>plays the worst tremolo picked guitar you've ever heard in your life
>on like every single classic Velvets song

This is one part of TVU's sound that doesn't get discussed enough. There's enough shitty tremolo "licks" and "solos" on the first two TVU albums to make black metal fans proud. Why was Lou so enamored with this shit?

>>127464108 (OP)
they sound cool with the shitty low quality recording. i don't think anyone is crazy about lou's talent as a guitarist though

I only ever listened to the banana album, but he rips pretty good on Vicious (if that's him)

No it's Ronson I think.

>>127464332
yeah on second listening there's some stuff going on there that betrays the guitarist can actually play.
slide skills too

The Velvet Underground suck so much it’s not even funny.
>it’s proto-punk
>it’s supposed to be bad
>everyone who bought the record started a band
Cope. Literally every other 60s band blew them out of the water. Lou Reed was so jealous of the Beatles that it hurts. Watching him pretend to hate them in interviews is so cringey.

And yet I would still take TVU&N or any Velvet live album over the Beatles any day. I'd take Sister Ray or Street Hassle over White Album. And I like The Beatles. And my opinion is very important.

I like the noisy stuff.

Dorky New York critics vicariously living their Rock star fantasies through this cringelord was so fucking funny looking back.

the solos in “I Heard Her Call My Name” alone earn him a place in the pantheon….
listen to some of the THE LEGENDARY GUITAR AMP TAPES and tell me The Velvet Underground weren’t some of the greatest to ever do it…

>>127464391

Does that opinion come with tampons for your pussy?

He was a talentless magazine player

This boards taste in music is utter fucking dog shit

>>127469919
If you don't know what tremolo picking is then look it up. If you can't identify it being used all over the first two Velvet Underground albums then maybe you're the retard.

you're mistaken
