John Cale was so influential on Velvet Underground and its to bad he wasn't present. Sterling and Nico and Andy R.I.P. Just love this Band. A one off of a marriage of Film and music fashion and Godfathers of Punk . Talk about Lennon McCartney Waters Gilmour. Reed and Cale. Without each other they wern't The Same. Interesting Interview. Those records are Fabulous. From orginal release Banana 🍌 record. Whitelight Whiteheat . Loud record. Velvet Undergroud quiet record and Loaded Sweet Jane and those 1969 Live Records are Awesome.
This interview is good the thing is Lou, had social anxiety to so it’s difficult for him. At least the interviewer asked more about how they, started and he seemed straight forward.
I wish they'd asked Reed about GOIN' DOWN, a song by the Monkees (that they co-wrote) that Reed mentioned a couple of times in years past was his favorite song (or was one of his favorites). But, maybe, as per the custom, they were not a subject anyone was willing to talk about in public because they hadn't received the seal of approval from the hip-wazzi. They seemed to not really want to talk, or maybe didn't care for the interviewer. Very cold conversation/bloodless. BUT some good background information, hard-won.
Do you honestly think Reed didn’t mention a Monkees song in the short time they were given for their own career overview because he, for once, cared about what hip/trendy critics think of that band? C’mon, dude.
@@RSEFX after watching the whole thing, I got to the part where they were asked about influences. So I get the context of your question. I also heard Reed’s opinion about 3rd part reporting(the part about CCR). I think he doesn’t mind discussing the doo-wop stuff of his childhood-I still doubt he’d volunteer anything about Goin’ Down. As far as the hip factor goes, I think history had been kind to the Monkees. RRHOF aside(still under the influence of the Rolling Stone Mag gate-keepers, many contemporary opinions have been way more favorable.
@@goodie2shoes he didn’t write anything for the Monkees. Though now I want to hear them cover some pickwick lou. Just imagine dolenz singing “you’re Driving me insane” Nesmith covering “cycle Annie” Jones doing “why don’t you smile now” Or tork’s “do the ostrich “
Ef Lou for being ridiculous. Ef boey for the same . Praise bands like Saxon the has a great lead singer and keep making music for their fans. Lou and boey were so much about Image and vibe and could not have alienated me more.
Why are you here? VU were helped to "get on" by Warhol, who was catholic, and they failed basically the entire time they existed as a band, only to be reappraised later... And Lou Reed was Jewish... You Anti-Semitic Moron.
I’m happy to see Doug Yule!
Lou's impression of Andy is awesome lol The best interviewee hands down, he can go from sour to super funny in a second

The Same. Interesting Interview. Those records are Fabulous. From orginal release Banana 🍌 record.

I saw the velvet underground at a bar in Jackson Heights on 37th Ave. it had a lot of names but I think it was called Yesterdays when they were there
What year?
any memories stand out from the show?

Thanks for uploading
crazy how little views this has!
Cause it sucks
if i get 100 views i feel like i'm winning
Same as their first album was sold. Quantity is not quality...
@@jumofiBrian Eno once said very few watched this but everybody who did started their own RUclips channel😂
Whoa!I Wasn`t aware of this interview!
I wish Cale was there.
why wasn't he?
Starts at 5:17 ....your welcome
Best story is at 52:08.
The smug interviewer sabotages the event by never listening or engaging properly - hard to watch. Such a shame.
Old york
Atomic bomb LOL!
5:10
Appreciated
Where was John Cale?
did you find out?
This was post reform fallout
well might you ask.
@Coogan 🤣
He's Welsh

@@markboyd9275 Yes, as I said, MAYBE, tho not absolutely a fact...dude. Just an observation.

I have difficulty understanding some of what you write. Lou (co)-wrote this monkees song, you say? Was that in his time at pickwick?
@@goodie2shoes he didn’t write anything for the Monkees.
Though now I want to hear them cover some pickwick lou.
Just imagine dolenz singing “you’re Driving me insane”

Jones doing “why don’t you smile now”
Or tork’s “do the ostrich “
Unfortunetely a huge waste of time. I liked Moe’s point about New York renting prices
the interviewer is so dull
Almost everyone's an idiot compared to Bowie.. Bowie always knew how to step up to interviews and provide the goods
Trouble head (your)
Really? His mid 70's interview with Dick Cavett was atrocious
@@seanwinkel8890 yes, that's true. I should say post Coke
@@Vibeagain Fair enough.

Appalling interviewer. Louv clearly wishes he was anywhere but there.
Alll mostly jewish connections going on, almost as if you need them to get on in NY or even world art scene. Just saying. Nothing more..
Hateful dog-whistling. Just saying. Nothing more…
Nazis looking for rock interviews.. crazy shit

You're a fool, what a stupid ass irrelevant comment. 7 months ago to coincide with the attack in October 2023 too boot.
