white light/white heat Q

EVOL666 · 02.02.2010, 11:13 AM

Who played piano on the VU's White Light/White Heat? Gotta think it was John Cale, but someone tried to correct me it was Lou Reed himself. Didn't think he tickled the ivories.

I don't know exactly...but I'd imagine it was John Cale.

Wikipedia says Lou Reed :

I too would imagine it was John Cale but in the liner notes it says:

Lou Reed: Vocal, Guitar, Piano
John Cale: Vocal, Electric Viola, Organ, Bass Guitar

Yes, I think it was Lou.

EVOLghost · 02.02.2010, 02:04 PM

wow....that's actually quite surprising...heh.

Seandi · 02.02.2010, 02:07 PM

I would say Cale. Lou lacks the chops.

radarmaker · 02.02.2010, 02:35 PM

It's Lou.

DanielCarlson · 02.02.2010, 02:54 PM

Yes, it's kinda surprising. I think most people, without reading somewhere how it really is, would assume that it's Cale playing the piano.

Some guy who didn't know how to play piano.
