    He was very a small part of Andy's projects, but a big one in Nico's life. Rest in peace Ari Boulogne. May he rejoin with his mother Nico.

    There's an old saying when it comes to art that you need to learn the rules and then you can break them. The VU learned the rules. The filmmaker (Paul Morrissey) did not.

    • @ForARide

  • @jamosbigjaw1791
    @jamosbigjaw1791 Рік тому +11

    This is really good. Sounds like a gritty, disgusting jazz track played with sheets of metal. Although the camera man seemed to be struggling for some reason, like as if he was getting jumped as he was filming, the video captures the moment and vibe really well. I wish VU did more music similar to this in the 60s

    unfortunate about the focus in-out playing around. Of course the filmmaker never had in mind that 60 years later we might want to see the equipment they were using and how it was all set up. I don't see Lou's brown deluxe, just the silvertone and Cale's vox. Although some of the camera motions are interesting, had the camera been still, we would have learned more
