I just watched 'Lou Reed live at Montreux' on TV and I was looking through MBs Search Forums and found that reading all of the posts in this thread kept my attention longer than Lou Reeds music did, but seriously.. through the first couple of songs I was really captivated by his style of music and at what a good band he had behind him, the bass player was playing a 6-string fretless and the drummer was outstanding also, It.. kinda' gave it a sour taste when Reed started singing but even then after a couple of songs I seen that his style as a vocalist was more of a 'storyteller', and his thrashing/strumming of the guitars did get a little annoying after a few bars, but I recognized the influence that his music has had on other bands like.. REM is one that stands out to me, and Reeds voice...Ive heard that tone & style before with another band, Dire Straits...is Lou Reed the lead singer for that band or am I missing something!
Lou Reed is not someone that I wouldnt personally want to listen to all the time but his style is worth giving a listen to, even if it is a brief one.
