Recorded VU/Reed Covers by Stones/Dylan

No.

Well no not strictly speaking, but "There She Goes" obviously rips off the Stones who were in turning ripping off etc

"I can't stand it anymore" is supposedly Reed's pisstake of Dylan (NYC poets both, in theory) and Reed once said of Dylan that he was the kind of guy you'd tell to shut up at a party!!!!!!

Ha Ha HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love Bob tho. They were both on heroin in 67 - why the animosity?

Who Needs The Sun? is an OBVIOUS ANSWER RECORD.

Well Jagger told Nick Kent in 1977 that The Stones were influenced by The Velvet Underground. He said the pace and rhythm of the intro to Stray Cat Blues from Beggars Banquet steals from the likes of Heroin on the Velvets first album. Kent didn't believe him but Jagger's right of course. The guitar intro sounds like the Wedding Present who of course based their whole career on "What Goes On" from the 3rd Velvets LP. Jagger was dismissively responding to Kent's questions on punk and the Pistols and told Kent that it was The Velvet Underground "who started all that sound". Got all this from David Dalton's 1981 book, The Rolling Stones: The First 20 Years - best ever on the Stones.

no, wedding present based their entire career on the last 45 seconds of orange juice's "simply thrilled honey"

dylan wrote "i'll keep it with mine", done by nico on "chelsea girl" - i know it's the wrong way round, but it's the closest i can think of.

Do you mean who LOVES the sun? Who covered that? dylan or the stones?

I read a Johnny Marr interview in which he says the VU ripped off the three chord intro to There She Goes from the Stones.

dylan based his whole career on the guitar note 13'17" into GEORGE BEST

Yeah Chris, Just have a listen to Hitch Hike on Out of Our Heads etc and rip offs don't get much more blatant.

Lou always fancied himself as a soul man haha, so I'm pretty sure the VU pinched that riff from the Marvin Gaye original of 'Hitch Hike' rather than from the Stones cover.

Reed seems to constantly change his mind abt Dylan - he once picked 'Biograph' as one of his all-time fave whatsits. Ditto w/ Zappa - LR used to say that FZ was "the single most untalented man I know" (hurrah!) but then later inducted Zappa into the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame (boo!) And John Cale once claimed that the VU used to hate Dylan's 'question songs' like 'Blowin' In The Wind', although that didn't stop the VU from sounding like hippy folkers on their earliest demos (as heard on the 'Peel Softly And See' Box.)

Nowadays Lou certainly does that Dylan thing of totally changing the rhythm/meaning/emphasis/vocal melody of his 'greatest hits' when he's singing 'em live - I guess it's a way of sustaining some kind of interest during the umpteenth run-through of 'Walk On The Wild Side' or whatever...
