Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner, yeah just tremendous. It’s a lucky thing I found ‘Rock’n’Roll Animal’ before any Velvet or other solo stuff which I could never get into.
Pure 70’s guitar driven rock frenzy. I recall hearing that Lou Reed wasn’t really a fan of it, but I looked around on the net and can’t find anything now that supports that. Maybe it was an interview with one of those guitarists or something.

I found it, it’s a Dick Wagner 2012 interview.
“Lou claims not to like it now, but he certainly loved it then. It was over the top and the band was fantastic although he eventually fired everybody and formed a whole new band doing a little more of a funky kind of thing. We were designed for stadium style rock, with big, majestic songs and arrangements. It was such a pleasure to play in that band. After that I took the band over to Alice Cooper and it became the Welcome to My Nightmare band, so that band had two lives.”
