I forgot I was an old rock dinosaur who made my best music in 1967.

I can't tell who is or isn't being sarcastic here...... I'd rather watch Derek fill out his taxes than watch Lou Reed put on the best performance of his life in 2011......

I wish I was a dinosaur...... :mad:

Don't worry, you'll look like one when you reach the age of Grandpa Lou.

Truth is, he influenced more young musicians than you while he was still young. You haven't. Get over it.

I even like John Cale more than Lou Reed...... but of course that's obvious he influenced more people than our friend Derek ehre, that doesn't mean we have to think he's still relevant...... Metallica was my favorite band from age 11-16 but that doesn't mean I'd even want to have a conversation with Lars or James...... Kirk is okay I guess.........

And fuck that Robert Trujillio guy, did you know he was the guy Sharon hired to go in and redo the bass on those early Ozzy albums? What a bunch of fucking bullshit. I hope Sharon Osbourne gets pink eye........

I think he's been shit for years.

Derek or Lou Reed?

Or Robert Trujillio?

Derek makes some really beautiful music. I'm listening to it right now.

It's true, I'm a big fan of that CD-R I received in the mail last week......

I've still got time heheh.

But I'm saying he himself is irrelevant, obviously his influence isn't. The new Lou Reed album 2011 isn't influencing legions of young musicians.

Hahahaha this is gonna suck so much ass.

Although I can't help but be reminded of MTV's Icon: Metallica they did about 10 yrs back. You had Snoop Dogg singing Sad But True, Avril singing Fuel, KoRn performing One and Limp Bizkit did Sanitarium. Master of Puppets was even covered by Sum 41, of all bands. If anyone is curious - there's videos of it all over YouTube. Pretty damn irrelevant to this thread but yeah.

Actually, Korn and Limp Bizkit were the LEAST embarassing of all those guys. Sum 41 were OK. But yeah, Avril and Snoop Dogg...Snoop Dogg's usually good, but that...nnnnnnnnnnnooooooooooooooooooooo

I'm pretty sure Snoop was just having fun with it, since his style didn't really fit the bill. Haha, kinda like when Marilyn Manson would occasionaly come out and awkwardly scream the chorus of "The Way I Am" during Eminem's live shows.

I agree that KoRn and Bizkit did best. I can't believe how stellar the Bizkit cover was actually. I liked Avril too, just 'cause. Sum 41.... I could care less. Bleh.

In my opinion they tried to do what fans want in Death Magnetic. It seemed they listened carefully Ride the Lightning, Puppets and Justice, picked there riffs, changed them a little and then put riffs from the different "original" songs into a same song. And I just can´t work! (Well it seems many fans swallowed that). I think it is just great there is no solos in St. Anger, there is already too much useless solos in the world. And I think there´s nothing to edit, I love it all!

I think Lou made great work also in Transformer and Berlin...

• Set the Twilight Reeling (1996)
• Ecstasy (2000)
• The Raven (2003)
• Hudson River Wind Meditations (2007)

i listened to ecstasy yesterday and i think it´s a very very very good record.

Haha sure.
