The Velvet Underground: Moe Tucker Part 1 

She is majorly responsible for the Velvet’s sound. Minimalist to the core.

I love her voice on the song I’m Sticking With You. Sweet and innocent. That’s her on drums too.

Finding a drummer who keeps a rock solid beat, is creative and intelligent, doesn’t get high, keeps a job but will quit the job to tour is like winning the musical lottery

I love her, she's so normal and simple but she's fucking Moe Tucker so I mean come on man

I love Moe, she made the best music together with Lou. Her drum play is the best.

overlooked drummer.unorthodox drummer.singer songwriter overlooked as well.she's lou reed's counterpart.

she's so sweet i love her

She was the last option for drummers and that's how she became the drummer for the greatest band of all time

I’m so glad she is still alive and well and able to share stories of her history with one of the greatest groups of all time. She is finally getting the recognition she deserves after all this time. I like her drumming style a lot. Go Moe Go!

She's so adorable 🤗 Absolutely love the Velvet Underground!

Watched Velvet Underground at the Hippodrome in San Diego, and love Moe every sense. I am 73 now, a Moe is still here to.

Head held high.

Maybe its just me right now but Ive always loved the tribal sound of drums alot of proto and postpunk bands use. She talks about how she rather played different drumsets, like an african set than a normal one, because it fit the situation more. Considering the music after this band, that was a huge decision

Great interview, Moe!!

She's so sweet and cool. It seems almost inconceivable that she could have been in the Velvets considering their attitudes and habits.

¡¡La amo!!! GRACIAS MOE TUCKER

Great upload

Wow. So cool to be her. Seriously.

Thanks, so interesting

love your work!!

Lou has just passed and I haven't seen this interview yet. A year ago. I have to watch this given I am an aspiring music journalist. Mo seems cool.

She’s so sweet I love her so much 🥹 I love her performance in after hours

What a cool chick. Legend

💘

Top!

Drummers truly are the unsung heroes of rock bands. Exhibit A:

I love Maureen Tucker's drumming. I would totally prefer to play that way if I ever had to take up the drums.

Best drummer ever

Moe Tucker is sublime. Aside from some vocalists who seemed to ''come me out of nowhere''. Moe is arguably the most valuable yet strangest yet completely natural musical resource ever found by any band in rock and roll history. A complete anomaly. She is a ''primitive'' genius in the Grandma Moses school of rock. The Velvets had the amazing sense to keep her from the beginning to the end. They could have easily replaced her. I think they kept her because she was so sane in a crowd of craziness.

Grande!

Moe - I don't know if you'll ever read this but if you do this is my chance to say a big thank you.

My mom named me after her xD Cheers, Moe!

godstar

Just playing the kit didnt fit...song comes first! Her selflessness made her innovative and unique . Smart and humble , made the VU one of the best bands ever.

"Temporary agencies"?

Love her. LOVE YOU MO!!! Rock on, little drummer girl. (Wasn't there a JJ somebody or other who used to play with you some times? Ohhh . . it'll come to me!) 😀🙏🏼

i embarrassed myself

They're lucky to have had Moe, because a regular style drum kit would not have given them the unique sound. No More, No Velvet Underground. As bad as some of you don't like to hear that.

No Hi Hat!

what happened to her right side of the face?

i want to marry her.

Year?

she looks old because of drug use but shes still one of the most influentl drummers of all time

At least she didn't end up like Victoria Jackson

Sshhh.Let 'MOE' TUCKER.TELL IT..#Please."Moe' is probAly best dont u feel.hmm'[Your not 1 of those']#true beleivers-#

She seems like a nice person. Never really liked that band or got the hype though. Their songs like Heroin are long and tedious. Hard to sit through. The only song I like by Lou Reed is Take a Walk on the Wild Side. But that is because of the bass, not him. Million things I'd rather do than listen to Nico sing. Tomorrow's Parties and I'll Be Your Mirror are horrible songs in my opinion and are pretty much representative their whole catalog. I feel like the kid in that Emperor's New Clothes story every time people go on about how they are so great but I think they are crap. I'm prepared for the backlash of comments and the inevitable "you don't get it" "it was so underrated" "it was avant garde... minimalist... bro be like... blah blah blah." But I've open mindedly listened to everything they did and even if everyone else tries to convince me otherwise, I will always feel that the Velvet Underground just wasn't good.

no, she grew up and grew brains

you know we have the technology to upload the whole interview in one shot? why did you upload 10 three minute videos for crying outloud????

i like to marry her too.but why she´s only on the left side looking old?

Kinda pretentious dividing this over several parts. What's the point in that? Revenue I suppose

She's an anti-socialist tea party activist who believed that Obama was seeking to destroy America from within. I love her!

Talented musician, sadly a right-wing nutcase though

Wow. She's so incredibly ordinary-looking. If you saw her at Target you wouldn't give her a second glance and she looks like someone's older Boomer mother who would be buying snapples and people magazine. You would never know that she was such an influential great figure in the Canon of rock and roll

*'No chicks in the band' (except for Maureen and Nico)*

She a crazy Trump boomer nowadays?
