Lou Reed first found
prominence as the guitarist and principal singer-songwriter of The Velvet
Underground. The band, which lasted from 1965 until 1973 (with Reed departing in
late 1970 during the Loaded sessions), gained relatively little notice during
its life but is often considered the seed from which most alternative traditions
of rock music sprang. As the Velvets' songwriter, Reed wrote about such taboo
subjects as S&M ("Venus in Furs"), transvestites ("Sister Ray"), transsexuals
("Lady Godiva's Operation"), prostitution ("There She Goes Again"), and drug use
("I'm Waiting for the Man", "White Light/White Heat", "Heroin"). As a guitarist,
he made innovative use of abrasive distortion, volume-driven feedback, and
nonstandard tunings. Reed's flat, New York voice, stripped of superficial
emotions and, like Bob Dylan's, flaunting its lack of conventional training, was
no less important to the music's radical effect. |
