Lou Reed is dead

[Cat Burrito]

For those who might be interested. The Velvets were standard listening when I was in Sixth Form [url="http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/lou-reed-velvet-underground-leader-and-rock-pioneer-dead-at-71-20131027"]http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/lou-reed-velvet-underground-leader-and-rock-pioneer-dead-at-71-20131027[/url]

Sad news & just this afternoon I had a visit from an old g/f telling me her 1st husband, one of my old best mates has died at 60

Love the Velvets, great man. RIP

[Mr. Foxen]

Had he released anything since that Metallica collab? I'd kind of hate to have that as the last thing I did.

Bloody Hell! And I was just watching Herbie Flowers tell the story about the 'Walk On The Wild Side' bass line.

I'll never forget listening to this track after getting lucky with Amy Sharpe when I was 17. Life changing and never forgotten

Thanks for the great music Lou. Farewell to a great talent.

One of the albums that made me want to play bass and still an all time favourite. Check this out.

As well as the sad news of Lou Reed's passing, sorry to hear about your mate John

Just read this on the net, sad news, an original talent - RIP Lou Reed

[rushbo]

What a massive influence on so many artists, from Bowie to REM and beyond. Here's my favourite Lou solo tune from a fantastic period of his career where he worked with the late, brilliant Robert Quine, Fred Maher and the amazing Fernando Saunders on Bass

Ironically I associate the Velvets' first album with a very happy period in my life. Happens to the best of us but sad news all the same.

Sometimes people wonder why we get upset over the deaths of people we have never met. But this is why. They provide the soundtracks to our lives. The memories come flooding back when a great music maker dies
