Certainly has a sweet guitar duo to launch it. However, like everything else, it crashes as soon as Lou opens his mouth.
Who were the guitarists? I forget...
Funny...to read favorables about a progressive NYC pre-punk punk band from a Reaganite! Music is so cool that way.
Listen to the bass player. He holds the entire thing together. Who were the guitarists? I forget...
Not sure. I'll google that one.
They were an anti-hippy band.
Comparing "Heroin" - and its underlying message - to all the fruity, let's-all-hold-hands-and-get-high California pop of the time is fascinating.

Rock n Roll Animal is a live album by Lou Reed, released in 1974. In its original form, it features five songs from different periods of his creative career, including several songs by the Velvet Underground. The songs are all re-arranged into a powerful glam rock set. The musicians were Pentti Glan (drums) and Prakash John (bass) of the contemporary Alice Cooper band, Ray Colcord (keyboards), and Dick Wagner and Steve Hunter on guitars. The album was recorded live on December 21, 1973 (1973-12-21), at Howard Stein’s Academy of Music in New York.
Can’t just listen to Marine marches all the time you know, LOL
Actually I was seeing punker bands on tour in the 80s and did a little promotion, but voted for Reagan and went to see him speak 2x... I form my own values and beliefs! I just didn’t try to argue supply-side economics at a Clash concert, ha
