@dejahthoris I think if he tried to made it more dirty, it would become so "unatural".. Like it would be "trying to hard".

@MisterMorizon I agree. The lyrics are great, but the sound makes it a masterpiece.

Love the original but love this too. Both are fantastic!

He uses a wooden practice mute on the bridge of his electric viola! Ingenious!

Thanks ForARide, i'll go to listen your sugestions, specially Cale's 60's recordings.
But I will always feel that Cale's music/Lou's Lyrics, were born for each other...
See U!

One of the best songs ever written in musical history, you just have to credit Reed for these smashing lyrics. But you have to credit Cale even more for arranging that wonderful drone song (instead of making it folk as Reed planned it). Cales Cover here is one of the best covers that were ever done; some parts even better than the original. John Cale is one of the most underrated genius' in musical history. Influenced me very very much, awesome guy with awesome music. Genius Cale. Genius.

@ForARide Yeah, I agree. I actually like both artists, but to be honest, I've always thought that Cale was by far the superior of the two....Lou is just better at selling the image of himself. The way I see it, Lou is occasionally absolutally brilliant. While Cale's brilliance is much more consistent. I even think that Cale is every bit as much of a brilliant lyricist as Reed.....perhaps even outshining him. Of course that is a much more controversial statement, I admit.
