Rarely have I read such piffle in my life:
Ostrich guitar on "The Velvet Underground and Nico" = LOULead guitar on "The Gift" = LOULead guitar on "I Heard Her Call My Name" = LOUAll of the really weird and imaginative guitar playing on "Sister Ray" = LOULead rhythm guitar on "What Goes On" (Live 1969 version) = LOU (tho Sterl's there as well)Lead rhythm guitar on "We're Gonna Have a Real Good Time Together" (Live 1969 version) = LOURhythm guitar on "Foggy Notion" = LOU
... etc etc etc

So. That settles it then, right?
Is there a TS: Mo Tucker vs. Ringo thread?

That is absolutely 100% Lou Reed - nobody else can play the guitar simultaneously that badly and that brilliantly. Everybody else was well pissed off with Lou on that for track for sneaking back into the studio and mixing the lead guitar 10 times louder than everything else on the track - which I don't see Lou doing if it was Sterling Morrison on lead guitar, do you? Sterl's lead work is very distinctive also of course - see "Foggy Notion"!

I remember something about Lou mixing the guitars way high, but I didn't know it was specifically to do with that track.
x-post: Lou played solos on the reunion tour. That's him on "Hey Mr. Rain."

I'd have to say John Wicks (from UK bands The Records and Kursaal Flyers) is a better rythm guitarist than John Lennon or Lou Reed. English guys seem to have an inherited feel for rythm.― David Duran, Thursday, June 1, 2006 8:37 PM (7 years ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink
