 Lou Reed - 1975-07-17 - Adelaide, Australia (SBD)

When you think on Lou Reed, you probably first think of his singing and song writing abilities.Rolling Stone also took note of his guitar work, ranking him #52 on their 2003 list and #81 on their 2011 list of the top 100 guitarists of all time. The magazine wrote that "Lou Reed has been blowing traditional guitar styles to bits since his Velvet Underground days. A fan of Ike Turner's R&B and Ornette Coleman's free jazz, he created epic bad-trip psychedelia on songs like "Sister Ray." "He was rightfully quite proud of his own soloing," wrote fellow New York guitar luminary Robert Quine, "but resigned to the fact that most people weren't ready for it." As a solo artist, Reed kept on ripping up the rule book: See 1975's Metal Machine Music, a noise opus that took feedback further than Hendrix could have imagined." While the comparison to Jimi may be a bit of a reach, Lou could certainly handle a guitar, as evidenced in this soundboard recording from July17, 1975, 42 years ago today.
