RIP Lou Reed

[Stuart Blampey]

Saw John Cale never Lou, can't win them all.. keep walking wild..

Saw Nico at Spring Street

Very sad news. Regardless of what you think of his music - personally I think he produced some brilliant stuff, especially with VU - there is no doubting his influence on those who followed. Read what fellow musicians say about him over the coming days. RIP Lou and thank you.

Shared more than pasta, Mick Ronson co-produced Transformer with Bowie.

Cutting edge with the Velvet Underground, RIP Lou Reed.

Saw him back in the day, in London, with 'The Who' and 'Bad Company' on the same bill.... Stole the show....Brilliant.

 

[Sir Cheshire Ben]

Massive influence on music as we know it today. Who can't pick out the Bowie vibe in this.

Written by Lou Reed in 1964, off the VU debut album in 1967. Wonderful.
