The Velvet Underground – Coney Island Steeplechase

  General Comment:during the "Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Maybe not Friday ..." part of the song.. is it just me or does the influence of the VU on the Strokes really shine, particularly Julian Casablancas singing. The line "Maybe not Friday.." sounds exactly like his style or the style could obviously could have possibly influenced him. I don't know. Maybe it's all just coincidence, but it sounds cool all the same. it's my favorite part of the song.

  General Comment:that's total bullshit. the strokes admit to being fans, but not big fans. they have completely different styles. i hate when people go off on shit like that just because a bunch of fucking reporters say that the strokes sound like the velvet underground. watch the documentary in transit and you'll see casablancas himself make fun of it

    Well anyway, comparing that Casablancas rich kid with no talent to Lou Reed... I mean, come on man.

    I don't know how old you are, but let this be a lesson. Don't be so quick to talk unless you are 100% sure of yourself. If you are unsure, make sure you make it known, so you don't look like a fool.
