Lou Reed '74 Australia Funniest Press Conference EVER & Wild side + Rock 'n Roll LIVE HD

[@PAULLONDEN]

+SilverCuckoo _____Why do it then ? apart from needing the press exposure....One ought to know what to expect, especially from the Australian hack press...He didn't seem that comfortable anyway with his unconvincing "hard" act......especially since Lou was a very soft and kind hearted man.....

[@diltonaguirre8468]

SilverCuckoo Seeing this interview just reminds me of some of the interviews Bob Dylan had to go through.

[@mebeasensei]

Look. I'm Australian and I take offense at your remark. I think these journalists are doing their very best to reflect us and our curiosities. Example, "Would it be right to call your music, 'Gutter Rock"?" 'Oh yeah.." and pardon me Silver, are you a homosexual (or tranvestite) ? (I am both)

[@crustyjuggler420]

I'm also from Australia and I think these journalists are pretty incompetent; the whole interview eventually starts to sound like an interrogation. I'd recoil too if I had ten people asking me personal questions in such a frank tone. It's pretty ruuuuuuude.

[@jimmybuckets5863]

I love his deadpan “I don’t take drugs…I’m high on life” immediately followed by “oh, yeah, I want ‘em (the fans) to take drugs.”

A throw away line! Nothing special or funny about it! Goons like you put singers up on a pedestal when they're just people who buy into all the adulation they receive from simply singing and playing music! They walk around thinking they're demigods! Without they fame Lou Reed and many like him are just average junkies!

[@theselector4733]

John Bryan I don't know that much about Reed apart from a few songs and the work he did with the Velvets. Personally I didn't find this interview that funny. Reed just seemed to be himself. The problem with the media and music journalists in general is that they believe that ALL musicians need them and are hungry for publicity and therefore expect them to "act" a certain way. Reed obviously either didn't give a shit or was "playing a role". Whichever of the two its a lot more interesting then the typical pandering popstar that has zero personality and is as entertaining as watching paint dry.

[@pike606]

One of the best lines--and i am not comparing LR to Knut Hamsun....LR couldn't clean Hamsun's shoes. Someone asked Hamsun ?why he wrote novels? Hamsun: To kill time. Another person asked Hamsun why he wrote a letter of introduction for Herr Hitler??? Hamsun : I was just being polite.

[@liamfan]

I made a t-shirt that said that back in 1974, because of this interview. :)

[@Tristan.Suba.44]

Being interviewed by rock/regular journalists absolutely didn’t suit to Lou Reed. I think he’d have made much, much more efforts if he had been interviewed by literary reviewers for instance. First, because he loved poetry and, secondly, they would probably have adopted a very different approach for talking to him. Statements/questions such stupid as : “you want people to take drugs themselves that’s perhaps why you sing about drugs”. I mean... when people tell you so silly things, it’s almost impossible to not mock them. That’s why Lou “earned” his reputation of being a nightmare for journalists. Because he despised stupid questions.

[@erwinwoodedge4885]

Looking at how Lou responds to the journalists makes me think of street-savvy drug dealers whilst being interrogated by the police: confuse, deny, play innocent etc.

[@thehumandidge]

thats what I thought too but why don't they ask about the music...?the lyrics etc..

[@cannabis8caution]

Not for nothing... Any person who answers questions whilst being interrogated by the police can't be considered Street-Savvy! You have the right to remain silent. ANYTHING YOU SAY can and WILL be used against you in a court of law.You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you without cost. 'I WISH TO SPEAK TO MY LAWYER'

[@andchat6241]

For how obnoxious Lou could be ,he's quite reasonable in this 'interview' having a group of people you don't know crowding you isn't usually a pleasant experience, terrible live performance tho ( seems off time compared to rock n roll animal & other performances from this era - poss shot speed beforehand?)

[@JohnDoe-mp1zk]

Interesting how nice he was in response to the woman who asked about Andy Warhol. He seemed interested in her question & didn't troll her

[@rsps16]

I had the honour of meeting him just a year before he passed. He did a song with a band that I was co-managing at the time. He came to their New York show with Laurie and even played a couple of his songs with the band. He was an incredible man.

Not possible 😉 It had to start somewhere, right? But I hear you. People mostly think that punk really started with safety pins & spikey hair, etc. They were late to the party. Maybe Iggy Pop & The Velvet Underground were the very first? I'm sure other people can list more of the same. Patti Smith was at it by 1971. Must be a decent documentary out there somewhere that covers its roots, etc. I'd like to see a good one. Any pointers would be appreciated. I think Lou Reed was following in Dylan's footsteps when messing with the press. Dylan left people enraged & confused in much the same way; but he did it with the big guns. Love watching this stuff.

[@johnarundell7951]

I agree Lou could be a hell of a prick, and that a lot of that was a "front for his lack of self confidence and his self loathing". Doesn't that make you feel a little sorry for the guy? His childhood/adolescence were no walk in the park - also, a lot of his attitude was just a very New York kinda vibe. I love my country, but Jesus our journos were a bunch of basic bitches back then (we weren't yet a very worldly country, and a much less tolerant place)...
