John Cale as usual prove to be a class act.
amazing, imagine having him as a bandmate. brilliant
at one time in the 70s that would be hilarious thing to hear
What do you mean by that?
@@mercurialmagictrees yeah he was pretty deranged, but it was a nice race between him and Reed in being totally OUT :D
@@dani1334 he was deranged because he was a coke fiend in the 70s..now he is sober and making good music…check out Hobosapiens
the coolest fucking band ever
Nico just sung on 3 songs for the first album but she probably deserved recognition for being a part of a seminal album, along with her solo career.
It's likely that the Velvets got the deal with Verve because of Nico
Nico was the big star in the velvets originally because she was already famous. Obviously she wasn’t the creative force of the early group (although her solo stuff is good I think). So i guess it is recognition for her giving them the initial step up they needed.
Nico's solo album Chelsea Girl was pretty good also. Check out the song These Days which was recorded with Jackson Browne. It was recorded in 1967 immediately following her work recording on those songs from The Velvet Underground debut. Im a big velvet underground/lou reed fan, and I used to say I like everything except those songs Nico sang on from the first album. But then I learned to appreciate those songs and her voice, and listened to her Chelsea Girl record, and i think those songs with VU wouldn't be right with a different vocalist. Like All Tomorrow's Parties, terrific track. Her solo album has a very similar early Velvet Underground vibe if you are into that sort of thing.
John Cale looks as charming as ever. Poor Doug not even included consider the second phase of the band.
Maureen Tucker... one of the greatest rock drummers of all time
PoS as a human being.
@@stevec1770 really?
"Sales are not the be all and end all of rock 'n' roll" ~
Tell that to Nick Drake, Roxy Music, MC5, Husker Du, Joy Division, Talk Talk, The Smiths, The Replacements, Black Flag, Jane's Addiction, Public Image Limited, The Jam, The Minutemen, Sonic Youth, X, and The Pixies.
Actually, tell it to voting committee of The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
I think you missed the point
u-said-what? The B-52's and Carpenters, Depeche Mode, The Cure, Siouxsie And The Banshees and Devo
I think Roxy did quite well... sales-wise.
Joy Division needs to be in for sure.
@@stephenkane2464 I think he was pointing out that those bands were extremely influential yet aren't in the HoF.
to this day, it floors me that they attended the ceremony: the original fuck-it-all outlaws/outsiders of rock
John Cale kinda nailed it best without actually stating the obvious which is : The Velvet Underground was the cornerstone of Rock n Roll ... at one time .... even of All time
These guys are for me like the beatles or rolling stones are for most people.
By the way they are objectively more than rs
@@II-xl7lj ????
@@znuswumriken4213 Umm, what's not clear? I say VU is more significant than stones
Same they completely informed everything i love about music, the sacred texts..
"oh wow I like velvets more than Beatles" they're both great bands.
Patti Smith always cracks me up.
why
Nico and Andy Warhol were very important for the success of the Velvet Underground. Why is Doug Yule not mentioned?
Chelsea G yeah good point, self titled and loaded were excellent albums
I think he’s referring to the people who have passed away as well as helped the Velvet Underground succeed. Doug Yule made amazing contributions to the band, but is still alive.
They probably didnt mentioned him because he continued the band without the founding members.
Cale hates the fact the band made really great music from 1968 to 1970 that he had nothing to do with. He wasn’t about to thank the person who replaced him.
@@markusrose9667He's salty about his former band making great songs after he was fired. Salty dude with great talent, similar ro Roger Waters
That made me cry.

greatest respect to what john said about sales
What a beautiful band, one of the greatest ever. And now Lou Reed is in the Hall of Fame too. If John Lennon was the Abraham Lincoln of Rock and Roll, surely Lou Reed was its Teddy Roosevelt. From the time I was a kid in the Sixties, I always admired Lou's genius and sly sense of humor, and his ability to out-Dylan Dylan. May this great man rest in peace, the great hero of rock and roll.
John Lennon, Lou Reed and Ray Davies
The greatest
@Dandan He's full of shit. Ignore him. Lincoln and Roosevelt, FFS what BS.
I had the same haircut as John cale back in 96 , I was only 14. Makes me feel less of a dweeb when I look back at pictures now,
I didn't have any hair in 96 cause I was born then 🤪
the fact that doug yule wasnt mentioned is terrible. he was a great vocalist
and bass player and keyboardist.
Because he made Squeeze!!
Doug Yule takes a slap in the face.....
No kidding. Doug Yule, Lou Reed's brother!
Velvets have to be in the top 3 of the most influential bands ever.
No. 1
@@ForARide yes
Not one mention of Doug Yule. Outrageous! He sang on way more songs than Nico did.
He also made Squeeze so no he doesn't deserve it!!
@@dirkdiggler7771 He also played bass on some of their best tracks.
He can' t beat Djokovic even Lou is dead ! But he deserves more chips , that s right the mascara snake !
Best band in the world
Where is Doug Yule?
I got their boxed set Peel Slowly and See in the 1990s when I was a teen and their albums were still unavailable the best kept secret of rock and roll, beyond greatness
Joy Division's main influence is Velvet Underground. Tony Wulson from Factory Records used same name Warhol used for this Club. Love VU and always will. They changed music forever.
Joy Division is really great
Everyone, from Bowie, to Can, The Strokes, to JD, are influenced by the Velvets.
Iggy Pop / Stooges were a huge influence too on JD. Especially the album Iggy made with Bowie in Berlin, the Idiot.
@@gavvino1and also Warsawa by Bowie
John Cale shows himself to have been dignified in the situation. And it’s a real shame that they never recognized Doug Yule.
Memory!
I am surprised they just blew off doug yule. He actually played on more songs then john Cale.
Misses Sterling Morisson
the best
GOD-FUCKING-DAMIT, WE MISS THE LIVING SHIT/FUCK OUT OF YA LOU!!!! From the bottom of my heart, I miss ya bro!
Bro. Lol
😆 amen bro
YOU miss him.
Obrigado por tudo Velvet Underground! Alem de ser uma de minhas bandas inspirou muito as demais. God bless you all!
Grande banda né meu amigo
The one award ceremony where the inductee is actually encouraged if not expected to give a really long speech, especially a band, as each member is expected to thank all of their people and then give a little summary about how they got started or why the were important or how they overcame the odds, and The Velvets still have to be too cool for school, like they were all still on heroin, and give probably the shortest induction speech of all time, especially Lou. Gotta love them man, they're the real deal.
Yule got screwed
Exactly.
They’d have definitely brought Doug Yule for this occasion. I know it is difficult to have Doug for the reunion tour because of Cale’s presence, but he is the official member of The Velvet Underground and the third album doesn’t sound the same without his contribution. It seems Lou probably didn’t care who else are inducted, but Cale is the one who felt insecure about his legacy.
Idk what Cale has to worry about, his kegacy is the VU and so is Doug's. It seems like often band members just get sore at their replacements even if there's nothing personal about it. Both were great musicians.
Yule’s exclusion is a crime. As great as those first two albums were, the last two were equally as influential if not more. To not even be mentioned along with Nico and Andy makes it obvious that Doug was deliberately snubbed.
Nice :)
Sterling was a pivotal part of the Velvets! At least they all mentioned him.
Doug Yule should have been there.
Or at least mentioned, Christ
come on...doug deserves some credit
And Nico!
54markl nico isn't in the velvet underground. She only sang 3 songs on 1 album.
andymorphic67 Doug deserves credit for being part of the Velvets but also putting up with Lou in the 1970s as part of Lou's back up band. I heard that at one show in Europe Lou shot a huge needle of heroin into his arm. Five minutes before he had to go on Lou passed out, the only one who they could think of too pull off the playing and singing was Doug Yule given his past history with Lou in tge Velvets. So Doug pulled the leather jacket off Lou and grabbed Lou's sunglass and went on as Lou for the show and surprisingly pulled it off. Lou eventually came around and heard what happened, and thanked Doug for covering for him. Doug quite the band shortly after that incident.😎
@@54markl John Cale at least gives Nico credit (she had died by this point). The other members never considered her a full member of the band, but that first album would definitely be missing something without her. Yule played a major role on the last two albums, and no one even mentions him. That's possibly a Reed/Cale thing; they refused to have him on the reunion either.
If what John Cale said about it not being all about sales is correct then let's get Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes inducted next.
Touching moment for a modest group of rock music trail blazers.
Doug Yule
This is so strange to watch now. The Velvets and all the like-minded bands who followed them were a part of my adolescence through early adulthood, and yet I never once considered them a part of the R&R mainstream, nor measured them by that metric. To my mind, they existed completely outside of the bounds of the crass capitalism which dictated success or failure for so many others, and if you view them through that prism...then they were abject failures. Their sales were dismal, they reached only a handful of the faithful...no, it just doesn't work. They have merit...value, if you will, for so many of us because they managed to totally transcend those boundaries to reach out and touch our heartstrings. Thank you Lou, Sterling, Mo, John, Nico, and Andy (and many others, as well)...what goes on in your mind?
What about Doug Yule?
The exclusion of Doug Yule is a disgrace and not a good look for all those who played a hand in that regrettable decision.
Miguel Torres the inclusion of Doug Yule into the band is not a good look for all those who played a hand in that regrettable decision
Dug Yule!

I'd like to thank the HOF for not supplying Patti Smith with a hair brush or toothbrush. What the fuck? You might be a rock & roll artist, but good hygiene is the cornerstone of every civilized nation!
Where's Doug Yule?!! :O
They don't even mention him! Should he have died first, or something? :/
He wasn't inducted with them!
It's a disgrace that Doug Yule was left out of this. I'm not sure how the rest of the band can sit comfortably with this glaring omission. Yule was a significant band member, vocalist and co-writer for pretty much half the Velvets recorded output (at least re the studio albums). Shameful and pretty cruel.
Yes it is
Moreover, it was a no-brainer to induct them in their first year of eigibility. The Velvet Underground were not particularly popular but certainly nobody disputes their huge influence. Should have been inducted in their very first year of eligibility, which would have allowed Sterling to participate... I get why they showed up to accept but there is a strong argument for not showing up. Unfortunate that Lou sort of kissed up to this institution.
whats up with Lou Reed there?
Where's Doug Yule!?
coisa de evangelico, olhem pro teu passado e sintan vergonha novos ricos
Slade deserve the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame does not deserve Slade.
DOUG YULE. THAT'S D, O, U, G, Y, U, L, E,
BRO WHERES DOUG YULE
Doug Yule?
Oh come on, share it with Nico? Who sang on a few songs on one album? What about Doug Yule who was a member of the band for years?
Nico is what got them attention early on with her beauty and her monotone way of singing. It's also what made Andy want to throw money at them and promote them. So yes Nico is a VIP in the band for those very reasons. The first album with her singing was and is their most popular.
Nico deserved that honor...Doug too.
Mel Bee Andy was interested in the Velvet Underground before nico joined. Nico was added to the band by Andy because he was interested in them.
@@DavidMFBowie Yes. Warhol chose her specifically to be in the band and wanted her to be the lead singer, but Lou Reed wasn't having it. He compromised and chose specific songs for her to sing
yeah I agree. the 1969 and 1970 album were awesome, I'm happy he was there to help.
No Doug?
Did the group lose their British accents when they moved to the states!?
all of them are american except for john cale
why was she cold to John Cale?
Don't know, but they're getting together October 23rd for a concert.
Maureen is a member of the Tea Party! Isn't that great/ What about Doug Yule they left him out
Really? What a shame ...
Squeeze is just as bad as the Tea Party
Uh, Doug Yule, anyone?
One of the most succinct r n r hall of fame inductions. Show's a bit of class. Compare this to Madonna's and you can see why after she got inducted this institution lost a lot of its credibility.
What about Doug
it seems that he is hated. I don't know why honestly
Mo and Sterling were pro-Doug but Cale stonewalled him although he didn't really know him.
@@Syfoll Cause he made Squeeze!!
No Doug Yule = shameful.
"Sterling, and Nico, and Andy" AND DOUG YOU SHEEP SHAGGER
Weird speeches....
they all look miserable
Thats why the music is so good and unique
Why is the Velvet Unground in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? I thought a Hall of Fame was for those who master their craft and is better than the rest? Like having Top 40 hits on The Billboard Top 100 and having albums in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200. It's like if the Baseball Hall of Fame put Aaron Boone in the Hall for his walk off home run during Game 7 of the 2003 ALCS but the rest of his career was shit. Doesn't make sense.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame isn't there for the acts who simply have hits & sales on the pop charts, it's there to honor the artists who left an historic & cultural impact/significance on the development of rock & roll. The Velvet Underground pretty much did leave an impact with their innovations & experimentations on their first 4 albums & those records who the general public brought inspired them to start a band. Not to mention, they started the whole "underground music" culture & lots of genres including punk, new wave, alternative, electronic, metal & more would be traced back to the VU. So before you ask why they are in, maybe learn about their history first.
I hope this was sarcasm?
Innovation & influence. Not everything is about Top 40 hits.
Yes, sales are not the important thing of rock and roll, dear Mr. Cale. Being a pretentious elitist who nobody wants to listen to surely are.
John Cale is the genius who really made the VU's music memorable. Without him, as Maureen said in a long interview in 9 parts, they were just something different. Meaning, a band like other bands.
You got problems, hun? Did he piss on your breakfast or what?
Sorry, that doesn’t hold water because self titled and Loaded are just as incredible as the first two (maybe even more so but that’s a matter of taste)and as misguided as Maureen is these days I’m sure she’d be the first to agree.
And yes, it’s shameful Doug Yule wasn’t there or even mentioned. Allegedly Cale and Reed were the ones responsible. He wasn’t some side guy - he was an ACTUAL member that was on more tracks than Cale. Sour grapes and revisionism at its worst.
No mention of Nico whatsoever... That is shameful... Methinks Lou had something to do with that...petty little man.
Where is Doug Yule?
I think he forgot his invitation and was outside ...
