Massive Velvets fan Ali (though they were well before my time), and Lou Reed solo ('transformer' is a great record) ; while this was 'interesting', I don't think it really worked IMO. I saw this live on Jools too, never been a Metallica fan though I did like a few songs from 'And Justice for All' as well as the 'black' album. Though he's a legend, I have to say IMO that Reed is well past his creative peak. Was good to see though, regardless.
Do you like any of the Velvets John Cale's solo stuff? Hes done some good work.....and some very good collaborations too. This is Cale playing piano, organ and Celeste/Celesta on English singer/songwriter Nick Drakes 'Northern Sky' (beautiful song). Glad Drake is getting lots of fans now because of YT (particularly in the US mainly due to crappy TV car commercials and few films etc, but who cares.....listened to him since I was a teen. The more the merrier I say, quality will always out).
