nuttall93 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 US singer and former Velvet Underground frontman Lou Reed has died at the age of 71. Known for tracks including Perfect Day and Walk on the Wild Side, Reed was considered one of the most influential singers and songwriters in rock. The Velvet Underground became renowned for their fusion of art and music and for collaborating with Andy Warhol. According to the Associated Press news agency, Reed's literary agent said he died of a "liver-related ailment". Andrew Wylie said the musician died at his home in Long Island, New York, on Sunday morning and had not been well "for a few months". Will be missed by many.

Slacca Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 HAHA! Good! Thanks, OP, you just made my day! Well Americans don't care for much of anything land and water the least And animal life is low on the totem pole with human life not worth more than infected yeast Americans don't care too much for beauty they'll sh*t in a river, dump battery acid in a stream They'll watch dead rats wash up on the beach and complain if they can't swim They say things are done for the majority don't believe half of what you see and none of what you hear It's like what my painter friend Donald said to me "Stick a fork in their ass and turn them over, they're done" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iTz-JoNeSy Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 What does this have to do with a gaming forum? There is a news forum for this kind of stuff. Feel i'm being a bit harsh? Go blame the news. I'm tired of reading "BREAKING NEWS! DAVID BECKHAM CRASHES HIS CAR AND SCRATCHES HIS BUMPER! Nobody was hurt.". Dafuq? That ain't breaking news bitch.

Sally Maclennane Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 RIP Mr Reed - you touched and influenced many of us. And to the person above who pointed out that this is not games related - I agree, it's not. But go and listen to some of the man's music, GTA's America is the same one Lou Reed wrote about. I bet there's a good few Lou Reed fans in the GTA development team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicPunk Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Lou Reed sucked. He was an untalented wannabe who immitated what real musicians were doing. Then that god-awful Lulu came along. That's all Lou Reed right there. Lulu. WTF was Metallica thinking? I know they regret the sh*t outta it now! Condolences but f*ck that clown Lou Reed. And why is this in the V section?

Sorry guys if it's irrelevant but this is the only forum I visit and I had to post is somewhere as I'm at work with no-one really to speak to. I think a lot of Lou Reeds songs capture the dystopian criminal world with loose morals that the devs at Rockstar capture within their games. I think they are both a delve into the underworld that I know a lot of viewers on this forum appreciate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
