@LukeHasGamez It doesn't matter whether he can "sing" or not. Technical proficiency is for those without vision. Revolver is an incredible album, and the Velvet Underground *is* what is left of indie rock. The rest is just noise.
I guess by the comments by other people here on youtube many people don't seem to understand art. It's not about how good "technically speaking" you are at singing. Art comes from the heart, just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's not art.
This was from his "shooting meth and drinking nectar" period. Anything he says to the media in this (and almost every other) period can be taken with a grain of salt. One of the most honest interviews I've seen from this guy was in a martial arts magazine from the early 00's.
@LukyPhilo if you were paying attention, the follow up question is "buying drugs for other people?" and he says yeah. But your first mistake was taking any of it seriously.
This is one of my favorite Lou interviews. Lou's a hell of a nice guy, or at least he was when I met him a few years back after a show. 2008. He was tired as hell, but still obliged my friend and I by giving us a hug, signing our stuff, taking a pic with me and chatting it up for a few mins. One of the best nights of my life. I'm sure he can be a dick, I've read all the stories...but maybe he's mellowed a bit in his old age. Anyway, great musician. One of my favorites, for sure.
@MyAccount4TrollingU so he's an idiot? may I ask why? is it because some douchebag English journalists asked him ridiculous questions that he didn't seem to have any patience for? if so, well then sure anyone can come off like an 'idiot' at any given time
@MyAccount4TrollingU how in the fuck is he a poser? he was singing rock music when you were swimmin' around in your dad. What are you a journalist or something? You empathize with these idiots asking him ridiculous shit, He probably made himself available thinking they just might ask him something worthwhile. All these fuckin clowns did was pry into shit about his personal life that wasn't any of their business in the first place. I'm glad he came off like such a prick
@81thirtytwo I see you are 23, so I will take that into consideration. I am the same age as this poser , and heard his music then as I have heard it now. He has always been a tool and a knob, and his "talent" is ridiculously overrated.
@MyAccount4TrollingU You're 69? Then you should be mature enough to appreciate him. You also should be mature enough not to be calling people "tools."
@82rondo I do realise that, yes, but i still think he sounds foolish and not very witty. I think the sycophants love his crazy attitude in this interview though. Like it or not, the mainstream media made him what he is. Music is nothing without an audience.
@AllyWheels I appreciate his standoffish answers to what are mostly asinine questions. Music journalism is stupid on the whole and Lou Reed is right to be critical of it.
@djmuaddib Contrary to that, i think he milked this media opportunity to the extreme, appealing to his more easily impressed fans. He is sooo cool and funny etc. I just think he sounded foolish and hypocritical.
Actually he played them perfectly, everything he said was a contradiction. Journalists are all looking for one thing that they can screw people with, he gave that to them and then take it away seconds later. His music, lifestyle lyrics and everything about him was about paradox, that's how he got attention and that's how he made people listen. the subject matter was questionable, he stayed neutral on everything and let the Journalists answer the questions on his behalf.
How can you help but love this guy. Even if he put out bad music which he does NOT you still couldn't help but love his attitude. Mind you he put out some of the most amazing music of all time. The best pycedellic rocker of all time. I love how he acts all aloof in this interview and constantly contradicts himself.
I'm tired of seeing phoney interviews & my heart leapt watching an icon like Lou breaking away from giving a typical know-nothing interview with wasted words to be forgotten as soon as they escape your lips. Also he look great,love the hair. The tradgedy of growing old.
God, I Love Lou !!! Idiotic questions deserve snarky, sarcastic answers ! He looked a bit like a blonde Richard Belzer when he looks straight at the camera . The reporters are all serious, scribbling down what he says like they got a scoop and Lou fell into their trap----fuckin' fools !
He's only expecting questions that are incriminating that is why he constantly checks the reporter's presumptions because that's when most artists reveal themselves is when they assume a part of a question that make it incriminating. it's the reporter's fault but as an artist you also have to be aware of how you play the game, and this man played it correctly, whether if his morals were right or wrong
I love how his sarcasm is taken so seriously by ppl. They'd be shocked to know his IQ and education level. HAHAHa "I didn't say that, the press did" -- "are you a transvestite or a homosexual?" LOU - Whats the difference?" lmfao.. ohhhh how awesome to wake up to Lou Reed!
Tha grin when he said he doesn't take drugs is a grin only a junkie would get. Unfortunately, I am one of them. I have also listened to many a Lou Reed tunes after fixing. The grin he's giving is such a cultural statement of the time, the "drug culture" vs "them"
@red33m23 ARE YOU KIDDING ME? of course making good music is the most important thing. im just saying that LOU REED IS AS AWSEOME AS HE IS BECAUSE OF EVERY LITTLE THING HE DID (that includes taking drugs), every action he made led to right now, the moment where you and i both listen to his music. apart from that im also saying that there's a great deal of his songs that talk about drugs and it would have been impossible for him to write them without taking them.
@Masto12321 I for no reason support taking drugs so I really like his songs as far as they don't promote the use of drugs.
I have a deep faith that every person is better in character without them. Maybe Lou has covered his weak personality by using chemical substances like these.
Conclusion: I really love his music but I really don't care to bear in mind his fake personality.
@red33m23 yea reed needed drugs to write half of his music epsicially the vr shit i don't think it would be the same if he wasn't popping smack in the 60's
It's ok giving weird answers if they're funny or witty. His are neither. He's just saying simple, obvious, non-committal things because he can't think quickly. It's like a comedian dying before your eyes - cringeworthy and embarrassing! And to think I used to be the 3rd-joined member of the Lou Reed UK Fan Club back in the 70s!
Awesome. I love standoffish interviews with out of touch journalists. I mean, who in the position of Lou Reed circa 1974 would actually have given these people a proper interview? That wouldn't make sense.
I think Reed, Dylan and other prophets knew that whatever got published about them would be hugely inaccurate and gross distortions of who they were. So they felt no problem in confusing these reporters with strange responses and self-contradicting statements. They recognized the idiocy of these grown men and women frantically scribbling down their mumbled musings to be read by the waiting room crowd in Time magazine.
This is why I hate mainstream artists nowadays, They are all about public relations and having a really cliche chat to the reporters about how much of a great time theyre having in whichever city theyre in, then mentioning one or two songs as well as future intents.... its so boring, so cowardly. they stick almost to an unwritten template for interviews so that they cant look bad. but lets face it, a real rock n roller shouldnt really give a shit what he/she says....
@lusidghost its the fact that we listen to their songs because we enjoy them and it doesnt matters why or what it means or who is lou reed ishe gay or if he uses drugs what does matters is that he made great songs.
@lusidghost its the fact that we listen to their songs because we enjoy them and it doesnt matters why or what it means or who is lou reed is he gay or if he uses drugs what does matters is that he made great songs.
Such a lousy interview, maybe its symtomatic of the situation in the 70ties. The whole situation makes it shallow and Lou is just like a blank screen for the interviewer.
I really like Lou Reed but I fucking hate the way he twists everything to make him seem almost unlike himself, or sort of hidden in a way. He wants to contradict everything his audience may assume... Like when the reporter is asking questions his answers are brief and the opposite of what might be expected to say.. I don't really know, but he seems like a dick.
Lou is just providing a feedback loop into the septic-tank that is celebrity-driven journalism. At least he has a sense of humor, unlike some who actually seem to believe their own hype, ugh. I wonder if "The INsider" would air this if it happened today, i'm guessing not many would get the joke.
EVERYONE...if you like lou reed PLEASE add person called Marko Matorić on facebook...he looks exactly like him...hahahaha im fucking serious this is no joke :D
You thought he was an Arsehole to the Ozzie's? He was more an Arsehole to the Kiwi's. He trashed his Hotel room. Walked out of interviews and even stubbed out a cigeretteb etween the thighs of one pretty female Interviewer. Walked around with Head phones on constantly, so no-body couold talk to him.... only time a Journo caught up with him was at a Chemist on Ponsonby road. He was after Prozac.
I can't tell if he's being genuine, putting on an act two be funny, or being a douche, but if it's one of the first two he is soo much cooler than I thought he was before watching this!
He was overt here....

@lusidghost its the fact that we listen to their songs because we enjoy them and it doesnt matters why or what it means or who is lou reed is he gay or if he uses drugs what does matters is that he made great songs.

@BunnyMan456 He's not trying to be anyone - He's BEING Lou Reed

Such a lousy interview, maybe its symtomatic of the situation in the 70ties. The whole situation makes it shallow and Lou is just like a blank screen for the interviewer.

I really like Lou Reed but I fucking hate the way he twists everything to make him seem almost unlike himself, or sort of hidden in a way. He wants to contradict everything his audience may assume... Like when the reporter is asking questions his answers are brief and the opposite of what might be expected to say.. I don't really know, but he seems like a dick.

Lou is just providing a feedback loop into the septic-tank that is celebrity-driven journalism. At least he has a sense of humor, unlike some who actually seem to believe their own hype, ugh. I wonder if "The INsider" would air this if it happened today, i'm guessing not many would get the joke.

You thought he was an Arsehole to the Ozzie's? He was more an Arsehole to the Kiwi's. He trashed his Hotel room. Walked out of interviews and even stubbed out a cigeretteb etween the thighs of one pretty female Interviewer. Walked around with Head phones on constantly, so no-body couold talk to him.... only time a Journo caught up with him was at a Chemist on Ponsonby road. He was after Prozac.

Drugs?
Get to rehab, get clean, and get addicted to pharmaceuticals

I can't tell if he's being genuine, putting on an act two be funny, or being a douche, but if it's one of the first two he is soo much cooler than I thought he was before watching this!
