Julian Casablancas - Walk on the Wild Side (Lou Reed cover)

[@SkywalkerSam64]

"I'm just an actor, playin' _Lou Reed_ right now!" Julian's so incredibly kind, doesn't wanna deceive anyone!

actors they're pretending singers they will sometimes lie

Julian casablancas doing lou reed at the opening of a levi's store is the most nyc thing that has ever happened

[@suzytucker7041]

His voice suits this song so well

[@funfor1life]

I liked your comment although I wish to add that his voice certainly is inspired by Lou's but, no disrespect, it is immensely richer (and therefore better). ;)

Yeah it does!

What a load of Fucken Bull SHIT! Completely unnecessary!!! I'll dig out my copy of Transformer if I want to hear this!!!!! HOOEY!

I think its because he learned how to sing from the velvet underground records mostly and idolized lou reed like no other

[@specter1001]

you can clearly hear the velvet underground influence in the strokes, so this was cool to see.

[@denisegalipeau8622]

I agree whole heartedly. Julian was heavily influenced by The Velvet Underground. Also, The Doors. As it was reported back in like 2001. The Strokes is the best band in the history of the world. :)

Lmao, when Jules knocks down the mic stand there is some noise that just makes the experience funny 😆

[@xxexcorcistofjennifercarpe1794]

He knocked the microphone down as he passed by, leaving the stage. shadows never go away

[@broken1394]

When the Strokes first came out I was a little slow in getting into them, Room on fire was the first l.p I got, which I loved. I saw an interview with Jules saying he saw Lou in a restaurant once but was too shy to say hello. (This was early in the Strokes career I think.) Well Lou's influence is obvious to hear, but Jules is absolutely amazing in his own right. Saw the Voidz twice this year and just had the best time. Anyway, loved this version and i'm pretty sure Lou would love Jules work if he wasn't aware of it in his life. Two of the great New York poets for sure. Viva LR & JC! ",..,"

[@sota9865]

yea there's those songs that only he can create
