The Velvet Underground - Heroin Reaction! 

The birth of all alternative and indie rock. A titanic work by all involved. This being from 1967 is just mind blowing. Reed was an incredible writer.

Yes! Venus in Furs next

It is a really great song, matched poetry and form of music so perfectly, and its amoral character is pretty much a prerequisite for the kind of film-like quality that Reed went for so often. The artistic impulse Reed was plugged into was not moral, it couldn't be. He strove for art, not commentary

gives you a very mind altered feel... the lyrics are just a glimpse of the experience. great song

Best ever evocation of the rollercoaster days of an addict. A bookend for the desperation in "Waiting for the Man". Other VU tunes on my replay list include "Femme Fatale", "Venus in Furs", "All Tomorrow's Parties", "Pale Blue Eyes", "White Light/White Heat".

brilliant

the string instrument is the e-viola by john cale. but it actually already strarted at the beginning and went on the whole song

My first time hearing this song as well & I really enjoyed it. I am a major David Bowie fan, so I am only familiar with any of Reed's Bowie adjacent tunes like Waiting for the Man & White Light/White Heat, etc. After hearing this I am very interested to hear more, so thanks very much for peaking my interest! Maybe you'll do more?....

Best band ever.

Have you heard the British band Tindersticks? Their song City Sickness is a subtle call-back to this.

great reaction

Fun fact... Bobby Gillespie from Primal Scream suggested Kylie do a cover of this. Imagine! 😹

Maureen Tucker made some great solo Stuff, Bo Diddley is a Track i would recommend

Superb album

Raw

" Spaceboy" by Smashing Pumpkins is 👌

The screeching string instrument towards the end is John Cale on the electric violin.

Cool album, try reacting to White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane, one of the great 60’s songs.

Have you done any Birthday Party Big Jesus Trash Can? It's a sassy stomper!

The song not the drug 😅

Obviously Maureen Tucker is a woman. Otherwise a really good reaction.
