Ian does a wonderful performance, and Lou Reed is one of my favourite singers. Pity there was nothing but too loud empty noise backing him, rather than a true talent like Will Sergeant or the great Lou Reed himself. I hate these nineties heyday session musicians, they are loud, mediocre and think too highly of themselves.
Went to a Liverpool v Chelsea game with him and his dad in the 80s, the 80s; sat next to his dad who was a true gentlyman. 1-1 I think final score... did Pat Nevin score the equaliser? Haha...
Better than the original.
Sexy, subtle, sophisticated, Ian McCulloch is the best singer in the world!

Not bad but the distinctive energy of Mac's voice has completely gone. Pity.

Very cool version of Sweet Jane. I like how Ian kept it close as possible to Lou's song...that coat is something Lou would wear, too!

I like this. He kept the song in the original key and didn't speed it up too much or anything. I dig the guitar solo too.
