"whoever is playing the piano.."

seriously? you can't take a guess who it might be??

the real talent in the velvets if you need to know

[doctorfuse007]

Cale should have prepared the piano a la Cage. Reed's got one of the great rock voices, the unlucky bastard.

@shenwen i wouldnt be that biased man. it was lou and johns band they both had the same amount of influence.

@Mirada84 talking about charisma: just compare any performance of Reed doing this song here on youtube and those of John Cale, which I´ve uploaded and the upload of femmeBanale. If you come up with any Reed performance which equals those of Cale please let me know!

40 anni fa.....11 anni prima che io nascessi eppure....al giorno d'oggi di musica così valida non ne esiste....alcuni sono musicisti altri sono geni... rock'n rol

Based off Lou's facial expression and his lidded eyes, i half expect to see a syringe laying beneath his chair, the needle still dripping the heroin he had just scored from...the man.

@shenwen hey whoa wait a minute...Cale is very talented and yes he did give VU their unique sound. But hold on, Lou is just magnetic, his words are painful and mysterious. I think all four velvets contributed equally. But lou had the charisma.

@thebandcoca lou is on junk and cale is probably fucked up too but he caught it/got it right after a bar or two

[redredshoes]

Goodness, Lou looks somewhat bouldered.
