Thurston Moore - Heroin (Audio) ft. Bobby Gillespie

[@Goatchild90]

My lord, did I truly live to see a member of Sonic Youth and the frontman of Primal Scream collab on a cover of Heroin by The Velvet Underground? Be still my music geek heart!

[@stewarttaggart7764]

Hello fellow music geek that had the exact same thought as me… I am betting there are quite a few of us, hello to all of you as well, give us a shout after listening to thirston and bobbsy doing cool sounds.

[@grief8060]

i wish i met more people like us…

[@jzzpnk]

The most iconic of all VU-Songs, i love, hate and fear the depth of this trip at the same time. Lou's laugh alone after "it's my wife and it's my life" always get's me. So sad and beautiful.

[@lxx5045]

A wonderful version ..simply perfect., Thurston and Bobby G ..got it spot on.

[@ForARide]

Nothing replaces John Cale's demonic viola!

[@oldblee]

Agreed sir.

[@arimarinos4464]

I reckon they emulate the viola well , it's different , but effective .

[@TimeTraveller010]

It's beside the point, this is their interpretation.

[@kilometros1312]

Thurston moore sos la salvacion del rock en lo que queda de este mundo decadente..amar tus guitarras viajeras tus ruidos tu esencia..por siempre nirvana sonic youth y Thurston moore.

[@zo9238]

Hell yeah man, I couldn't agree more 💛

[@PrimitiveInTheExtreme]

Magnificent version. Incredible tribute.

[@TimeTraveller010]

Lou Moore, Thurston J Reed. This is a magnum opus of the V.U. Bravo!

[@vitorlouca1417]

Thurston, Bobby Gilespie, Velvet. Right I'm in

[@loopduplicate]

This song gave me goosebumps :) Thanks Thurston! What a beautiful cover of a great song.

[@ПанчеБујуклиев]

Thurston. You invent rockkroud. I was on your concert in Skopje when you played synths on a guitar. And this piece... No words. Thank you 🍻

This was so good I couldn't finish it..... And this comment is for those whom, 'The needle is no more than a toothbrush', LR.

easily one of the best adaptations of lous rolling chord playing in between the chorus's

Best song off the VU and Nico album, so hauntingly beautiful. The world needed this. 🙏 ❤️

Beautifull cover. This song is a near to death experience. But say no to drugs.

[@philoats6882]

Say Yes!

[@zachmessinger7404]

When the heroin is in my blood

[@DouglasP_]

What if drugs are better than life? Because this is what Heroin talks about; drugs only as a way to escape from a reality too harsh to bear

[@attilafuredi5224]

@@DouglasP_ Try to find something which is even better than heroin. For example: art, faith, love...

[@mercurialmagictrees]

​@@DouglasP_ drugs are meant to numb pain or cope with mental distress. However the main issue is that the pain and distress will always come back and the drugs will be less effective at lowering pain or providing comfort. It's a vicious cycle. I am sure you're of it. I don't mean to discredit your perspective because it is valid especially in regards to the message of the song. The great thing about life is that it provides many ways to heal. Drugs should be short term way to heal; otherwise they create more misery.

she is the queen.. never through the vein, just snort a little from time to time, special occasions, in good company, a pleasant place, good talks, good sex, without fear that you will not get addicted if you only consume a couple of times a week, enjoy it

[@niceday441]

HaHa....This is what I used to do... It always ends up getting you and the 24/7 use becomes the norm. So much fentanyl in H these days that you would be lucky to survive to long, imho.

Pretty soon it’s because it’s raining, the suns out, it’s hot, it’s cold, im happy, im sad, she/he is here, she/he left me, time to time turns to when your eyes are open. It’s my wife, it’s my life. Truer words have never been spoken. Godspeed.

[@philharrison5242]

This is jus like a hit of H When Bobby seductively sings “”heroin… be the death of me””. he sounds like the devil on your shoulder trying to tempt you to the dark side. .. Bobby knows. He’s been there and done it an came back ..

Question for all the Lou buffs out there (especially Thurston!). In the PBS American Masters Rock 'n Roll Heart docu there is a piece of music used in the background three times. Its Lou and what I originally thought was Cale, like some VU bootleg. Years later I heard Mr.Reed's vox in the mix, later day though, so I'm under the assumption it's a live recording of Lou & Laurie. Its really simple, drone-y, tremolo and its fckin' beautiful. You can faintly hear Lou sing/say "...my own sense of...". (its not from time rocker btw). Thurston is actually in the docu. Check it out @ 1.05.58. PLEASE HELP. This question has haunted me for years. Thank You x

Rest in Peace To The Beautiful Lou Reed I was 14 When i First Heard that Album. I knew then i wanted To Do Heroin.

[@sodiumlights]

Back in '92 Bobby G tried to persuade Kylie Minogue to cover this. Cool version.

[@stewarttaggart7764]

Cool story, I heard the same thing except it was Shaun Ryder not Bob, and it wasnt this song.... but drugs..... might have been a different story....anyway, just imagine Kylie and Shaun Ryder off their mellons on ecxtacy trying to cover this song... probably well cool...seeyerlater

[@paddyskate]

He unfortunately went on to sing with Kate moss

[@sodiumlights]

@@stewarttaggart7764 that would be bloody funny.

[@sodiumlights]

@@paddyskate yeah, and I absolutely love that single version, less so the EH one.

[@jameswarhol442]

Lou sounded freaked and desperate. This is like the gay vocal version of Heroin.

[@elyaqui5324]

As in gay ypu mean happy yes this song does make us all very gay

[@zo9238]

Gay? What's gay about it? It's breathy and desperate, if you don't like it, you don't like Thurston and Bobby's version, which is totally chill, but doesn't make it "gay" by any metric. It's still a haunting song

[@yogijager]

Did y’all ever apologize to Nardwuar?

[@orangerollsangelspit]

Thurston’s voice would’ve work a lot better sry not sry

[@johnmcgerr1355]

Pointless. The two of them should know better.
