The song KILL YOUR SONS is about his parents sending Lou to a mental hospital because he was bisexual and they gave him psych meds and electric shock treatment to "cure him of being bisexual", it was Ex Gay Therapy in his day. The psychiatrist killed Lou.
@@maciejzychowicz8052 Actually, it fried Lou's brain. His family said he was never the same. Not only did it change his personality, it destroyed his memory retention.
@@christy7698 I'm not saying that electroshock therapy didn't have major impact on him, but that it was given to him to cure him of being bisexual is a myth created by Lou himself(one of many), and for all i know, all of his records were made after that. so it's bullshit to say psychiatrist killed Lou, whatever you think of psychiatrists
Oh my dear they stil do it now they changed the name from electric shock therapy to ECT electro convulsive .. yeah like that changed it ! At least they don't thorw them in ice water anymore ? Or do they?
I'm originally from NY where Lou was just about considered a deity. He always shared my no. 1 favorite space with another artist. Someone told me, "But the guy can't sing!" I told him that the depth of Lou's poetry makes up for, and beyond, for not having perhaps a "better" singing voice.
Thank u also LOU does the first talking singing before rap!! Or did. And he could sing shes obviously not a fan or just wanted to brag about the “space” rude! The man is desd
And you have heard how mabt of his albums? Also he doesnt use echo and crap live mostly like the fuax pll out there today ! Dude the man is dead RUDE! Too soon period actually nit even that just rude ! He also liked to mess around with his “style “ like on this magic moment in list highway it cracks me up …
Love the gritty honesty, and attitude... the lyrics and the laconic delivery in the studio track. As noted, very personal, real and tough underlying subject. The live in italy version guitar solo is worth checking out
i am Italian roaming catholic but i do appreciate good EN writing: poetry in words, evoking images that tear your heart .. all with a touch of cynicism (only for who has a functioning brain )
Lou Reed admitted to being scared in Sweden in this sequel to the movie "Smoke". Do you remember it's name? Well maybe the CIA doesn't want you to remember.
I kinda liked the original studio version of the song over this .....this is a key change as well and it sounds too slick. The original was just a drug fucked and totally honest 'gesture'.
Lou's sister says this part of his story doesn't count anymore, and that no one can talk about it while she's in the room or she might get miffed. (See Todd Haynes' 2021 Velvet Underground documentary.)
Shes a cow yeah now rhat he cant defend himself ! He has way too much in him to not have had EST WHITE LIGHT WHITE HEAT AND HE KNOWS ! No one would be that well never mind you saw 2 mins of her ib the documentary also he didn't like her either …. Shes a cow ! That was so rude she wasn't with him … and bowie would have known … if lou was not truthful re that wouldn't have done what he did for Lou
“The President called to give me the news
I’ve been awarded the Nobel Prize in rhythm & blues”
Lou’s humor was hillarious sometimes😂😂😂
I saw this lineup twice, talk about transcendence and magic. Can't get enough Fernando Saunders!
I am just watching this whole show! I am going nuts i miss him so bad lately like delayed reaction
A great song from one of the finest rock albums ever made IMHO good on ya Lou
Omg i love sally cant dance and it’s been on serial play the last omg 6 months ! They found her in the trunk of a Ford
One of the best bands Lou ever had. Phenomenal.
a great poet, songwriter and his songs do not get old...

bullshit, by the way i'm almost sure he died some time later

that's all i meant
Actually gay not bi … and yeah he says the two hospitals he was in .. his sister is a cow
Fav song ever yes it is like that
How can this still be legal to do to another human being? The only plus side to this is that it fueled some of Lou's best work!

if you listen to his musical career you find he certainly could sing, practically until the end. People change, their voices too.

That drummer man... On point as fuck
At 1:55 does the drummer break a stick and then ever so smoothly grabs another one?

Musically speaking, "Kill Your Sons" sounds a bit like "Song of a Baker" by the Small Faces -- especially in this slowed-down live arrangement.
nope
Noo and he recorded the first version in the 60s different subject kill your sons tho
the only, the only one, Jesus live

This is painful to listen to. Absolutely no voice or singing ability. Keith Richards sounds operatic in comparison.
Really? Then move on! This concert rocks and you need to stop beating the man is dead go away
These are painful to read no class at all
@ Really? Artists who passed away cannot be criticized? So John Lennon wrote only great songs? This is not a family funeral.
@ Do you have anything intelligent to say? Preferably on subject.
