to run is of '75, so in '77 the Boss was already well known. Nice try anyway.

[MrWarszawa]

THE boss MY ARSE....Bruce forsythe has more talent.

[mugwamp4]

@MrWarszawa yeah "ya cant compete with bruce forsythe on a saturday night coz he's so fuckin funny " hahaha

[MrWarszawa]

springsteen is a very lucky man who somehow convinced people he could play and write....he is a WANKER.

[MrWarszawa]

how can lou create this masterpiece only to fuck it up by using that tosser springstein in it....i was nearly sick.

[Bollies4Life]

haha this song is only known for BAKER 3

[kamalmanzukie]

If you listen to this and other songs on his myspace page, I think they give him money for that.

[martymefurst]

Uncredited guest appearance by Bruce Springsteen ("believe me that's just a lie...")

[azurenscens]

wow i feel like an idiot for not knowing this is lou reed. but then again, i didn't listen to anything by lou reed when baker 3 came out. great skate vid and a great musician.

[squillysk8]

Hah thats where I got this song from too.

[vonman]

Baker 3.....NIGGA!

[somaliwarlord]

hey that cunt's not breathing, i think she had too much of something or another, y'know what i mean?

people get emotional soetimes they dont act rational they think they're just on tv

there's nothing we could do and if there was yknow id be the first

shalala man, why dont you just slip away

[TheTrooper80]

BAKER 3

[redredshoes]

@TheTrooper80 You know what it's called? BAD LUCK.

[PixleViewer]

Some people got no voice that they can call their own

[golfyob]

@PixleViewer by the way thats really some bad shit, that you came to our place with, but you gotta be more careful around the little girls...... oh yea!

[PixleViewer]

@hermygagala You need to listen to the entire song apparently, it's the lyrics at the end. It means they adopt others poor behaviours. Basically, it means they're non-original.

[hermygagala]

@PixleViewer Sorry dude. I just started looking hardcore into Lou Reeds Solo Work. Obviously I heard of him from first listening to VU. He is now one of my favorite artists. I would say him as a vocalist is probably my fourth favorite now. He is an amazing musician.

[kamalmanzukie]

so good.

[golfyob]

by the way thats really some bad shit that you came to our place with,but ought to be more careful around the little girls

[wine4mychillun]

This is going straight on to my playlist "The World".

[jacoreyrobinson123]

BAKER 3 MY NIGGA!!!!!!!

[thaddeusbuc]

"when you fuck with baker thats what you get"!!

[somercet1]

Yes, Reed does not end with the VU. I'm a huge fan of "Songs for Drella" as one guitar and one piano rock harder than most 4-piece hair bands.

[nuMbERsRuNN3R]

There's something about 1978 man, it seems like it was a magical year music wise.

[capotereader1]

Lou writes some of the greatest lyrics...where else can you hear "formica top bar" in any piece of music.

[GordonMorrice]

The spoken word part at 8.00 minutes is by Bruce Springsteen.

[knuckey63]

and totaly uncredited on the album!

[ronaldrupert]

This Reed epic masterpiece has withstood the test of time, unlike most his earlier solo work (think Transformer).

The LP's Street Hassle and The Blue Mask are the pinnacles of his long and sometimes self-defeating career.

[RawTheory]

I agree Transformer did not survive the test of time, I think New Sensations is a pretty decent album. It's more consistently enjoyable than some of his other pieces.

[flowerdoodle]

Transformer didnt stand the test? You are an imbecile. Listen to it a few more times. Its glam candy decadence. Its fucking bright and genius and colorful and accessible.

[RawTheory]

You are an imbecile for criticizing others for their opinion. Glam candy decadence? I think reed was better with V.U sorry to rattle your cage flowerdoodle. And i've listened to that shitty album enough to know I don't like it, go drift off to satellite of love, I'll be listening to heroin, because that is what is colorful and accessible to me.

[somercet1]

I find "Transformer" uneven compared to, say, the following LP "Berlin." Which is not to say "Berlin" is easy to listen to. :-D

[VUNCOOL]

Silly thought. If you have this great work - as I do - on the original vinyl, it's a great candidate for Sleeveface. No-one's done it yet - I'd do it myself, but I'd need a leather jacket and a chest-wax.

[gloriagomezguzman]

si puede existir un verdadero poema sinfónico en este siglo (XXI) es este espléndido poema-canción de John Cale y Lou Reed... Absolutamente magnífico. Lo que resta es basura...

[lewars1912]

Lou Reed has never taken any drugs in his life. He much prefers a nice cup of tea which I don't class as a drug. Two of his many hobbies are breeding budgies and knitting.

[citta93]

this isn't true. It's one of the best songwriters of all time, but he took drugs when he was very young (VU Period).

[AnSpailpinFanach]

Thank you SO much for this image. Budgies...Lou Reed...my God...

[gasgas270]

best ever Lou song ......

[fatesaccomplice]

Bad luck. Heh.

If Lou Reed and Paul Simon had a fight, Lou reed would win.

[pikenekue]

@fatesaccomplice In fact, Lou and Paul did had a fifht, you can see in the movie "One Trick Pony", where Lou plays the producer and Simon the singer-songwriter

[cezarw]

sha la la la

[sateliteoflove202]

[Freepablo]

Lou Reed.... liked heroin? That's a shocking statement!

[TylerFlip12]

[venisfurs]

Perfect!

[glogogu9]

Absolute masterpiece

[clairc9]

[mauriziocast]

ah!...mo scrivo io e pure in dialetto cuscì nn ce capete un cavolo.

Chesta è, p'me, la canzon' più bella de lou reed.

c'vedem a tutt

[AnonMediaProject]

Ah a classic song.

[louiseduvee]

Another legendary song, it's very realistic. All of his songs about heroin are.

[GerryLincoln]

Nice edit!

You cut out about 55 seconds (according to my CD) and it's really not noticeable.

Anyone who doesn't know this song inside out would never know the difference.

[PVCVIDEOLA]

8:00 y should put a pic of Bruce.

Thanks for posting.

[pikeymikeyirish]

Bruce Springsteen sung that verse of the song.

[jnom358]

if it wasn't for baker 3 i wouldn't of known this song at all.

[iammrcheeks]

me to me to

baker baker

[LACALVIN85]

you are such a philistine

[arcticronnie]

[Benioff1]

I loved it's use at the end of The Squid and the Whale. Great movie and great song.

[Wickedcompanyguy]

BAKER !

[gapoepe]

BAKER!!

[jland6777]

she was worth a try

[ediblewastevendors]

True storytelling was one of the Velvets extreme forte's. Often times the music industy expects a requirement from their talent base to produce a product that the public is in demand of. Reality in music is often rejected......... However/if you are true to yourself and your own ideaology you just might gain satisfaction from expressing yourself the way you want to. this is my challenge to all that who aspire. they did it and so can you.

Action

[SMUTTiSkate]

hahah baakerrrr 3
