@Faxendicke279 Right, because if you don't like her music, she's just a drug addict then. I guess someone who doesn't appreciate the Rolling Stones is also entitled to say they're just a bunch of pathetic elderly junkies? Believe it or not, some of us judge musicians by the music. Novel idea, I know!

It's so funny when she says "...in heaven...(giggles) or hell..." She had such a wonderful sense of humour. I like this version of the song too.

[Firebrand1967]

Interesting. 1960s Icons such as Nico, Maryanne Faithfull, Grace Slick totally influenced riot grrl modern rockers: Kim Gordon/Sonic Youth, Johnette Napolitano/ Concrete Blonde, Exene Cervenka/ X and of course the great Siouxsie Sioux!

I miss you Nico

[MrConcavoconvexo]

She's fabulous

Thanks for sharing, I've had a lot of criticism since 1968 for liking Nico, didn't bother me then, doesn't bother me now. She is a unique talent.

I really appreciate the crumby, grungy, almost amateurish guitar. It makes what was a very soft song much more powerful. It strips away the over ambundance of polish and glamour and merely focuses the audience on the basic melody and the prowess of Nico's voice and message.

@selimaazouri aren't we all?

@TheNEWfilmfanatic99 Heroin didn't funny enough, it had rather frozen her beauty, when I knew her in 1987 she was a beautiful woman. Not looking for points here, just what to set the crooked camera straight. xx

@karma212 Don't you think young people pay any regard to singing/songwiritng/lyrical talent?

Thank you so much for uploading this video. Its so reminescent of a time I never knew but her voice and the images gives this forced nostalgia. Shes got a magnificent voice. I kinda dig the gnarly guitar, paints a very different sound than the original song.
