umum_cypher Posted January 13, 2010 Report Posted January 13, 2010 I thought I once read Lou Reed saying that Metal Machine Music was designed to be like a long Hendrix or Townshend solo with everything but the distortion taken out (or words to that effect). And I thought I read it in the hilarious face-off interview Reed did with Lester Bangs - but I've just re-read that and it's not there. Am I making this up, or does it rings any bells for anyone? Pointers would be much appreciated. Quote
ghost of miles Posted January 13, 2010 Report Posted January 13, 2010 Not the quote you're looking for, but in the neighborhood--in his followup article in Creem, Bangs wrote the following: If you ever thought feedback was the best thing that ever happened to the guitar, well, Lou just got rid of the guitars. The Greatest Album Ever Made (Creem, 1976) Quote
