It has taken me almost five decades to understand this classic record!!! I could hear now the subtle art form, the conceptual side of it, Lou's touch with miniminal classic music fused with Rock and Roll..
Are you sure? Check out Lou's (Steve Hunter, et al) intro on Sweet Jane. Rock'n'Roll Animal. live album. I was lucky enough to see them at Charlton. Crikey, someone. please say which year that was. Thanks.
Brilliant song, a quite astoundingly brilliant album. A certified member of my top 20 albums ever! I agree, the 2nd part of this song is particularly haunting! "but you only made love to one of us a-a-a-ah Jim, how could you treat me this way?"

So good. One of my top 20 albums ever. It's dark, nasty, spiteful, mean, and......absolutely glorious. "And when you're filled up to here with hate, beat her black and blue and get it straight"
I loved this album when I first heard it. Yes it is depressing but it's so good and ambitious. I love the fact Lou went with what he wanted to do instead of making another pop record. I have a massive respect for artists who keep their integrity..lou, bowie, iggy they were never complacent. They did whatever they wanted to do instead what people wanted them to do and I love them for it as much as I love them for their incredible music.
"All your two-bit friends - they asked you for your autograph. They put you up on stage - they thought it would be good for a laugh": I'm intrigued at the meaning of this.
Ride Paris Ride est vraiment le must absolu de Lou avec des versions invraisemblables : une intro de l'Enfer pour Sweet Jane et des enchaînements à virer dingue sur Heroin, take a walk, Oh Jim... J'en passe et des meilleures avant de conclure sur Ladies Good Night et finir en apothéose avec... ROCK’N’ROLL, réclamée à grands cris par la scène parisienne chauffée à blanc !!!

Strangely no one has mention something : this álbum was producen by Bob Ezrin , Canadian who also producen Peter Gabriel,s debut álbum & P. Floyd,s "The Wall" ...
This album, "The Wall", and Leonard Cohen's "Death of A Ladie's man" all have a very similar sound to me. "Death of A..." was produced I think by Phil Spector?
@@jordaneffinger2104 Leonard another canadian Superstar, thanks for The reply , not know about P.Spector inquier, but also know producer, regards from Medellín, COLOMBIA
The one thing that bugs me is "shootin' you up with pills". But then, who is anyone else to tell Lou Reed what he hasn't seen? "Good one, Lou. Do they swallow needles, too?" "Yeah, a couple of times, actually! Not a pretty sight...."
As far is I know it was practice to empty the contents of some pills into a saucepan and heat it or something to reduce it down to a purer state, hence shooting up with pills. Lou knew his drugs.
but its COOLER when its about a iggidelia, being iggidelic , and maybe the black and blue is about our drug soaked forearms,and filled with hate is about punk rock (; it is about Jim Osterberg 8-*

There is such raw honesty in Lou Reeds music. It hits you straight in the heart.
YES , i love BERLIN , very true your words
Louuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu 🖤🖤
Haunting, original, lou reed.
Well said. It’s Lou. Thanks, wherever you are.
Lou Reed the master of cool 😎
My favourite Lou Reed album.
Amen brother
It's been with me all my life. As brutal as it is in parts, It's been my constant companion.
The second part of this is so beautifully haunting..
+Mundi Cox I know! I find myself listening to it over and over again.
Yes and the first part is so funky. Love this song!
@@LarsK-xs2yiThe first part sounds like Iggy Pop's The Idiot album was based entirely on that
I can never decide what my fave Lou album is, it just seems to be whichever one I'm listening to..
It has taken me almost five decades to understand this classic record!!! I could hear now the subtle art form, the conceptual side of it, Lou's touch with miniminal classic music fused with Rock and Roll..
Best lead in to a song ever.

This song sounds like it came from Iggy Pop's album The Idiot
Beautiful song ❤
A great, great song
Thank you, thank you, thank you Lou in Rock n Roll afterlife. "When your looking through the eyes of hate, ooh ooh ooh ooh."

I guess Caroline was a singer at some bar
Caroline was probably Nico and Jim was Jim Morriston who Nico had a scene with. Its a tragic album one of his best, drawn from direct experience

Lou Reed meets Bertold Brecht perfect together
IT'S Great. Lou R.I.P.
I was watching the Berlin DVD yesterday afternoon when it was snowing outside. today it is still snowing, more than it was yetserday
the version in live 1973 very very very best
Jim says: "Paris isn't Paris anymore". But then again, what is, anymore, what it used to be?
merveilleux rip lou
So big so beautiful...
Some Real Dope Sick to the Gut and Just Dealing with it No Crying Kinda Feeling...Yeeeah!
great song
Love the upbeat of this song the sexy guitar licks as well makes even better 😎❤️👍🏻
So percussion

like number 366 the best album solo
1:32 typical lines for Lou Reed. Never afraid to show some autobiography.
Perfect
Muy buen disco
All your two-bit friends they're shootin' you up with pills
They said that it was good for you, that it would cure your ills
I don't care just where it's at
I'm just like an alley cat
And when you're filled up to here with hate
Don't you know you gotta get it straight
Filled up to here with hate
Beat her black and blue and get it straight
Do, do, do, do, do, do,
When you're lookin' through the eyes of hate
All your two-bit friends they're ask you for your autograph
They put you on the stage, they thought it'd be good for a laugh
But I don't care just where it's at
'Cause honey I'm just like an alley cat
And when you're filled up to here with hate
Don't you know you gotta get it straight
Filled up to here with hate
Beat her black and blue and get it straight
Uh huh
Oh Jim, how could you treat me this way
Hey hey hey
How could you treat me this way?
Oh Jim, how could you treat me this way
Hey hey
How could you treat me this way?
You know you broke my heart
Ever since you went away
Now you said that you love us
But you only make love to one of us
Oh Jim, how could you treat me this way
You know you broke my heart
Ever since you went away
When you're looking through the eyes of hate
Oh, oh, oh, oh
When you're looking through the eyes of hate
Oh, oh, oh, oh ...
Wondered if this beginning has ever been sampled...very rap oriented...Lou always was the " Original Wrapper"
Bob Dylan wrapped first I would argue
@thomasxxiv2508 probably... I ain't arguing...Reed had a song called the Original Wrapper in 86... my point.
for me it is the saddest album ....but I love it anyway
Now I know where The Idiot's electronic - nihilistic sound came from
I don't care wear it's at, I'm just like an alley cat.
Where not wear.
The musisians!!!
Jim is a dealer ... you will not see a dealer through the eyes of hate because you need him in the end ... Oh Jim💊

Absolutely sealed his fate as a giant and this is a treat in a sea of mediocrity, baby. Oooo ooo ooooo…
