He was literally more talented than Bowie.
True

>>61877992
I thought this was common knowledge

What did he mean by this?
He's looking at us
>>61877992
Objectively false.
>>61877992
He certainly handled heroin better.
>>61878081
your post is objectively false, faggot

Hello Reddit!

>bowie
>heroin
>>61878036
yeah but /mu/ mourned his death less than Bowie's
But which one sucked more dicks?
As opposed to figuratively?
>>61878188
Reed was a degenerate but not of that kind
>>61877992
False, Lou Reed was a one-trick pony, even though his one trick resulted in two great VU albums and a few more solo albums. The best VU albums are still the Cale ones tho
Bowie had so so so so much more going for him
>>61878188
I'm pretty sure Bowie did.
>>61878104
what
>>61878247
Bowie pretended to be bi, Lou actually was.
>>61878186
Im a newfag so I didn't know this. That's a shame. A damn shame. I could tell this David Bowie thing was getting a bit ridiculous though. Props to all the anons who have tried to reign it in. It will only stop when those threads stop getting those (You)s
>>61878243
>Cale ones
>Bowie had so so so so much more
nope
>>61878247
idk bro I've always bought Reed's bisexuality more than Bowie's, but I'm certain both got their share
>>61878294
Not saying TVU&N and WL/WH are all Cale, but he brought out a side of Lou that never came out that well again
Also Bowie was a better lyricist alone
>>61878388
>Also Bowie was a better lyricist alone
False
>>61877992
Bowie literally made him though.
>>61878243
>one-trick
>several good albums and collabs
>>61878425
literally no
>>61878188
Lou sucked feminine dick tho
>>61878254

>>61878490
this. it isnt really gay desu.
>>61877992
Lou Reed sucks. The worst boomercore. At least Who fans don't think they're cool.
>>61878151
>>61878161
Bowie played 4 instruments and could read and write music.
>>61878500
I'm pretty sure Bowie never got involved with heroine
>>61878425
lmao you're a huge idiot
>>61878425
This...also why his best songs have Bowie all over them and the best Lou Reed song is Bowie imitating him on Queen Bitch.
Lou Reed a shit.
you just know
>>61878559
I play more than 4 instruments and can also read and write music, what's your point?
>>61878586
Literally retarded
>>61878588
Lou Reed is the fat kid at the cool table.
>>61878638
Literally the truth though.
>>61878559
and he still couldn't come up with an original idea... damn
>>61878407
Lou Reed is probably the most overrated lyricist of all time desu
>>61877992
No
He was a talentless fag
If bait, i bit all over
Triggered as fuck
Go suck a dick
>>61878586
99% of the bands you like wouldn't exist had he not released TVU&N
>>61877992
Funny , /mu/ kept calling him a talentless hack
>>61878674
Ignorant piece of shit
>>61878722
Couldn't have happened any other way.
Do you think a horse drawn buggy is better than a car?

wew
>>61878588
>tfw you will never sit at a table with a young mick jagger
>>61878677
and reed did? he played two cords over and over and recited faux beat poetry
>>61878677
This is definitely bait
Does Reed have any stuff outside of the Velvet Underground worth listening to?
>>61878764
>set the blueprint for every rock band ever
[citation needed]
>>61878787
it's true though
bowie was more of a showman than a proper musician
>>61878728
triggered.
Stay pleb with the most boomer of "artists" Lou Reed, who owes his entire career to a real artist , Warhol.
Honestly, Moe Tucker is cooler than Lou.
>>61878560
Bowie had problems with heroin and cocaine during the '70's, and was pretty honest about it afterwards. Use Google and do some reading (and check your spelling).
>>61878485
>>61878576
Uh LITERALLY yes. The only reason Transformer was good was because Bowie produced it.
>>61878764
>Blueprint for every rock band ever
This made me cringe. \mu truly a shit
>>61878795
Satellite of Love - feat Bowie.
That's it. One song.
Just go with Nico.
She is the true patricians choice.
>>61878795
Berlin
Coney Island Baby
New York
Songs for Drella
Street Hassle
The Blue Mask
Are all good
>>61878844
>She is the true patricians choice.
I never understood how she could be around Lou Reed. Wasn't she an anti-semite?
>>61878802
the citation is any book about music history, you illiterate fuck
>>61878839
This.
>>61878839
Bowie ruined that album
>>61878186
yeah but the last thing Lou released was the worst thing he ever did while Blackstar was Bowie's best album since Heroes
>>61878852
If by good you mean total shit.
>>61878840
he's right tho
>>61878904
Nice edge kiddo, you may now return to reddit
>>61878802
yeah come on dude this is common knoeld
>>61878876
so cite one
>>61878811
Yes. And lou reed wasnt neither a proper musician nor a showman. He was a modern art bullshitter. And you fags the only ones retard enough to eat his shit
>6 minutes songs with two chords with so so lyrics about edgy stuff like heroin
And
>Pic related
Lou reed fans are the most dellusional of all
Lou reed fans are
>>61878939
it's "common knowledge" that Kurt Cobain killed himself, that doesn't make it true
>>61878931
Samefag
>>61878984
i sorta agree with you but john cale made those kind of songs great
and honestly ive never listened to lulu
>>61877992
everyone knows Nico was the best of the VU
>>61879024
ok kiddo
>>61878931
the beatles, the stones, led zeppelin and black sabbath were all twice as influential as the velvet underground
>>61878276
>Sucks dick and fucks men and eats pussy and fucks women
>IT'S JUST A PRANK BRO!
>>61879052
maybe, but they inspired all the shitty bands.
all the good music was inspired by TVU & Nico :^)
>>61877992
Lou is less consistent than Bowie but the first three TVU albums are better than anything by the latter
>>61879148
>& Nico
>>61878837
>Bowie had problems with heroin
spent a while googling, because i'm actually interested in this if its true, and I've yet to discover a source.
where are you getting this from? writing a song about a "junkie" doesn't mean he necessarily did dope
>>61878186
that's because Lou didn't release a really good album a couple days before he died
>>61879163
stupid much?
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Velvet_Underground_%26_Nico
>people defening Bowie at the expense of Lou Reed
You realize Bowie would laugh at all of you right? He respected the hell out of Lou because he wasn't musically illiterate like some of you.
>>61879189
A number of artists have come forth in the last day to pay tribute to Lou Reed in the wake of his death. David Bowie writes on his website, simply: "He was a master" accompanied by this photo of the two of them. Morrissey was a bit more verbose, quoting his own song "Life Is a Pigsty". He writes, via True to You:
'Oh Lou / why did you leave us this way?'
No words to express the sadness at the death of Lou Reed. He had been there all of my life. He will always be pressed to my heart. Thank God for those, like Lou, who move within their own laws, otherwise imagine how dull the world would be. I knew the Lou of recent years and he was always full of good heart. His music will outlive time itself.
We are all timebound, but today, with the loss of liberating Lou, life is a pigsty.

called for six good mates and me
now we only call for three'

I'd never heard heroin, I'd only ever heard cocaine.
>>61879239
;-;
rip
>>61879148
most of the stuff they influenced was punk and punk is shit
>>61877992
He was literally more talented than Bowie.
>>61879276
yes
>>61878837
obviously bowie was a cocaine addict. but the only comment he made about heroin was about the recording of Low:
"And I moved to Berlin to do it. I moved out of the coke centre of the world [i.e., Los Angeles, where Station to Station was recorded] into the smack centre of the world. Thankfully, I didn't have a feeling for smack, so it wasn't a threat"
maybe you should do some reading yourself eh
>>61879228
literally what are you doing
>>61879200
>not liking lou makes someone musically illiterate
o im laffin
>>61879315
The band is not called The Velvet Underground & Nico, that's the album
>>61879164
Start here: https://www.thefix.com/content/david-bowie-drugs-warning91172
Then try this: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=David+Bowie+%26+heroin
>>61879331
Yeah, that's what he's talking about dipshit. Obviously the band as a whole is incredibly influential, but it's usually their first album that people mention when they discuss how influential they are.
![[babby intensifies].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/LJt0LJ4.jpg "[babby intensifies].jpg")
>>61879331
holy shit lmao
are you schizophrenic?
>>61879368
Sister Ray was also really influential
>>61879355
the only drug that first article mentions is cocaine. did you even read it?
>>61879310
I refer you to this post: >>61879355
>>61879355
>literally not one mention of heroin in that article
>literally not one article or interview on google concerning Bowie and heroin
is this bait, or do you seriously not read the things you post? retard
>>61879392
that's very true actually. but it's still usually TVU&N that people mention as the most influential overall album. it even has that whol 'everyone who bought a copy started a band' thing
>>61879420
you're trolling right? that article is like 100 words and you can't tell that it doesn't mention heroin once?
>>61879420
and again, i'd refer you to this: >>61879310
>>61877992
Pop > Bowie >> Reed
T b h familia
>>61879455
Kind sir, maybe I please refer you to this very post here: >>61879420
>>61879482
I refer you to this post: >>61879439
Cale >>>>>>>>> Reed
>>61879482
you got it backwards
>>61879455
Refer to this post, here: >>61879422
>>61879316
yes that's what I'm saying
feel free to dispute it
>>61879407
I suggested that you START with that one.
But I tell you what... BELIEVE WHATEVER YOU WANT TO BELIEVE.
Are you enjoying the argument about Bowie vs. Reed? I've got better things to do. Peace, and have a good night, friend.
ps. Regarding heroin, if God made anything nicer, He (or She) kept it for Himself (or Herself).

I'm going to refer you to his post once again: >>61879420
>>61879530
refer back to this post here: >>61879540
>>61879530
yeah, an article with absolutely no mention of heroin use is a great starting point for your argument that bowie was a user.
i think i'd better refer you to this post: >>61879539
It's pretty possible to like both of them, lads
>>61879539
please refer to this post: >>61879539
>>61877992
maybe?
they were both really good musicians
they were even sweet on eech other, look :3
