It is not just the powerful guitar playing, or the virtuoso singing and piano playing. It is the relentless tension, the ravishing and poetic lyrics. This is a huge album.
Even if Lou wrote every single thing on the album, John would deserve a lot of credit for his performance. I love his singing, and his voice is infinitely better for portraying Andy Warhol than Lou's.
Méltó dal Andy emlékére Lou gitárszólója és John Cale hangja rohadt jó..ebben a dalban:)egyik kedvenc dalommá lett ez a melódia! külön klassz hogy megemlékeznek Edie-ről..s több hires értékes emberről:)
(After enjoying this as much as possible) (and among the many marvels of this collaboration) please take also note that Lou Reed deploys the ELECTRIC GUITAR as it's supposed to be played - a sonic scalpel.
@spacebat28 Just shut the hell up, Lou Reed really makes that album ROCK you should admit that...Lou Reed Rocks!(John does too but in another sort of musical way;)
along with Style It Takes and Small Town of course. oh, and Trouble with Classicists, Hello It's me and Images. Also, I really like Work, Starlight, A Dream and the song about Valerie Solanas
Great video. I met Mr. Warhol once. He didn't seem too comfortable around me, I thought it was because I was 10 years old. I told him, 'You can curse if you want to.' (To me, that was the height of social intercourse.) He laughed!
@michaelivingstone yep. John Cale, the most underrated man in music. what an incredibly influential genius this cat is with about 30 solo albums and more produced. just saw him do Paris 1919 in Melbourne Aust and then after 1919 he blew the roof off with his band with songs like Pablo Picasso, Gun, Charole, many more. my all time favorite artist. I like Lou too, but he's got nothing on John.
This is from Songs for Drella, which Reed and Cale made together as a tribute to Andy Warhol after he died Drella being their nickname for him [a play on Cinderella]. Its a great album and I highly recommend it the vid itself is a documentary/live performance they did of the album, maybe the only one as far as I remember
They have to make another album together! I think this next time, the public would be more into it because of the recent interest in their music and the VU...not to mention the growing indie rock movement.
Almost a pity this beautiful song is specifically about Warhol, as without much alteration it could be a powerful universal sentiment. Has your life forever changed in a specific moment?
I said EVEN IF ...
I made no allegations. I do think Lou's track record as a songwriter is very impressive. When I hear Minimalist music like this, I think of John.

@ZenPapageno what makes you think Reed wrote everything?!
I´d suppose all the tracks Cale sings, he wrote himself and vice versa.
It´s as simple as that unless you have any source to prove your allegations.
