Lou Reed interview 11 octobre 2007

[Randyhart]

As beautiful as his music is and how intelligent he is. He certainly needs to be more aware that he's a bit of a knob.

[boyscoutonacid]

Love lou, cause Lou's natural.

[LibeleePursuitsXI]

Lou Reed is one of my favorite fag. Gotta love him! (i'm straight)

[Zyphes]

"I'm sorry I mentioned 9/11, I'll never do that again"

What a motherfucking genius.

[ISamuelII]

@Zyphes I would loved to hear him go on from there but they cut from it. It seemed to me as if she wanted to hear if it was the sudden open space or what it was that drew him to film it. It didn't sound like she was heading to [ff] terror talk.

I'll second what LibeleePursuitsXI just said.

[rochebraziliano]

crapper of craps

[deathbypowerglove]

I kinda like artists being jerks, most interviewers dont know shit about their subject and ask stupid questions pre made by someone else. how about someone who knows about Lou Reed's music?

[67675656565655656565]

he's old now and old people are useless and serve no purpose in society so therefore they need to be exterminated.

[TumbrelJockey]

@67675656565655656565 Maybe you would like to begin your purge with me.Punch my "ticket "- in the language of the street .I would then be free .Free to travel through walls & barriers at will.Free to inhabit your head until you run screaming for the nearest cliff.Would you like that ?

[67675656565655656565]

@TumbrelJockey did you know lou reed faviourate hobby is fisting

[duffman5800]

@67675656565655656565 lol nice trolling

[billycorgan69]

[bakabana1967]

@billycorgan69

the name of this incredible song is

VENUS IN FURS

from the Velvets first album The Velvet underground & Nico (1966),

with the banana on the cover, played very loud,

the MONOversion is the best.

[billycorgan69]

@bakabana1967 thankyou you legend.

[fishpawsable]

lou's is a talented guy, but he always has been, and always will be, a rude, egomaniacal asshole.

[11joshman]

man, lou reed has gotten really old within the years

[MechanicalSelection]

@11joshman humans tend to

[11joshman]

@MechanicalSelection yeah i know but i think jimmy page looks younger than him and like the same age

[emilianopierro]

si , lou reed

[enuneko]

He does sooooooooooooooooo much smack.

[mos277]

what a boss

[mrtibbs24]

he looks clean now

[DARKnDODGY]

check my vids out for "Lou Reed - perfect day (animated)"...

[dirtynuke]

lou reed... what a wise ass

the journalists hated him after that interview. hahaha :P

[Deodanth23]

"I'm sorry I mentioned 9/11, I'll never do that again." So cool Lou.

Rock on with yer flip-up glasses (Lou's Views!!) and badass orange parka.

[VUNCOOL]

"Rock journalism is people who can't write interviewing people who can't talk for people who can't read." I know Lou Reed didn't like Frank Zappa, but they agreed on one thing!

[muttilo]

Why did Lou induct Frank Z in the R&R Hall of Fame ?

[lee88614]

good job lou is use to shooting up

[jogawhile]

What is he sour about always.. Spoilt nut case...but i enjoyed teh Blue Mask album...yet he hated jesse JAckson

[2424john]

not the nicest of guys

[Dingalingring]

I don't blame Lou for being irritated with journalists. They ask him dumb questions and invade his personal space too much. At least Lou is real. He displays his true feelings instead of concealing his grumpiness and annoyance. I love Lou.

[anitasseo]

qué grande lou...

parece gasalla ahora, eso es lo raro..

y obviamente está medio quemao... pero mucho más lúcido que la gran mayoría.

[rlumbier]

He still doesn't like journalists

[beamerZ]

Does he ever smile?

[elleisimo]

yeah wen i saw him perform at royal albert hall he smiled : )

[ItsCabs]

He smiled at me once. We were the only two people eating breakfast, midmorning, in a cafe in Sandy Springs, north side of Atlanta. I nodded at his motorcycle helment, and he smiled. I didn't bother him, and he didn't bother me.He's alright.

[Waren2k6]

hahaha! :D

[JohnnyTrotz]

yer. what a great Dude.

[poshbird65]

this is so hilarious.

[ludy39]

I love this man!

[louiseduvee]

I find this interview tasteful and interesting. Thanks for posting.

[frrrrrankenstein]

i love the 9/11 jibe

[Lahi53]

Who cares who he has sex with or doesn't, his music is great.

[67675656565655656565]

@Lahi53 he fucked my dog

[liamMaru]

He may have been a faggot at one time or another, but i can guarantee he's been with plenty more beautiful women than you.

[FijneWIET]

@liamMaru ehm interesting...

[willywonka091]

hey, get the fuck outta here, buddy.

[stacyblue1980]

"Its in the other room right now."

Hehe.

[ninelivecat]

Wow check out the orange Jacket and T-shirt Lou must like Holland

[precele]

He does not look like the 'walk on the wild side' cat at all. Is it because the ' le funky week-end moutaineer' jacket and 'le flip-up geriatric glasses'.

Tempus fugit. I guess

Panta rei

[BoodieMcSmallz]

Are you fucked in the head? The VU was a BIG fucking hit because of Andy Warhol. They were like the man fuckin Factory group until Reed told Warhol to fuck off. Catch up on your fuckin' history.

[FijneWIET]

@BoodieMcSmallz ehm sorry, the VU a big hit?? They were not, they lived in poverty, Lou and John sold their blood to earn a few bucks.

Warhol used the Velvets to play in front of the screen on which he projected his movies. The Factory involved many more artists than just The VU.

[pryorandrew]

thats harsh shit man...your fuckin comments are boring

[pryorandrew]

snore bitch snore! hi im SBSRN875487 "oh shoot heroin in your eyeballs...I come onto videos just to diss them I'm a turd"

[cologey]

none of those bands compare to the VU, bowie's career was saved by lou reed when he let him produce transformer, so lou reed let him be in his service, then beat him up a few years later, iggy pop is nothing to lou. thats why he has to do cameos in friends movies and lou has an exibition in holland. you really dont know what your talking about, as iggy and bowie liked a bit of heroin too. your a moron.

[Meatpuppet1234]

Seriously, what's your problem? Lot's of people enjoy his music and he's the one that's been taking up space? The life of Paris Hilton is so much more entertaining!

[67675656565655656565]

@Meatpuppet1234 wow you think your so culturally superior because you can slag of paris hilton and you listen to some bitchy old fart who was relevant in the 1960's.

[husseochdoggen]

The combo of being stupid and not witty! What can you do then? If youre rockstar you can be arrogant of course. But Lou is boring as a person and made som fantastic music, long time ago. Listen to his music instead :)

[RolloverKrishna]

Lou is just being Lou....

[sutusevenkamyoncu]

is the camera with you all the time?

it's in the other room now

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[mbumburu]

I grew up on Lou's music and admire his art..but why does he have to be such a hostile asshole in every interview I've ever seen?

[antiuser]

Just imagine being asked mostly the same questions, over and over. It'd irritate you as well. He seems to express himself better through art than speaking directly to someone, anyway.

[sleestack808]

beats working for a living though

[dengood]

I think he believes he sees the world in a way nobody else does. I don't find any enlightenment in it but see someone who is insecure in their own constitution and therefore has to be abrasive to protect his image. I do like that one song he did 40 years ago, other than that what good is he.

[smurfthumper]

Which one song?

[dengood]

I bet if you guessed which ONE you would be right.

[smurfthumper]

I'll take a shot at it. Forty years ago puts him in the White Light/White Heat era, so . . . "Sister Ray"? But wait! You made your comment a month ago, which puts us in 1967. "Heroin"? I bet it was "Heroin." Or maybe "Venus in Furs." That's a good one, too.

[Tadeusz598]

I rather agree. The man also lacks a sense of humour, taking himself far too seriously..."This reminds me of great oil paintings"..."isn`t that amazing"...well actually, Lou, no, it isn`t, it`s an extremely average photo, and there are thousands like it on Flickr or any other free web hosting site...

[pryorandrew]

Except hes talking about new york in amsterdam Some havent been there man...!?

[BlachenProductions]

lou reed is a legend. I love how he's so open and he doesn't bullshit or smile and shit he doesn't find humorous. Awesome guy.
