Why exactly did Uncle Lou require a second guitar player for that ass-kernel of a song? *Especially* one in a cut-off jeans jacket with no shirt underneath!
No points!

This clip has traces of one of those Wim Wenders movies, Wings of Desire or the follow up. That's the blond angel walking around the musicians, right? I wonder if the cut-off jeans jacket sans shirt Look is the work of some German casting director.

Good call, meanstom. This must be a deleted scene from Faraway, So Close, the sequel to Wings of Desire. I remember that building, but not this performance. The guy with the pony is indeed the character Cassiel, i.e., the angel who isn't Bruno Ganz. Lou is in the movie, but in his scene he's playing the song Berlin solo in an apartment.
That's not Lou's regular band (no Fernando, no idea who the drummer is), but the guitar player I'm pretty sure is Mike Rathke, who's been Lou's guitar player for ages.
If memory serves, the script makes Lou out to be one of the angels living on earth, as is Peter Falk. Faraway, So Close is flawed, but Wings of Desire is one of my favorite movies ever.

I think the drummer is former Tom Waits/Elvis Costello sideman Michael Blair, who played for Magic and Loss-era Lou.

If you guys want to hear Lou Reed's music as he intended, Metal Machine Music is getting reissued this week.

I pray that the reissue will include bonus tracks. I'm sure this mastering will sound exactly at Lou intended it to sound. Stay tuned for interviews with the man in the coming weeks. If you haven't gotten thr drift of this feature after all this time, here will be your chance!

Just a note to correct misinformation I posted the other day. The original Metal Machine Music is already available on CD. What got issued on CD yesterday is this:
Legendary music innovator Lou Reed has announced the release of a new live interpretation of his classic experimental album, Metal Machine Music. Titled Metal Machine Music Live, the album was recorded live at MaerzMusik / Haus Der Berliner Festspiele on March 17, 2002 and performed by Zeitkratzer from Lou's songs. Ulrich Kreiger, the group's saxophone player, transcribed the sounds to create an acoustic music score for their ensemble to play live.
