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.”
