Mr. Foxen Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Had he released anything since that Metallica collab? I'd kind of hate to have that as the last thing I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Apple Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 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 [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uri6LLCZVjg"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uri6LLCZVjg[/url] Thanks for the great music Lou. Farewell to a great talent.

Pinball Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 (edited) One of the albums that made me want to play bass and still an all time favourite. Check this out.

rushbo Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 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 [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpUuWYrv1cQ"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpUuWYrv1cQ[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leftybassman392 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
