  • just don't understand why people think his interpretation of solsbury hill is bad. would you rather it be a note for note replica of the original? now that would be awful.

  • lou reed is decent, but this is just a butchering of this song

  • @alexshort14 really funny you say that. the guy sitting behind me basically said the same thing. i kind of liked the interpretation. but that's really what it is, it's only an interpretation.

  • So far most of Gabriel's stuff is proving un(re)coverable for other artists. Just like it was for Peter on Scratch My Back, LOL! Gabriel seems to have caught on to this and started doing orchestrated versions of his own work instead. Not exactly the high point of Gabriel's career so far or Lou Reed's for that matter too.

  • Not better but more epic than Gabriel's version.

  • it's like he took the essence of a really great song and removed that essence all together. if you think this version has merit and worth your ears are painted on. his singing pitch sucks and the guitar sound is so base and dumb. jimi hendrix once said he liked lou reed's guitar playing. he must have got a bad batch of drugs that week. i don't want a note for note replica but i wouldn't mind just a tiny amount of invention. why are the advocates of the banal so defensive? this is just crap.

  • @inkpadutah no, both are great, shut up

  • "A scandal" "Lou can't sing" "Lou Reed destroys a beautiful song"  "What a waste of time" etc.

    I love it! Lou's still producing his wonderful brand of emotionally intense art almost five decades since his first recording and people are still getting their knickers in a twist about it!

  • love that guitar-1 thing bout lou that just keeps getting better,i really liked this version and so does Peter Gabriel obviously or he wouldn't have been invited to play it

  • Sorry - like lou...but this..?? The answer of Gabriel..??? ..can't find english words..

    Go home...a Scandal..

  • Lou cant sing... keep him away from microphone please... let him just write a songs and nothing more...

  • lou reed destroys a beautiful song
