    I never heard any tremelo on any Velvet Underground music

      Yeah, I don't really associate VU with tremolo at all, but "Train Round the Bend" does have a prominent tremolo.

    The tremelo pedal is distracting, and it serves no point because it's not on either song, in the recording or when it was even played live.

      Never heard this, sometimes people use fretless basses, but you think Lou was using a fretless guitar? Would work with tunings like the guy is talking about.

      Not quite. You need a vox repeat percussion for that, not an (over the top) triangle wave tremolo.

    Cale should have been co-credited for the music on TVU&N and WL/WH. Fucking Reed would have none of that, his enormous ego got in the way.

    • @silversnail1413
      @silversnail1413 2 роки тому

      Cry more. Cale is just a glorified producer anyway, pretty much everything he released under his own name after he left the Velvets was boring, self-indulgent tripe. Lou was always the visionary of the band and had already written a lot of the songs from the first album before he even started working with Cale. If anything, Sterling Morrison deserves more credit because he was there with Lou from the beginning.

      @@silversnail1413 Well seemingly you have a limited and superficial knowledge about the Velvets. Though Reed being a great songwriter and lyricist, it was Cale being the main archichitect of their groundbreaking sound on the first two lps. Cale brought the classical and avantgarde sounds, such as the drone, into the Velvets and therefore into rock music. Reeds compositions in the beginning sounded very Dylan'eske (I'mWaitingForTheMan:ua-cam.com/video/taCjAIWg36c/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared), it was Cale who brought those sinister and menacing sounds to the songs, giving them the right depth and weight to the lyrics. Maybe you schould get yourself one of the many VU books that are around, there's about 14 or 15 of them, and I have them all. All of the authors acknowledge Cale's major contribution to the bands sound and the arrangements of the songs. So who are you to disqualify Cale's importance to the band? Seemingly your knowledge is based on some random articels, written by lazy journalists who couldn't even name the whole lineup of the Velvets, apart from Reed, Nico and Warhol as suposedly their producer.
      As for Cale being boring, then you haven't heard much of his solo work. Cale is easily one of the most versatile musicians to ever have walked this planet, his music ranging from Rock to Pop, Avantgarde, Classical, Jazz, Blues, Punk, Goth, Country, Electronica etc. And as for his live appearances, especially between mid 70's to mid 80's John Cale was a Rock'n'roll animal on stage, even beheading a chicken while performing Heartbreak Hotel.
      Here are two live performances of Cale performing the VU classics Venus In Furs (ua-cam.com/video/15GGl7vvGVg/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared) and I'm Waiting For The Man (ua-cam.com/video/GJ6rSrYSAbg/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared), that showcase Cale's enormous intensity and stage pressence. I haven't found anything equavilant by Reed yet, his performances just sound and look pale in comparison.
      So how about you give credit to where credit is due!

      Gee, if I remember correctly, I think the first two albums are credited words by Lou Reed and music to Cale, Tucker Morrison, and Reed.
