Lou Reed on Guns & Ammo

Video        Blank on Blank | PBS Digital Studios        17 February 2015

"I write a song called 'Heroin',

you would have thought that I murdered the Pope or something"

- Lou Reed on March 20, 1987, as told to Joe Smith

Lou Reed. Lou Reed.

Here we bring you a rarely heard interview

Lou recorded in 1987.

It's vintage Lou. Salty and sweet.

Earnest and cocky. Grouchy and kind of endearing.

Reed (and his legendary band The Velvet Underground)

were those musicians

who never got the extensive accolades or awards

-nor the riches many of their contemporaries found.

Yet he never seemed to waver in his search

for the perfect sound and his quest

"to elevate the rock and roll song

and take it where it hadn't been taken before."

Here we present some interview outtakes

that give a taste for this iconic American musician.

Lou Reed died of liver disease on October 27, 2013.

He was 71.
